TL;DR: Current guidelines to score the Cumulative Illness Rating Scale (CIRS) and test their usefulness in hospitalized elderly patients are updated and tested.

TL;DR: An integrated view of the dysregulation of these two antagonistic systems in human obesity complicated with hypertension, metabolic syndrome, and increased cardiovascular risk is proposed.

TL;DR: The epidemiological load and problems faced when confronted with elder ED patients are analyzed, and Triage, clinical assessment and discharge are identified as critical moments during an emergency care process, and interesting and useful instruments are proposed as possible solutions.

TL;DR: The aims of the present review are to summarize recent evidence concerning drug-related hospitalization in older adults, to assess the contribution of specific medications, and to identify potential interventions able to reduce the occurrence of these drug- related events, as they are, at least partly, potentially preventable.

TL;DR: ISAR is a useful screening tool for frailty and identifies elderly patients at risk of adverse outcomes after an ED visit and can also be used to select high-risk patients more likely to benefit from a geriatric approach or intervention, independently of admission or discharge.
