6. 4. Medication-related problems and psychotropic drug use in vulnerable older populations : a focus on acute hospital admissions and cognitive impairment

   Author : Jonas Kindstedt; Maria Gustafsson; Hugo Lövheim; Eva-Lotta Glader; Staffan Hägg; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; older people; cognitive impairment; medication-related problems; psychotropic drugs; Clinical Pharmacology; klinisk farmakologi;

   Abstract : The ageing process involves several physiological changes that affect both pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics and that, in combination with a heavier disease burden and more extensive use of medicines, put older people at higher risk of medication-related problems and associated clinical outcomes. The older population is often treated as a homogenous group, when in fact there are factors that render certain individuals more vulnerable to adverse drug effects and other types of medication-related problems.

7. 5. Assessments and Risk Factors for Falls in Persons with Acute Stroke

   Author : Hanna Sjöholm; Ann-Sofi Kammerlind; Staffan Hägg; Lars Nyberg; Christina Brogårdh; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Background: Early identification of risk factors is crucial for reducing the high fall risk associated with stroke, and sex differences in relation to falls need to be further investigated. There is a lack of uniform, standardized, and reliable testing procedures for postural reactions, and existing tests assessing negotiating obstacles while walking cannot be performed when walking aids are used.
