TL;DR: Whether an early multidisciplinary geriatric intervention in elderly patients with hip fracture reduced length of stay, morbidity, and mortality and improved functional evolution is evaluated.

TL;DR: An age-associated defect in the very early steps of T lymphocyte activation that might influence later stages of lymphocyte function is characterized and an alteration in the transmission of the activation signal from the cell surface to protein kinase C may play a primary role.

TL;DR: The reported association between late surgery and higher morbidity and mortality in patients with hip fracture is mostly explained by medical reasons for surgical delay, although some association between very delayed surgery and worse outcomes persists.

TL;DR: The first Reunion de Trabajo Multidisciplinar en Oncogeriatria as discussed by the authors was held in 2011, in which a linea de trabajo conjunta entre different especialidades intervienen habitualmente en el manejo del paciente de edad avanzada con patologia oncologica.

TL;DR: Experiments demonstrate the integrity of the CD28 pathway in elderly people, and suggest that ageing does not affect different T cell activation pathways equally, and demonstrate the importance of age-associated phenotypic T cell changes for an adequate CD28 response.
