TL;DR: The data indicate that an increase in the abundance of a pro-inflammatory GMB taxon, Escherichia/Shigella, and a reduction in the abundances of an anti-inflammatoryTaxon, E. rectale, are possibly associated with a peripheral inflammatory state in patients with cognitive impairment and brain amyloidosis.

TL;DR: The 4AT is a sensitive and specific method of screening for delirium in hospitalised older people and its brevity and simplicity support its use in routine clinical practice.

TL;DR: Some indicators imply a less than optimal quality of care (restraints, pressure sores, psychoactive drugs, and the lack of documentation of shared decision-making) and suggest that far advanced demented patients are not fully perceived as "terminal."

TL;DR: This study suggests the effectiveness of MT approach with working cycles in reducing behavioural disorders of severely demented patients with severe dementia to be more effective than standard care to reduce behavioural disorders.

TL;DR: DSD is a strong predictor of functional dependence, institutionalization, and mortality in older patients admitted to a rehabilitation setting, suggesting that strategies to detect DSD routinely in practice should be developed and DSD should be included in prognostic models of health care.
