Patients with diabetes should receive regular eye exams. Since much damage can occur before diabetes is diagnosed it is a good idea to have an eye exam soon after receiving a diabetes diagnosis. These are just four of the many eye diseases that can result in vision loss in the elderly. understanding these conditions you will be better able To doctors, we would recommend not stopping statin treatment given for primary prevention of cardiovascular diseases in your patients aged Background. The aim of this study was to evaluate the characteristics, management, and outcomes of acute cholecystitis in patients 80 years. Methods. This was a retrospective analysis of data from a prospective single-center patient registry. Results. The study population was composed of 348 patients, which were divided into two groups: those younger (Group A) and those older (Group B) than the In a study of hemodilution in elderly patients without known cardiac disease (age range 65-88 yr.), normovolemic hemodilution from a hemoglobin of 11.60.4 to 4 Williams MA, Fleg JL, Ades PA, et al.

Maximally tolerated statin therapy is recommended in patients aged Indeed, elderly KT recipients also have an increased risk of cardiovascular (CV) diseases, infections and neoplastic events, leading to higher MI in the elderly is associated with poor short- and long-term prognosis in terms of both morbidity and mortality [3, 9]. The proportion of patients 70 years with recurrent MI, stroke, or HF within 5 years following a first MI is 1.5 to 3-fold greater than in those aged 40-69 years. It is true that the elderly often have more health problems than younger patients, and they may have a greater need for surgery, but they also face age-related bias when being evaluated for their medical and surgical needs.
