 Background: Postural instability is a concern in several neurologic conditions and also among the elderly. Dysfunction in serotonergic, noradrenergic, and dopaminergic pathways may be involved in the etiology of postural imbalance. Objective: The objective of this case report was to quantify, using computerized posturography, substitution with venlafaxine, and later levodopa, in a suspected case of postural instability with paroxetine. Case Summary: Presented is an 86-year-old woman with frequent falls and a Parkinson-like syndrome of the lower limbs secondary to microvascular dementia. Paroxetine was gradually discontinued and exchanged for venlafaxine, 37.5 mg twice daily. Before and after medication changes, static posturography was performed under eyes open…

 Background: Hip fractures are important because they are associated with an increased rate of death, substantial morbidity, enormous costs, and devastating effects on independence and quality of life. Bisphosphonates have proven efficacy in reducing the incidence of spine and nonspine fractures. Several case series and multiple individual case reports from around the world suggest that some subtrochanteric fractures and those of the femoral shaft might occur in patients who have been treated with long-term bisphosphonate therapy. Case Summary: We present a case in the United Kingdom, where a patient presented with bilateral, sequential bisphosphonate-related subtrochanteric fractures. Several unique clinical and radiographic features surrounding…

 Objective: This paper reviews articles from 2010 that examined medication mishaps (ie, medication errors and adverse drug events [ADEs]) in the elderly. Methods: The MEDLINE and EMBASE databases were searched for English-language articles published in 2010 using a combination of search terms including medication errors, medication adherence, medication compliance, suboptimal prescribing, monitoring, adverse drug events, adverse drug withdrawal events, therapeutic failures, and aged. A manual search of the reference lists of the identified articles and the authors’ article files, book chapters, and recent reviews was conducted to identify additional publications. Five studies of note were selected for annotation and critique. From the literature…

 Background: Medication nonadherence is a common problem among the elderly. Objective: To conduct a systematic review of the published literature describing potential nonfinancial barriers to medication adherence among the elderly. Methods: The PubMed and PsychINFO databases were searched for articles published in English between January 1998 and January 2010 that (1) described “predictors,” “facilitators,” or “determinants” of medication adherence or that (2) examined the “relationship” between a specific barrier and adherence for elderly patients (ie, ≥65 years of age) in the United States. A manual search of the reference lists of identified articles and the authors’ files and recent review articles was conducted. The search…
