Hot off the press! Read about our multidisciplinary evaluative process called Bioethics Peer Review for Long-Term Care Design- grounded in clinical ethics consultation and aligned with the 5M geriatric framework. @BillHercules @DavidDeemerMD @StoweTeti url-shortener.me/CP64

Nonpharmacological Pain Management for People With Dementia: A Scoping Review Mapping Research Gaps From a Pragmatic Lens. #geriatrics agsjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jg…

We will be joined by @dochitect (ACHA-American College of Healthcare Architects), Molly Chan (@NSDA_Architects ), and the Daniels Faculty's Stephen Verderber for the lecture titled, "Designing for Older Persons in a Transforming World."

Two weeks into our new Inpatient Geriatric Consult Service and I recommended discontinuing gabapentin so many times I decided to make an auto text for it (with references of course). #geriatrics

The evidence that higher aerobic fitness levels are associated with lower rates of dementia is clear! If cognitive impairment is what you fear. Move. Move. Move.

Don't forget about the power of storytelling when talking about your change initiative. A well-crafted narrative can inspire, motivate, and engage the people implementing or being impacted by the change. How do you help others connect with the "why" behind your change initiative?

Current projections estimate 153 million people will be living with dementia by 2050. Nearly half of dementia cases could be prevented or delayed by tackling 14 risk factors starting in childhood, suggests new report from a standing Lancet Commission: buff.ly/46nvoPR

@AshleyGWinter @CaseySeidemanMD Not easy at all! I could not find a way

@CaseySeidemanMD Pretty sure Canada.

🤔where can US trained accredited physicians practice outside of the US?

“The first line antidepressant for older people is companionship”

@UCSFGeriatrics @LWalterMD @UCSF Wonderful! Good idea to consider performance evaluations once bldg open and used for a period of time to ensure design goals are met especially when considering impact on health outcomes.

Dr. Louise Walter (@LWalterMD) joined the @UCSF New Hospital Groundbreaking on 4/25/24. The hospital aims to be age-friendly and minimize hazards for older patients. It's the large white building on the left in the photos. #ucsf #agefriendly #geriatrics

@AlannaChurch_MD Love this!

Happy lab week! 🧬 🍪 #molpath #PathTwitter (please no shade for my marginal baking skills 🙃)

Dr. @LouiseAronson published a gripping essay in the @NEJM about her mother's should-have-been death experience. Read here: nejm.org/doi/full/10.10… #geriatrics #hpm

Superb and infuriating piece by @UCSF colleague (& great writer) @LouiseAronson about how her mom's clear, documented wish to avoid aggressive care at the end of life was ignored by a medical team locked into a we-did-this-so-we-must-do-that spiral. @NEJM nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

@EWidera These were lifesavers! Especially for Shakespeare :).

Back in my day we didn’t have AI to complete school essays on books we didn’t read. Rather, we had to read these books to avoid reading even bigger books (found these in my old room in my parents house)

“What we’re building touches thousands of lives over many years," says @BUMedicine's @dochitect, doctor & architect. Diana Anderson studies healthcare facilities, & emphasizes the potential that these built spaces have for patient care & recovery. Read ➡️ spr.ly/6006kTcR4
