This week, Dr Kat Ralston takes a fresh look at the geriatric giants with Dr Clare Bostock. They explore frailty syndromes using the “5M's” approach (matters most, mind, mobility, medications, and multi-complexity) and discuss the importance of a detective mindset to make the diagnosis. They share practical tips on the assessment and management of patients with frailty at the front door. Clare Bostock is a consultant geriatrician at NHS Grampian. Her areas of special interest include acute assessment, polypharmacy, falls, and quality improvement. She works in the geriatric assessment unit at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary. The geriatric medicine team at ARI started daily reviews of older people with frailty in the Acute Medical Admissions area in July 2022. She spent nearly 3 years working in the hospital at home team alongside acute work at ARI, and now works in ARI and at an intermediate care facility at Rosewell House. Dr Kat Ralston is a Geriatric Medicine Registrar and member of the RCPE Trainees and Members' Committee, currently working in Edinburgh. --Useful Links-- Managing multiple medicines- https://rightdecisions.scot.nhs.uk/polypharmacy-guidance/ British Geriatrics Society Frailty module - https://www.bgs.org.uk/elearning/2023-frailty-identification-and-interventions Clinical Frailty Scale - https://www.bgs.org.uk/sites/default/files/content/attachment/2018-07-05/rockwood_cfs.pdf Think Delirium Toolkit-https://learn.nes.nhs.scot/2442/rrheal/education-networks/rural-teams-education-network/think-delirium-improving-the-care-for-older-people-delirium-toolkit The Geriatric 5M's - https://agsjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jgs.14979 Silver Book II – Geriatric Syndromes (British Geriatrics Society) - https://www.bgs.org.uk/resources/silver-book-ii-geriatric-syndromes ACB Calculator - https://www.acbcalc.com/ Managing Multiple Medicines: Anticholinergics Recommendations - https://rightdecisions.scot.nhs.uk/polypharmacy-guidance/hot-topics/anticholinergics/ Top Tips for Clinical Frailty Scale - https://www.dal.ca/sites/gmr/our-tools/clinical-frailty-scale/cfs-guidance.html -- Follow us -- https://www.instagram.com/rcpedintrainees https://twitter.com/RCPEdinTrainees -- Upcoming RCPE Events -- https://events.rcpe.ac.uk/ Feedback: cme@rcpe.ac.uk

Mike Elder interviews John Greensmyth, a ‘cancer veteran', reflects with his wife, Alison, on the brain freeze that can happen during consultations with medical staff and explores the amazing contribution made to the development of MRI scanners by an Aberdeen University research team. Among the points of interest covered in this episode are the following: Erica Banks, Communications Lead for Friends of ANCHOR, provides an update on news and events, beginning by talking about the https://www.friendsofanchor.org/index.php/news/event-will-show-how-money-has-been-spent (‘Supporter Thank You') event on Friday 7 October.  In addition, Erica draws attention to various fundraising events that are happening during October, including the https://www.aberdeencity.gov.uk/events/dance-proms-2022 (Aberdeen Dance Proms) that are taking place on Wednesday 5 and Thursday 6 October. [00:59] Mike interviews John Greensmyth, who recently took part in Brave, a fashion show featuring men from the local area who have had to deal with a cancer or haematology diagnosis. John talks about living with cancer for over thirty years and how that ‘roller coaster' ride has affected him and his family.

Where is the best place to have a heart attack? In the middle of the North Sea at 1 am might not seem ideal, but it turns out if you pick the right boat to be on, you might just be ok – and get back to flirting with nurses in the Aberdeen Royal Infirmary.  Something else in need of resuscitation are employments prospects. The UK sector has recorded a number of job losses over the last 12 months, with Shell's recent announcement adding another 330 to the toll. A pivot to new energies may be one way to add jobs but the government's transition deal remains elusive.  Africa would also benefit from more focus on energy transition. For now, the continent seems locked in to a path of carbon dependency. While some talk about leapfrogging, the emphasis in Africa is on securing power generation – from any source available.  Energy Voice helps organisations understand the geopolitical, economic and financial factors that underpin market events, and give you a view on what's coming over the horizon. As a listener to this podcast, you can get a free trial of energyvoice.com, giving you two weeks of unrestricted access to the latest crucial news and insight.

The latest episode of Lung Cancer Considered focuses on the IASLC Pathology Committee's creation of the Immunohistochemistry (IHC) Atlas. This episode features a conversation between host Dr. Sanja Dacic, a professor in the department of pathology at the University of Pittsburg Medical Center in Pennsylvania; Dr. Keith Kerr, professor of pulmonary pathology at Aberdeen University Medical School and a consultant pathologist at the Aberdeen Royal Infirmary in Scotland; and Dr. Yasushi Yatabe, chief of the department of diagnostic pathology at the National Cancer Center in Toyko, Japan.

In this episode we conclude our two part special with Paul from FAC. We have also included a small segment about the initiatives Hamper Drive for our NHS. The NHS Hamper Drive started as a local appeal between friends to offer NHS staff a small token of gratitude for their amazing efforts. Through the hard work of those who launched the appeal - and the generosity of those who responded - the project developed to the scale of delivering hampers to hospitals from Glasgow to Aberdeen. In just a couple of weeks, Glasgow Royal Infirmary, QEU Hospital, University Hospital Hairmyres, Inverclyde Royal Hospital and Aberdeen Royal Infirmary have received hampers. As the coronavirus situation worsens, and the NHS becomes increasingly stretched, we aim to increase the number of hampers being delivered and reach as many Scottish hospitals as possible to ensure that those on the front line know that they have our support and appreciation. To help achieve this, we are now taking donations via PayPal to greenbrigade@hotmail.co.uk (please add note NHS) should anyone wish to contribute. Beyond this, should you have access to items or foodstuffs which you would like to donate or have useful hospital contacts then please get in touch via northcurveceltic@gmail.com. Hampers are being made with the utmost regard for hygiene and safety. The items included are those that NHS staff have told us they desire most, as well as adding some luxuries. All items, including baskets, are being disinfected and the person creating the hamper is taking necessary personal precautions with PPE. Items are purchased in line with Govt. advice re. restrictions and distribution is arranged with NHS staff at the respective hospitals. Thank you NHS

Researchers have found that doing Sudoku and crossword puzzles does not prevent dementia. There had been a long-standing belief that doing mental activities will protect people from mental dementia. This belief was supported by a study published in 2003. The study related a lower risk in dementia to doing mentally stimulating activities like reading and playing board games.  This correlation led to the belief that puzzles such as Sudoku and crosswords can prevent dementia. However, a recent study found that this is not the case. Recently published in the British Medical Journal, the study was headed by Dr. Roger Staff at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary and the University of Aberdeen. The research examined 498 people born in 1936 who participated in a group intelligence test at 11 years old. For the current study, the participants were already 64 years old, and their mental abilities were assessed up to five times over a 15-year period. Results showed that despite doing mental activities, the study's participants still showed signs of gradual mental decline as they grew older. Although doing mental activities does not stop dementia, it does improve one's mental abilities. According to the researchers, taking on challenging tasks like puzzles creates additional links among brain cells. These additional links support the brain and keep it functioning well even as some connections decline due to old age. Thus, while mental decline cannot be completely averted, it would take more time for people who regularly do mental exercises to experience a decline in their brain functions, such as memory and IQ.

In the wake of the American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma suggesting patient outcome is the same for Level I and Level II trauma centers, I believe a timely message is report by Dr. Jan Jansen from the Aberdeen Royal Infirmary and colleagues throughout Scotland who describe their comprehensive geospatial analysis of greater than 80,000 trauma patients over a year. Dr. Samuel Ross and associates from the Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte, provide insight into the impact of normal saline versus Ringer’s lactate on resuscitation endpoints for hemorrhagic shock. Another interesting resuscitation paper was by Dr. Martin Ponschab et al from the Trauma Research Center in Salzburg. Dr. Elizabeth Benjamin and colleagues from the LA County Medical Center, investigate the risk of deep organ space infection after emergent bowel resection and anastomosis. The second paper is by Dr. Daniel Yeh et al from the Massachusetts General Hospital who focus on the clinical implications of gangrenous cholecystitis. Transcript
