How cognitive impairment affects adverse events in older patients

Hospitals can be dangerous places for older adults. Cognitive impairment appears to change where the danger emanates from, but not the danger itself. Yet another example of why an understanding of the #geriatrics approach to care matters! #PALTC Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Medical Association (PALTmed)

Highlights from the Dallas Consensus: Key Takeaways The Dallas Consensus recently outlined standardized approaches for FLIP panometry interpretation in esophageal motility disorders. A few key agreements stood out: --A major motor disorder is unlikely if FLIP panometry is normal (94% agreement). --Diminished or absent contractile response, along with reduced esophageal opening, supports the possibility of outflow obstruction (94% agreement). --FLIP findings should always be integrated with other diagnostic tests and clinical presentation (100% agreement). Consensus documents like this don’t just shape practice; they create a shared language between physicians, researchers, and industry partners who all want to improve patient care. #DallasConsensus #EsophagealDiagnostics #MedicalTechnology #PatientsFirst #MedtronicEmployee

From First Scan to Care Plan. It starts at the initial exam—not as a reactive visit, but a journey to reprogram the nervous system. Run a full INSiGHT neuroTECH scan and show their Initial CORESCORE—a neurological report card they can track over time. Patients forget how they function. The CORESCORE reframes progress and builds trust. Now you’re not saying “come back when it hurts”—you’re leading a plan for long-term nervous system health. #chiropractic #chiropracticcare #NervousSystemHealth #chiropracticlifestyle #healingfromwithin #healthyliving
