OBJECTIVES To estimate the prevalence and determinants of the use of potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs) in older U.S. adults using the 2012 Beers criteria. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study in a random national sample of Medicare beneficiaries. SETTING Fee-for-service Medicare beneficiaries from 2007 to 2012. PARTICIPANTS U.S. population aged 65 and older with Parts A, B, and D ...

Forest volume growth between two measurements is often decomposed into the components of survivor growth (S), ingrowth (Z), mortality (M), and cut (C) (for example, Beers 1962 or Van Deusen et al. 1986). Net change between volumes at times 1 and 2 (V, V,) is then represented by the equation

Lager-brewing yeasts are mainly used for the production of lager beers. Illumina and PacBio-based sequence analyses revealed an approximate genome size of 22.8 Mb, with a GC content of 38.98%, for the Chinese lager-brewing yeast Saccharomyces sp. strain M14. Based on ab initio prediction, 9,970 coding genes were annotated.

The interest in new beer products, which has been growing for several years, forces technologists and brewers to look innovative raw materials, such as hops, sources of carbohydrates or yeast. aim the presented study was evaluate effect selected Saccharomyces (Saccharomyces paradoxus (CBS 7302), S. kudriavzevii 3774), cerevisiae (Safbrew T-58)) non-Saccharomyces yeast (W. anomalus 5759), Ha. uv...

Abstract The aim of the paper was to determine potential using grape pulp, marc and must in beer production process. Samples were fermented non- Saccharomyces yeasts ( Dekkera bruxellensis 3429, Metschnikowia pulcherrima MG970690) cerevisiae Safale US-05 used as a control. Grape obtained by pressing with press. Subsequently, marc, pulp pasteurized and, together wort, volumetrically introduced i...

Methods: We defined PIRx using the combined version of the Beers criteria. Data were from the 1996 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey Nursing Home Component. The study sample included 3372 residents, 65 years and older, who had nursing home stays of 3 consecutive months or longer in 1996. We performed multivariate logistic regression analyses of longitudinal data using generalized estimating equa...

Dear Editor, We read the recently published article by Lucchetti et al.1 and we have an important comment to make on this study. The objective was to assess the drugs in the Farmácia Dose Certa (“Right Dose Pharmacy”) program that were considered to be inappropriate for the elderly. The authors used the criteria developed by Beers and updated by Fick in 2003 to assess the appropriateness of dru...

AIM To compare the risk of unplanned hospitalization in high-care nursing home residents taking Beers potentially inappropriate medications (PIM) against that of other elderly. METHODS Using an enhanced case-time-control design and conditional logistic regression applied to the pharmaceutical claims and other linked data of 245436 Western Australians aged ≥ 65 years (1993-2005), the study der...
