74, 95% CI 1.07-2.84, p = 0.001). Regarding psychotropic medicines, 208 patients (56.98%) received at least one psychotropic medicine during hospitalization. A total of 26.30% of patients were treated with psychotropic medicines, detected by the PRISCUS list, and 53.97% and 29.85% with STOPP and Beers, respectively.

Explicit criteria are a useful tool for identifying during hospitalization of the elderly patients. As indicated by the results, new research is needed to carry out an adaptation in our country that includes an evaluation of the strengths of the three tools to decrease PIMs and improve prescription in the elderly.

This study hypothesized that drugs accumulate in the bloodstream of poor-metabolizing patients and may have more adverse effects and different pain perceptions and aimed to investigate the influence of CYP450 polymorphisms on acute postoperative pain, swelling, and trismus controlled by ibuprofen (600mg) in 200 volunteers after dental extraction. In addition, surgical outcomes can determine pain, edema, and trismus and indicate inflammatory reactions after oral surgeries.

Genetic sequencing was performed to identify CYP450 polymorphisms and the surgical parameters evaluated pre and postoperative swelling, trismus, and temperature; self-reported postoperative pain with visual analog scale (VAS); rescue medication consumed; and severity of adverse reactions.

A multiple linear regression model with independent variables [single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), BMI (body mass index), duration, and difficulty of surgery] and dependent variables [postoperative pain by sum of pain intensity difference (SPID), ClinicalTrials.gov ID (NCT03169127), on March 16th, 2017.Bus transport has been an important mode taking up a significant share of urban travel demand and thus the corresponding impacts on the environment are of great concerns. Use of driving cycles to evaluate the environmental impacts of buses has attracted much attention in recent years worldwide. The franchised bus service is currently playing important roles in the public transport system in Hong Kong; however, there is no driving cycle developed specifically for them. A set of bus driving cycle was therefore developed using a bottom-up approach where driving data on the bus network with mixed characteristics were collected. Using the Ward's method for clustering, the collected data were then categorized into three clusters representing distinct franchised bus route patterns in Hong Kong. Driving cycles were then developed for each route pattern including (i) congested urban routes with closely spaced bus stops and traffic junctions; (ii) inter-district routes containing a number of stop-and-go activities and a significant portion of smoother high speed driving; and (iii) early morning express routes and mid-night routes connecting remote residential areas and urban areas. These cycles highlighted the unique low-speed and aggressive driving characteristics of bus transport in Hong Kong with frequent stop-and-go activities. The findings from this study would definitely be helpful in assessing the exhaust emissions, fuel consumptions as well as energy consumptions of bus transport. The bottom-up clustering approach adopted in this study would also be useful in identifying specific driving patterns based on vehicle speed trip data with mixed driving characteristics. It is believed that this approach is especially suitable for assessing fixed route public transport modes with mixed driving characteristics.Lawns and flower are major aesthetical and environmental elements of the urban ecosystem. However, harsh urban conditions such as pollution by heavy metals are unfavorable for plants. For example, copper is toxic for ornamental plants, limiting the spread of lawn grass and flowering plants. U73122 Phospholipase (e.g. PLA) inhibitor Therefore, here we hypothesized that plants could be adapted to urban conditions by breeding. We first showed the possibility of using environmental biotechnology in urban greening to obtain, tolerating copper flowering plants and lawn grasses. We tested the adaptation of creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.) and painted daisy (Chrysanthemum carinatum Schousb.) to сopper. We measured Cu resistance in the next generations of those plant species. Results show that some next generations of plant regenerants have increased resistance up to 100 mg/kg Cu for Agrostis stolonifera, and up to 30 mg/kg for Chrysanthemum carinatum. Our findings thus imply that city plants may be adapted and improved by сell selection. Our approach thus represents a novel biotechnology consisting of adapting plants to pollution by сell selection.During its aquatic life cycle, nanosized titanium dioxide (nTiO2) may interact with natural organic matter (NOM) ultimately altering the ecotoxicity of co-occurring chemical stressors such as heavy metals (e.g. copper (Cu)). In this context, the following hypotheses were tested (1) aging of nTiO2 along with Cu reduces Cu toxicity, (2) nTiO2 agglomerates have a lower potential to reduce Cu toxicity and (3) aging of nTiO2 in presence of NOM reduces Cu toxicity further. A multifactorial test design crossing three nTiO2 levels (0.0, 0.6 and 3.0 mg/L) with two levels of NOM (0 versus 8 mg total organic carbon (TOC)/L) and seven nominal Cu concentrations (ranging from 0 to 1536 μg/L) aged in ASTM medium for 0, 1, 3 and 6 days was realised, while two aging scenarios were applied (type 1 nTiO2 jointly aged with Cu; type 2 Cu added after nTiO2 aging). Subsequently, Cu toxicity was assessed using the immobility of Daphnia magna after 48 h of exposure as response variable. The experiments revealed that neither aging duration nor the extent of agglomeration (type 1 vs. type 2 aging) has a substantial impact on Cu induced toxicity. Moreover, it was confirmed that the presence of NOM substantially reduced Cu induced toxicity, independent of the aging scenario and duration. More importantly, the data suggest the ingestion of Cu loaded nTiO2 as additional exposure pathway contributing to Cu toxicity. In conclusion, it seems unlikely that nTiO2 concentrations currently detected in or predicted for aquatic ecosystems, which are at least one order of magnitude below the concentration tested here, influence Cu toxicity meaningfully.
