Abstract
PURPOSE Hip fracture is a public health problem worldwide. Traditional prognostic models do not include blood biomarkers, such as those obtained by proteomics. This study aimed to investigate the relationships between serum inflammatory biomarkers and frailty in older adults with hip fracture as well as adverse outcomes at one and three months after discharge. METHODS A total of 45 patients aged 75 or older who were admitted for hip fracture were recruited. At admission, a Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) was conducted, which included a frailty assessment using the Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS). Blood samples were collected before surgery. Participants were followed up at one and three months after discharge. The levels of 45 cytokines were analyzed using a high-throughput proteomic approach. Binary logistic regression was used to determine independent associations with outcomes, such as functional recovery, polypharmacy, hospital readmission, and mortality. RESULTS The results showed that IL-7 (OR 0.66 95% CI 0.46-0.94, p = 0.022) and CXCL-12 (OR 0.97 95% CI 0.95-0.99, p = 0.011) were associated with better functional recovery at three months after discharge, while CXCL-8 (OR 1.07 95% CI 1.01-1.14, p = 0.019) was associated with an increased risk of readmission. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that immunology biomarkers may represent useful predictors of clinical outcomes in hip fracture patients.

Abstract
Delirium is a transient neurocognitive disorder. Nonpharmacological measures can be efficient in reducing the incidence and intensity of delirium, but there is a paucity of evidence when using a physical exercise program exclusively. This was a secondary analysis of a randomised clinical trial that provided evidence on the functional and cognitive benefits of an individualised exercise intervention in hospitalised older adults. Of the 370 patients who participated in the trial, 17.1% in the intervention group had delirium and 12.1% in the control group. After the exercise intervention, 84.6% of the patients in the intervention group showed improvement in delirium compared to 68.4% of patients in the control group. Despite the fluctuating nature of delirium,we show that it is feasible to establish individualised exercise interventions in hospitalised geriatric patients in the periods when patients are able to cooperate. Baseline functional status, measured by the Barthel Index, is a clinical marker that could help to identify those who will benefit most.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The relevance of the immunosuppressive drug tacrolimus in the prevention of rejection and graft-versus-host disease in transplanted patients is beyond all doubt. However, tacrolimus often has neurotoxic effects, including severe conditions such as posterior reversible leukoencephalopathy syndrome. CASE REPORT A 75-year-old male who had undergone a kidney transplantation five years earlier, for which he was receiving treatment with tacrolimus and mycophenolate. He also had advanced Parkinson's disease, treated with several dopamine agonists. The patient visited the emergency department after a week-long history of visual hallucinations, delirium, expansive mood, confusion and headache. The focal psychogeriatric examination revealed psychosis secondary to dopaminergic agonists as the first diagnostic option, without excluding other possible iatrogenic causes despite the tacrolimus being within the therapeutic range (8.3 ng/mL). Both cranial computed tomography, which did not show any significant findings, and a magnetic resonance scan, in which a bilateral parietooccipital oedema was observed, were performed, this latter finding being compatible with posterior reversible leukoencephalopathy syndrome. While the patient was in hospital, tacrolimus was replaced by everolimus, and the dopaminergic medication was adjusted, resulting in a swift and full remission of the clinical signs and symptoms. CONCLUSIONS The diagnosis of posterior reversible leukoencephalopathy syndrome should be considered in patients with a history of organ transplantation treated with immunosuppressive drugs who have an acute onset condition with neurological or psychiatric symptoms.
