What do we know about patient targeting in geriatric evaluation and management (GEM) programs?

Aging : Clinical and Experimental Research
D Wieland, L Z Rubenstein

Abstract

Evidence indicates that institution-based programs for interdisciplinary geriatric evaluation and management (GEMs) improve outcomes of care, but results vary considerably between studies. Targeting (i.e., selective admission of frail elderly patient subgroups who are thought particularly to benefit) has been advocated as a means to improve the cost-effectiveness of GEM programs, and results from meta-analysis give this concept some support. Our review has several objectives: 1) describing approaches to GEM targeting and development of selection criteria; 2) assessing evidence from randomized trials concerning effects of targeting on outcome; and 3) suggesting an agenda for further research and development on GEM targeting.

Cajal Bodies & Gems

Cajal bodies or coiled bodies are dense foci of coilin protein. Gemini of Cajal bodies, or gems, are microscopically similar to Cajal bodies. It is believed that Cajal bodies play important roles in RNA processing while gems assist the Cajal bodies. Find the latest research on Cajal bodies and gems here.
