Effectiveness of physiotherapy in elderly patients with dementia: a prospective, comparative analysis.
TL;DR: The level of cognitive functioning at the time of admission to a nursing home, but not the patient’s functional status, had a significant impact on physiotherapy efficacy, and regular physiotherapy can also improve functional status in patients with coexisting dementia.

TL;DR: Adjunctive gabapentin appears to be associated with a reduction in agitation in chronically hospitalized SPMI patients, and controlled, prospective trials are needed before any definitive conclusion can be drawn regarding the role of gabAPentin in the treatment of this group of patients.

TL;DR: It was concluded that both mechanisms, the slow biotransformation of diazepam as well the inhibition of the bile acid efflux that results in an accumulation of bile acids in the hepatocytes, seem to contribute to the liver injury observed in cats following repetitive treatment withdiazepam.
