Abstract

Abstract : We present 10 of the most effective articles from 2016 in geriatric medicine. They address wide‐ranging topics including the use of antipsychotics for delirium in palliative care, fall prevention and mobility interventions, efficacy and potential risks of testosterone, cranberry capsules and their effect on bacteriuria and pyuria, beta‐blockers after acute myocardial infarction in a nursing home population, the effect of a healthy lifestyle on disability, a goals‐of‐care intervention in individuals with advanced dementia, the benefits of regional anesthesia in hip repair, and mindfulness in chronic pain management.
