Article Abstract
We aimed to determine the potential value of panel-based pharmacogenetic (PGx) testing in patients with chronic pain or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) who underwent single-gene PGx testing to guide opioid or proton pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy, respectively. Of 448 patients included (chronic pain, n = 337; GERD, n = 111), mean age was 57 years, 68% were female, and 73% were white. Excluding opiates for the pain cohort and PPIs for the GERD cohort, 76.6% of patients with pain and 71.2% with GERD were prescribed at least one additional medication with a high level of PGx evidence, most commonly ondansetron or selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. The most common genes that could inform PGx drug prescribing were CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP2C9, and SLCO1B1. Our findings suggest that patients with chronic pain or GERD are commonly prescribed drugs with a high level of evidence for a PGx-guided approach, supporting panel-based testing in these populations.

Factors associated with difficulty in accessing healthcare services among older adults: National Health Survey, 2019.

Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte. Natal RN Brasil.
The objective was to analyze the factors associated with difficulty in accessing healthcare services among older population. This is a cross-sectional, analytical study using data from the 2019 National Health Survey, conducted between 2019 and 2020 with a random sample of 22,728 older adults. The outcome was the difficulty in accessing healthcare services, measured by seeking services but not being attended to, or when services were not sought despite a need due to individual difficulties.

Background: Cardiovascular complications are the leading cause of mortality following liver transplantation (LT) in patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF). However, the extent of cardiac impairment in these patients remains unclear. Current risk models, including the CLIF-C-organ failure (CLIF-C-OF), NACSELD-ACLF, and the novel Sundaram ACLF-LT-mortality (SALT-M) scores primarily focus on blood pressure and the use of cardiovascular drugs, without directly assessing biomarkers of cardiac injury.

School of Public Health Sciences, University of Waterloo, Waterloo, Canada.
Purpose: Sleep disturbance is prevalent in long-term care facilities (LTCFs), yet there is limited understanding of individual factors predicting changes in sleep within these populations. Our objective was to determine predictors of sleep disturbance in LTCFs and investigate variation in prevalence across facilities in two Canadian provinces-New Brunswick and Saskatchewan.
Method: This retrospective longitudinal cohort study used interRAI comprehensive health assessment data from 2016 to 2021, encompassing 21,394 older adults aged ≥ 65 years across 228 LTCFs.
Neuropathic-like pain affects pain perception in patients with deep endometriosis: an observational study.

Faculty of Medicine, University of Lille, 59000, Lille, France.
Purpose: Endometriosis is a chronic, hormone-dependent disease affecting up to 10% of women of reproductive age, often associated with chronic pelvic pain (CPP). Neuropathic pain has been increasingly recognized as a significant component in a subset of patients with CPP related to endometriosis. The study objective was to assess the prevalence of neuropathic-like pain in women with deep endometriosis (DE) and CPP, and to analyze its influence on pain perception and quality of life.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of 16 weeks of functional versus dual-task training on aspects of pain in older women with chronic nonspecific low back pain.
Methods: This randomized clinical trial included 38 participants aged 60 to 79 years divided into 2 groups: functional training (FT) and dual-task training (DT). We assessed pressure pain threshold (PPT), temporal summation of pain, conditioned pain modulation (CPM), trunk instability, isometric strength, and endurance of trunk muscles before and 16 weeks after training.
