Potentially inappropriate medications for geriatric patients in Bahrain: prevalence, predictors, and implications for practice
CONCLUSION: This study highlights the significant burden of PIM use among older adult patients in Bahrain, with more than half of the participants receiving at least one PIM. These findings underscore the urgent need for targeted interventions, particularly among female patients, those with chronic conditions such as diabetes mellitus, and patients taking five or more medications. These insights contribute to the broader understanding of geriatric pharmacotherapy and offer a foundation for...
Telomere Position Effect-Over Long Distances Acts as a Genome-Wide Epigenetic Regulator Through a Common Alu Element
Among epigenetic modifiers, telomeres represent attractive modulators of the genome in part through position effects. Telomere Position Effect-Over Long Distances (TPE-OLD) modulates gene expression by changes in telomere-dependent long-distance loops. To gain insights into the molecular mechanisms of TPE-OLD, we performed a genome-wide transcriptome and methylome analysis in proliferative fibroblasts and myoblasts or differentiated myotubes with controlled telomere lengths. By integrating omics...
