Editor's view.

The article presents summaries of several research on age, ageing, vascular disease, falls, cognition, frailty and pain. A randomized controlled trial evaluated a falls prevention bundle for hospitalised patients. Another study compared nebulised ketamine with intravenous morphine for moderate-to-severe acute musculoskeletal pain in emergency departments. Researchers examined outcomes for older patients with myocardial infarction using a prospective coronary reperfusion registry.
