Breaking down the reason for the fall
Treating the result of a tumble by an elderly person should be just the first step in treating a fall.
So says an article in our latest BIDA journal which argues that investigations into whether or not the patient was conscious at the time of the event, or if it was preceded by certain behaviours, could be indicators of serious disease.
Such reflections might reveal the likes of dementia or Parkinson's, meaning earlier intervention and better treatment.
Penned by Dr Anil Kumar, this is one of a plethora of pieces to both inform and update in our latest publication – which offers plenty of food for thought for medics.

Pyramid visit pinnacle of science conference
The full brochure for BIDA’s 17th International Conference has just been published.
And it promises to be a wonderfully colourful mix of serious debate and historical site seeing.
Amongst the activities planned is a visit to The Valley of the Kings and some time at the Giza Pyramids – built for the Pharoh Khufu, and dating back to 2600 B.C!
The science part of the programme will look at good practice from a myriad of countries, so that we can make good health a universal notion.
The pyramid shape has been used to illustrate good nutrition and light pyramids – or prisms – are also used in meditation and yoga.
