Aging and the ICU
Based on an earlier study finding that older adults who survive sepsis are likely to develop new functional and cognitive deficits after they leave the hospital, in this GeriPal podcast (46:44 minutes), Lauren Ferrante and Julien Cobert discuss their own research and the idea that for critically ill patients in the ICU, geriatric conditions like disability, frailty, multimorbidity, and dementia should be viewed through a wider lens of what patients are like before and after the ICU event.

Hearing Loss in Geriatrics and Palliative Care
Age-related hearing loss affects about 2/3rd of adults over age 70 years and that self-reported hearing loss increases during the last years of life. Screening for addressing hearing loss should be an integral part of what we do in geriatrics and palliative care, but it often is either a passing thought or completely ignored. In this GeriPal podcast (49:37 minutes), Nick Reed and Megan Wallhagen discuss hearing loss in geriatrics and palliative care.
Who Should Get Palliative Care?
In this GeriPal podcast (45:18 minutes) Kate Courtright, a critical care and palliative care physician-researcher who conducts trials of palliative care, is interviewed. Kate discusses how despite how far we've come in palliative care research, we still do not have answers to some fundamental questions, such as: (1) who should get specialized palliative care? Should eligibility and access be determined by clinician referral? By diagnosis? By prognosis?
Elder Sexual Assault Technical Assistance Manual
Recognizing that the unique needs of senior victims of sexual violence are not being met, the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Rape (PCAR) and the Pennsylvania Department of Aging partnered to administer a grant from the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency to create an organized statewide approach to addressing elder sexual abuse. The overall goal of this project is to insure an appropriate response to sexual abuse that will not further traumatize the elder victim, but aid in his or her healing from the profound emotional and physical injury resulting from the sexual violence.
