The mounting evidence linking age-related hearing loss (ARHL) to cognitive decline and dementia represents a critical juncture for public health policy [1]. With emerging data suggesting that timely hearing interventions can reduce dementia incidence by approximately 32% and slow three-year cognitive decline by roughly 62%, we can no longer afford to view hearing loss as a benign consequence of aging....

Urosepsis in older adults presents diagnostic challenges due to age-related physiological changes and multimorbidity. Classical signs of infection such as fever, dysuria, or flank pain may be absent or muted in this population, delaying targeted management and potentially worsening outcomes. Frailty, altered immunity, and polypharmacy further complicate the clinical picture....

Arsenic exposure is a recognized cause of peripheral neuropathy; however, data regarding arsenic toxicity in geriatric populations-particularly among residents of personal care and long-term care facilities-remain sparse. We describe a 96-year-old female residing in a personal care facility who presented with progressive lower-extremity neuropathy and was found to have markedly elevated inorganic arsenic levels in blood and urine despite no identifiable shared environmental source....
