ABSTRACT

n 2015, several studies about hypertension and TAVI emphasize the importance of individualizing treatment goals in very old or vulnerable patients. The anti-pneumococcal conjugate vaccine has demonstrated its effectiveness in community-acquired pneumonia and the arsenal against shingles is extended by a subunit vaccine. A clinical trial confirms the ineffectiveness of testosterone supplementation in arteriosclerotic disease but not its safety. Regarding dementia, a rigorous study shows that a multimodal approach can reduce the risk of cognitive decline. The value of imaging technologies using Tau protein radiotracers is confirmed for monitoring the evolution of Alzheimer's disease and the latest studies about anti-amyloid vaccines finally demonstrate encouraging results.
