Beers-Criteria: Translation of the recent update
Abstract:
The Beers criteria are an important instrument to improve medication safety in geriatrics. In 2015, the American Geriatrics Society (AGS) updated the Beers criteria and extended the list regarding important aspects. Our translation into German aims to simplify the application in German health care and to improve medication safety. The list was adapted to the German health care market to ensure its suitability for daily clinical use. The updated Beers lists is extended regarding clinical relevant drug-drug interactions and advice for dose titration in patients with renal insufficiency. Thereby, we hope that the updated Beers criteria will help to optimize geriatric pharmacotherapy.

Translation
Translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from the genetic information carried by messenger RNA (mRNA). Following transcription, it constitutes the final step in the expression of genes. This process is carried out by ribosomes, complexes of protein and specialized RNA molecules. Ribosomes, transfer RNA (tRNA), and other proteins produce a chain of amino acids—the polypeptide—as the end product of translation.

Initiation of Translation
First, the initiator tRNA must be selected from the pool of elongator tRNAs by eukaryotic initiation factor 2 (eIF2). The initiator tRNA (Met-tRNAi) has conserved sequence elements including modified bases at...
