Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients

347
Elderly individuals encompass a diverse population with varying degrees of age-related physiological changes. Defining the elderly presents challenges, as the geriatric population is often arbitrarily categorized as individuals older than 65. However, many individuals in this group lead active and healthy lives, with an increasing number surpassing 85 years and falling into the older elderly category. Physiological changes associated with aging impact performance capacity and homeostatic...

Peripheral Arterial Disease II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Evaluation

659
Clinical manifestationsPeripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) manifests through a range of symptoms, from the characteristic intermittent claudication to atypical presentations and severe complications in advanced stages. Intermittent claudication, a hallmark symptom of PAD, presents as exercise-induced muscle pain that typically resolves within minutes of rest. This pain is reproducible and stems from inadequate blood flow, leading to the accumulation of lactic acid produced during anaerobic...

 The nursing management of a patient with peripheral artery disease (PAD) begins with a thorough assessment of the patient’s health history and clinical manifestations.AssessmentHealth History: Evaluate the patient’s history of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, family history of cardiovascular issues, and lifestyle factors such as dietary patterns, smoking, and physical activity.Physical Examination:Assess the affected extremity for decreased or absent peripheral pulses,...

Pharmacokinetics in Geriatric Patients: Effect of Age on Drug Excretion

316
In geriatric patients, renal physiology undergoes significant changes, including diminished renal blood flow and a lower glomerular filtration rate (GFR), leading to alterations in medication clearance. Drugs such as aminoglycoside antibiotics, lithium, and digoxin, which rely on glomerular filtration for removal from the body, particularly impact pharmacokinetics. These drugs tend to have slower clearance rates in older adults, necessitating careful dosage considerations.Evaluation of renal...

Area of Science:

  • Geriatric Medicine
  • Biomechanics
  • Podiatry

Background:

  • Foot pathologies affect nearly 80% of elderly patients.
  • Inappropriate footwear is a major contributing factor to these conditions.
  • Ill-fitting shoes can negatively impact plantar pressure and balance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the link between footwear and geriatric foot pathologies.
  • To promote preventative measures against footwear-related foot problems.
  • To highlight the benefits of specific footwear types for balance and gait.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review on footwear characteristics and their effect on foot health.
  • Analysis of studies linking footwear to plantar pressure distribution.
  • Examination of footwear designs promoting stability and comfort.

Main Results:

  • Wider toe boxes and sneakers evenly distribute plantar pressure.
  • Appropriate footwear enhances comfort, balance, and gait.
  • Properly fitted shoes stabilize the foot, reducing injury risk.

Conclusions:

  • Footwear choice significantly impacts foot health and fall prevention in the elderly.
  • Wider, higher toe box shoes and sneakers are recommended for better support.
  • Using appropriate footwear can improve quality of life by reducing injury risk.
