Drug Therapy01:28

Drug Therapy

391
The advent of drug therapy has profoundly shaped modern mental health care, providing targeted treatments for a range of psychological disorders. Psychotherapeutic drugs, classified into antianxiety, antidepressant, and antipsychotic medications, address symptoms across anxiety disorders, mood disorders, and schizophrenia. While these medications have transformed patient outcomes, they require careful management due to their potential side effects and limitations.

Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients01:15

Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients

345
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...

Cognitive Enhancers: Cholinesterase Inhibitors and NMDA Receptor Antagonists01:30

Cognitive Enhancers: Cholinesterase Inhibitors and NMDA Receptor Antagonists

813
Cognitive enhancers, also known as "smart drugs," are substances used to enhance memory, mental alertness, and concentration. These can be natural or synthetic and improve cognition in conditions like Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other neurodegenerative diseases. Some common examples include caffeine, amphetamines, methylphenidate, modafinil, arecoline, donepezil, vortioxetine, and piracetam. These enhancers work on the principle of synaptic plasticity and altered circuit function.

Pharmaceutical Poisoning: Potential Scenarios01:26

Pharmaceutical Poisoning: Potential Scenarios

74
Pharmaceutical poisoning can occur through various channels, impacting an estimated 2 million hospitalized patients in the U.S. annually with serious adverse drug responses. These scenarios encompass both therapeutic uses, such as drug toxicity, where even standard dosages can lead to severe central nervous system depression, and non-therapeutic exposures, including accidental ingestion by children, and environmental and occupational exposures.Unintentional poisonings often involve exploratory...

Psychosis: Goals of Pharmacotherapy

660
Antipsychotic drugs are a crucial treatment method for acute and chronic psychoses, bipolar illness, and behavioral disorders. The selection of these drugs depends on several factors, including the state of the disease, clinical judgment, possible drug interactions, and the patient's sensitivity to adverse effects. In immediate scenarios, such as delirium and dementia, short-term treatment with low doses of high-potency typical or atypical agents can effectively manage symptom exacerbation.

Chunking and Rehearsal in Sensory Memory01:22

Chunking and Rehearsal in Sensory Memory

716
Improving short-term memory can be achieved through techniques like chunking and rehearsal. Chunking involves organizing information into larger, more manageable units. This technique is particularly useful for information that exceeds the typical memory span of between five and nine items. For instance, logging into an online account with a password like "ta89vq0179gz" involves grouping letters and numbers into three chunks—ta89, vq01, and 79gz. It makes large amounts of...

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Clinical Pharmacy

Background:

  • Adherence to antihypertensive medications is crucial for managing hypertension in older adults.
  • Cognitive aging affects executive function and working memory, potentially impacting medication adherence.
  • Prospective memory interventions aim to leverage cognitive processes to improve adherence.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate a multifaceted prospective memory intervention for improving antihypertensive medication adherence in older adults.
  • To determine if executive function and working memory moderate the intervention's effects on adherence.

Main Methods:

  • A two-group longitudinal randomized controlled trial was conducted in a community setting.
  • Participants aged 65+ with suboptimal adherence (≤90%) were enrolled after an initial monitoring period.
  • The intervention group received strategies to enhance prospective memory for medication taking.

Main Results:

  • The intervention group showed significant adherence improvement (57% to 78%), but gains diminished over 5 months.
  • The control group's adherence remained stable during the intervention but declined post-intervention.
  • Lower executive function and working memory were associated with greater intervention benefits.

Conclusions:

  • The prospective memory intervention effectively improved short-term medication adherence in older adults.
  • The positive effects on adherence were not sustained long-term, necessitating further research.
  • Cognitive capacity influences the effectiveness of prospective memory interventions for medication adherence.
