Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients01:15

Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients

278
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...

Pharmacodynamics in Geriatric Patients: Effects of Age

241
Age-related pharmacokinetic changes are extensively documented, but understanding age-related pharmacodynamic alterations is relatively limited. This knowledge gap can be partly attributed to the complexity of developing appropriate measures of drug responses compared to bioanalytical methods for determining drug concentrations.Most information regarding age-related differences in human pharmacodynamics originates from cross-sectional studies. However, these studies assume that observed mean...

Basicity of Aliphatic Amines01:21

Basicity of Aliphatic Amines

6.9K
Amines can behave as Brønsted–Lowry bases by accepting a proton from the acid to form corresponding conjugate acids. Due to a lone pair of nonbonding electrons, aliphatic amines can also act as Lewis bases by forming a covalent bond with an electrophile.
To measure the basicity of amines, two conventions are generally used. The first defines Kb as the basicity constant for the deprotonation reaction of water by the amine, as presented in Figure 1. Conventionally, lower Kb indicates higher...

Basic Operations on Signals01:22

Basic Operations on Signals

1.1K
Basic signal operations include time reversal, time scaling, time shifting, and amplitude transformations. These operations are fundamental in signal processing and analysis.
Time Reversal mirrors a continuous-time signal about the vertical axis at t=0. This is achieved by substituting t with −t. For example, if a signal x(t) is considered, the time-reversed signal is x(−t). This operation can be graphically represented, showing the mirrored signal.

Area of Science:

  • Geriatric Medicine
  • Neurology
  • Hospital Medicine

Background:

  • The global population is aging, increasing the prevalence of elderly patients in neurology services.
  • Neurohospitalists require specialized knowledge of geriatric medicine to effectively manage older patients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review common issues encountered by neurohospitalists caring for geriatric patients.
  • To highlight the importance of geriatric assessment, management strategies, and ethical considerations in neurohospital care.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review focusing on geriatric medicine principles and their application in neurology.
  • Synthesis of current evidence and best practices for managing elderly patients in a hospital setting.

Main Results:

  • Geriatric assessment is crucial for identifying complex needs in elderly neurology patients.
  • Key areas include managing geriatric syndromes, optimizing pharmacotherapy, and addressing delirium, pain, and palliative care.

Conclusions:

  • Integrating geriatric principles into neurohospitalist practice improves care for older adults.
  • Neurohospitalists must be proficient in geriatric assessment, pharmacotherapy, and managing age-related conditions and ethical dilemmas.
