Conservation of Small Populations02:04

Conservation of Small Populations

17.4K
Small population sizes put a species at extreme risk of extinction due to a lack of variation, and a consequent decrease in adaptability. This weakens the chances of survival under pressures such as climate change, competition from other species, or new diseases. Large populations are more likely to survive pressures such as these, as such populations are more likely to harbor individuals that have genetic variants that are adaptive under new stresses. Small populations are much less...

What is Population Genetics?

65.0K
A population is composed of members of the same species that simultaneously live and interact in the same area. When individuals in a population breed, they pass down their genes to their offspring. Many of these genes are polymorphic, meaning that they occur in multiple variants. Such variations of a gene are referred to as alleles. The collective set of all the alleles within a population is known as the gene pool.

Population Growth

28.7K
Population size is dynamic, increasing with birth rates and immigration, and decreasing with death rates and emigration. In ideal conditions with unlimited resources, populations can increase exponentially, which plots as a J-shaped growth rate curve of population size against time. This type of curve is characteristic of newly-introduced invasive species, or populations that have suffered catastrophic declines and are rebounding.

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...

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Geriatric Medicine

Background:

  • Rhinitis and sinusitis are prevalent conditions in the geriatric population.
  • These conditions significantly impair the quality of life for older adults.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the importance of specific clinical management for rhinitis and sinusitis in geriatric patients.
  • To emphasize the need for therapies based on current guidelines, considering unique patient factors.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current clinical guidelines for rhinitis and sinusitis management.
  • Analysis of factors specific to geriatric patients, including comorbidities and polypharmacy.

Main Results:

  • Few studies specifically address the clinical management differences between geriatric and general adult populations.
  • Current therapies should be guided by established protocols, with particular attention to patient-specific factors.

Conclusions:

  • Management of rhinitis and sinusitis in the geriatric population requires special consideration due to comorbidities and polypharmacy.
  • Further research into the pathogenesis of sinusitis in older adults may reveal specific management differences.
