Drug Abuse and Addiction: Pharmacological Phenomena

1.3K
Drug dependence, abuse, and addiction are complex phenomena that can precipitate various abnormal states. Physical dependence refers to a state of pharmacological adaptation to a drug. This adaptation often results in tolerance—a reduced response to the drug after repeated administrations. When the drug use is abruptly stopped, withdrawal symptoms occur due to the body's need to readjust from the pharmacologically induced imbalance. However, tolerance and withdrawal symptoms do not...

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...

Primary Healthcare Services

Primary care promotes wellness and prevents disease. This care includes health promotion, education, protection (such as immunizations), early disease screening, and environmental considerations. Settings providing this type of healthcare include physician offices, public health clinics, school nursing, and community health nursing.
In 1978, international leaders convened in Alma-Ata, Kazakhstan, for what would be a pivotal event in global health. The Alma-Ata Declaration was the first to call...

Preventive healthcare services keep people healthy via frequent check-ups, screening, and counseling. They primarily aid in disease prevention rather than treating an acute or chronic illness. Preventive treatment also keeps individuals productive and energetic, allowing them to work well into their retirement years. Examples of preventive care services include:

Pharmacodynamics in Geriatric Patients: Effects of Age

239
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:

    • Gerontology
    • Public Health
    • Social Work

    Background:

    • Elder abuse is a significant issue affecting hospitalized elderly individuals.
    • Existing screening tools often require adaptation for hospital settings.
    • Multidisciplinary approaches are crucial for comprehensive elder abuse intervention.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe an innovative pilot project integrating a primary care screening tool (EASI) and a narrative therapy approach for hospitalized elderly patients.
    • To introduce the development of a complementary multidisciplinary elder abuse service (CMEAS) through a public-private partnership.

    Main Methods:

    • The study involved screening hospitalized elderly patients for abuse, neglect, or abandonment using the EASI instrument.
    • Patients identified with suspected abuse were offered participation in the CMEAS.
    • The CMEAS involved collaboration between geriatric, psychological, social work, legal, and psychiatric services.

    Main Results:

    • Out of 450 invited patients, 152 raised suspicion of abuse and were screened.
    • 132 patients tested positive for abuse experiences and were invited to the CMEAS.
    • The intervention demonstrated the feasibility of implementing a multidisciplinary service for elder abuse.

    Conclusions:

    • A multidisciplinary service involving various specialists is essential for effective elder abuse intervention.
    • Collaboration and referral to community services, along with post-discharge monitoring, are key components of successful elder abuse support.
    • The pilot project highlights the importance of adapting screening tools and integrating therapeutic approaches for hospitalized elderly populations.
