Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients01:15

Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients

164
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...

Aging

514
Aging is a complex biological phenomenon influenced by various processes that affect cellular and systemic functions. Several prominent theories attempt to explain its mechanisms, highlighting cellular limitations, oxidative damage, and hormonal changes as central factors in aging.
Cellular Clock Theory
The cellular clock theory posits that the human lifespan is closely tied to the finite capacity of cells to divide, a phenomenon governed by telomeres, which are protective caps at the ends of...

Pharmacodynamics in Geriatric Patients: Effects of Age

137
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...

The Effect of Aging on Tissues

3.1K
Several body functions deteriorate with age. The external signs of aging are easily identifiable. For example, the skin becomes dry, less elastic, and thins out, forming wrinkles. The skin of the face begins to appear looser due to a decrease in the levels of elastic and collagen fibers in the connective tissue. Additionally, melanin production in the hair follicle decreases with age, resulting in gray hair. Moreover, the senses of sight and hearing decline, so glasses and hearing aids may...

Pharmacokinetics in Geriatric Patients: Effect of Age on Drug Absorption01:22

Pharmacokinetics in Geriatric Patients: Effect of Age on Drug Absorption

164
As individuals age, their body's physiology evolves, affecting drug pharmacokinetics. The most apparent changes occur in the gastrointestinal tract, where an increase in gastric pH, a delay in gastric emptying, and a reduction in gastrointestinal motility are observed. Remarkably, these changes do not substantially modify the absorption of orally administered drugs, particularly those absorbed via passive diffusion.Transdermal drug delivery emerges as a highly viable method for older adults due...

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Human Resources Management
  • Organizational Behavior

Background:

  • The U.S. population is aging, leading to a progressively older national workforce.
  • Shifts in age-specific labor participation rates further accelerate workforce aging.
  • Organizations face critical challenges regarding the impact of an aging workforce on costs, productivity, and long-term sustainability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine employer strategies and responses to the growing trend of workforce aging.
  • To identify how organizational policies and practices are being modified to address an aging labor force.

Main Methods:

  • Review of employer responses to workforce aging.
  • Analysis of changes in retirement policies.
  • Examination of modifications in working conditions and employee benefits.

Main Results:

  • Employers are implementing diverse strategies to manage workforce aging.
  • Key adaptations include revising retirement policies and introducing phased retirement.
  • Modifications to working conditions and employee benefits are also noted as responses.

Conclusions:

  • Organizations are proactively responding to workforce aging through policy and benefit adjustments.
  • These employer responses aim to mitigate challenges and ensure organizational sustainability.
  • The study highlights the evolving landscape of human resource management in an aging society.
