Osmoregulation in Fishes02:32

Osmoregulation in Fishes

52.4K
When cells are placed in a hypotonic (low-salt) fluid, they can swell and burst. Meanwhile, cells in a hypertonic solution—with a higher salt concentration—can shrivel and die. How do fish cells avoid these gruesome fates in hypotonic freshwater or hypertonic seawater environments?

Pharmacokinetics in Geriatric Patients: Effect of Age on Drug Excretion

163
In geriatric patients, renal physiology undergoes significant changes, including diminished renal blood flow and a lower glomerular filtration rate (GFR), leading to alterations in medication clearance. Drugs such as aminoglycoside antibiotics, lithium, and digoxin, which rely on glomerular filtration for removal from the body, particularly impact pharmacokinetics. These drugs tend to have slower clearance rates in older adults, necessitating careful dosage considerations.Evaluation of renal...

Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients

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...

Summary

Fish medicine is advancing to manage pain and diseases in aging captive fish. This includes treatments like pain relief, surgery, and regenerative therapies, mirroring vertebrate care.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Aquatic Animal Health
  • Comparative Medicine

Background:

  • Fish medicine is evolving, mirroring advancements in care for other vertebrates.
  • Aging captive fish face unique health challenges, including degenerative diseases and neoplasia.
  • The acceptance of pain management in fish necessitates sophisticated medical approaches.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the need for advanced diagnostics and treatments for aging fish.
  • To discuss the application of therapies commonly used in terrestrial vertebrates to fish.
  • To address the challenges and considerations specific to the aquatic environment in fish medicine.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current veterinary practices and research in fish medicine.
  • Comparison of diseases and treatments between fish and other vertebrate counterparts.

  • Discussion of diagnostic and therapeutic modalities applicable to aging fish.

    • Main Results:

    • Degenerative organ/tissue changes and neoplasias in fish require comprehensive diagnosis and treatment.
    • Therapeutic options include pain relief, anti-inflammatory medications, chemotherapy, surgery, joint supplements, regenerative cell therapy, and photobiomodulation.
    • Recognizing normal aging changes in fish is crucial for effective clinical management.

    Conclusions:

    • Fish medicine is achieving parity with other vertebrates, especially in pain management and geriatric care.
    • Creative medical approaches are essential due to the diversity of fish anatomy, physiology, and behavior.
    • Addressing the diseases of aging captive fish requires adapting advanced veterinary techniques to the aquatic environment.
