Teeth01:15

Teeth

1.3K
The formation of teeth, also known as odontogenesis, is a complex process that begins in utero, around the sixth week of embryonic development. There are three stages to this process: the bud stage, the cap stage, and the bell stage.
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin...

Pharmacokinetics in Geriatric Patients: Effect of Age on Drug Absorption

95
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...

Assessment of the Mouth01:26

Assessment of the Mouth

735
A thorough mouth assessment, including inspection and palpation of the lips, gums, tongue, tonsils, uvula, and pharynx, is crucial in detecting potential health issues. Diseases ranging from oral cancer to systemic conditions like diabetes could be identified early through careful oral examination. This article provides a detailed guide on conducting a comprehensive mouth assessment.
Mouth Inspection
The inspection begins with visually examining the mouth for symmetry, color, and size.

Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients

103
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

96
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
  • Sociology

Background:

  • Immigration significantly impacts the health of older adults.
  • Oral health is a critical component of overall well-being in later life.
  • Understanding the intersection of aging, immigration, and oral health is crucial for targeted interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an integrative framework on aging, immigration, and oral health.
  • To critically review the impact of immigration as a social determinant on older immigrants' oral health.
  • To identify knowledge gaps in current research.

Main Methods:

  • A critical review methodology was employed.
  • Immigration was examined through a social determinant of health framework.
  • A systematic search of multiple databases identified 12 eligible empirical studies.

Main Results:

  • Most studies focused on East Asian immigrants (8), followed by European (2), Mexican (1), and Middle Eastern (1) origins.
  • Identified knowledge gaps include acculturation's dynamic relationship with oral health, environmental factors, psychosocial stressors, and oral health literacy.
  • An integrative framework was developed, outlining pathways through which immigration influences oral health in older adults.

Conclusions:

  • The developed framework provides a comprehensive understanding of immigration's influence on older adults' oral health.
  • Addresses critical knowledge gaps concerning acculturation, environmental, and psychosocial factors.
  • Offers opportunities for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to enhance oral health outcomes for immigrant seniors.
