Continuing Care01:25

Continuing Care

1.6K
Continuing care describes the variety of health, personal, and social services provided over a prolonged period. The need for continuing care is increasing because people are living longer. Many people do not have families or others to care for them. Continuing care is mainly for patients who are disabled, functionally dependent, or suffering from a terminal disease. It is available within institutional settings or in homes. Examples include nursing centers or facilities, assisted living,...

Parkinson's Disease: Treatment01:24

Parkinson's Disease: Treatment

440
Neurodegenerative disorders, such as Parkinson's Disease (PD), involve the gradual and irreversible destruction of neurons in particular brain areas. These disorders exhibit standard features like proteinopathies, selective vulnerability of some neurons, and an interaction of intrinsic properties, genetics, and environmental influences in neural injury.
Parkinson's Disease is primarily a result of the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta. The cornerstone of...

Alzheimer's Disease: Treatment

290
Alzheimer's Disease (AD), a neurodegenerative disorder, is pathologically identified by amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles composed of tau protein. AD pharmacotherapy aims to manage cognitive symptoms, delay disease progression, and treat behavioral symptoms. The treatment is primarily symptomatic and palliative, with no definitive disease-modifying therapy available. Cholinesterase inhibitors, including donepezil (Aricept), rivastigmine (Exelon), and galantamine (Razadyne), are...

Peripheral Artery Disease IV: Nursing Management

92
 The nursing management of a patient with peripheral artery disease (PAD) begins with a thorough assessment of the patient’s health history and clinical manifestations.AssessmentHealth History: Evaluate the patient’s history of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, family history of cardiovascular issues, and lifestyle factors such as dietary patterns, smoking, and physical activity.Physical Examination:Assess the affected extremity for decreased or absent peripheral pulses,...

Peripheral Artery Disease III: Interprofessional Care

52
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is characterized by narrowed arteries that diminish blood flow to the extremities. Effective management of PAD requires an interprofessional approach involving various healthcare professionals. The critical aspects of interprofessional care for PAD patients focus on risk factor modification, drug therapy, exercise therapy, nutrition therapy, critical limb ischemia care, and interventional radiology and surgical procedures.The primary treatment goal for PAD...

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Palliative Care

Background:

  • Neurology and palliative care share significant overlap.
  • Early integration of palliative care into neurological treatment is infrequent.
  • Misconceptions exist regarding the timing and scope of palliative care in neurology.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the need for early palliative care integration in neurology.
  • To address misunderstandings surrounding palliative care's role beyond end-of-life care.
  • To advocate for enhanced collaboration between neurology and palliative care specialists.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review on palliative care in neurological disorders.
  • Analysis of current practices and challenges in integrating palliative care.
  • Discussion of potential synergies and training needs.

Main Results:

  • Neurology and palliative care share common goals but lack seamless integration.
  • Palliative care is often perceived as limited to hospice or end-of-life care.
  • There is a need for improved understanding and application of palliative care principles throughout the course of neurological illness.

Conclusions:

  • Early and integrated palliative care is essential for patients with neurological diseases.
  • Enhanced training and interdisciplinary collaboration are vital for both fields.
  • Optimizing palliative care in neurology requires addressing current misconceptions and promoting its broader application.
