Continuing Care01:25

Continuing Care

1.4K
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: Overview01:15

Parkinson's Disease: Overview

486
Neurodegenerative disorders are progressive diseases that cause irreversible damage and loss to neurons in specific brain areas. Examples of these disorders include Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, Multiple Sclerosis (MS), and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). These disorders share characteristics such as proteinopathies, selective neuronal vulnerability, and a complex interplay between genetic and environmental factors. The primary therapeutic goal for these conditions is...

Parkinson's Disease: Treatment01:24

Parkinson's Disease: Treatment

227
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...

 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,...

Alzheimer's Disease: Treatment01:22

Alzheimer's Disease: Treatment

165
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...

Disorders of the Nervous Tissue01:28

Disorders of the Nervous Tissue

1.1K
Nervous tissue is a vital component of the human body's communication system, enabling us to perceive and respond to stimuli. However, like all other tissues, it is vulnerable to disorders and diseases that can significantly impact our neurological functioning.
Homeostatic Imbalances:
Alzheimer's disease manifests as a gradual decline in memory and cognitive abilities, attributed to the buildup of amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in the brain.
Parkinson's disease arises...

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Palliative Medicine

Background:

  • Palliative medicine offers holistic care for the terminally ill, focusing on quality of life and suffering alleviation.
  • Neurological diseases often present complex symptom burdens and prognoses, necessitating early palliative care.
  • Current palliative care provision for neurological patients is often inadequate.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the need for qualified neuropalliative care.
  • To outline essential competencies for neurologists in palliative care.

Main Methods:

  • Review of palliative medicine principles and their application in neurology.
  • Identification of core competencies required for neurologists.

Main Results:

  • Neuropalliative care can address the unmet needs in neurological patients.
  • Key competencies include interdisciplinary collaboration, communication, symptom control, and end-of-life ethics.

Conclusions:

  • Neuropalliative care is essential for improving care in advanced neurological diseases.
  • Neurologists require specific palliative care training to meet patient needs effectively.
