Pharmacodynamics in Geriatric Patients: Effects of Age

180
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...

Aging01:26

Aging

568
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...

Cognitive Development During Adulthood

749
Cognitive development continues throughout adulthood, undergoing significant shifts across early, middle, and late stages. Individual transition occurs from adolescent idealism to pragmatic and adaptable thinking in early adulthood. During this period, individuals learn to integrate personal beliefs with the recognition that other perspectives are equally valid. Exposure to the complexities of modern society, diverse experiences, and higher education contribute to this adaptive thought process,...

Pharmacokinetics in Geriatric Patients: Effect of Age on Drug Excretion

221
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

212
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...

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Criminology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • The incarcerated population is aging rapidly.
  • Transitions into, out of, and between correctional facilities are frequent for older adults involved in the justice system.
  • The experiences of these transitions are not well understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct a scoping review of existing literature.
  • To examine the transitions experienced by justice-involved older adults entering, exiting, or moving between prisons.

Main Methods:

  • A scoping review was performed.
  • Literature searches were conducted in PubMed, CINAHL, and PsycINFO databases.
  • Nineteen studies met the inclusion criteria.

Main Results:

  • Most studies focused on transitions out of prison.
  • Factors influencing transitions include individual vulnerability, family structure, and adjustment/coping mechanisms.
  • Transitions into prison can impact subsequent transitions out of prison.
  • No studies specifically addressed transitions between correctional facilities.

Conclusions:

  • Multiple factors affect justice-involved older adults' transitions.
  • These factors present opportunities for correctional and community-based nursing interventions.
  • Further research is needed to explore the full spectrum of transitions experienced by this population.
