- 老年病学和血液学
- 公共卫生和流行病学
背景情况:
- 血友病患者 (PWH) 的预期寿命显著增加,导致人口老龄化.
- 这种人口变化带来了挑战,包括与年龄相关的疾病和历史治疗的长期影响,如慢性肝炎C病毒 (HCV) 和艾滋病毒感染.
- 关节损伤,疼痛和功能限制仍然存在,原因是过去的预防措施不足,而心血管,代谢和心理并发症越来越普遍.
研究的目的:
- 描述血友病 (PWH) 的老年人的多样性并发症概况.
- 突出血友病特异性后果和一般老龄化人口健康问题之间的相互作用.
- 为这个不断增长的人口制定未来的护理策略.
主要方法:
- 对现有文学和临床数据的审查,关于老化PWH.
- 对并发症模式的分析,包括血友病特异性因素 (病毒暴露,关节病) 和与年龄相关的一般情况.
- 评估历史和当前治疗模式对长期健康结果的影响.
主要成果:
- 较老的PWH表现出复杂的健康状况,慢性关节病是残疾的主要驱动因素,增加了减少运动,骨质疏松症和骨折的风险.
- 心血管疾病,包括高血压和动脉样硬化,越来越重要,复杂化了标准的心脏护理与静血考虑.
- 代谢状况 (肥胖,糖尿病) 和癌症的发生率与一般人群相似,通常与心血管风险因素结合在一起. 抑郁和焦虑等心理症状很常见,与慢性疼痛和社会隔离有关.
结论:
- 患有血友病 (PWH) 的老年人的健康状况是由血友病相关问题 (关节损伤,病毒感染) 和老化常见的并发症的组合形成的.
- 慢性关节病,心血管疾病,代谢障碍和心理症状是这一群体患病率的关键决定因素.
- 由于预防的改善,未来的队列可能会经历较少的关节发病率,但新疗法的长期血管效应需要持续监测,强调需要持续的多学科护理.

Disorders of Hemostasis
2.6K
Hemostasis, the process that stops bleeding after a blood vessel injury, is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the circulatory system. However, disorders of hemostasis can disrupt this delicate balance, leading to either excessive clotting or bleeding. These disorders can be broadly classified into thromboembolic disorders and bleeding disorders.
Thromboembolic Disorders
Two factors primarily cause thromboembolic conditions.

Anticoagulant Drugs: Low-Molecular-Weight Heparins
2.2K
Hemostasis is a crucial process that prevents excessive blood loss from damaged blood vessels. It involves various mechanisms such as vasoconstriction, platelet adhesion and activation, and fibrin formation. The importance of each mechanism depends on the type of vessel injury. In contrast, thrombosis is the abnormal formation of a blood clot within the blood vessels, leading to potential complications if the clot obstructs blood flow. Thrombosis can be caused by increased coagulability of the...

Pharmacodynamics in Geriatric Patients: Effects of Age
307
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...

The Effect of Aging on Tissues
4.1K
Several body functions deteriorate with age. The external signs of aging are easily identifiable. For example, the skin becomes dry, less elastic, and thins out, forming wrinkles. The skin of the face begins to appear looser due to a decrease in the levels of elastic and collagen fibers in the connective tissue. Additionally, melanin production in the hair follicle decreases with age, resulting in gray hair. Moreover, the senses of sight and hearing decline, so glasses and hearing aids may...

Pharmacokinetics in Geriatric Patients: Effect of Age on Drug Distribution
307
Drug distribution in the human body is influenced by several factors, including plasma protein concentration, body composition, blood flow, tissue-protein concentration, and tissue fluid pH. Among these, changes in plasma protein concentration and body composition due to aging significantly affect how drugs are distributed within the body. Specifically, aging is associated with a decrease in albumin levels by about 10% and an increase in α1-acid glycoprotein levels. These alterations are...

Venous Thrombosis III: Interprofessional Care
445
Venous thrombosis requires effective prevention and treatment strategies to improve patient outcomes and reduce potential complications.Prevention StrategiesHealthcare providers must prioritize preventing venous thromboembolism (VTE) for all adult patients upon admission. Interventions depend on bleeding and thrombosis risk, medical history, current medications, diagnoses, planned procedures, and patient preferences. Patients on bed rest should change positions every two hours and, if not...
