Orthogeriatrics delirium vs dementia and hip fractures
This document discusses dementia, delirium, and their connection to hip fractures in geriatric patients. It defines dementia and delirium according to DSM-IV criteria and differentiates between the two. Predisposing and precipitating factors for delirium are outlined. Prevention of delirium focuses on primary prevention through interventions targeting risk factors like cognitive impairment, immobilization, and medication use. Management of dementia includes both pharmacologic options like cholinesterase inhibitors and non-pharmacologic supportive care.
Medically unexpalined symptoms
This document discusses psychosomatic medicine, which explores the relationships between social, psychological, and behavioral factors on physical health and quality of life. It addresses how patients often present somatic symptoms to doctors without an identifiable organic cause, which can be due to conditions like depression, anxiety, or functional somatic illnesses. The "problem" arises because patients experience symptoms differently than doctors expect to find a diagnosis. While doctors may dismiss symptoms as having nothing wrong, patients still experience distress. Assessing and treating any underlying mental health issues, having tolerance for diagnostic uncertainty, and taking a long-term view of improvements can help doctors in these situations.
Hanipsych, stress
Stress can have biological impacts through activation of the sympathetic nervous system and HPA axis, releasing hormones like cortisol. Prolonged stress can accumulate as allostatic load and damage the hippocampus over time, impacting memory. Studies link stress and shorter telomeres, a marker of biological aging, showing the lasting impacts of stress on the body. Effective stress management utilizes strategies like exercise, relaxation, and social support.
Models of Addiction
NBCC, NAADAC, CAADAC, CBBS, Florida approved continuing education series in mental health, substance abuse and dual disorders counseling for nurses, counselors, therapists, social workers and addictions professionals.
Chapter 3
Stress can be caused by both physiological and psychological stressors. The body responds to stress through the release of stress hormones and physical adaptations. Prolonged stress can lead to exhaustion. People respond psychologically to stress through feelings like depression, anxiety, and difficulty focusing. Personality traits like optimism can act as a buffer against stress while traits like anger and hostility increase health risks. Coping strategies like problem-focused approaches, social support, and relaxation techniques can help manage stress.

This document discusses medically unexplained symptoms and related psychiatric diagnoses. It summarizes that somatization disorder, hypochondriasis, and somatoform autonomic dysfunction are psychiatric diagnoses related to medically unexplained symptoms. It also discusses that symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder can include both cognitive symptoms like worry and physical symptoms like tremors or difficulty breathing. Differential diagnoses for physical symptoms include endocrine, cardiac, respiratory, and neurological conditions, as well as vitamin deficiencies and substance use. The outcomes of depression, medically unexplained symptoms, and unemployment are shown together over time.
Medically unexplained symptoms by dr ajay nihalani
Medically Unexplained Symptoms (MUS) refers to medical symptoms that are not fully explained by physical illness. They can be caused by somatoform disorders like somatization disorder, conversion disorder, and hypochondriasis, which involve the person experiencing physical symptoms that cannot be attributed to medical conditions. MUS can also be linked to mental health issues like depression and anxiety, or be factitious in nature where physical symptoms are intentionally feigned or exaggerated. Somatoform disorders involve the person experiencing real physical symptoms, but their symptoms are considered to be linked to their psychological state rather than a physical disease.

Bioethics Behavior Control
This document discusses moral issues surrounding behavior control technologies like psychosurgery and claims to health care. It notes that psychosurgery aims to modify behavior or mental states but raises moral concerns about undermining patient autonomy and dignity. It also discusses that health care is necessary for a normal life and that individuals have an inherent right to medical care irrespective of attributes. However, recognizing universal health care risks violating physician rights. Overall criteria for health care inclusion and comparison are proposed, and ethical theories like natural law, utilitarianism, and justice are applied to debates around allocating scarce medical resources.
Biopsycosocial Model
The biopsychosocial model views health as the product of biological, psychological, and social factors and their complex interactions. It was created by George Engel as an alternative to the traditional medical model which focuses only on the physical aspects. The model has three main components - biological, psychological, and socio-cultural - which influence health and illness. It takes a holistic approach by systematically considering all of these factors.
INS 2016 BT-ADHD Poster
This study compared the neuropsychological profiles of attention and related processes in 72 pediatric brain tumor survivors and 43 children with ADHD. The brain tumor survivors were divided into those with attention problems (n=13) and those without (n=59). Parents and teachers completed rating scales measuring inattention, executive functioning, and behavioral issues. Children completed tests of intelligence, processing speed, attention, and executive function. Results showed brain tumor survivors with attention problems had similar functional impairments to children with ADHD, including more neurocognitive deficits than survivors without attention problems. Screening brain tumor survivors for ADHD symptoms may help tailor interventions for those meeting criteria.

Psychosomatic Illnesses
Dr. Maurice Prout is a psychologist and director of a respecialization program who has clinical interests including psychosomatics. Psychosomatic illnesses refer to physical symptoms or diseases caused by mental or emotional stress, which can result from serious mental issues or everyday stress. While psychosomatic disorders can impact any part of the body, they most commonly affect systems not controlled by the voluntary nervous system, with examples being chronic fatigue syndrome, panic attacks, and ulcers. Treatments include psychoanalysis, behavior therapy, medication, and for mild cases, stress management, but failing to address the underlying psychological causes often leads to recurring symptoms.
Aging theory
This document discusses geriatric nursing and theories of aging. It provides an overview of geriatric nursing, which concerns the provision of nursing services to elderly individuals. Several biological and psychosocial theories of aging are described, including theories related to genetics, free radicals, cross-linking, and wear and tear. Cognitive and psychosocial aspects of aging are also reviewed, covering topics like memory changes, stress, and coping strategies for elderly individuals.

Gerontology is the study of aging and the aging process across the lifespan. It involves the study of physical, mental, and social changes that occur with age, as well as investigating societal changes due to an aging population. Gerontology includes several subfields like biogerontology which studies the biological aging process, biomedical gerontology which aims to slow or reverse aging, and social gerontology which focuses on the social aspects of aging. Researchers in gerontology come from various backgrounds like social sciences, medicine, and public health and apply their knowledge to policies and programs related to aging.

Gerontology is the study of aging processes across the lifespan. It includes studying physical, mental, and social changes in aging as well as changes in society due to an aging population. Researchers in gerontology study topics like social sciences, physiology, psychology, and public health to understand aging. Some subfields of gerontology include biogerontology studying biological aging, social gerontology focusing on social aspects of aging, and environmental gerontology examining aging individuals' relationships with their environments. Theories of aging include programmed aging theory attributing aging to genetics and lifestyle stress theory proposing aging results from structural and chemical changes over life.
Geriatric Medicine.ppt
Geriatric medicine is a specialty concerned with diseases and health problems of older adults over 65. Life expectancy is around 16 years for men and 19 years for women at age 65. Many physiological changes occur with aging that can impact multiple organ systems. Common problems in geriatrics include intellectual impairment, immobility, instability, and incontinence. Delirium and dementia are two types of confusion seen in older adults, with delirium being acute and reversible and dementia being chronic and progressive.
Theories of Aging - Part 1 in medicine and health sciences
This document provides an overview of theories of aging. It discusses both biological/physiological and psychological perspectives on aging. From a biological standpoint, it describes programmed aging theories like the telomere theory, which proposes that cells can only divide a finite number of times due to shortening telomeres. It also discusses error theories of aging, like the free radical theory, which suggests aging results from cellular damage over time. The document aims to explain the aging process and major theories about what causes aging.
Age related problems in geriatric
This document discusses age-related problems in geriatrics. It begins with definitions of aging, geriatrics, and gerontology. It then covers theories of aging and normal physical, psychosocial, cognitive, and pharmacological changes that occur with aging. Common health problems in older adults are also discussed, including depression, substance abuse, delirium, dementia, geriatric syndromes, and increased susceptibility to infection. The document concludes with sections on the medical and nursing management of various aging-related conditions.
Late adulthood
This document summarizes physical, cognitive, and health changes that occur in late adulthood. It discusses how both the young-old (65-84 years old) and oldest-old (85+ years old) are affected differently, with the oldest-old facing greater declines. Key changes include losses in brain and muscle mass, poorer vision and hearing, increased risk of chronic diseases, and slower processing speed and divided attention. However, lifestyle factors like exercise, nutrition, and mental stimulation can help maximize functioning and well-being in late life.
Aubrey de grey why you're helpless now but not for long
This document discusses aging and age-related diseases. It notes that while infectious diseases have been prevented through sanitation, vaccines, antibiotics, and carrier control, age-related diseases have not. It describes aging as the lifelong accumulation of damage to tissues, cells, and molecules in the body from normal metabolic processes. This damage cannot be automatically reversed by the body and leads to disease and disability when too much damage accumulates. The document advocates for a maintenance approach to treating aging by repairing and preventing further damage as a way to significantly extend healthy lifespans. It provides examples of research into specific maintenance therapies and argues this approach could eliminate most age-related diseases.
Biological theories of aging
The document discusses several biological theories of aging. The theories fall into two main categories: programmed aging theories and non-programmed aging theories. Programmed theories propose that aging is an evolved process with genetic programs that limit lifespan. Non-programmed theories propose that aging is an unavoidable byproduct with no evolutionary purpose. The document outlines several specific theories, provides examples to support each theory, and discusses implications for medicine and potential anti-aging behaviors.
Midlife Crisis In Women Pp
During middle age, women experience biological and psychological changes that can impact their health and well-being. Menopause is a major biological factor, leading to hormone deficiencies and increased risks of conditions like depression, osteoporosis, and heart disease. Symptoms of menopause vary between ethnic groups. While women experience more non-life threatening illnesses, men face more serious health issues. Stress can also weaken the immune system and increase health risks. Cognitive abilities evolve in middle adulthood, with fluid intelligence declining but crystallized intelligence and practical problem-solving improving through experience and education. Many people also develop more complex, relativistic thinking or strengthen their spiritual beliefs during this stage of life.
IFM: The New Paradigm of Medicine
This was developed by the Institute for Functional Medicine. It provides a concise explanation of the new paradigm of medicine that focuses on underlying causes of disease and treatment from that level rather treating symptoms alone, the approach often taken by modern medicine. The presentation clearly differentiates between these approaches and discusses how they can be used in a complementary fashion to benefit patients. We included this presentation here because it explains how testing such as that provided by Metametrix is being used to identify underlying causes of health problems.
Care of aged
This document discusses key concepts related to aging and care of older adults. It defines geriatrics, geriatric nursing, and gerontology. It describes theories of aging including biologic, developmental, sociologic, and nursing theories. It outlines common age-related changes including psychosocial, physical, cognitive, and pharmacologic changes. It provides health promotion strategies for various body systems. It also discusses common mental health problems in older adults like depression, dementia, and delirium. Finally, it outlines the role of nurses in providing knowledgeable, skilled, and dignified care for older patients.
Aging
This document discusses aging and various theories related to it. It addresses what aging is, various theories that attempt to explain the aging process (such as programmed aging theory and genetic aging theory), signs of successful aging, life extension sciences, and strategies to potentially slow aging or extend life.

Anti-aging
This document discusses anti-aging medicine and how to develop an anti-aging program. It covers several topics:
1. Anti-aging medicine aims to maintain youth and health regardless of age through treating the underlying causes of aging. It uses conventional and alternative approaches.
2. The main causes of aging discussed are oxidation, glycation, methylation, chronic inflammation, and hormonal deregulation. Anti-aging programs focus on reducing these processes through diet, supplements, exercise and hormone replacement.
3. Developing an effective anti-aging program involves following principles like eating a hormone-balancing diet, taking antioxidants and nutraceuticals, engaging in regular exercise, and replacing hormone levels to those of younger

By leveraging the brain’s natural ability to process sound from both ears, binaural hearing aids provide a more balanced, clear, and comfortable hearing experience. If you or a loved one is considering hearing aids, consult with a hearing care professional at Ear Solutions hearing aid clinic in Mumbai to explore the benefits of binaural hearing and determine the best solution for your hearing needs.

留信认证全称全国留学生信息服务网认证,隶属于北京中科院。①留信认证门槛条件更低,费用更美丽,并且包过,完单周期短,效率高②留信认证虽然不能去国企,但是一般的公司都没有问题,因为国内很多公司连基本的留学生学历认证都不了解。这对于留学生来说,这就比自己光拿一个证书更有说服力,因为留学学历可以在留信网站上进行查询!
B.为什么我们提供的毕业证成绩单具有使用价值？
查询留服认证是国内鉴别留学生海外学历的唯一途径，但认证只是个体行为，不是所有留学生都操作，所以没有办理认证的留学生的学历在国内也是查询不到的，他们也仅仅只有一张文凭。所以这时候我们提供的和学校颁发的一模一样的毕业证成绩单，就有了使用价值。
