Depression
Depression is a common mental disorder that affects mood and can be experienced by elderly individuals. Left untreated, depression can worsen over time and negatively impact quality of life. For seniors, depression is often triggered by difficult life changes like the death of a spouse, loss of independence, or health problems. Treatment options for depression include counseling, support groups, psychotherapy, and medication, which can help most people feel better. It is important to seek help if an older adult is experiencing signs of depression like sadness, fatigue, social withdrawal, appetite changes or sleep disturbances.

Elderly clients may experience the usual symptoms of depression or more age-related symptoms like fatigue or trouble sleeping. Occupational therapists can help clients engage in meaningful activities and manage depression by encouraging exercise, social support, and treatment adherence. Early identification and treatment of depression in elderly clients is important to improve outcomes.

Gemma Wean- Nutritional solution for Artemia
GEMMA Wean is a high end larval co-feeding and weaning diet aimed at Artemia optimisation and is fortified with a high level of proteins and phospholipids. GEMMA Wean provides the early weaned juveniles with dedicated fish nutrition and is an ideal follow on from GEMMA Micro or Artemia.
GEMMA Wean has an optimised nutritional balance and physical quality so that it flows more freely and spreads readily on the water surface. The balance of phospholipid classes to- gether with the production technology based on a low temperature extrusion process improve the physical aspect of the pellets while still retaining the high phospholipid content.
GEMMA Wean is available in 0.1mm, 0.2mm and 0.3mm. There is also a 0.5mm micro-pellet, GEMMA Wean Diamond, which covers the early nursery stage from post-weaning to pre-growing.
Feeding plate for a newborn with Cleft Palate.pptx
A feeding plate is a prosthetic device used for newborns with a cleft palate to assist in feeding and improve nutrition intake. From a prosthodontic perspective, this plate acts as a barrier between the oral and nasal cavities, facilitating effective sucking and swallowing by providing a more normal anatomical structure. It helps to prevent milk from entering the nasal passage, thereby reducing the risk of aspiration and enhancing the infant's ability to feed efficiently. The feeding plate also aids in the development of the oral muscles and can contribute to better growth and weight gain. Its custom fabrication and proper fitting by a prosthodontist are crucial for ensuring comfort and functionality, as well as for minimizing potential complications. Early intervention with a feeding plate can significantly improve the quality of life for both the infant and the parents.
