Chronic Disease - Science topic

Chronic Disease are diseases which have one or more of the following characteristics: they are permanent, leave residual disability, are caused by nonreversible pathological alteration, require special training of the patient for rehabilitation, or may be expected to require a long period of supervision, observation, or care. (Dictionary of Health Services Management, 2d ed)

Question
1 answer
In my previous studies, I collected data including older people with multimorbidity. In total, I counted the prevalence of 12 chronic diseases, including hypertension, CKD, diabetes, and so on. However, I have trouble with the conduction of cluster analysis for the diseases. I tried to use MCA & k-means, but I could only conclude that these diseases can be divided into three types and which diseases are in each type.
I am not sure if this analysis is proper. If it is, how can I continue to analyze the association between each disease type and health-related quality of life(measured by EQ-5D)? And how can I find the influencing factors of HRQoL?

Braun and Clarke provide a general guideline in 2006 and updated recently with reflexive thematic analysis. Their guidelines can be used by you if it fits your purpose/aims and answers your questions. Two key points: Thematic analysis is not parametric analysis; decisions and methods must be selected, and there is flexibility. Secondly, a theoretical and/or conceptual framework should be rooted in the research and literature of your problem.

How can personalized lifestyle modifications, including diet, exercise, stress management, and sleep hygiene, be integrated into conventional medical treatments to optimize health outcomes and potentially reverse or manage chronic diseases or any other diseases in the past, present or in the future?
Relevant answer
Answer
We can no longer rely on the philosophy of determinism (control) of classical science.They only apply to invariant properties of physics; not to society/biology/ecology.The models of classical science become deadly if used on medicine (health care).
Our participation in creation operates in our body, as human AND humanity. Science is incapable to describe that; the same is the case for any religion. But we can all experience it in our body: it is based on this uniVersal dynamic.
Integral Health Care makes use of all the healing arts of the whole Earth. East & West, Far-East & Far-West therein logically complement each other. Together they define and form Integral Health Care.
Together they can prevent, early-detect/correct, cure and palliate.
The essence is simple:
  • The West created an anatomic (“somatic”) structural understanding of our body.This bases itself on the Classical models of deterministic science.
  • The East (Ayurveda) focused on supporting the physiological processes of our body.This calls for a Relativistic type of thinking.
  • The Far-East (Acupuncture) designed an approach to recalibrate the regulatory system of our body.This requires a Probabilistic approach.
  • The Far-West (Spiritual Healing) works primarily with the Information Integration system of the body.This calls for a universal integral/unified Field description.
  • The principles and method for integration of these forms of healing is found in our living body. Our body is not a mechanical object: it is an information processor which interacts with its context. In our living being, information integrates with matter, with the essence of life: Freedom of Choice. Our body is our best example on the way objective reality is based on subjective realisation. Realise that the scientific model of reality changed from Determinism to Relativity to Probability to Creativity. Our participation in creation means that our reality is based on our realisation. Especially for health care this means a change from Objectivity to Subjectivity: “what you think matters”.

Hi everyone,
According to you, and based on your knowledge (and possible clinical/field experience), what are (/ would be) the clinical, neurobiological and metabolic indicators to explain pathological fatigue ? I'd be interested in knowing in which field(s) you are working (discipline, clinical population(s) if applicable) and why do you propose these particular indicators?
If you have some relevant literature on the topic, please do not hesitate to share!
Finally, if you have been working (or know labs) in the field of persistant / pathological fatigue in the context of neurodevelopmental conditions, I would enjoy very much have your thoughts on the topic.
Thank you for sharing your ideas and feedbacks.

"What causes persistent fatigue?
Most of the time fatigue can be traced to one or more lifestyle issues, such as poor sleep habits or lack of exercise. Fatigue can be caused by a medicine or linked to depression. Sometimes fatigue is a symptom of an illness that needs treatment."

The metabolic syndrome is characterized by dyslipidemia and hypertension in obese individuals. Lipoprotein subfractionation of plasma from obese individuals indicate the presence of large very low density lipoprotein, small dense low density lipoprotein and decreased high density lipoprotein. Other defects in obesity and Alzheimer’s disease may be linked to specific lipid species. In obesity and Alzheimer’s disease toxic ceramides are found in these chronic diseases and linked to inflammation, insulin resistance and amyloidogenesis. The search for lipids associated with longevity has accelerated to extend lifespan in the developing and developed world and specific lipids by LIPIDOMICS in the plasma need to be identified to determine the lipids involved in cell signalling associated with healthy aging.

As medical advances are made in the care of patients with chronic diseases including those with (ESRD), patients are not only experiencing increasing life expectancy but also bearing the burden of illness and treatment methods for a long duration of time. Therefore, it is important for health care providers to pay more attention to their individual patient's perceptions of their life satisfaction, health, fitness, and well-being. Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQOL includes an evaluation of the patient's level of satisfaction with treatment, outcome, and health status, also taking into account their perspective on future prospects. How we can measurably improve health-related quality of life in hemodialysis patients?

Recently I have been able to discuss happiness in life with chronically ill patients (I am a research director at a private cancer foundation). We have realized that both good and bad things happen in life. What seems essential in life is how you react to these events. If events of life (good and bad) are received honestly accepting them as they emerge, then it is possible to experience deep happiness, peace of mind, and joy every day. Even if you are burdened by a chronical disesae.
In the event of difficulties we can learn from good and bad happenings. It seems paramount to find the keys of success in all events of life (good or bad). When good things happen in life, then there is a clear reason to be genuinely grateful and to feel genuine happiness.
We are learning step by step the secrets of a good life by accepting the things that happen to us.

Relevant answer
Answer
We can measure medication use by direct and indirect methods involve patient questionnaires, patient self reports, pill counts, rates of prescription refills, assessment of patient's clinical response, electronic medication monitors, measurement of physiologic markers, or patient diaries.
We can also measure adherence by In some instances, providers might wish to measure adherence directly by measuring the concentration of drug levels in the blood. More commonly used, however, are indirect measures of adherence which include patient questionnaires, pill counts, refill rates, and clinical response.
Drug interaction can be identified by software drug interaction checker(Medscape).

Could anyone suggest any robust ways to flesh out this methodology?
Relevant answer
Answer
It sounds like you want to do either qualitative interviews or surveys with three different sets of men. For surveys, the biggest limitation you are likely to face is sample size, since you might need at least 100 participants in each subsample in order to do effective sample comparisons. For qualitative interviews, you might need only 10 or so per subsample, and the trade-off would be aiming for detailed responses on a limited number of topic, rather than coverage of a wider range of variables.
One substantive issue is that might be hard to guarantee that your participants have regular, interacting groups that influence them. Instead, you might expand your interests to "sources of information," with a particular focus on that particular source, when it is available.

As nutrigenetic and nutrigenomic understanding is increasing should resources still be spent on developing population-wide recommendations for longevity, prevention of chronic disease and treatment of chronic disease?
Relevant answer
Answer
In short, yes. Vaguely, there has to be a baseline set of recommendations; a starting point if you like. This is to be tailored downstream, on a personalised fashion, to meet individual needs that derive from interindividual genetic variations. By default, treating an individual entails tailoring general recommendations to meet their needs, and for example consider an acute scenario of an ICU patient receiving TPN. Bearing in mind that the practice of registered practitioners is not only evidence-based, but also governed by professional codes of conduct and national recommendations (e.g. National Institute for Health and Care Excellence in the UK), I believe that the real question is how much value does nutrigenomic and nutrigenetic information really add in everyday practice.

Pre-testing and re-testing of the questionnaire is needed to be done in an area and targeted group similar to your targeted group and area.
Statistical analysis should be performed to test the consistency and reliability.
Health education is flexible phrase, so it’s very very important to choose the most appropriate approaches and methods to deliver the messages effectively to your targeted group.

I am writing my masters capstone paper on the effects of chronic disease/disability on adult learners' desire to engage in or persist in adult education experiences (distance and F2F programs). I hope to find reference to significant contributors or research related to this idea.
Relevant answer
Answer
As a PhD and having studied and worked in the field of sociology/education over a long period of time, as well as having chronic condition of T1 diabetes and related autoimmune conditions, surely the actual condition - which may or may not be perceived as a 'disability', makes a lot of difference. I have fought for much of my life to be 'able', yet this 'fight' has been, at times, made far more difficult because of this condition. At the same time, my various conditions have also given me the incentive to try harder, to achieve my academic ambitions, and most importantly, not let my chronic condition/disability, stop me from getting to where I want to be. Through recent online social networking, I have learnt that many others in my situation have also gone beyond the norm, to achieve beyond what might be expected as a way of overcoming the disabling affects of such conditions. There are many social networking sites that would be a good source of data. Good luck with your study!

As this is the era of new emerging technological mobile applications and/or softwares but much of the peoples do not know these and working of these, so it is better time to apply latest information for better control of obesity and diabetes. Many companies are building new artificial intelligence for detecting obesity, diabetes and hypertension, so for tackling these chronic diseases, we have to be ready for futuristic thinking for diagnosis, management and treatment of all these diseases.

Hi,
I am looking at a longitudinal study of two ethnic populations. they were first seen/recruited at time T1. The total number of participants was 30k. out of these 15k were then followed up at T2. however this T2 is not same for all participants, like some participants were seen after 5 years, some after 6, some after 7 and so on. My aim is to look at the progression of chronic disease in these two populations and compare the results. I want to conduct survival anaylsis but because of the variable follow-up time I don't know how to proceed.
Can you please help me understand how to apply the tools for survival analysis and cox regression in this case?/
Kind regards
Saima
Relevant answer
Answer
you may not need survival analysis if you can score disease severity.
A very simple initial model would be to assume the chronic disease severity score , (including death as highest score) increases( or decreases) with time.
then a simple regression (initially assume linear) of disease score on time and a binary (0-1) variable for ethnicity would estimate difference in rate of progession between ethnic groups.
eg Disease score = beta0 + beta1 x ethnicity (1/0) + beta2 x time of follow up.

I've been presented with a case of a woman who is chronically tired at sea level, where she lives, where she is in a state of not being able to walk for 5 min at a speed of 1 km/h. It is only when she is at altitude (>1500 m) that she regains strength and endurance within hours and is able to walk at a normal speed, with frequent breaks, due to a lack of endurance power, probably caused by being unwillingly sedentary at home. Regular hospital doctors and specialists haven't got any idea what it could be.She found out by herself that the use of an altitude tent a couple of hours per day relieves inablity to be active to some extent.
It seems as it also genetic, as the children of her sister have the same symptoms.
What can cause this disease? Is there a name for it? It seems to me that an increase in the Hypoxible Inducable Factor seems to have a positive effect on her.
Relevant answer
Answer
Just to be clear, Andrew, not my observations, credits to Albert ;-)
It is interesting that your patient does not require full acclimatization to hypoxia to benefit from the hypoxic exposure. As Prof Zubieta-Calleja already highlighted, hypoxia-induced stimulation of the cardiorespiratory centers in conjunction with elevated catecholamine levels might be involved in these observations. Does this patient react similarly to pharmacological stimulants of the adrenergic system? In other words, can she only function ‘normal’ again during temporary increments in adrenergic activity via hypoxic/pharmacological stimulation, whereas the endogenous adrenergic activity in normoxia alone is insufficient for normal functioning due to, for example, a downregulation of beta-adrenergic receptors (or malfunctioning/desensitized adrenal glands?)? Along this line, should chronic hypoxic exposure be considered a contra-indication because of potential further desensitization to adrenergic signals associated with long-term 'living high'?

The most common chronic diseases and causes of death of our current population (e.g. cardiovascular diseases, cancer) are usually explained by the longer lifetime, and that during the evolution human body was not shaped to live that long, and therefor the body naturally degrades by time. 
However, some found that hunther-gatherer tribes, and possibly our anchestors live as long as 70 years (Gurven & Kaplan, 2007). 
Thus, to which amount chronic diseases are caused by (1) 'time passing' and a body not designed to live that long or (2) the maladaptive features of our lifestyle?

One of the secrets of the Qur'an is
the cosmic references in the Holy Quran and the significance of its scientific significance 
by Dr. Zaghloul Najjar
 
God, who created you from weakness and then made after weakness of power then made after the power of weakness and chivalry creates Maysa which is the Almighty * (Rom: 54)
This verse came at the end of the Surat Al-Rum, a series of Makiya and Ayatah Stone after the Basmalah, and was named by this name to start by predicting the victory of the Roman Persians before the occurrence of a number of years, and after they had defeated defeat in front of the Persian armies . this story represents an aspect of the miracles of the Quran known as the miracle of predictive. the main focus is going to Sura rum on a number of pillars of the Islamic faith, like every fence Meccan. 
begins with the words of our Lord Surah rum ( Blessed and exalted): 
pain * * Romans have been defeated in the lowest land , and they after their victorious * In a few years God has the command before and after, and on that day the believers will rejoice in the victory of God.
The recitation of the verses of this blessed surah (pain) was repeated at the beginning of the six chapters of the Holy Quran (Al Baqarah, Al Imran, Spider, Rum, Luqman, Sajdah ) And came once in the form (Almer) at the beginning of the Surat Al-Thunder, and the verses cut in general are considered the secrets of the Koran, which was entrusted by most interpreters to the knowledge of God (transcendence), and some tried to interpret them as we have presented Before in a number of previous articles.
The verses pointed to the defeat of the Roman in the lowest ground, the area of Wadi Wadi Araba Dead Sea and the Jordan Valley has proved scientific studies that it is the most land parts lower than the level of the sea, while at the same time the closest land to the land of Hijaz, (Minimum) bear the concerns: lower and closer The Holy Quran confirmed that the majority will prevail after this in a few years, and a few in Arabic between the three and nine, has already been achieved. The verses also confirmed that the command to God transcends before and after, and that victory in his hand is to whom he wills (and he is the most merciful), as confirmed by Farah Muslims that day for two reasons: first, the victory in the battle of Badr Ali major Quraish infidels and heathens, and the second: the victory of the Romans over the Persians, was Alepeshrian achieved by order of Allah (the Almighty).
And then follow the verses confirmed that the promise of God does not succeed, and the denial that most people are oblivious to the inevitability of the Hereafter and is not considered the creativity of the Creator in the human soul In the heavens and the earth and between them, as denounces their kufr meeting their Lord, and not to consider what happened to the nations of before them a penalty and discredit them by the revelations of Allah and his messengers. 
and verses continue to emphasize the fact that God Almighty begins creation , then bring him back, and all creation to him we return, and that criminals will grieve in the afterlife reach deeply saddened by the extent of despair, and that Their partners, who have joined them in the worship of God, will give up their disbelief and disbelieve in them For those who believe and do good deeds, they will be rewarded in Paradise, and those who disbelieve and deny the revelations of Allah and meet the Hereafter.
The verses enjoin the remembrance of Allah, His praise, and His praise in harmony with all that is in the heavens and the earth of the indescribable creation, in the evening and the morning, and in the evening and in the afternoon, at these specific times of special blessings says: Glory to God while Thompson and when you become * and his praise in the heavens and the earth , morning and evening , and while * is revealed. (Romans: 18.17). 
then Sura generous review a number of verses of God in the universe , which is witnessing a great and fluent ability And creativity of creation, and hit the people for example from themselves and ask them in the manner of inquiring question: Do you have your partners in the ownership of the money is not Do you spend something that you possess only with their permission? If you do not like this and do not do it, they are like you in humanity and bondage to God so how to associate with God (God) some of his creatures, but some made his creatures, where you make it in your hands then worship it without God or engage in worship God?
Show the verses to the owners of enlightened minds both of the right and wrong, but those who disbelieve follow their desires without realizing the consequences of their disbelief or shirk, and the knowledge of God (Almighty) their Odilhm, and guides astray God?. 
And order (Peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and after him every believer in his mission to establish his face to the true Islam, that is, accept it as a whole because it is the religion that is acceptable to our Lord (Blessed and Exalted) It is the religion of instinct that God (God) exalted the people on it, which is not to replace it, although most people do not know it for their ignorance, or to enlarge them, or For immersion in the sins of God. As 
well as the order of verses acting to God (Almighty) and piety, and ordered the establishment of prayer, and warns of falling into the trap Conception of God.
In reference to the nature of the human psyche, the verses in the Surah Al-Rum state that when people are harmed by evil, they seek refuge in God, seeking to reveal it. If Allaah responds to their supplication, a group of them will hasten to shirk it, so the end will be disbelief. ), And warns them of the verses of the evil of that consequence, asserting that God (Almighty) if people taste a blessing of joy to the extent of the rain, and if hit them severely because of the sins they have committed to the point of despair and we have forgotten that Allah ( the Almighty) is the one who simplifies the provision for whom he will. 
and order verses Baata with al - Qirbi and his right to the poor and the wayfarer, And forbids usury, and preaches the performance of Zakat, and emphasizes that God (transcendent) is the creative, the Razak, the living, the dead, and that those who worship the polytheists can not achieve any of that, So Allah is pleased with what they associate.
The verses refer to the appearance of corruption in land and sea, which gained the hands of people, asserting that God (Subhanah) will punish them for this: ... Some of those who have worked for them may return to them 
(Romans: 41) . 
and ordered the verses to walk on the ground to consider what happened to the nations entangling before, stressing the need to adhere to Islam by the great to come hereafter Vtsda every creature and then recompense all his work.
And remember the noble Koran that the discharge of the wind is a sign of the transcendence of the divine power required to thank the worshipers, and recall the punishment of the slanderers of the criminals of the former nations avenging them, confirming that the victory of the believers right to the Lord of the worlds in every time and place. How to be the clouds of the platoon, and the drop of water from them, Vstbhr slaves so that they were desperate, and similar to the revival of the dead revival of the earth after her death, asserting that God (Almighty) to all things can, and comparing the wind and promising wind between punishment flavescens. 
The verses are similar to the infidels and the reluctance of the infidels anus Sector to God 's message Conclusion The inability of both the dead and deaf listening especially if you are deaf foul play, and it says to address the seal of the prophets and messengers (peace be upon him and bless him and them all):
You for you hear the dead and pray if you hear the deaf Lua turned away * and what you are blind Pahad if you hear only perversion of understanding of Muslims believe in our revelations * (Roman: 53.52). 
And remember the verses of the fact that the people of God (Almighty ) created them of weakness, then make them strength after weakness, then made after strength weakness and gray hair so as not to be deceived by one of its youth and Aihzn Hepth and weakness, and knows that it is God in His creation. 
the verses confirm progress on the minimum And the sedition of the people, and the absence of the Hereafter, and forget them for the inevitability of their occurrence, and then surprise them on the Day of Resurrection.
The Qur'an concludes with a letter addressed to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and after him to all the believers in his message, confirming the disbelief of those who lied to the Great Qur'an. kaafirs understanding did not know the truth, and find a way to him, and ordering the patient to disregard the right call, and safe to the promise of God, which is the reality of these infidels and infidels inevitably, and in the verses that says: 
I have hit people in This Quran is of all kinds, and if you bring them with a sign, they will say, Those who disbelieve, you are nothing but apostles. So Allah will follow the hearts of those who do not know. Count the right of God and Estkhvnk who Aaouknon * 
(Romans: 58 . 60).
This has already show us all of the pillars of faith, worship and summarize the cosmic signals that came in Surat Roman, I do not see a need to return here to dedicate this article to view the scientific implications of the verse (54) of this blessed Sura. 
Connotations scientific verse precious 
first: the Almighty as saying: God who created you from weakness ... *: 
God creates (Almighty) human embryo Ba_khasab selected sperm from hundreds of sperm selected by the wife of sperm as well as between the Billions of sperm pair to come into existence with specific qualities in the science of God, there is no soul but the Creator of God, and no soul to be the day of the Otherwise Aamh it is situated.

this period is characterized by the rapid growth of Hamil , especially after its second week 10, and the initiation of the process of consistency between the dimensions of the head, body, and limbs, the length increases from (32 mm) at the end of the embryo stage to about (500 mm) before labor , As Ranging from weight (8 g) to (g -.3500).
Medical studies indicate that 50% of pregnancies fail before the woman learns that she has been pregnant, and that 78% of the remaining cases are aborted, dropped, decomposed and absorbed within the uterus. (which is good for those who say): God brought you out of the bellies of your mothers you know something and you hearing and sight and hearts that you may give thanks * (bees: 78). 
He says (Izz man who said): 
O ye people, if you We have created you from dust, then from sperm, then from leech, then from the mold of a creature, and not to be created, to show you, and to tap into the wombs, to give birth to your name, and then we shall bring forth a child unto you, In you who respond to the very end of life of the agent knows after learned something .... * (Hajj: 5). 
He says ( the Almighty):

It is well established scientifically that Ahumail not He can live outside the uterus only after the sixth month of lunar month, and therefore he said: "And the man showed his parents a tenderness that his mother had given him to hate, and put him in his womb, and carried him for thirty months ..." (Al-Ahqaf: 15). he ( the man who said Ezz): the parents are breastfeeding their children full Holin who wants to be breast ... * (Al - Baqarah: 233). 
and therefore determine the lactation period according to the time spent in the baby duck His mother, if he was born after six lunar months, must complete his breast-feeding period to two full years, although he was born for nine lunar months, enough to feed him twenty-one lunar months.
And the newborn is usually larger than the female, and the length of about (--50 cm) and weight about (3.5 kg) on average, and completion of the first year the length of the baby is about 35% Faisal to its length (70 cm), double weight three times Faisal to about ten kilograms. 
In most of the baby bones are soft so be unbreakable and deformation if not treated very carefully, and then begin gradually calcified even strengthen ; And the primary teeth (usually the lower front) grow at the seventh month of life, and after the completion of the first year, the number of teeth growing to about six.
The baby is born full but small to the size, and with attentive senses and the first hearing, sight, touch, and the ability to capture things, although delayed taste slightly The cerebral cortex is completed gradually, After eight weeks of birth, the newborn can see what is around him, distinguish between the sounds of different tones and the different smells, and gradually increase his abilities, and then the sense of vision becomes complete in his sixth month, around him in a month - seventh. 
in the period between his first and second (of the month I begin to walk and walk independently, and in the full two years he has reached the stage of speech with sentences A short understandable has been stamped.
The child gradually begins to realize his meaning and to collect the knowledge units and their means, then to learn the language, to develop the memory and the ability to express and to think and conclude, and then develop his motives and desires, and then his ethics and values until he enters the stage of adolescence and begins with Children are about 13 years of age and in girls between the ages of 8 and 11 years on average. The period of adolescence to the age of 20 continues when bone growth is complete and strengthens and increases its density. Muscle growth is increased, the complete cartilage, Vtngar dimensions and shapes, perceptions and concepts. 
Second , the Almighty as saying: ...
And then made after the weakness of strength ...: The adolescent phase is characterized by rapid physical growth, height and weight increases significantly by increasing the size of muscles in males, and increase the thickness of the fatty layer in females in general. , increase the secretion of hormones, physical strength and up to the highest level, although teenagers suffered from severe allergies, embarrassment, and the tendency to isolation from society, fear of personal criticism. 
this period was also characterized by The emergence of a number of special abilities that are employed in the attempt to achieve self-realization by a kind of intellectual independence until identity is formed, Mental and emotional development, thirst for the love of others, and the desire to gain their admiration.
The period of adolescence is the development of youth, the transition from childhood to manhood. Physical, mental and psychological abilities gradually increase to reach their peak at the age of 25. (a full manhood) and then curved body begins to deteriorate to enter into the role of adulthood and old age. and called the Koran manhood as the stage of attaining one 's most intense stage and says: 
... even if it reaches its peak reached forty years He said, "O Lord, I would like to thank you for your grace, which is bestowed on me and on my father, and that I do good to satisfy him and make good in my offspring. Of the Muslims * (Ahqaf: 15) Therefore, the Holy Quran to move from the stages of the fetus, and the baby, and the baby, and the weakness to the stages of youth and virility and the strength and intensity Our Lord says (Blessed and Exalted): God who created you from weakness and then made after weakness of strength .. (Rum: 54).
It is witnessing the power of God the Creator that he is alone and Ahpha, and her salary, and his knowledge organizer, wisdom and ability. 
Third , the Almighty said: Then , after strength , weakness and gray hair ...: 
After the arrival of human (25) to 45 years of age, physical growth stops, physical abilities gradually decrease until the age of sixty-five, and the acute decline of The age of sixty-five is called the age of senescence, a state of gradual deterioration in the structure of each neighborhood, including all its cells, tissues, organs Which weakened its efficiency and its ability to perform its functions at the rates it was doing in the youth and manhood stages.
This health deterioration is a type of programmed self-destruction (phenoptosis) in the genetic code of the living cell, and the imbalance begins to accumulate at the cell level to reflect on the tissues, organs and systems and begins to appear in various forms of Change in the composition of nucleic acids in which the genetic code is written to the head, wrinkles of the skin, and weakness of the senses.
It is known that the simplest change in the composition of nucleic acids is due to the inability of the cell to do its assigned role, retracting its effectiveness and showing the symptoms of different aging on it It is said that one of the reasons for this is the abundance of FreeRadicals in the body. The aging itself is not a satisfactory condition, but if it is accompanied by many diseases, it has been transformed into a senility that is cared for in a special branch of science known as Gerontology and in one of the specialties of medicine known as gerontology The symptoms of aging can not be stopped, nor disposed of, because they result from a condition The ability of the body's cells to divide at the age of two has been discovered, and the presence of two lateral capsules at the end of each particle of the chromosome bearing genes, and that these two layers decrease each length after each split process, if they reach a certain length The cell division process stops until it dies,
(1) Shaving hair head: and gray hair is the loss of color material in the cells Melonocytes (Melanocytes) deep in the hair follicle, and decrease the number of coloring cells by about 1% every year, and subject activity to the effect of a special hormone, and gradually the lack of secretion with age weakens the activity of hair coloring cells Viphed color gradually. it is 
also proven that the reasons for accelerating the emergence of gray hair repeated cases of panic, psychological crises and hardships experienced by the human , Because of these cases associated with the secretion of adrenaline, a deadly substance of coloring cells. Its density or hair loss due to the death of blood vessels and nerve yarn feeder follicle responsible for its production.
(2) Skin shrinkage and wrinkle: This occurs due to decreased activity of both sweat and fatty glands, which leads to thinness and dryness of the skin, and weakness of connective tissue with age, and may cover the skin a number of dark spots in the parts exposed to radiation The sun, and hair may appear in the places of the mustache and chin in some elderly women Many people who are over the age of sixty suffer from many skin problems such as fungal infections, infections, and extreme sensitivity to the sun, And some skin cancers (God saved them).
(3) Weakness of the senses: As man progresses in his age, his senses gradually weaken, such as hearing, sight, taste, smell, and touch. The heart of the mystical (peace be upon him) saying Sharif: Oh God Oafni in my body, O God in my ears, O God in the eyes of me, there is no god but you ... To compensate for the shortage. A number of their senses are used by the elderly in certain ways, such as headphones, glasses, lenses, etc., and they need increased lighting and are difficult to adapt to moving to dark places. To taste in the tongue and reduce their ability to enjoy the food.
(4) The weakness of the bones: The skeleton of the human being an important part of its biological composition, the successive stages of demolition and construction since its integration until the moment of death, and with aging, and increasing rates of demolition rates Construction The skeleton enters the stage of debility due to its depletion due to the depletion of calcium, thus increasing its fragility (Osteoporosis). It is easy to break any part of it while the fastening speed is slow. The bones of the hip, wrist and spine, and the fracture gets less traumatic, and the spinal vertebrae usually compress To shortness of stature, or back pain in the back due to muscle weakness and cartilage erosion, which causes severe pain, and leads to arthritis.
As a result of the lack of calcium in the blood, it causes an increase in the number of important hormones. secretion of a neighbor known as thyroid hormone (Para-Thormone) which works on bone necrosis, or the increase in the secretion or in the abuse of cortisone , which leads to the inhibition of the work of the cells of the bones Albanian. 
(5) muscle weakness: After the age of forty-five scientists observed a decrease in the mass of both muscle tissue, neuromuscular connections, and increased fat adipose tissue Fibril gradually with age, especially with the lack of exercise, and lack of movement.
(6) The weakness of both the heart and the circulatory system: As the age of some muscle cells of the heart begin to damage, and begins the fibrous tissue and fat accumulate on the walls of the internal blood vessels, and the heart muscles, and thus Heart rate decreases gradually in the blood pump, and the speed of contraction, and increase the rates of atherosclerosis, high blood pressure, and may lead to all the blood clots that could lead to death.
(7) Gradual deterioration of the nervous system: The cells of the human body are renewed for several cycles throughout his life, except for nerve cells, which die if replaced by an alternative and therefore reduce their number constantly with age, especially after the forty-fifth memory And many senses, such as hearing and sight, and many skills such as the ability to hold things, and respond to stimuli, and may become old age with some forgetfulness, dementia, and amazement for both Place and time, and his personality may undergo something of a change with the accumulation of many materials between the cell The nerve fibers are known as SenilePlaques, which are common in the frontal area - the decision-making area of the brain. Therefore, the elderly may suffer from many diseases of aging such as Alzheimer's disease, Depression, obsession, and fear, and this may develop into something of mania, frenzy and insanity.
(8) Weakness of the respiratory system: As its efficiency decreases gradually over time, the elderly are usually infected with many diseases of the pneumonia, and the membrane peritoneal envelope, and inflammation of the airways, and the sensitivity of the parts related to them, and other respiratory diseases. 
(9) weakness of the digestive system: due to the decrease in thesecretion of both juices and enzymes to help digest the food in the process, the digestive system capabilities begin to decline with age, in addition to Poor teeth ability to bite If you have not fallen yet, the weakness of the stomach to digestion may lead to ulcers and bleeding I increase the suffering of constipation due to lack of physical activity.
(10) Weakness of the urinary system: Due to the gradual decrease in the secretion of many cellular enzymes in the kidney, it loses some of its units (Nephrons), which leads to the reduction of efficiency or failure in full, in the secretion of many hormones in females once entering into menopause, and the shortage of males in the progressive stages of aging to the weak activity of the reproductive system gradually until it stops with the passage of time. 
(11) weakened immune system: immune system weakens In the human body gradually increases with age, and therefore decreases the ability to resist diseases The inability of the immune system to distinguish the healthy body cells from invasive alien species, and begins to attack the body, which was originally designed to defend it infected with a series of diseases known as diseases of loss of immune discrimination, which results in the weakening of many of the cells and tissues and processes in the body with aging .
This weakness in all overlapping organs of the body with time , said ( the Almighty) ... and then after strength , weakness and gray hair creates what He wills He is the Knower of the Almighty (Romans: 54) 
and characterized the weakness of the Koran reconstruction and relapse vulnerability The first is the weakness of creation, settlement, adjustment, growth, initiation and development, that the last century of weakness in gray, although these are manifestations of human life, but that the description of the Holy Quran has such scientific accuracy and rational logical arrangement of what is witnessed this book immortal Rabbanit exclusive, and attest to the Prophet The ring that he received by the Prophethood and the message, and prayed to Allah and blessings upon our master Muhammad, and Ali And his companions and those who followed his guidance, and called by calling to the day of religion, and our last call that the praise of God the worlds.

Many people are replacing food by protuen shakes, and as we know as maximum our diet must be composed 25% of protiens, some are consuming 40% due to these shakes, I wonder the extant of damage there kidneys would suffer from and other organs.
Protien shakes or powders can be a complimentary for the diet of an athelete if taken in proper amounts after body composition analysis, and if theur source is safe and healthy, be it plants.

Our study explores the diversity of microorganisms thriving on common surfaces found in the gym setting. Our body's normal processes such as breathing is much different from when at rest as compared to when we are active in sports or exercise and we are wondering if this could play a part in perhaps increasing one's vulnerability to infections.
Relevant answer
Answer
Generally it is not expected of a healthy person to transmit any infection during exercise. The microorganisms on a healthy skin are normal flora and would usually not cause any infection just because a person is exercising. However, certain infectious organisms such as the Hepatitis B virus can be found in the sweat of an infected person, but would not likely be transmitted to another just by skin contact except when the skin is compromised. Air born diseases could easily be inhaled when one is exhausted and probably is breathing more rapidly. Physical exertion may comprise the immune system, yes but exercises are proven to improve general well-being and immunity.

Answer
Dear Louise,
For you to think of the type of early intervention to give to your client, you need to understand the nature of his/her health problem. this will give you direction of what he/she need. For every health condition, the type of intervention needed differ based on the nature of the problem, his/her social economic status(SES) and severity of the condition. Some may requires food (that contain high balance diet or supplementary foods), to others health talk/awareness/sensitization is ok, provision of drugs, skills empowerment may also be ok to others.
You therefore need to understand your client very well interms  of his need, health condition, SES status, his environment among others before you start  coming up with an intervention that will solve or minimize his/her problems

How I Learned To Forgive And Live Again Writing On Google Plus
By Frank Elliott  January 15, 2017
I've became more and more interested in the practice of forgiveness over the past eleven years because several severe chronic illnesses had combined their strengths to overwhelm my way of life.  I had been very strong,  a gifted person in terms of my eye-hand coordination and reflex speed and academic skills,  but became housebound with terrible burning pain.  It took constant work and cooperation with seven or eight medical specialists to even stabilize my conditions.  I was mad, felt persecuted, and each day of existence was like a long, drawn-out execution.  My intense anger and emotional outbursts about how life had so cursed me became the sum of my self-talk.  I realized after living this way for a couple of years that I would need to learn to forgive myself and my diseases to move on.   The last 9 years has been a story of learning to forgive and live peacefully.  Gradually, I picked up my old love of writing and my fury turned toward concentrating on describing the world around me and in me so that other people could learn to understand themselves too.  If I can learn to forgive and live in peace and reach out in love and kindness, so can many, many others.  To do that I had to let go of all the imagined wrongs and the hate, the fury.   The concentration on describing the world of science, nature, physics, astronomy, and developments in the fields of medicine and health care gave me an outlet to the world around me through Google Plus and let the love of others in. 
Gradually, but slowly at first, many people let me into their lives and I let them into mine.   People began to love what I wrote of and how I had become so upbeat and positive.  I began to love myself too because of them.  Gradually I had become a miraculous new being of light.  I would have never imagined that eleven years before.   I've had to slow down and stop my writing and sharing sometimes for many months at a time, but I always start up again when the storm of symptoms subsides or I find a way around it, over it, or under it.  I've given myself that permission to rest and attend to my needs and restore my health. 
I can accept my own weaknesses and frailty now.  I could never do that before.  Severe illness was able to give me many gifts and open many new doors because I learned to slow down, listen to my body, and get help as well as take actions designed to mend myself.   I don't know if I could have learned this or many other lessons that changed my life either if I had not learned to listen.   The truth is that I was forced into it. I was not about me but about a kind of grace.  Life has a kind of grace that invites us to come in and change and learn more deeply about who we are.  I've found we only need to pick up the call and listen.  To me this means heading down the long road of peace building within myself and with others too.

Answer
The International Federation on Aging (IFG) has excellent resources to draw upon. You could also draw from such resources as the Canadian Frailty Network (CFN), and, the National Initiative on the Care of the Elderly (NICE - Canada). As a brief response - be careful not to classify all aged individuals as the same. Strategies used to address chronic health care conditions vary considerably (as people vary considerably). For example, some choose to maximize whatever health they have left using health promotion strategies. Others (a growing number in fact) pursue complementary and alternative medicine - CAM. This assumes of course that people can take options - not all can. Many, for example, simply cannot afford the strategy to which they wish to pursue. There may also be access issues beyond one's socioeconomic status.

Those who treat patients with glaucoma, know that many patients that are on glaucoma treatment, really don`t have glaucoma. As in many other chronic diseases, overdiagnosis and overtreatment are big problems in glaucoma. Nevertheless very few publications have addressed this issue.
Which strategies should be implemented to reduce the problem of overdiagnosis in glaucoma?
Relevant answer
Answer
Dear All,
Greetings ! 
Happy New Year !
Overdiagnosis in glaucoma is quite prevalent among the clinical community
Only definitive evidence of glaucoma diagnosis is characteristic optic neuropathy
on dilated 90D or 78D biomicroscopic examination 
The early clinical diagnosis depends much to the experience of clinician on optic nerve head evaluation and is subjective still 
IOP is not sensitive enough for the diagnosis of glaucoma unless is significantly high at multiple point in times 
The more objective OCT may underdiagnose or overdiagnose GON and may give non correlating findings many a times due to poor quality and centration of picture acquisition and due to biologically variable Optic disc morphology
Like to conclude saying that it is better to observe and not treat somebody who doesn't have glaucoma rather than overdiagnosing and treating them giving the burden of long terms medications with its attendant local and systemic side effects, monitory loss and above all psychological trauma of a blinding disease
Discussion with the "glaucoma suspects" and close observation is the key to prevent overdiagnosis and overtreatment, considering the risk factors of glaucoma in a particular suspect
A mutually correlating documented progression in clinical or test wise evaluation is the key to diagnosis and the starting point of treatment
As Doctors we should at least not harm somebody if not treating them

Since the dawn of IV TPN insulin has been added to the formula as needed to keep the blood glucose below 200 gm%.  This is renal threshold.  The aim is to prevent glucosuria and associated osmolar dehydration.  An objection was that 17% of the insulin adheres to the glass.  Since what adheres is immediate, this makes no difference re clinical efficacy.  An estimate of how much insulin should be added is 5 U regular insulin per glucose + in the urine.  i.e., 2 + glucosuria requires the addition of 10 more unites to the formula. 
Ignoring glucosuria will lead to hyperosmolar nonketoic dehydration and potentially death.  Prolonged hyperglycemia will predispose the patient to fungal infection.
Relevant answer
Answer
Try to maintain blood sugar level between 80 and 100mg%, preferably by delivery of the TPN under strict, conscientious control, using an IV pump and well trained Nursing Staff surveillance. Add insulin to the TPN judiciously as indicated to achieve the desired TPN goal while maintaining normal blood sugar range. This demands dedicated, educated, motivated effort. If unwilling to adhere to the principles of safe, effective TPN administration and management, don't expose the patient to danger by dabbling with it. The insulin sticking to the glass is irrelevant "ancient history"-- TPN is provided in plastic bags. Moreover, enough insulin is given to achieve the optimal blood sugar level and total TPN goal, no matter what minute quantity might be "lost" during infusion. Treat the patient!!! Don't forget that insulin requirements can change during the course of illness and dosage must be adjusted accordingly, e.g. ,should infection, pneumonia, other stressful events intercede. Monitor blood potassium and phosphorus levels as insulin dose is changed, as these cations move into the cells, as the sugar and insulin move increasingly into the cells from the vascular compartment. It's all about clinical chemistry and metabolism and responses to pathophysiology and/or therapeutic measures---and good old common sense and judgment, coupled with adequate education, training, and experience.
