Aging involves biological changes but also reflects the accumulated effects of one’s exposure to external risks, such as poor diet, and can further be influenced by social changes, such as isolation and loss of loved ones.

2 Genetics are estimated to be responsible for about 25 percent of differences in health and function in old age, with other determining factors including aspects of the natural and physical environment such as air pollution and accessibility, risky behaviors such as smoking and inactivity, and individual characteristics such as occupation and level of income or education.

3 Moreover, these factors are often intertwined, such that individual characteristics among older persons may hold sway over other health determinants.

In other words, disparities in old age in health and other areas often reflect accumulated disadvantage, due to factors such as one’s location, gender, and socio-economic status, as well as to ageist attitudes and practices and too lacking or inadequate laws and policies—or their enforcement—that provide for equality and the rights to health and social security. In the context of rapid population aging, age-related inequalities take on greater urgency. Between 2015 and 2030, the number of people aged 60 and over is expected to increase from 901 million to 1.4 billion.

Un paciente masculino presenta insuficiencia hepática crónica puede presentar trastornos hemostásicos. Explique y razone su resp
pychu [463]
La insuficiencia hepática es un estado patológico que condiciona la síntesis y metabolismo de diversas biomoléculas, siendo las alteraciones a la hemostasia una de las primeras consecuencias a nivel sistémico que se hacen presentes; debido a esto y por la dimensión de los riesgos de esta situación, no es raro que las pruebas de coagulación sean indispensables para formular las escalas pronósticas en pacientes hepatópatas.

La cascada de activación de los factores de la coagulación ha sido perfeccionada hasta conformarse el ahora vigente modelo celular que considera la valiosa e indispensable participación del endotelio y las plaquetas.

En la enfermedad hepática existe una acumulación masiva de lípidos en el hepatocito que inducen la liberación de diversos mediadores inflamatorios, entre los que se pueden mencionar la interleucina (IL) 1 y 6, el factor de necrosis tumoral (TNF) y la estimulación del receptor LPS/Toll-like (TLR-4) presentes en las células de Kupffer Estas vías desencadenan una disregu- lación del endotelio mediante la activación de la dimetilar- ginina asimétrica (ADMA), un inhibidor endógeno de la óxido nítrico sintetasa (eNOS)


La mayor parte de los factores procoagulantes como el fibrinógeno, la protrombina y los factores V, VII, IX, X, XI y XII son de síntesis hepática, por lo que sus niveles séricos se modifican en relación con el grado de daño hepático. Los factores V y VIII son los primeros en disminuir por poseer las vidas medias más cortas (12 y 4-6 horas, respecti- vamente). Es común que los pacientes cirróticos sufran reducciones moderadas del factor VII, identificándose una relación significativa entre los niveles de factor VII y el tiempo de protrombina (TP)

Cuando se evalúan las pruebas de coagulación en pacien- tes con hepatopatías, es importante descartar defectos con- génitos; el más frecuente es la deficiencia de factor VII. Esta deficiencia congénita se ha descrito en varias entidades clínicas (embarazo, cardiopatía, enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva, entre otras), aunque se tienen registrados pocos casos en px cirróticos.

Gracias a esto es posible comprender que, en pacientes con insuficiencia hepática, el riesgo de sangrado no obedece únicamente a la deficiencia en la producción de los factores de la coagulación y, por tanto, es cuestionable la administración de vitamina K.

Why do some people with Locked in Syndrome have eye movements vertically but not horizontally?
sergejj [24]

Answer:

Locked‐in syndrome (de‐efferented state) is the result of bilateral ventral pontine lesions that produce quadriplegia, aphonia, and impairment of the horizontal eye movements in some patients. Wakefulness is maintained due to sparing of the reticular formation. Patients can move their eyes vertically and can blink because the supranuclear ocular motor pathways lie more dorsally (see Chapter 1). In some patients, there is a “herald” hemiparesis that makes the lesion appear to be cortical in nature. However, within a few hours, there is progression to bilateral hemiplegia and CN findings associated with the locked‐in syndrome.

g Osteoporosis and related low bone mass affect many adults in North America, especially older women. One-third of all women exp
faust18 [17]

Answer:

That is true.

Explanation:

Osteoporosis promotes bone loss and people who suffer from this disease are more prone to fractures, especially in dangerous places like the hips and spine. Although some factors that promote this disease cannot be avoided, such as the genetic factor, osteoporosis can be prevented and even avoided with adequate intake of calcium, which is one of the main elements of bone mass. However, it is incorrect to say that only calcium intake is sufficient to prevent osteoporosis, as it is necessary to combine food with constant physical activity, which is capable of strengthening and promoting density to the bones.
