Answer:

With the aging of the joints, wear on them occurs. The most affected joints are those with greater mobility and weight support, such as the knee, shoulders and elbows. The changes that occur most are:

- decrease in synovial fluid.

- reduction of intra articular space.

- joint stiffness.

The joint becomes arthrosic, that is to say a worn joint, which will manifest itself with pain, functional limitation and inflammation.

EleoNora [17]

A biomedical treatment for severe depression in which a brief electrical current is sent through the brain of an anesthetized patient is Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT)

Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) is done under anesthesia in which currents which are small in magnitude are passed on through the human brain in patients with severe depression.

ECT is used when the patient does not respond to other treatments which involves Electrically stimulating the brain while patient lies in anesthesia.

This stimulation causes a seizure which helps to relieve the symptomatic causes of the depression.

It does not lead to any damage to the brain and its cells.

Thus, it helps to treat the various mental disorders prevailing in the popoulation.

ECT is considered as the last usable option when all the treatments pre given have failed to treat the patient.
