Abstract

Ce travail propose une procédure simple pour dépister la fragilité des patients gériatriques et « pré-gériatriques » au sein d’une patientèle de médecins généralistes conscientisés à l’importance de ce dépistage. La population gériatrique augmente. Parmi celle-ci, les patients fragiles confrontés à un « stress » sont à risque de déclin fonctionnel accéléré. Une évaluation de la fragilité existe déjà dans les services de gériatrie mais elle ne peut être adaptée à la médecine générale. Une procédure simple et facilement intégrée à une consultation de médecine générale a donc été instaurée. Cette procédure a pour intérêt de ne pas allonger le temps de consultation et ne demande aucun instrument particulier en sus du matériel disponible dans tout cabinet de médecine générale. L’analyse démontre que cette procédure a fait ses preuves au sein de la patientèle de mon maître de stage en dépistant les patients âgés fragiles. Il s’agit d’un outil intéressant à utiliser afin d’améliorer la prise en charge et les soins apportés aux personnages âgées. Cette analyse ouvre la porte à d’autres opportunités de travail afin d’affiner le dépistage et d’établir des plans de soins adaptés aux patients gériatriques fragiles.

Abstract

"Brain aging has long been seen as a process of deterioration and decline. Today, this view been challenged with research showing that not all cognitive processes decline with age, that some improve over the course of adulthood, and those that improve can often compensate for those that decline. Chapters in this multidisciplinary volume examine the neural mechanisms underlying changes in the aging brain, changes in learning and memory, risk and protective factors, and the assessment and prevention of cognitive decline"--

Abstract

Quatrième de couverture : "Les fonctions exécutives peuvent être définies par un rôle de contrôle intervenant dans les situations non familières ou complexes nécessitant la coordination de différentes actions vers un but finalisé. Il s'agit de capacités de contrôle de haut niveau impliquant la prise de décision et l'inhibition de comportements inappropriés. Les fonctions exécutives sont fréquemment altérées après un traumatisme crânien sévère, ce qui peut se traduire par des troubles cognitifs mais aussi par des troubles du comportement qui sont fréquents et peuvent représenter la gêne essentielle. Des modèles théoriques tentent d'expliquer ces fonctions exécutives. L'évaluation, en particulier écologique, est au centre de la prise en charge. Les approches rééducatives sont aujourd'hui multiples et découlent des approches théoriques avec des protocoles de restauration ou de réorganisation."

Abstract

This book provides up-to-date research on the clinical assessment and management of individuals with dementia and those with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), the fastest growing clinical population. A summary of important points at the end of chapters highlights essential clinical information and guides student learning. An all-new Clinical Guide comprises the second half of the book providing an extensive discussion of the process of assessment and evidence-based treatments for individuals in all stages of dementia.

Abstract

In America today, there are 46 million people over the age of 65 and there will be over 98 million by 2060. With aging, there are many neurological diseases that can adversely affect the brain, such as Alzheimer's disease, Lewy body dementia, and Parkinson's disease. These diseases are common and a major cause of disability and suffering. Although, in a small percentage of patients, these diseases can be related to a genetic defect, for the most part we do not fully understand their causes. Perhaps that is why they are called "degenerative diseases." Several decades ago, the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease was made only in those who were below the age of 65 and had signs of progressive dementia. If a person had cognitive deterioration and was above the age of 65, their disorder was called "senile dementia." One of the reasons this term was used is that many clinicians thought memory loss and cognitive decline were part of normal aging. Fortunately, we have learned that disorders such as Alzheimer's disease are associated with specific pathological changes in the brain, such as neurofibrillary tangles, and that normal aging does not cause this disease. Although the origins of these degenerative brain diseases are still unclear, much progress has been made in understanding their pathophysiology and paving the way for preventative, ameliorative, and curative treatments.

Abstract

1. 1. The classic animal models for human psychiatric conditions involves rodents As prey species, their normal behaviors of avoidance would be considered pathological in humans and dogs. Hence, such models may not be homologous for similar behaviors found in psychiatric pathology in humans. 2. 2. Dogs exhibit pathological behavioral conditions that may be equivalent to certain human psychiatric conditions. These canine conditions appear spontaneously or endogenously in the absence of genetic or neurochemcial manipulation, and as such, may be homologous to the human condition. 3. 3. If canine conditions approach homology with human conditions they should have excellent face, predictive, and construct validity. 4. 4. The canine conditions of separation anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, cognitive dysfunction, dominance aggression, and panic disorder have good to excellent validity at all explored levels for human generalized anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, Alzheimer's disease, impulse control disorders, and panic disorder. 5. 5. Natural canine models can aid our understanding of human psychiatric conditions.

Abstract

A number of studies have demonstrated that both morphological and biochemical indices in the brain undergo alterations in response to environmental influences. In previous work we have shown that rats raised in an enriched environmental condition (EC) perform better on a spatial memory task than rats raised in isolated conditions (IC), We have also found that EC rats have a higher density of immunoreactivity than IC rats for both low and high affinity nerve growth factor (NGF) receptors in the basal forebrain. In order to determine if these alterations were coupled with altered levels of neurotrophins in other brain regions as well, we measured neurotrophin levels in rats that were raised in EC or IC conditions. Rats were placed in the different environments at 2 months of age and 12 months later brain regions were dissected and analyzed for NGF, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) levels using Promega ELISA kits. We found that NGF and BDNF levels were increased in the cerebral cortex, hippocampal formation, basal forebrain, and hindbrain in EC animals compared to age-matched IC animals. NT-3 was found to be increased in the basal forebrain and cerebral cortex of EC animals as well. These findings demonstrate significant alterations in NGF, BDNF, and NT-3 protein levels in several brain regions as a result of an enriched versus an isolated environment and thus provide a possible biochemical basis for behavioral and morphological alterations that have been found to occur with a shifting environmental stimulus.
