Physiological Changes Associated with Aging and Immobility
Aging, an inevitable and extremely complex, multifactorial process, is characterised by the progressive degeneration of organ systems and tissues. It is largely determined by genetics, and influenced by a wide range of environmental factors, such as diet, exercise, exposure to microorganisms, pollutants, and ionising radiation. This explains why two people of the same age may differ markedly in...
متن کاملPhysiological Changes Associated with Pregnancy
Blood volume Blood volume increases progressively from 6-8 weeks gestation (pregnancy) and reaches a maximum at approximately 32-34 weeks with little change thereafter. Most of the added volume of blood is accounted for by an increased capacity of the uterine, breast, renal, striated muscle and cutaneous vascular systems, with no evidence of circulatory overload in the healthy pregnant woman. T...
متن کاملDendritic spine changes associated with normal aging.
Given the rapid rate of population aging and the increased incidence of cognitive decline and neurodegenerative diseases with advanced age, it is important to ascertain the determinants that result in cognitive impairment. It is also important to note that much of the aged population exhibit 'successful' cognitive aging, in which cognitive impairment is minimal. One main goal of normal aging st...
متن کاملChanges in thrombelastograph variables associated with aging.
Aging is associated with hypercoagulability. To assess thrombelastography (TEG) variables associated with aging, 132 adult patients of various ages undergoing orthopedic surgery for fracture repair had venous blood samples withdrawn for testing of recalcified TEG before the induction of anesthesia. Age was weakly correlated with all TEG variables: r time (R) (r = -0.45, P < 0.001; R = 19.5 - 0....
متن کاملNaming Ability Changes in Physiological and Pathological Aging
Over the last two decades, age-related anatomical and functional brain changes have been characterized by evidence acquired primarily by means of non-invasive functional neuroimaging. These functional changes are believed to favor positive reorganization driven by adaptations to system changes as compensation for cognitive decline. These functional modifications have been linked to residual bra...
