			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Old age:</strong> a biological phenomenon is inevitable, universal for all forms of life be it animal, vegetable and human. This starts from birth.<br />
<strong>Aging physiology:</strong><br />
4 changes:<br />
alteration of neurotransmitters (poor communication between brain cells),<br />
alteration of cell membranes,<br />
crosslinking of collagen,<br />
Oxidation.<br />
apoptosis (programmed cell death), these changes have consequences:<br />
destruction of the respiratory capacity,<br />
loss of lung function (30% between 40 and 75 years)<br />
neurological damage,<br />
wrinkles<br />
osteoporosis<br />
reduced immunity<br />
declining hormones.<br />
<strong>Aging:</strong> is all the irreversible adverse changes altering the means by which an organization ensures its balance of biological, psychological, sociological.</p>
<p><strong>Pathological aging:</strong><br />
The musculoskeletal system (bones, muscles, joints):<br />
<strong>Bones #:</strong> 2 types of cells<br />
osteoblasts (bone building)<br />
osteoclasts (bone destroying)<br />
From 20 years age in a loss of bone mass (about 0.5% per year).<span id="more-375"></span><br />

Osteoporosis is related to the decrease in frame protein of bones (causing vertebral compression fractures, fractures of the femoral neck, wrists, &#8230;)<br />
<strong># Joints:</strong> to destroy due to aging U osteoarthritis causes pain, functional impairments, deformities.<br />
The best prevention is to monitor weight, remedy the problem of bone by physical therapy in relieving or pain (s), replacement of bone (osteoplasty).<br />
<strong># Muscles:</strong> there is loss of muscle mass.<br />
<strong>The nervous system:</strong><br />
There is a decrease in cerebral performance (difficulty of setting new situation, loss of memory, encoding, delay in the execution of actions, &#8230;)<br />

<strong>Pathologies:</strong> Mental confusion, dementia, (eg Alzheimer&#8217;s disease), depression, Parkinson&#8217;s disease, rigidity, tremor syndrome shift (48 hours evolving source of 90% of deaths), acute regression syndrome, &#8230;<br />
<strong>senses:</strong><br />
O Hearing: loss of hearing, presbycusis.<br />
N view: presbyopia, glaucoma (high blood pressure in the eye), cataract, AMD (Macular Degeneration Linked to Age), retinopathy (secondary diabetes).<br />
- Taste does not change with age.<br />
Smell: a little lost with age.<br />
I touch: becoming very important with age and changes a little.<br />
<strong>Cardiovascular:</strong><br />
There is risk or onset of hypertension, arteriosclerosis, cardiac arrhythmias, heart failure.<br />
<strong>Respiratory:</strong><br />
There is a loss of breathing capacity, risk of chronic bronchitis.<br />
<strong>renal Camera:</strong><br />
There are fewer nephrons, the risk of dehydration, drugs are toxic to benefit the body.<br />
<strong>Gastrointestinal:</strong><br />
There is a risk of stomach ulcers, decreased pancreatic function.<br />
<strong>glandular system:</strong><br />
The thyroid is sensitive to aging (hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism).<br />
<strong>hematopoietic Camera</strong><br />
Appearance of refractory anemia, chronic lymphocytic leukemia (for spontaneous evolution).<br />
<strong>Urogenital</strong><br />
In women:<br />
Ménaupose (sterility, stopping hormonal secretions),<br />
No rule,<br />
Flushing,<br />
Depressive state,<br />
Loss of feminization (hair larger and harder)<br />
Osteoporosis,<br />
Dryness of mucous membranes.<br />
In men:<br />
Prostate problem involving dysuria, urinary frequency of,<br />
Adenoma,<br />
Cancer.<br />
<strong>Precipitating causes:</strong><br />
Chutes &#038; # Malay (causes may include: seizures, causes cardiac syncope, orthostatic hypotension or external causes unknown).<br />
# Undernutrition.<br />
# Infections (prevention through immunization against tetanus, influenza cons against the pneumococcus).<br />
# Intoxication with alcohol, drugs, other toxic.<br />
# The social environment of the person. </p>
