Late-life disorders presenting with weakness often have a delay in diagnosis leading to decreased quality of life and impairment of mobility. Myasthenia gravis is an immune disorder affecting the neuromuscular junction resulting in varying levels of weakness in the orbital, bulbar, and limb muscles. The evaluation of weakness in the elderly should be geared toward treatable and reversible causes s...... hiện toàn bộ
Assessment of Geriatric Trauma: Special ConsiderationsCurrent Geriatrics Reports - Tập 3 - Trang 122-127 - 2014
Gudrun E. Mirick, Jennifer H. Wood
The incidence of geriatric trauma continues to rise as patients live longer and stay active for a longer length of time. The longer life span unfortunately brings with it an increased risk of injury, predominantly due to the elderly person being unable to correctly physiologically compensate for trauma. This decreased compensation is a result of multiple anatomic and physiological factors. Appropr...... hiện toàn bộ
