    Lou Gehrig's Disease (ALS)

    Medical history has been filled with an array of diseases and illnesses, ranging from the common cold to deadly killers. Some are easily treatable and others can be terminal, but some of the worst are those that still remain without a cure; one such disease is amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease or ALS for short, is a progressive degeneration of the motor neurons of the central nervous system, leading to wasting of the muscles and paralysis. It is called Lou Gehrig’s disease because it wasn 't really heard of until the famous baseball player of the New York Yankees made his speech about how he had been diagnosed with ALS.…

    Incremental Anyalsis

    Incremental analysis is a vital tool for decision-making. It can become an identifier of the best alternative when multiple options are present. Incremental analysis involves relevant costs and ignores sunk costs. It is based on the differences of revenues and costs. Cost information, which would be relevant for a decision to drop a product line, would be the direct fixed costs associated with that product line. Avoidable costs or costs that can be eliminated should be assessed additionally. Change in income should also be considered before making a final decision.…

    Charles: an Elder Interview About the Aging Process and Health Care

    After spending an afternoon interviewing my elderly father-in-law, I gained insight into how he perceives the aging process and the impact on the quality of his life. First, and foremost he viewed aging in a very positive and healthy manner. He believes that a positive attitude assists in accepting physical and psychosocial changes and enjoyed the fact that he and his wife are both physically fit and cognitively alert. He felt confident that advances made in health care and the quality of their lives would continue to be empowering. He enjoys the benefits of being a senior citizen including discounted travel, free education, and other incentives marketed towards seniors. He expressed a sense of well-being with respect to the numerous housing options geared towards the graying population, such as Retirement Villages, and assisted living. However, the subjects of Long Term Care, Social security reform and government involvement in health care reform were subjects he regarded with very strong negative emotions. During the interview these issues as related to his experiences with health care were discussed with zeal and frustration.…

    3 Dementia

    Person centred care is about caring for the person, rather than the illness. Person-centred caring is about maintaining the persons dignity. It's about learning what things the patient responds well to, and treating them like a human being. Person-centred care involves tailoring a person's care to their interests, abilities, history and personality. This helps them to take part in the things they enjoy and can be an effective way of preventing and managing behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia. The key points of person-centred care are:…

    Aging and Disabilities

    * What is the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA)? How does the ADEA address issues for the aging population? The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) of 1967 was passed by Congress as part of its broad legislative attack on employment discrimination in the 1960s and 1970s. Concerned with incidents of age bias in the workplace, Congress enacted the Age Discrimination in Employment Act as an amendment to the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938. ADEA prohibit age based discrimination in employment decisions, benefit programs, and retirement plans. ADEA address issues for the aging by making it illegal to fail or refuse to hire or to get rid of an individual or discriminate against them with the respect to their compensation, terms, conditions or privileges of employment.…

Over the years, I have developed excellent socializing skills that assist me to provide an excellent experience for those around me.

    telomerase

    According to a research done by a team of researchers at the University of Texas, An evaluation of cell lines from 18 different human tissues revealed the presence of telomerase in 98 of the 100 immortal cell lines, telomerase was not found in any of the 22 mortal cell lines.Telomeres is a repeated DNA sequence(TTAGGG) found at the ends of linear chromosomes that protect the ends of the chromosome from degradation, or telomere can be defined as DNA sequences found at the ends of eukaryotic chromosomes which maintain the fidelity of genetic information during replication. At birth as determined by terminal restriction fragment analysis, telomeres consist of about 15,000 base pairs of repeated TTAGGG DNA sequences, which become shorter with each cell division owing to the end replication problem. Every time a cell divides it loses 25-200 DNA base pairs off the chromosomes. It is possible that mortality stage 1 may be induced by the activation of genes located in the immediately subtelomeric region of the chromosomes.The second is the mortality stage 2 which represent the physiological result of critically short telomeres when cells are no longer able to protect the ends of the chromosomes, so that the end degradation and end to end fusion occurs and causes genomic instability and cell death). While researching on a topic like this, couple of important questions came to mind, so I made effort to research and address some of these questions which might be considered important. One of such questions is why do telomeres shorten? the mechanism of DNA replication is different in linear chromosomes is different for each of the two strands, known as leading and lagging strands. the lagging strand is made as series of discrete fragment, each one requiring a new RNA primer to initiate synthesis. the DNA between the last RNA priming event and end of the chromosome cannot be filled in.{this process is known as the end replication problem} since a strand cannot copy its end,…

    The thermal profile shown in Figure 4.5 has been used for test boards CCA010-018 and CCA 073-081 in order to experimentally determine solder joint reliability in various electronic packages in harsh environments, -55°C to 125°C. This temperature range is used for military and defence companies and is deemed “harsh environment” for electronic packaging. This cycle starts at room temperature (25°C) and has a 30 minutes dwell at the extreme temperatures of -55°C and 125°C and the ramp rate is 3°C/min from the hot extreme to the cold extreme, and 4°C/min. from the cold extreme to the…

    Old Age Home

    Life expectancy is steadily increasing, but cities are no longer safe nor friendly neighbors a certainty. Alternative housing for the aged is a practical lifestyle solution that developers are now ready to provide. The fading joint family system in India and other innumerable factors have given rise to west-inspired phenomena of old age homes. Surprising cost of living and scanty return on savings have almost pushed these senior citizens on roads. Such an act has triggered the security net of the helpless, which has almost vanished in many states in India with Kerala topping the list. Elders have started walking out of their own home in search of a journey that promises peace, joy and celebration of life with a group of people who share the same boat of life (the wrecked one). However not may rather none of them receive it. A growing number of financially independent senior citizens now prefer to stay in retirement resorts instead of languishing in the quintessential old-age homes that they feel are “overcrowded” and “unsafe”. Also Insecurity, loneliness and lack of companionship — some of life’s hard-toswallow problems — become a daily reality for these elderly persons whose children either settle abroad, or in some other state, for better career opportunities. The concept of retirement resorts or complexes is gradually emerging as the most viable option among the senior members of society who are financially independent. They want to live with dignity and, above all, want to be secure. Townships and residential colonies exclusively for senior citizens are now coming up in the state where they can relocate and spend the sunset of their lives without bothering about paying electricity bills, cooking and getting prompt medical care. It is this combination of physical and emotional satisfaction that today’s retirement homes strive to provide. From an era where old-age homes were synonymous with charitable institutions…
