GOLDEN AGE!

When a person either man or woman's 50th birthday celebrates, but when it comes to the 65 no longer celebrated with the same enthusiasm because society begins to qualify as seniors, are those who are already retired, or already they retired, some live with their families, others live alone.

The truth is that reached old age. This process by which undoubtedly all human beings will happen if privilegedly even get to the 60-year-old is not an illness is a step by which naturally human being experiences personally and with different intensity, arrival to senescence.

It does not have to be traumatic. In many societies they are regarded as wise people, mature, experienced and worthy of confidence.

People who reach a certain age face physical, psychological and social problems arising from own biological age changes, and sometimes set very rigid, the ability to perform such a natural act like, eating or sleep daily.

In many cases, these problems can not be solved completely, but mitigate allowing an improvement in the quality of life.

Gerontology and geriatrics, sciences which together treat a patient seniors both in the psychological, social, economic and demographic aspects, such as physical illnesses, are limited because at the level of the governments of almost all countries world there is no effective policy to provide a better quality of life for older adults, who through their efforts have made society to progress positively despite major drawbacks.

Senior Adult, anthropic-social term, with which the population of people over 60 are collected, is synonymous with old age and old age. Whose living conditions are particularly difficult, as they quickly lose job opportunities, social activity and socialization skills, and often feel neglected and excluded.

In developed countries, mostly they enjoy better living standards, are subsidized by the state and have access to pensions, health guarantees and other benefits. This does not happen in countries with lower income or social development, so it is commendable to know that there are countries that grant work without discriminating by age where raw experience and ability.

The diseases associated with aging (Alzheimer's, arthritis, diabetes, cataracts, osteoporosis etc.) are the most common in developing countries than in the desarrolladlos, however the specialty of geriatrics is not very profitable for doctors, reason is limiting the number of professionals who perform specific people older treatments.

Senior Care in Mexico

What is Parkinson's disease?

Parkinson's disease is a degenerative disorder of the central nervous system that belongs to a group of conditions known as movement disorders. It is both chronic, meaning that persists for an extended period of time, and progressive, meaning its symptoms grow worse over time. As nerve cells (neurons) in parts of the brain are damaged or die, you can begin to notice problems with movement, tremors, stiffness in limbs or trunk, or balance problems. By becoming more pronounced these symptoms, people may have difficulty walking, talking or completing other simple tasks. If you have one or more of these symptoms it does not necessarily mean that you have Parkinson's disease, as symptoms appear in other diseases.

The exact cause of Parkinson's disease is unknown, although some cases are hereditary and can be caused by specific genetic mutations. However, most cases are sporadic, which means that the disease is usually not hereditary. It is believed that Parkinson's disease is the result of probably a combination of genetic susceptibility and exposure to one or more unknown environmental factors that trigger the disease.

Parkinson's disease is the most common form of parkinsonism, the name of a group of disorders with similar features and symptoms. While most forms of parkinsonism have no known cause, there are cases in which the cause is known or suspected or where symptoms are the result of another disorder.

At the moment there is no cure for Parkinson's disease, but continue to carry out investigations. Often medications or surgery can significantly improve motor symptoms.

What causes the disease?

Parkinson's disease occurs when damaged or dying nerve cells, or neurons, in the brain. Although many areas of the brain are affected, the most common symptoms are the result of the loss of neurons in an area near the base of the brain known as the substantia nigra. Normally, neurons in this area produce an important chemical in the brain called dopamine. Dopamine is a chemical messenger responsible for transmitting signals between the substantia nigra and the next "relay station" of the brain called the striatum, to produce smooth, deliberate movements. The loss of dopamine causes abnormal nerve firing patterns within the brain that cause impairment of movement. Studies show that most people with Parkinson have lost 60 to 80 percent or more of dopamine-producing cells in the substantia nigra in the time of onset of symptoms and also have loss of nerve endings produce the neurotransmitter norepinephrine. Norepinephrine is closely related to dopamine. It is the main chemical messenger of the sympathetic nervous system, the part of the nervous system that controls many of the body's automatic functions, such as pulse and blood pressure. The loss of norepinephrine might help explain several of the non-motor features seen in Parkinson's disease, including fatigue and abnormalities related to the regulation of blood pressure.

The affected brain cells of people with this disease contain Lewy bodies, which are deposits of alpha-synuclein protein. Researchers still do not know why Lewy bodies are formed or what role they play in disease. Some research suggests that, in people with Parkinson's disease, the removal system cell proteins can fail and cause the protein to accumulate to harmful levels triggering cell death. Other studies have found evidence that the masses of protein that develop inside brain cells of people with Parkinson's can contribute to the death of neurons. Some researchers speculate that accumulation of protein in Lewy bodies is part of a failed attempt to protect the cell toxicity of collections or smaller aggregates of synuclein.

HAPPY OLD AGE!

Living with family or friends is important to feel good, but the main relationship that we encourage is that we have with ourselves.

At each stage or life cycle it is essential that we want and feel happy. Therefore, the expert on aging, Solano Berrio newspaper published a document in Medellin, Colombia on the importance of enjoying the elderly. Chek out!

1. Enjoy the company and receiving affection; not think it is charity or compassion.

2. Be happy; the fact of being elderly does not mean you are angry or serious.

3. Feel self-realized, to reach this age.

4. Having more than 60 years does not mean that you can not work. Do any activity that makes you feel productive.

5. Exit the theater or cinema; You do not have to stay home forever.

Remember that something very important is the attitude we take before the events of life. To reach old age is not bad, or boring, or creates a nuisance to others. Who loves you, he will at all times.

Enjoy all that live; relive your experiences and not isolate yourself. Smiling, greatly improves your quality of life.

RELATIONSHIP GRANDPARENTS - GRANDCHILDREN!

The role of grandparents in the family is changing. One of the problems that alter the relationship between grandparents and parents of their grandchildren is the application of limits. In many cases, it is very difficult for both parties to reach a consensus. On the one hand, there are the grandparents, from your experience, do not agree with the ideas of the younger; and the other parents who do not accept the interference of grandparents in the education of your child are.

In any case, having a grandparent about his grandson is encouraging in every way. Although everything is not perfect, grandparents can play many roles:

- Contribute its experience in times of family crisis, both in the psychological sense, as in the economic, if possible and necessary.
- Taking care of children when parents can not. That's beneficial for children and for grandparents because they will feel more useful, more considerate and more valued.
- To contribute to the balance of time at home for their children, picking up the kids at school, or staying with them some night so parents can go out freely.
- Transmit family values and maintain the link between generations. The stories of family love children, and contribute to their psychological development.
- Assist in education, interfering with communication between parents and children. Trying to appease both sides.
- Support the father or the mother divorced. They can supply advice and care in the absence of the other.
- Learning with their grandchildren, closer to the new generations. Learning to use the computer, for example.

CAUSES OF DEAFNESS!

The famous deafness in the elderly is caused by natural hearing loss that occurs with aging; this condition is called presbycusis in medicine. Presbycusis is a multifactorial disease characterized by progressive loss of hearing in both ears throughout life. This hearing loss usually affects the high frequencies of hearing.

Hearing loss has a huge impact on the quality of life for millions of elderly individuals, and is becoming an increasingly common condition as the population ages.

Hearing loss becomes more common as the individual grows older. About 11% of patients between 44 and 54 already have some hearing loss. This percentage increases to 25% among people aged 55 to 65 years and reaches almost 50% of the population over 70 years.

It is believed that heredity and chronic exposure to loud noises are the main factors that contribute to hearing loss over time.

Other factors can also speed hearing loss throughout life including:

1- Use of toxic substances in the ears, like:
• aminoglycoside antibiotics class in high doses.
•Chemotherapy.
• Chronic use of aspirin.
• Chronic use of anti-inflammatories.
• Sildenafil (Vi**ra).
•Cocaine.
• Chloroquine.
• poisoning by heavy metals such as mercury, lead and arsenic.

2 infections:
• Otitis media.
• viral Cocleitis.
•Meningitis.

3- smoking.
4- Hypertension.
5- Diabetes.

We have safe and adequate facilities to provide the best care, in addition to providing 24-hour services with highly qualified personnel. We know the importance to serve with quality, respect and responsibility for this reason our house is located in a prime residential area.

THANKS TO LIFE!

Thanks to life, which has given me so much
gave me two eyes that when I open
Perfect distinguish black from white
And in the sky above, her starry background
And in the multitudes the man I love

Thanks to life, which has given me so much
It has given me the ear across its width
Every night and day
Crickets and canaries, Hammers and turbines
Bricks and storms
And the tender voice of my well loved

Thanks to life, which has given me so much
It has given me sound and the alphabet
In the words that I think and declare:
Mother, friend, brother and light shining
The route of the soul from which comes love

Thanks to life, which has given me so much
It has given me the march of my tired feet
With them I have traversed cities and puddles
Beaches and deserts, mountains and plains
And your house, your street and your patio

Thanks to life, which has given me so much
He gave me the heart waving your frame
When I look at the fruit of the human brain
When I look good so far from bad
When I look at the bottom of your eyes clear

Thanks to life, which has given me so much
It has given me laughter and it has given me tears
So I distinguish happiness and grief
The two materials that form my song
And your song, which is the same song
And the song of all that is my own song
