Dementia : Dementia is a serious loss of global cognitive ability in a previously unimpaired person, beyond what might be expected from normal aging.
Cholinesterase inhibitors (donepezil)are often used early in the disease course; however, benefit is slight. Cognitive and behavioral interventions may also be appropriate. Educating and providing emotional support to the caregiver is of importance as well elderly care. Exercise programs are beneficial with respect to activities of daily living and potentially improve
Infertility : Infertility is fundamentally the inability to conceive offspring. Infertility also refers to the state of a woman who is unable to carry a pregnancy to full term.
Treatment depends on the cause of infertility, but may include counselling, fertility treatments, which include in vitro fertilization. Drugs used for women include Clomiphene citrate, Human menopausal gonadotropin, Follicle-stimulating hormone, Human chorionic gonadotropin, Gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogs, Aromatase inhibitor, Metformin.
Osteoarthritis : Osteoarthritis also called Degenerative joint disease, OA, Osteoarthrosis . Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disorder, which is due to aging and wear and tear on a joint. Osteoarthritis is a normal result of aging. It is also caused by "wear and tear" on a joint.
• Cartilage is the firm, rubbery tissue that cushions your bones at the joints, and allows bones to glide over one another.
• If the cartilage breaks down and wears away, the bones rub together. This causes pain, swelling, and stiffness.
• Bony spurs or extra bone may form around the joint. The ligaments and muscles around the joint become weaker and stiffer.
Symptoms
Pain and stiffness in the joints are the most common symptoms. The pain is often worse after exercise and when you put weight or pressure on the joint.
MEDICATIONS
Over-the-counter pain relievers, which you can buy without a prescription, can help with OA symptoms. Most doctors recommend acetaminophen (Tylenol) first, because it has fewer side effects than other drugs. If your pain continues, your doctor may recommend nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Types of NSAIDs include aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen.
Other medications or supplements that you may use include:
• Corticosteroids injected right into the joint to reduce swelling and pain
• Over-the-counter remedies such as glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate
• Capsaicin (Zostrix) skin cream to relieve pain
• Artificial joint fluid (Synvisc, Hyalgan) can be injected into the knee to relieve pain for 3 - 6 months
Hyperthyroidism : Hyperthyroidism is a condition in which an overactive thyroid gland is producing an excessive amount ofthyroid hormones that circulate in the blood. ("Hyper" means "over" in Greek). Thyrotoxicosis is a toxic condition that is caused by an excess of thyroid hormones from any cause. Thyrotoxicosis can be caused by an excessive intake of thyroid hormone or by overproduction of thyroid hormones by the thyroid gland.
TREATMENT
Treatment depends on the cause and the severity of symptoms. Hyperthyroidism is usually treated with one or more of the following:
• Antithyroid medications
• Radioactive iodine to destroy the thyroid gland and stops the excess production of hormones
• Surgery to remove the thyroid
Medicines called beta-blockers may be prescribed to treat symptoms such as fast heart rate, sweating, and anxiety until the hyperthyroidism can be controlled.
