о пользе и вреде бета-блокаторов

-
Если лечите годами бета-блокатором от артериальной гипертензии, контроль давления получается, но у пациента брадикардитические реакции и пресинкопе, может стоит подумать, что препарат давно следовало сменить.
Здесь речь уже не о пользе и вреде бета-блокаторов, но о гибкости доктора, его следовании изменениям здоровья пациента, руководству этими изменениями. В точном соответствии с главным условием врачебных вмешательств - не вреди.

Menopause Is Not a Gumboil: Answering Clinical Misunderstandings in Light of Medscape

-
Image
Menopause is one of the major physiological stages in a woman’s life, as natural as childhood, adulthood and old age. It marks the end of reproductive function, but not the end of health, agency or dignity. Yet in contemporary medicine, menopause is often treated as a problem to be fixed rather than a normal biological transition to be understood. Recently, a Medscape article on the “hidden burdens” of menopause presented a detailed catalogue of new symptom clusters and proposed multiple interventions . It is a useful clinical document, but it raises a deeper question: are we still thinking about menopause itself as a physiological period in a woman’s life, or have we begun to treat the life stage as a disease? In this essay, we argue that menopause and postmenopause are physiological stages. Good clinical practice must start from this fact. Only on this basis can we distinguish genuine disease from the ordinary signs of a life stage, avoid misdiagnosis, and use hormone therapy and ...

Two Sides of Frailty: Vulnerability, Compensation, and a Consciousness-Centered Medicine of Aging

-

Why This Book Must Be Written Modern science has learned to describe the aging body with extraordinary precision. It can measure inflammation, vascular stiffness, mitochondrial dysfunction, sarcopenia, osteoporosis, sleep disruption, cognitive slowing, frailty, disability, and mortality. It has identified mechanisms that increase vulnerability, created therapies that prevent suffering, restored function after illness, and extended human life. These achievements are indispensable. This book is not written against physiology, geroscience, geriatrics, frailty research, rehabilitation, neuroscience, or medicine. It is written because their common organization of thought remains incomplete. Contemporary aging science commonly places aging physiology at the center and consciousness at the periphery. It begins with the body: cells, tissues, organs, metabolism, inflammation, vessels, muscles, neural networks, biomarkers, disease burden, functional decline, and risk of death. Only later does it...

The Excellence of My Age

  The Excellence of My Age I am seventy‑six and a half, retired for a long time, and I feel that I have reached a new kind of excellence in my life. Every day, age sends me its gifts in the form of changes in my body and mind. I do not meet them with fear; I meet them with interest. I watch what happens in my physical and mental dimensions and I study these changes as I would study any complex system. In earlier years, when something related to my health appeared, it demanded strong cognitive effort. I had to think hard: What is happening? What does it mean? Is it dangerous? Today the situation is much better. I now understand why these things happen. I carry in my mind many answers, built from decades in medicine and from observing my own aging. Because I know the causes, aging is not only a series of problems; it has become a field of personal research. You may feel, reading these words, that I am offending you by speaking too directly about decline, loss, or the realities of a...
