Understanding Delirium: Malaz Boustani, M.D.

Joseph Galati - noemail@yourhealthfirst.com — Sun, 08 Jan 2012 15:00:00 GMT

This week, Dr. Malaz Boustani from Indiana University will be joining Dr. Joe Galati to discuss recent advances in the understanding and management of delirium.

At least seven million hospitalized Americans suffer from delirium each year, however the condition goes unrecognized in more than 60 percent of patients. Even if diagnosed, there is no effective way to treat the condition, which is a growing concern to medical professionals

Delirium is a state of confusion in which the individual has undergone a sudden alteration of mental status. Delirium is not dementia, but individuals with dementia are more susceptible to developing delirium during hospitalization than individuals without dementia.

Many drugs frequently prescribed to older adults for a variety of common medical conditions including allergies, hypertension, asthma and cardiovascular disease appear to negatively affect the aging brain causing delirium.

"Having delirium prolongs the length of a hospital stay, increases the risk of post-hospitalization transfer to a nursing home, doubles the risk of death, and increases the vulnerability to Alzheimer's disease. We as a scientific community need to commit our research effort to protect the brains of older adults from the burden of delirium and set a goal of reducing the delirium burden by half within the next two decades," said Dr. Malaz Boustani, Regenstrief Institute investigator and IU School of Medicine associate professor of medicine.

Joseph Galati - noemail@yourhealthfirst.com — Sun, 04 Dec 2011 22:00:00 GMT

The obesity epidemic in America is out of control. More adults than ever meet the criteria for obesity, and we are now finding that our children are growing into an obese lifestyle similar to their parents. Obesity is related to a number of factors which include poor dietary choices with the intake of foods high in fat, salt, and sugar, as well as a lack of vigorous physical activity. We are at a point now in our country, where the cost of dealing with obesity related medical conditions is enough to bankrupt our healthcare system. The health care costs associated with the management and treatment of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, stroke, and the orthopedic problems related to

obesity are staggering. Every week, we stressed the importance of developing good dietary habits as well as the need to increase our physical activity.

This week, Dr. Galati he will be joined by Cari Shoemake and Carrie Barnhart who are experts in the field of physical training. They both run Bombshell Bootcamp, located in Houston Texas. They will discuss on the program various strategies to increase your physical activity through a variety of routine.

Personal trainer's, once thought of for only the wealthy, is now much more common place. At home workout routine found on the Internet or on DVD's, are equally popular.

Tonight, J im Murphy, one of Golf Magazines Top 100 Instructors, will be joining Dr. Galati in a discussion of why golf should be considered to be part of your regular exercise routine.

Jim has had the fortune of being around the greatest instructors in the game from the first time he touched a golf club. Growing up in Chicago Illinois his father was a member of Exmoor Country Club where Jim Hardy was the Head Golf Professional and introduced Jim to the game. Jim learned a tremendous amount from Hardy and another junior member at Exmoor Hank Haney, who quickly became a good friends and mentors to him. Hardy and Haney were involved with John Jacobs, the great teacher from England, and Murphy was very fortunate to watch Jacobs fix ball flighter faster than anyone he had ever seen.

With these influences on his game and his life Jim’s game quickly improved to a point where he was competitive on the junior and amateur levels.

This holiday season, think in terms of health. I have selected some of the best health related gifts that would have mass appeal, and certainly kick start someone to think seriously about better health. Spend your hard earned money on a gift that will make in impact on a loved ones health and well being. Heart Rate Monitors A day does not go by where I do not recommend a heart rate monitor to a patient of mine. Why? It keeps us all honest as we exercise. For years it has been shown that the intensity at which you exercise is proportional to the effect exercise will have on your metabolism. Patients regularly tell me they exercise almost daily, but on further explaination, it's a lazy stroll with the 10 year old beagle. Forget it. I would not count that as exercise for a minute. A heart rate monitor will keep track of your heart rate, and guide you as to whether you need to step it up or slow it down, aiming for the all important target heart rate, calculated as 80% of your maximum...
