Resources of the Modern Medicine in the Third Age

The researches with the advanced technology of the aging processes have been allowing in the last fifty years, that new theories have appeared to explain the same ones, in such a way that measured effective of prevention now can be adopted.

The theories of the free radicals proposal by Harmam in 1956 and the theory of the glicação of the proteins explain all practically at the present time of the known aging processes.

1-Develop theories of the free radicals.
2-Develop theory of the glicação of the proteins.

Knowledge of the external factors in the lifestyle in the cellular aging have also been increasing extremely important data, allowing of that also sorts things out, that measured of prevention are assumed, such as the aging, the effects of the tobacco, the excess of alcoholic drink.

The advanced physics, the this-chemistry, electronic microscopic, the techniques using the radioimunoensaio facilitated the techniques of study of the components of the organism, favoring a larger understanding of the physiologic processes unmasking, therefore the cellular physiology and this way enlarging the horizons in the understanding of the operation of the fabrics, organs and system and the integration of the same ones. Nowadays already is known or it knows the relationship among the nervous system, the immunological and endocrine system.

The coming of the advanced technology of the diagnostic means through the x-ray, ultrasound scan. tomography, magnetic resonance, has been facilitating the precocious diagnosis of the diseases that previously were only diagnosed in irreversible phase. The synthesis of new salts and composed beginning, essentially after The Second World War, with the mark of the discovery of the penicillin by Alexandre Fleming made to open a new wolrd era in the treatment of the infectious diseases for the use of agents that denominated specific antibiotics and chemotherapeutic. Fact that explains on way, evidently ally to other new technologies the largest hope of the man's life in the face of the earth, even in the countries more poor of the Third world, said in development, as ours. On this Third Millennium the prevention has been taking a special aspect contributing vastly to maintenance of the health in all your fullness, as for the defined World Organization of Health a state of well to be physical and psychic.

Besides the vaccination measures for the Third Age the modern science points the following ones preventive.

Resources of the Modern Medicine in the Third Age

1- The knowledge of the aging processes.
a) Theory of the free radicals.
b) Theory of the glicação of the proteins.

2-Knowledge of the external factors of lifestyle:

Tobbaco, sedentarismo, alcoholic drink in excess, solar irradiation.

3- Knowledge of techniques of advanced physics, histoquímica, radioimunoensaio, electronic microscopy.

4- Knowledge of the integration of the several systems of the organism.

5- Advent of the advanced technology:
X-ray, ultrasonografia, echo-doppler, computerized tomography, magnetic resonance.

6- Synthesis of new salts and chemical substances - the antibiotic.

7- Prevention - In the third millennium:

- Vaccination;
- Physical activity;
- Balanced feeding with reduction of refined carbohydrates;
- Hormonal replacement;
- Antioxidant;
- Clinical evaluation and lab routine ;
- Reduce the stress;
- Healthy habits - avoiding caffeine excess, alcohol, sugar, sweet and cigarette.
