This term typically refers to memory impairment beyond what one would expect in individuals of a given age whose other abilities to function in...

Some elders have accepted this proposition, although seldom with enthu siasm. Gerontologists also have been burdened with the adage: "Leftovers are good enough for us, and we should be grateful for them." I remember how a clerk tried to palm off astale and cheap cigar to her octogenarian customer. He knew better and carne away with a far superior smoke. The clerk fumed, "What does he need a good cigar for? Who is he to be particular " In this and in many other ways, elders often have labored under the sociocultural expectation that...

Textbook of Men's Health and Aging
ISBN: 9780415425803 / Angielski / Twarda / 766 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The first edition of "Textbook of Men's Health" did much to establish and define the scope of the emerging subspecialty of aging men's health. This revised and updated edition, with new sections on basic sciences and sexual dysfunction, has a small but significant change of approach - reflected in the new title. The central mission of the new edition is to unpick normal physiologic aging in men from pathologic processes, eschewing any material that is routinely available in the standard textbooks of medicine and geriatrics in order to maintain a uniquely male perspective. This means...The first edition of "Textbook of Men's Health" did much to establish and define the scope of the emerging subspecialty of aging men's health. This... |

Moreover, emerging data suggest additional roles for telomerase in the regulation of cell...
