Substance Use and Older People
ISBN: 9781119975380 / Angielski / Twarda / 424 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Substance use and addiction is an increasing problem amongst older people. The identification of this problem is often more difficult in older patients and is frequently missed, particularly in the primary care context and in emergency departments, but also in a range of medical and psychiatric specialties. Substance Use and Older People shows how to recognise and treat substance problems in older patients. However, it goes well beyond assessment and diagnosis by incorporating up-to-date evidence on the management of those older people who are presenting with chronic complex disorders, which...

Alzheimer's disease is a primary neurodegenerative disease whose incidence and prevalence is rapidly approaching epidemic proportions. A major reason for this is that man is living longer than he has ever lived before and the likelihood of contracting the disease is significantly greater within the elderly portion of the population. The problem becomes even more acute in the light of recent estimates which predict that the number of people living beyond the age of 65 is expected to continue to increase. The impact of these statistics on the family and the health care industry in terms of...

Handbook of Aging and Mental Health: An Integrative Approach
ISBN: 9781489901002 / Angielski / Miękka / 539 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. De cibo quod superest nobis sufficit; oportet gratias agere. 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...

Das Alter bietet Chancen und Entwicklungspotenziale, wie zum Beispiel die spate Freiheit, die Perspektiven eroffnet und ein erfulltes Leben ermoglicht. Die Schattenseiten des Alters aber sind Einschrankungen und Verluste im korperlichen und psychosozialen Bereich. Altwerden ist oft belastend und schwer zu ertragen. Die heute 70-Jahrigen sind im Durchschnitt geistig und korperlich zwar so fit wie die 60- bis 65- Jahrigen vor 30 Jahren. Tatsache ist aber auch, dass Krankheitsanfalligkeit und -haufigkeit nach dem Uberschreiten des 80. Lebensjahres zunehmen. Behinderungen in der...

ISBN: 9781468439311 / Angielski / Miękka / 385 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Approaching any task on aging brings a flood of images that are a personal repetition of what has been one of the greatest and most persistent concerns of mankind. Even restricting time to the past decade or so and approaching only the biomedical sciences, one still encounters a flood of information in this relatively young research area. The ories and ideas abound as though each researcher provides one of his own. This might well be expected; aging is an exceedingly complicated series of crossroads involving trails and even superhighways. Each specialist has a peephole (society, body, organ,...
