Cancer in the Lives of Older Americans: Blessings and Battles
ISBN: 9780812241433 / Angielski / Twarda / 120 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) The "oldest old," individuals aged 85 and above, are the most rapidly growing segment of American society. And although more than a third of cancer occurs in people over 75 years of age, their tumors are less fully diagnosed and often less fully treated than those in younger patients. Ageism may account for this discrepancy--why intervene if an older man or woman with cancer doesn't have long to live anyway? Yet older people often tolerate chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation as well as younger patients, while continuing to maintain their quality of life for years to come. The lack...

ISBN: 9780898388831 / Angielski / Twarda / 386 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Cardiovascular drug therapy has markedly progressed in the recent decades. Not only have new drugs been introduced to clinical practice, but new classes of drugs have been developed. While in 1960 the practicing cardiolo- gist had a selection of about only ten drugs, in 1987 about 150 drugs are routinely used in cardiovascular diseases. Elderly patients, however, usually do not enjoy the full benefit of this progress. This might be due to lack of knowledge, a conservative approach, or the worldwide tendency not to try new drugs in the elderly. It is now clear that the majority of patients...
