Book Synopsis Envejecimiento poblacional y el reto de la dependencia by : María-Teresa Bazo
Download or read book Envejecimiento poblacional y el reto de la dependencia written by María-Teresa Bazo and published by Nau Llibres. This book was released on 2012 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El siglo XX ha sido testigo del descenso drástico de las tasas de mortalidad, que junto con la disminución de las de natalidad ha llevado al surgimiento de un fenómeno inédito en la historia de la humanidad, como es el proceso de envejecimiento de la población. Es lo que desde Naciones Unidas se ha denominado una revolución silenciosa. El siglo XXI puede ser --lo está siendo desde finales del pasado-- el siglo de la longevidad, al prolongarse cada vez más la esperanza de vida no sólo al nacimiento sino también entre los grupos de edad más elevada, como los octogenarios, nonagenarios y centenarios. Grupos que crecen a mayor ritmo que los de edades más jóvenes. Esta situación plantea interrogantes y temores sobre el futuro de los sistemas de pensiones y de salud y servicios sociales, y urge analizar sus consecuencias con rigor, sin alarmismos, con espíritu solidario y con gozo, por vivir en un momento en que no sólo no se mueren los niños tempranamente, sino que hasta las tasas de mortalidad en los grupos avanzados se ralentizan. Hay que hacer frente a los nuevos desafíos con un espíritu y mente nuevos. En el libro se analizan distintas cuestiones relativas al envejecimiento de la población desde el punto de vista teórico y de la investigación, algunas de sus consecuencias, y estrategias familiares y sociales para afrontar la dependencia en la edad avanzada, ciertas cuestiones socio-sanitarias cuya mejora es imprescindible, y la necesidad de dar voz y poder a las propias personas mayores para que se impliquen decididamente en la resolución de sus propios problemas, el principal de los cuales puede ser la falta de valoración social de los grupos de más edad, y la todavía existencia de estereotipos negativos en las percepciones sociales.
Book Synopsis The Future of Long-Term Care by : Pablo Villalobos Dintrans
Download or read book The Future of Long-Term Care written by Pablo Villalobos Dintrans and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Population aging is challenging countries around the globe to adapt their public policy responses to the new world. Long-term care is a relevant topic today both because of the rapid growth in long-term care needs in every country and the lack of responses from governments. The Future of Long-term Care explores some issues related to the implementation of long-term care responses in different countries. Looking at six different cases, the book highlights the need to foster an urgent debate in the area, as well as emphasizing the need for action in the coming years. The examples analyzed show common problems faced by countries trying to respond to their people's needs, as well as the dissimilar stages, contexts, and paths followed by each one in the endeavour for providing long-term care services to the population. Whether the analysis is carried out in countries with well-established long-term care systems or in places where the debate is just starting, the book proves that this is an area in which many challenges remain. Learning lessons from others is important but providing a space for countries to frame their problems and propose their solutions is crucial. This book contributes to fill this gap and contribute to a debate that is just starting in many places around the world"--

Book Synopsis Engineering the System of Healthcare Delivery by : William B. Rouse
Download or read book Engineering the System of Healthcare Delivery written by William B. Rouse and published by IOS Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The US healthcare system has many excellent components; strong scientific input, extraordinary technology for diagnosis and treatment, dedicated staff and top-class facilities among them. But the system has evolved haphazardly over time and although it has not failed entirely, the authors argue that like any system where attention, is paid to individual components at the expense of the system as a whole, it can never hope to succeed. Above all, they point out that the US system does not provide high value healthcare; it has the highest costs in the world and yet many other countries have lower infant mortality rates and better life expectancy. --

Book Synopsis Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment by : Alberto Pilotto
Download or read book Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment written by Alberto Pilotto and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-12-29 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers an up-to-date review on the principles and practice of multidimensional assessment and management of the older individual, which represents the cornerstone of modern clinical practice in the elderly. The early chapters cover the main elements and scope of the comprehensive geriatric approach and explain the pathways of care from screening and case finding through to in-depth assessment and treatment planning. Subsequent chapters review the evidence of how best to apply the multidimensional assessment and management approach in defined healthcare settings and within specific clinical areas, such as cancer and surgery. Finally, the education and training challenges are reviewed and the prospects for future clinical service and research in this important field are examined. The book is very timely given the recent advances in application of this approach, which reflect the growing international realization that older people are “core business” in many clinical areas where the role of specialist geriatric medicine has hitherto been limited. Accordingly, the book will be relevant to a wide range of clinicians. The authorship comprises many of the best known and widely published experts in their respective fields.
Book Synopsis Leisure experiences, opportunities and contributions to human development by : María Jesús Monteagudo
Download or read book Leisure experiences, opportunities and contributions to human development written by María Jesús Monteagudo and published by Universidad de Deusto. This book was released on 2018-04-14 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The new human development paradigm rests on the human and cultural capital of peoples and revolves around the challenge of increasing the well-being and happiness of people. Therefore, leisure understood in today’s societies as one of the key means to feel good, satisfied with life and reaffirmed in the pursuit of a meaning for life, seems to be ultimately called to play a key role in promoting human development processes. The contents of this book are a good proof of it. Each chapter focuses on a different approach, discipline or group and highlights the potential of leisure experiences for human development. This book is an invitation to reflection and thought on issues that, far from being irrelevant, have a bearing on people's future, in terms of happiness, well-being and quality of life. It is everyone’s responsibility to ensure that future leisure develops under the guidelines of a leisure that contributes to human development.

Book Synopsis Cancer Plasticity and the Microenvironment: Implications for Immunity and Therapy Response by : Petranel T. Ferrao
Download or read book Cancer Plasticity and the Microenvironment: Implications for Immunity and Therapy Response written by Petranel T. Ferrao and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2019-11-01 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cancer cells can change and adapt, especially within the host environment; a phenomenon known as cancer plasticity. Several factors, including the immune system can influence, and be influenced by, cancer plasticity which in turn can impact upon patient responses to treatment. As such, we currently face several challenges for implementing combination therapies as effective cancer treatment strategies. We have compiled a topic with a number of articles that emphasize the various aspects of cancer plasticity, describing in particular the important role of the tumor microenvironment. As we embark on a new era of precision medicine with multi-modal therapies for improving patient outcomes, this topic highlights some relevant points for consideration that are pertinent to the incorporation and effective use of new treatments as part of cancer treatment regimens, including immune-modulating drugs.

Book Synopsis Tackling Chronic Disease in Europe by : Reinhard Busse
Download or read book Tackling Chronic Disease in Europe written by Reinhard Busse and published by WHO Regional Office Europe. This book was released on 2010 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chronic conditions and diseases are the leading cause of mortality and morbidity in Europe, accounting for 86% of total premature deaths, and research suggests that complex conditions such as diabetes and depression will impose an even greater health burden in the future - and not only for the rich and elderly in high-income countries, but increasingly for the poor as well as low- and middle-income countries. The epidemiologic and economic analyses in the first part of the book suggest that policy-makers should make chronic disease a priority. This book highlights the issues and focuses on the strategies and interventions that policy-makers have at their disposal to tackle this increasing challenge. Strategic discussed in the second part of this volume include (1) prevention and early detection, (2) new provider qualifications (e.g. nurse practitioners) and settings, (3) disease management programmes and (4) integrated care models. But choosing the right strategies will be difficult, particularly given the limited evidence on effectiveness and cost-effectiveness. In the third part, the book therefore outlines and discusses institutional and organizational challenges for policy-makers and managers: (1) stimulating the development of new effective pharmaceuticals and medical devices, (2) designing appropriate financial incentives, (3) improving coordination, (4) using information and communication technology, and (5) ensuring evaluation. To tackle these challenges successfully, key policy recommendations are made.
