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 Evaluation gériatrique standardisée courte by : Rivière Hélène
Download or read book Evaluation gériatrique standardisée courte written by Rivière Hélène and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les patients âgés entrant aux les urgences sont proportionnellement plus souvent hospitalisés et leur durée de séjour est souvent plus longue. Il est nécessaire de repérer de façon précoce les sujets âgés à risque d'hospitalisation prolongée afin de limiter les effets secondaires. Une Evaluation Gériatrique Standardisée courte (EGS-C) en 6 items a été utilisé dès les urgences. L'objectif était d'évaluer le caractère prédictif de l'EGS-C à 6-items pour la durée d'hospitalisation chez les patients en court séjour et la contribution de chaque item dans la prédiction de la durée d'hospitalisation. Les résultats obtenus avec l'EGS-C à 6 items étaient faible, le nombre items a donc été augmenté à 10. 993 patients de plus de 80 ans ont été inclus dans une étude prospective monocentrique. L'EGS-C à 10 items comprenait l'âge 85ans, le sexe masculin, la prise de 5 traitements et plus quotidiennement, utilisation de psychotropes, antécédents de chute dans les 6mois, désorientation temporelle, pathologies aigues (insuffisance d'organe aigue et motif d'admission) et les variables environnementales (lieu de vie et utilisation d'aide à domiciles). Le modèle des réseaux neuronaux a été appliqué pour les 10 items, avec les perceptrons multicouches (MLP) et les MLP modifiés. Les performances prédictives étaient: sensibilité (62.7%), spécificité (96.6%), VPP (87.0%), VPN (87.5%) et aire sous la courbe ROC (90.5) selon MLP modifiés. L'état de santé contribuait à 51.3%, les items démographiques à 21.6% à la durée d'hospitalisation prolongée selon MLP modifiés. Les performances de l'EGS-C à 10 items étaient supérieures mais demeuraient insuffisantes pour constituer un outil de décision.
Book Synopsis The Cognitive Neuropsychology of Language (Psychology Revivals) by : Max Coltheart
Download or read book The Cognitive Neuropsychology of Language (Psychology Revivals) written by Max Coltheart and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2013-12-19 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Damage to the brain can impair language in many different ways, severely harming some linguistic functions whilst sparing others. To achieve some understanding of the apparently bewildering diversity of language disorders, it is necessary to interpret impaired linguistic performance by relating it to a model of normal linguistic performance. Originally published in 1987, this book describes the application of such models of normal language processing to the interpretation of a wide variety of linguistic disorders. It deals with both the production and the comprehension of language, with language at both the sentence and the single-word level, with written as well as with spoken language and with acquired as well as with developmental disorders.

Book Synopsis Sickle Cell Pain by : Samir K. Ballas
Download or read book Sickle Cell Pain written by Samir K. Ballas and published by Lippincott Williams & Wilkins. This book was released on 2015-06-01 with total page 1004 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sickle Cell Pain is a panoramic, in-depth exploration of every scientific, human, and social dimension of this cruel disease. This comprehensive, definitive work is unique in that it is the only book devoted to sickle cell pain, as opposed to general aspects of the disease. The 752-page book links sickle cell pain to basic, clinical, and translational research, addressing various aspects of sickle pain from molecular biology to the psychosocial aspects of the disease. Supplemented with patient narratives, case studies, and visual art, Sickle Cell Pain’s scientific rigor extends through its discussion of analgesic pharmacology, including abuse-deterrent formulations. The book also addresses in great detail inequities in access to care, stereotyping and stigmatization of patients, the implications of rapidly evolving models of care, and recent legislation and litigation and their consequences.

Download or read book Evaluation gériatrique standardisée courte à dix-items written by Amélie Lanoë and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Repérer précocément les patients âgés à risque d'hospitalisations prolongées est un objectif à atteindre afin d'adapter le système de santé au vieillissement de la population. Objectif: Evaluer les performances de l'évaluation gériatrique standardisée courte (EGS-c) à 10 items dans la prédiction des hospitalisations prolongées à partir des urgences. Méthode: Cette étude de cohorte observationnelle et prospective a inclus 2370 patients de 70 ans et plus, hospitalisés dans l'Unité d'Hospitalisation de Courte Durée (UHCD) du CHU d'Angers entre le 1er janvier 2012 et le 31 décembre 2013. L' EGS-c 10-items mesurait les variables suivantes: âge ≥ 85 ans, sexe masculin, consommation d'au moins 5 médicaments par jour, de psychotrope, antécédent de chute, désorientation temporelle, présence d'aides formelles et/ou informelles, le lieu de vie, le motif principal d'hospitalisation. Le critère de jugement principal était la durée d'hospitalisation, considérée comme prolongée après 13 jours. Deux types de RNA ont été utilisés (multilayer perceptron (MLP) et MLP modifié). Une stratification selon l'âge a été réalisée. Résultats: Les performances de prédiction les plus élevées étaient obtenues par le réseau MLP modifié : sensibilité=88-89% ; spécificité=96- 97,6% ; valeur prédictive positive=87,7-92,2% ; valeur prédictive négative 96,2-96,5% ; rapport de vraisemblance positif=22,3-37,6; l'aire sous la courbe=93,8-95,5. Conclusion : La stratification selon l'âge permettait d'améliorer les capacités de l'EGS-c à 10 items dans la prédiction des hospitalisations prolongées. Les performances de cet instrument de repérage étaient compatibles avec celles d'un outil de décision clinique.

Book Synopsis Phronesis as Professional Knowledge by : Elizabeth Anne Kinsella
Download or read book Phronesis as Professional Knowledge written by Elizabeth Anne Kinsella and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-07-30 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Phronesis is the Aristotelian notion of practical wisdom. In this collected series, phronesis is explored as an alternate way of considering professional knowledge. In the present context dominated by technical rationalities and instrumentalist approaches, a re-examination of the concept of phronesis offers a fundamental re-visioning of the educational aims in professional schools and continuing professional education programs. This book originated from a conversation amongst an interdisciplinary group of scholars from education, health, philosophy, and sociology, who share concerns that something of fundamental importance – of moral signi?cance – is missing from the vision of what it means to be a professional. The contributors consider the ways in which phronesis offers a generative possibility for reconsidering the professional knowledge of practitioners. The question at the centre of this inquiry is: “If we take phronesis seriously as an organising framework for professional knowledge, what are the implications for professional education and practice?” A multiplicity of understandings emerge as to what is meant by phronesis and how it might be reinterpreted, understood, applied, and extended in a world radically different to that of the progenitor of the term, Aristotle. For those concerned with professional life this is a conversation not to be missed.
