Download or read book Quand les neurones ne répondent plus written by Pascal Mespouille and published by Mardaga. This book was released on 2020-05-05 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le Docteur Pascal Mespouille, neurologue, prône une approche multidisciplinaire des maladies neurodégénératives. Depuis des siècles, les maladies neurodégénératives existent et impactent de manière particulièrement douloureuse les patients mais aussi leur entourage. Dans cet ouvrage, l’auteur reprend l’historique de ces affections, décrivant pour chacune les symptômes, les zones du cerveau concernées, les recherches cliniques actuelles, les éventuels traitements, les échecs, les succès et les espoirs. Face au caractère actuellement inéluctable de ces affections, le Dr Mespouille démontre la nécessité d’une prise en charge multidisciplinaire. Il insiste également sur la valeur d’une relation triangulaire étroite entre soignants, patients et proches, afin de faire face, ensemble, à ces maladies souvent dévastatrices. Porteur d’espoir, cet ouvrage insiste sur l’importance de l’accompagnement du patient et de son entourage avec ces valeurs qui nous définissent le mieux : le respect, la pudeur, l’affection, la tendresse, en un mot, notre humanité. Une vision à la fois historique, pratique et humaine de ces maladies. EXTRAIT D’avoir vécu ce temps difficile du diagnostic, d’avoir partagé les problèmes qui en résultent, les questionnements, les moments d’espoir alternant avec les périodes de découragement, d’avoir éprouvé avec les patients et leurs familles les tourments existentiels, les recherches de solutions, mais aussi les quêtes de sens, dans le déséquilibre permanent d’un processus qui ne cesse d’évoluer, il m’a semblé qu’un livre abordant le vaste champ couvert par ces maladies s’avérait fécond. Un ouvrage qui se situerait à mi-distance d’une approche médicale complexe ou ardue et des aspects plus intimes, avec les anecdotes qui en disent long sur la fragilité vécue. Un récit qui tenterait de faire la part entre la richesse des approches possibles, plus appréciables et performantes qu’on ne le soupçonne, et les émotions suscitées par le déclin observé ainsi que les faux espoirs. Un texte reprenant les avancées récentes sans se leurrer sur les difficultés qu’elles soulèvent, soulignant les différences entre les plaintes initiales (mémoire, motricité, faiblesse...) et les diagnostics, avec, pour chacun d’entre eux, les évolutions prévisibles malgré les importantes variantes individuelles constatées sur le terrain. Un livre dans lequel toute personne confrontée à ces affections pourrait trouver des informations et des connaissances avérées portant sur les points précis qui l’interpellent, au moment où cela l’inquiète, en s’appuyant sur des aspects concrets et du vécu, où chacun pourrait dénicher des suggestions pratiques, sans se décourager ou s’épuiser. Un livre qui contiendrait aussi des chapitres qui s’écartent de la composante pratique du quotidien pour embrasser l’histoire de ces maladies, les concepts explicatifs qui se sont succédé, les errances, parfois, et les fulgurances qui ont permis maints progrès. À PROPOS DE L'AUTEUR Le Docteur Pascal Mespouille est neurologue, chef de service et maître de stage en neurologie. Il a participé à plusieurs études sur les démences. Il a été chargé de cours à la Haute-Ecole Robert Schuman et donné des conférences en Belgique, en France et au Luxembourg.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le vieillissement de la population confronte de plus en plus le praticien aux patients particuliers que sont les sujets âgés. Outre l'examen clinique traditionnel, l'évaluation gérontologique standardisée (EGS) doit rentrer dans la pratique courante de tout généraliste. Cet examen permet d'évaluer l'ensemble des fonctions cognitives, sociales, et l'autonomie fonctionnelle d'un patient. À l'aide des nombreux tests courts et pratiques de diagnostic, cet ouvrage permet au praticien de suivre l'évolution physique et psychique des personnes âgées. Il propose tout d'abord un examen clinique spécifique (évaluation cognitive, thymique, nutritionnelle, de l'équilibre et de la marche, évaluation fonctionnelle et de l'autonomie), puis un état des lieux des pathologies gériatriques, des pathologies neurodégénératives et des troubles du comportement. Cette nouvelle édition présente notamment les outils opposables à PATHOS (outil d'évaluation des états pathologiques en EHPAD) et propose des tests plus spécifiques à l'attention des sujets fragiles afin de dépister suffisamment tôt cette fragilité et un certain nombre de déficits pour mettre en place des attitudes de prévention, de traitement et de prises en charge efficaces. Ce guide s'intègre parfaitement dans la pratique des médecins généralistes, des médecins coordonnateurs en EHPAD et de tous les praticiens dans le suivi de leurs patients âgés.

Book excerpt: This book is a collective work draws on the perspective of social sciences, mobilizing perspectives from the sociology of science, the history of psychiatry, medical ethnography and public policy analysis. This initiative, which has no precedent in social sciences, is surrounded by an original, if not apparently paradoxical statement: considering that the deployment of these processes, strictly formal and depersonalized, is justified in becoming the rule in a society known as "individuals".

Download or read book Primary Care Mental Health in Older People written by Carlos Augusto de Mendonça Lima and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-08-07 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a practical resource that will support the delivery of holistic mental health interventions in the primary and community care setting for older people. Primary care delivery is discussed in relation to both functional mental health problems, such as anxiety, depression, and psychotic and personality disorders, and acquired organic mental disorders of old age, such as dementia, cognitive impairments, and delirium. Careful consideration is paid to the complex relationship between mental and somatic health problems, as well as the impacts of multimorbidity and polypharmacy. Further topics include, for example, epidemiology, wider determinants of health, different care models, history taking, neurocognitive and capacity assessment, and pharmacological, psychological, and physical interventions. The wider goals of the book are to support the development of community resilience and self-care in older people; to promote universal access and equity for older people in order to enable them to achieve or recover the highest attainable standard of health, regardless of age, gender, or social position; and to promote pathways to care for older people with mental health problems respecting their autonomy, independence, human rights, and the importance of the life-course approach. This book will be an invaluable resource for all professionals who work with older adults with mental health problems and those training in these fields including physicians, psychiatrists, family doctors, geriatricians, general practitioners, nurses, psychologists, neurologists, occupational therapists, social workers, support workers and community health and social care workers.

Download or read book Healing Gardens written by Clare Cooper Marcus and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 1999-06-15 with total page 644 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the healing qualities of nature have been recognized and relied on for centuries as a valuable part of convalescence, recent history has seen nature's therapeutic role virtually eclipsed by the technological dominance of modern medicine. As the twentieth century comes to a close and the medical community reacknowledges the importance of the environment to recovery, the healing garden is emerging as a supplement to drug- or technology-based treatments. Healing Gardens celebrates this renewed interest in nature as a catalyst for healing and renewal by examining the different therapeutic benefits of healing gardens and offering essential design guidance from experts in the field. Unique and comprehensive, Healing Gardens provides up-to-date coverage of research findings, relevant design principles and approaches, and best practice examples of different types of healing gardens. It begins by exploring what current research reveals about the connection between nature, human stress reduction, and medical outcomes. It then presents case studies and design guidelines for outdoor spaces in medical settings that include general, psychiatric, and children's hospitals as well as hospices, nursing homes, and Alzheimer's facilities. Historical information, literature reviews, and studies on use are included for each type of outdoor space covered, offering important insights into what works in healing gardens-and what doesn't. Generously supplemented with photographs, site plans, anecdotes, and more, Healing Gardens is an invaluable practical guide for landscape architects and others involved in creating and maintaining medical facilities, and an extremely useful reference for those responsible for patient care. A unique and comprehensive look at the therapeutic effects and design of healing gardens For more and more people, the shortest road to recovery is the one that leads through a healing garden. Combining up-to-date information on the therapeutic benefits of healing gardens with practical design guidance from leading experts in the field, Healing Gardens is an important resource for landscape architects and others working in this emerging area. With the help of site plans, photographs, and more, it presents design guidelines and case studies for outdoor spaces in a range of medical settings, including: * Acute care general hospitals. * Psychiatric hospitals. * Children's hospitals. * Nursing homes. * Alzheimer's facilities. * Hospices.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nature .and diversity of presentations at the conference on: "Bee Products: Prop erties, Applications and Apitherapy" held at Tel-Aviv on May 26--30, 1996, emphasize the increasing interest of physicians, practitioners, scientists, herbalists, dieticians, cosmeti cians, microbiologists, and beekeepers in different facets of bee products. This volume consists of a selection of 31 contributions presented at the conference and which provide information on the present status of our knowledge in this area. In spite of their diversity, they reflect the mainstream of the conference, namely: "Imported" Prod ucts (honey, pollen and propolis), Exocrine Secretions of Workers (venom, royal jelly). Toxicity and Contaminants, Quality Control, Marketing, Apitherapy, Cosmetics, etc. Since antiquity, honey as well as other bee products were used as food, as a cure for ailments of humans and animals, and as cosmetics. We hope that this volume will contribute to interdisciplinary studies on chemical composition, pharmacological effects, nutrition, and other aspects of bee products. Critical and unbiased experimental research may unravel the yet unknown composition and mode of action of bee products and elucidate many unanswered questions. The noteworthy features of this conference were the participants from all parts of the world and of different cultural backgrounds, who shared their keen interest and curios ity regarding honey bees and their products. We thank all of them for their personal con tribution to the success of this conference.

Download or read book Computers and Games for Mental Health and Well-Being written by Yasser Khazaal and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2018-07-12 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent years have seen important developments in the computer and game industry, including the emergence of the concept of serious games. It is hypothesized that tools such as games, virtual reality, or applications for smartphones may foster learning, enhance motivation, promote behavioral change, support psychotherapy, favor empowerment, and improve some cognitive functions. Computers and games may create supports for training or help people with cognitive, emotional, or behavioral change. Games take various formats, from board games to informatics to games with interactive rules of play. Similarly, computer tools may vary widely in format, from self-help or assisted computerized training to virtual reality or applications for smartphones. Some tools that may be helpful for mental health were specifically designed for that goal, whereas others were not. Gamification of computer-related products and games with a numeric format tend to reduce the gap between games and computers tools and increase the conceptual synergy in such fields. Games and computer design share an opportunity for creativity and innovation to help create, specifically design, and assess preventive or therapeutic tools. Computers and games share a design conception that allows innovative approaches to overcome barriers of the real world by creating their own rules. Yet, despite the potential interest in such tools to improve treatment of mental disorders and to help prevent them, the field remains understudied and information is under-disseminated in clinical practice. Some studies have shown, however, that there is potential interest and acceptability of tools that support various vehicles, rationales, objectives, and formats. These tools include traditional games (e.g., chess games), popular electronic games, board games, computer-based interventions specifically designed for psychotherapy or cognitive training, virtual reality, apps for smartphones, and so forth. Computers and games may offer a true opportunity to develop, assess, and disseminate new prevention and treatment tools for mental health and well-being. Currently, there is a strong need for state-of-the-art information to answer questions such as the following: Why develop such tools for mental health and well-being? What are the potential additions to traditional treatments? What are the best strategies or formats to improve the possible impact of these tools? Are such tools useful as a first treatment step? What is the potential of a hybrid model of care that combines traditional approaches with games and/or computers as tools? What games and applications have already been designed and studied? What is the evidence from previous studies? How can such tools be successfully designed for mental health and well-being? What is rewarding or attractive for patients in using such treatments? What are the worldwide developments in the field? Are some protocols under development? What are the barriers and challenges related to such developments? How can these tools be assessed, and how can the way that they work, and for whom, be measured? Are the potential benefits of such products specific, or can these additions be attributed to nonspecific factors? What are the users’ views on such tools? What are the possible links between such tools and social networks? Is there a gap between evidence-based results and market development? Are there any quality challenges? What future developments and studies are needed in the field?
