This book was released on 2014 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction. Le vieillissement de la population a comme conséquence l’augmentation du nombre de personnes présentant des troubles cognitifs. Ils sont parfois à l’origine de troubles du comportement, entrainant alors une dégradation de la qualité de vie. Les filières gériatriques assurent la continuité et la cohérence de la prise en charge globale dans le parcours de soins de ces patients. Objectifs. Cette étude cherche à décrire le profil des personnes âgées démentes hospitalisées pour trouble du comportement et à observer leur devenir après l’hospitalisation. Méthodes. L’étude était observationnelle descriptive rétrospective : description des patients hospitalisés dans un service de gériatrie de l’hôpital Rothschild à Paris pour des troubles du comportement sur une période d’inclusion de 3 mois et réévaluation à 3 mois de la sortie après appel du médecin traitant. Les critères d’inclusion étaient : âge supérieur à 75 ans, présence de troubles cognitifs, hospitalisation pour troubles du comportement. Résultats. La population comportait 50 patients inclus dont 2 ont été perdus de vue après leur sortie d’hospitalisation. L’âge moyen était 85,3 ans (SD 5,3), 56% des patients étaient des femmes, 66% consommaient des psychotropes, les troubles du comportement étaient productifs à 64%, la durée moyenne du séjour en Unité de Gériatrie Aigue (UGA) était de 17 jours (SD 7,9), le diagnostic de sortie était une évolution de la démence à 72%. Le groupe H- des patients non ré-hospitalisés (52%) a été comparé au groupe H+ des patients ré-hospitalisés dans les 3 mois (40%). Le critère statistiquement significatif retrouvé était la durée moyenne du séjour en soins de suite et réadaptation (SSR) (p=0,03) : 42,3 jours (SD 19,1) pour le groupe H- versus 78 jours (SD 48,4) pour le groupe H+. Conclusion. Une durée plus importante de séjour en SSR semble être corrélée au fait d’être ré-hospitalisé dans les 3 mois après hospitalisation pour troubles du comportement. Une étude à plus grande échelle est nécessaire pour mettre en évidence d’autres critères potentiellement significatifs.

Book excerpt: This new open access edition supported by the Fragility Fracture Network aims at giving the widest possible dissemination on fragility fracture (especially hip fracture) management and notably in countries where this expertise is sorely needed. It has been extensively revised and updated by the experts of this network to provide a unique and reliable content in one single volume. Throughout the book, attention is given to the difficult question of how to provide best practice in countries where the discipline of geriatric medicine is not well established and resources for secondary prevention are scarce. The revised and updated chapters on the epidemiology of hip fractures, osteoporosis, sarcopenia, surgery, anaesthesia, medical management of frailty, peri-operative complications, rehabilitation and nursing are supplemented by six new chapters. These include an overview of the multidisciplinary approach to fragility fractures and new contributions on pre-hospital care, treatment in the emergency room, falls prevention, nutrition and systems for audit. The reader will have an exhaustive overview and will gain essential, practical knowledge on how best to manage fractures in elderly patients and how to develop clinical systems that do so reliably.

Book Synopsis Dementia by : Ennapadam S. Krishnamoorthy
Download or read book Dementia written by Ennapadam S. Krishnamoorthy and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-10-07 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growth in the incidence of dementia presents major challenges to global healthcare systems. As the burden of dementia in non-Western cultures grows, developing nations are expected to overtake developed nations in terms of dementia prevalence. Insights from developing nations and transcultural considerations are, nevertheless, neglected in the published literature. Dementia: A Global Approach fills this gap by integrating contemporary cross-cultural knowledge about dementia. Each section reviews the literature from the published, predominantly Western, perspective, contrasting it with empirical knowledge from non-Western cultures. Covering major clinical, epidemiological and scientific areas of interest, detailed consideration is also given to care-giving models across the world and management of patients who have migrated between regions. Enriched with personal insights from clinical experts across the globe, this is a key text for neurologists, geriatricians, psychiatrists, psychologists, epidemiologists and all those responsible for managing provisions of dementia services.

Book Synopsis Plum and Posner's Diagnosis and Treatment of Stupor and Coma by : Jerome B. Posner
Download or read book Plum and Posner's Diagnosis and Treatment of Stupor and Coma written by Jerome B. Posner and published by Contemporary Neurology. This book was released on 2019 with total page 521 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plum and Posner's Diagnosis and Treatment of Stupor and Coma, 5th edition, is a major update of the classic work on diagnosing the cause of coma, with the addition of completely new sections on treatment of comatose patients, by Dr. Jan Claassen, the Director of the Neuro-ICU at Columbia New York Presbyterian Hospital. The first chapter of the book provides an up-to-date review on the brain mechanisms that maintain a conscious state in humans, and how lesions that damage these mechanisms cause loss of consciousness or coma. The second chapter reviews the neurological examination of the comatose patient, which provides the basis for determining whether the patient is suffering from a structural brain injury causing the coma, or from a metabolic disorder of consciousness. The third and fourth chapters review the pathophysiology of structural lesions causing coma, and the specific disease states that result in coma. Chapter five is a comprehensive treatment of the many causes of metabolic coma. Chapter 6 review psychiatric causes of unresponsiveness and how to identify and treat them. Chapters 7 and 8 review the overall emergency treatment of comatose patients, followed by the treatment of specific causes of coma. Chapter 9 examines the long term outcomes of coma, including the minimally conscious state and the persistent vegetative state, and how they can be distinguished, and their implications for eventual useful recovery. Chapter 10 reviews the topic of brain death and the standards for examination of a patient that are required to make the determination of brain death. The final chapter 11 is by J.J. Fins, a medical ethicist who was invited by the other authors to write an essay on the ethics of diagnosis and treatment of patients who, by definition, have no way to approve of or communicate about their wishes. While providing detailed background for neurological and neurosurgical specialists, the practical nature of the material in this book has found its greatest use among Internists, Emergency Medicine, and Intensive Care specialists, who deal with comatose patients frequently, but who may not have had extensive neurological training.
Book Synopsis Corticospinal Function and Voluntary Movement by : Robert Porter
Download or read book Corticospinal Function and Voluntary Movement written by Robert Porter and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the functions of corticospinal projections in the primate brain. Recent observations concerning the details of the cortico-cortical connections which contribute to the determination of these functions are presented in this volume. The details of cell-to-cell connectivity which allows corticospinal neurones to influence selectively the behaviors of individual motor units in the hands of both monkeys and humans are also covered. The experimental observations are dealt with against an historical background of histological and electrical examination of the motor areas of the cerebral cortex of humans, and the clinical significance of recent observations is discussed in connection with studies of the functions of the human brain during voluntary execution of movement, revealed by such techniques as positron emission tomography (PET). Neuroanatomical and neurophysiological details are correlated with measures of dexterity in movement performance and also used to account for the deficits in movement control which follow stroke, the learning of skill in movement performance and the rehabilitation of movement capacity after brain injury and disease.

Book Synopsis The Memory Artists by : Jeffrey Moore
Download or read book The Memory Artists written by Jeffrey Moore and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2007-04-01 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Canadian Authors Association Award for Best Novel Noel Burun has synesthesia and hypermnesia: he sees words in vibrant explosions of colors and shapes, which collide and commingle to form a memory so bitingly perfect that he can remember everything, from the 1001 stories of The Arabian Nights to the color of his bib as a toddler. But for all his mnemonic abilities, he is confronted every day with a reality that is as sad as it is ironic: his beloved mother, Stella, is stricken with Alzheimer's disease, her memory slowly slipping into the quicksands of oblivion. The Memory Artists follows Noel, helped by a motley cast of friends, on his quest to find a cure for his mother's affliction. The results are at the same time darkly funny, quirkily inventive, and very moving. Alternating between third-person narratives and the diaries of Noel and Stella, Jeffrey Moore weaves a story filled with fantastic characters and a touch of suspense that gets at the very heart of what it means to remember and forget, and that is a testament to the uplifting power of family and friendship.
