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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume examines why hospitals collaborate with each other and with other health care actors across borders in Europe. Cross-border hospital collaboration is not a new phenomenon but began to receive increased attention in the first decade of the 21st century in the context of European debates on patient mobility, the impact of European Union (EU) integration on national health systems and the particular situation of border regions. In this context, the role of health care providers stands out: while physically anchored in the health system that funds and regulates them, hospitals in border regions often witness or initiate cross-border movements of patients and health professionals.

Book Synopsis Qualitative Research by : Robert E. Stake
Download or read book Qualitative Research written by Robert E. Stake and published by Guilford Press. This book was released on 2010-03-03 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides invaluable guidance for thinking through and planning a qualitative study. Rather than offering recipes for specific techniques, master storyteller Robert Stake stimulates readers to discover "how things work" in organizations, programs, communities, and other systems. Topics range from identifying a research question to selecting methods, gathering data, interpreting and analyzing the results, and producing a well-thought-through written report. In-depth examples from actual studies emphasize the role of the researcher as instrument and interpreter, while boxed vignettes and learning projects encourage self-reflection and critical thinking. Other useful pedagogical features include quick-reference tables and charts, sample project management forms, and an end-of-book glossary. After reading this book, doctoral students and novice qualitative researchers will be able to plan a study from beginning to end.
Book Synopsis The Elderly Eyewitness in Court by : Michael P. Toglia
Download or read book The Elderly Eyewitness in Court written by Michael P. Toglia and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2014-02-18 with total page 451 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The majority of research on eyewitness memory has traditionally studied children and young adults. By contrast, this volume is designed to provide an overview of empirical research on the cognitive, social, and health related factors that impact the accuracy of eyewitness testimony given by the elderly. The book takes a lifespan developmental perspective that incorporates research on witnesses of all ages, but uses the findings to focus on issues unique to the elderly. This includes research on recognition memory with lineup identifications and recall memory that occurs when an elderly witness is asked to describe an event in court. The Elderly Eyewitness also examines jurors’ reactions to the testimony of an elderly witness, and the legal and social policy issues that emerge when the elderly witness participate in legal proceedings. While reviewing what is known about the elderly witness, the book also provides a direction for future research into this new frontier of scientific inquiry. Its audience spans researchers in cognitive and developmental psychology, and professionals working in the growing area of psychology and law.

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.

Book Synopsis Evaluation gériatrique standardisée courte à dix-items by : Amélie Lanoë
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.
