Omvårdnad & äldre belyser äldre personers hälsa och ohälsa och bygger på sammanlagt 33 svenska forskares beskrivningar av det aktuella kunskapsläget. Författarna representerar främst ämnet omvårdnad, men även medicin, oral hälsa, kulturgeografi, filosofi, socialt arbete, gerontologi, medicinsk etik, arbetsterapi och fysioterapi. I denna andra upplaga har boken genomgått en omfattande revidering med en ökad integrering av gerontologi och geriatrik och nya kapitel om våld i nära relationer och akut omhändertagande har tillkommit.Omvårdnad & äldre vänder sig till sjuksköterskestudenter på grundnivå och avancerad nivå, men även till kliniskt verksamma sjuksköterskor och andra yrkesgrupper inom fältet.År 2017 tilldelades boken Kurslitteraturprisets hederspris med följande motivering:För ett heltäckande grundverk, som med gedigen vetenskaplig tyngd, avhandlar ett område som är högaktuellt såväl i dag som under många år framöver. Andelen äldre ökar och många lever allt längre med långvariga sjukdomar. Detta ställer nya krav på sjuksköterskan och omvårdnaden. Boken är helt anpassad till dessa nya förutsättningar där de senaste forskningsresultaten kombineras med konkreta omvårdnadsåtgärder. Verket är mycket välskrivet, med den äldre personen ständigt i centrum.

Geriatrikboken beskriver de sjukdomar som ofta drabbar äldre samt hur dessa ska utredas och behandlas. Den ger ett brett perspektiv på de geriatriska aspekterna inom äldrevården liksom inom all sjukvård. Boken betonar vikten av ett teambaserat arbetssätt där flera professioner samarbetar.

Allt fler individer uppnår en högre ålder än tidigare och gruppen de allra äldsta ökar mest. Redan nu, och ännu mer i framtiden, kommer äldre sjuka patienter att dominera inom de flesta sjukdomsspecialiteter, inte minst gäller detta på akutmottagningar och inom den slutna vården. Att känna till och rätt behandla allvarliga sjukdomar hos äldre är nödvändigt för att förhindra allvarliga och ibland fatala komplikationer. Behovet av geriatrisk kompetens inom vården ökar därför konstant.

Bokens texter kompletteras med faktarutor och autentiska fallbeskrivningar, där läsaren själv får möjlighet att fundera över och ta ställning till den aktuella situationen. Flertalet fallbeskrivningar följs av kommentarer från författarna. Varje kapitel avslutas med en omfattande referenslista och läsrekommendationer.

Geriatrikboken är främst avsedd som kurslitteratur på sjuksköterskeutbildningar på grundnivå men kan med fördel även användas av andra högskolestudenter inom andra vårdutbildningar.

Sagt om boken"Med fjorton medförfattare har redaktören, professor Lars-Olof Wahlund, skrivit Geriatrikboken som är en omfattande och modern bok om sjukdomar hos äldre. Den fyller ett stort behov, då den äldres sjukdomstillstånd ofta tar sig andra uttryck än hos yngre. ... Boken är lättläst, kvalificerad, uppdaterad och bred. Geriatrikboken är en bra och trevlig bok som vänder sig till läkare och sjuksköterskor. Den passar också fint under medicinska utbildningar." Per Björgell, lektör, BTJ-häftet nr 17, 2020.

"Texten är välskriven och håller den bredd som man önskar inom geriatrik från aktiva forskare, kliniker, några professores emeriti samt en doktorand och en ST-läkare. Alla kapitel håller genomgående hög vetenskaplig standard.Den stora fördelen med boken är dess konsekventa presentation av åldrandeprocesser av gurun inom området, docenten Åke Rundgren. En annan fördel är lättfattlig genomgång av nya aspekter av ramlagarna och satsningar inom geriatriska vårdkedjan. Jag är också imponerad av välbeskriven palliativ vård ...". Dorota Religa, professor, överläkare, klinisk geriatrik, Lakartidningen.se 2020-09-10.

Om författarnaLars-Olof Wahlund är seniorprofessor i geriatrik vid Karolinska institutet i Stockholm. Han har omfattande klinisk erfarenhet, framför allt inom området demenssjukdomar, och har undervisat i geriatrik både på grund- och forskningsnivå. Bokens övriga författare är alla specialister inom sina respektive områden och de har mångårig erfarenhet av att jobba inom sitt fält, såväl kliniskt som akademiskt.

Denna praktiska handbok fokuserar på den äldre personens unika symtom samt behov av utredning och behandling vid akuta tillstånd.Många av tillstånden är sådana som alla läkare möter, oavsett specialitet. Detta är den enda svenska handboken i sitt slag. Akutgeriatrik tar avstamp i autentiska fallbeskrivningar som belyser de svårigheter och fallgropar som kan leda till en felaktig diagnos. Symtombilden hos äldre är ofta avvikande och kan kräva ett särskilt detektivarbete. Här guidas läsaren genom den komplexa handläggningen vid olika akuta tillstånd, men boken tar även upp vanliga kroniska sjukdomar och deras betydelse vid akut sjukdom. Denna tredje upplaga är uppdaterad och även utökad inom områden som hjärtsvikt, demens och läkemedelsbehandling av sköra äldre.Akutgeriatrik riktar sig i första hand till studenter i läkarprogrammet på grund- och specialistnivå inom alla specialiteter. Boken passar även för sjuksköterskeprogrammet på grund och avancerad nivå, och kan med fördel läsas av yrkesverksamma inom vården.”Det är verkligen en fin bok, och jag har mycket nytta av den. På en liten internmedicinsk klinik är trots allt det mesta just akut geriatrik, så målgruppen är mycket större än bara geriatriker.”Torbjörn Messner, docent, specialist i internmedicin, gastroenterologi, kardiologi.”Boken är lättläst och konkret. Den ger förslag på fortsatt handläggning som jag som sjuksköterska kan utföra självständigt eller tillsammans med vårdteamet.”Eva Almevall, distriktsköterska och specialistsjuksköterska inom vård av äldre.

Understanding Alzheimer’s: a Biography of a Disease

155 kr

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar

Winner of the 2002 BMA Popular Medicine Book Prize: This is a haunting literary and scientific examination of Alzheimer’s disease and the race to find a cure.‘A truly remarkable book – the definitive work on Alzheimer’s, both in social and medical terms, “The Forgetting” is incisive, humane, never ponderous, full of dry humour and brilliantly written with quiet, unpretentious authority. As a layman with personal experience of “caring” for an Alzheimer’s sufferer I am well aware of the stages of the disease and its prognosis and ending. Shenk is excellent on all these, and in his reflections on memory and the individual, and the individual’s response to the progress of the disease. I can’t imagine a book on Alzheimer’s being better researched and understood, or presented with greater sympathy.’ John BayleyIn 1906 Alois Alzheimer dissected and examined the cerebral cortex of Auguste D’s brain and became the first scientist in medical history to link a specific brain pathology to behavioural changes. The disease named after him, turns otherwise active and healthy people into living ghosts. It is a rare condition for those in their 40s and 50s but 10% of the 65+ population suffers from it and 50% of the 85+. It is longevity’s revenge and as the baby boom generation drifts into its elderly years the number of Alzheimer’s victims is expected to quadruple, making it the fastest-growing disease in developed countries.As Adam Phillips writes in his foreword ‘This remarkable book will radically change our notions of looking after people and our assumptions about independence. Out of fear of mortality we have idealised health and youth and competence. “The Forgetting” reminds us among many other things that there is more to life than that.’Shenk’s history of Alzheimer’s is both poignant and scientific, grounded by the fundamental belief that memory forms the basis of our selves, our souls, and the meaning in our lives.

From Cameron Diaz, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Body Book, comes a fresh, personal, and authoritative examination of the art and science of growing older and a roadmap for abundant health and resilience as we age.When Cameron Diaz wrote The Body Book, she was on a mission to help educate young women about how their bodies function, empowering them to make better-informed choices about their health instead of heeding the advice of the latest headline or trend. So she interviewed doctors, scientists, nutritionists and a host of other experts, and then shared what she’d learned with young women everywhere in a comprehensive volume hailed as ‘smart’, ‘brimming with science’ and ‘the real deal’.Once again Cameron Diaz is on a mission. But this time, she’s starting a conversation with her peers on a topic that is virtually taboo in our society: the ageing female body. In The Longevity Book, she will share everything she’s learned about the ageing process from top medical experts and researchers, as well as her own thoughts, opinions, and experiences on a topic that is as essential to our health as it is emotionally charged and culturally neglected.The Longevity Book will explore what history, biology, neuroscience and the women’s health movement can teach us about maintaining optimal health as we transition from our thirties to midlife. From how growing older impacts various bodily systems to the biological differences in the way ageing effects men and women; the latest science on telomeres and slowing the rate of cognitive decline to how meditation heals us and why love, friendship and laughter matter for health.The Longevity Book will offer an all-encompassing, holistic look at how the female body ages – and what we can all do to age better. Cameron offers women a compassionate, informative and intimate tour through the next volume of life.

In Creative Care, Anne Basting lays the groundwork for a widespread transformation in our approach to elder care and uses compelling, touching stories to inspire and guide us all—family, friends, and health professionals—in how to connect and interact with those living with dementia.A MacArthur Genius Grant recipient, Basting tells the story of how she pioneered a radical change in how we interact with our older loved ones. Now used around the world, this proven method has brought light and joy to the lives of elders—and those who care for them. Here, for the first time, everyone can learn these methods. Early in her career, Basting noticed a problem: today’s elderly—especially those experiencing dementia and Alzheimer’s— are often isolated in nursing homes or segregated in elder-care settings, making the final years of life feel lonely and devoid of meaning. To alleviate their sense of aloneness, Basting developed a radical approach that combines methods from the world of theater and improvisation with evidence-based therapies that connect people using their own creativity and imagination.Rooted in twenty-five years of research, these new techniques draw on core creative exercises—such as “Yes, and . . .” and “Beautiful Questions.” This approach fosters storytelling and active listening, allowing elders to freely share ideas and stories without worrying about getting the details “correct.” Basting’s research has shown that these practices stimulate the brain and awaken the imagination to add wonder and awe to patients’ daily lives—and provide them a means of connection, both with the world and with those caring for them. Creative Care promises to bring light and hope to a community that needs it most.

A full-color case-based guide to the principles and clinical aspects of geriatric care

4 STAR DOODY'S REVIEW!"It is intended as a case-based textbook of geriatrics that also integrates the complexities of geriatric medicine into a meaningful whole. These are excellent objectives, all met in a wonderful way. This book stands out from other textbooks of geriatric medicine....This is a brilliant addition to the literature of geriatric medicine. Some topics are covered in different ways, but this is never repetitious, rather more like looking at a gem from different angles. The evidence-based, case-based, pre-test, post-test format makes this an ideal book from which to learn. The breadth and depth are stunning. The editing and format would be enough to highly recommend this book, but the beautiful use of color on every page, permitting lavish illustrations, tables, figures, and examples of tests, makes this at the same time a brilliant exposition of the true nature of geriatric medicine, and a work of art as well. Run, do not walk, to see it!"--Doody's Review Service

Case-Based Geriatrics utilizes a case-and-evidence-based approach to help you understand the key principles and clinical points of geriatric medicine and healthcare. Written to reflect the field’s growing trend toward interdisciplinary collaboration, the book is of value not only to physicians, but to the entire health team involved in the care of the elderly.

This unique text is constructed around case presentations, which are used as the primary teaching tool. These cases reflect issues and principles of geriatrics that are encountered and practiced worldwide. You will learn how cultural characteristics of both patients and providers have added new layers of complications to this already challenging field – and how they can be recognized and overcome. Each case is directly linked to the learning objectives found in each chapter. Review questions appear at the beginning and end of each chapter to test your understanding.

Case-Based Geriatrics is divided into three sections:

Issues in Aging -- features foundational chapters covering essential topics such as biology of aging, worldwide demographics, the geriatric physical exam, sensory changes in aging, and approaches to laboratory testing and imaging in aging Inter-professional Geriatrics -- provides an overview of multi-professional team care and covers important topics such as pre -and-post operative care, discharge planning and transitional care, end-of-life care, home care, and long-term care Geriatric Syndromes and Important Issues -- covers common disorders such as delirium, dementia, depression, stroke, hypertension, osteoporosis, and more

From one of the world’s leading medical journals comes the definitive evidence-based, full-color guide to end-of-life and palliative care

A new addition to the JAMAevidence series, Care at the Close of Life: Evidence and Experience offers evidence-based and clinical expert guidance on caring for patients with life-limiting illness, incorporating the words and perspectives of affected patients, their families, and treating clinicians.

Organized by these actual clinical cases, the book is based on the acclaimed 7-year series of 42 articles, originally published in JAMA as “Perspectives on Care at the Close of Life,” and now thoroughly updated as chapters and featuring extensive never-before-published material. Care at the Close of Life covers are a wide range of clinical syndromes, disease processes, communication challenges, health-care delivery settings, and issues faced by patients, including withdrawal of dialysis and other life-sustaining measures, cross-cultural approaches, and the role of chemotherapy. Throughout the book, emphasis is on the principles of palliative care, with the patient and family at the center of care, and with attention given to all problems—physical, psychological, social, and spiritual.

Reflecting this focus, each chapter begins with a patient case study to introduce the clinical problem, followed by “perspectives” that draw on extensive, real-world dialogue between clinicians, patients, and families. Internationally renowned authors then review the typical challenges illustrated by the case, offering state-of-the-art, evidence-based assessment and treatment approaches.

PART 1 covers the origins of the nursing home movement, plus alternative approaches, including aging in place and what older people are saying about nursing home life and culture change.

PART 2 focuses on the fundamentals of working as part of a nursing home team providing day-to-day care and the leadership essentials to drive the quality improvement agenda.

PART 3 addresses the most common conditions experienced by older nursing home residents.

PART 4 is devoted to clinical and nursing aspects of specific disease management.

The leading reference and text on the increasingly relevant and important topic of caring for underserved patients and those with highly unique health requirements

A Doody’s Core Title for 2019!

The timely publication of Medical Management of Vulnerable and Underserved Patients: Principles, Practice and Populations, Second Edition is designed to clarify current issues and instruct you in best practices and compliance with legislation, such as the Affordable Care Act, when caring for patients living with chronic diseases in poor and minority populations. How do these laws affect you, your practice, and patient care?

Medical Management of Vulnerable and Underserved Patients is ideally suited for clinical and educational programs and policy-oriented institutions concerned with addressing health disparities and caring for the underserved and vulnerable patient. Comprehensive in scope and authored by many of the leading names in the field, the book takes complex concepts and issues and helps you understand them, resulting in a “roadmap” to guide real-world applications and compliance with the terms of the law. Each chapter integrates key concepts, core competencies, and common pitfalls and concludes with useful lists of web resources and stimulating discussion questions.

From the reviews of the First Edition:"This book is an ambitious and important contribution to the care of our most wounded patients. For those of us who regularly care for vulnerable patients, it provides an excellent resource and supportive guide. However, it should also become part of the standard library for all medical students and practicing physicians. All physicians have much to learn from the practical, evidence-based approaches to the societal issues we all face in practice. Ultimately, this is a book that could help all clinicians take better care of all patients, especially those who may need extra help and support as they navigate our complex health care system." -- New England Journal of Medicine

Experts in the fields of energy metabolism, aging and oxidative stress provide an integrated view of how mechanisms involved in regulating energy metabolism are linked to fundamental processes of aging including cellular stress resistance and free radical production. During evolution signal transduction pathways and organ systems have been optimised for the efficient seeking, ingestion, storing and using of energy. These signalling pathways play prominent roles in lifespan determination with insulin and related signalling pathways being prime examples. The authors consider how lifespan and healthspan can be extended through knowledge of energy metabolism with the experimental model of dietary restriction being one example. The information in this volume of ACAG will foster novel approaches and experiments for further understanding the roles of energy metabolism in aging and disease.

The lipids of cellular membranes not only serve roles in controlling the structure and fluidity of the membrane, but are increasingly recognized for their roles as signalling molecules and modifiers of membrane protein function. Recent studies described in this volume reveal striking changes in membrane lipids during aging and in age-related diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disease and neurodegenerative disorders. Lipids including inositol phospholipids, cholesterol, sphingolipids and ceramides play important roles in signalling cellular responses to stress and specific stimuli such as growth factors, cytokines and neurotransmitters. One or more of these lipid mediators has been linked to the pathogenesis of age-related diseases. This book provides a comprehensive review of specific membrane lipid mediators and their roles in aging and age-related disease.

Some well-known age-related neurological diseases include Parkinson''s disease, Alzheimer''s disease, deafness, and blindness. Even more common are the problems of aging which are not due to disease but to more subtle impairments in neurobiological systems, including impairments in vision, memory loss, muscle weakening, and loss of reproductive functions, changes in body weight, and sleeplessness. As the average age of our society increases, diseases of aging continue to become more common, and conditions associated with aging need more attention by doctors and researchers. In 1991, patients over the age of 65 saw their doctors an average of eight times per year. Research funding is provided by the Neuroscience and Neuropsychology of Aging (NNA) Program, which is run by the National Institute on Aging. This book offers a comprehensive overview of all topics related to functional impairments which are related to the aging brain and nervous system. It is organized according to four general functions: movement, senses, memory, and neuroendocrine regulation. Written by the leading researchers in the field, this comprehensive work addresses both impairments associated with diseases and not associated with diseases, making it easier to understand the mechanisms involved. Functional Neurobiology of Aging is an important reference for professionals and students involved in aging research, as well as physicians who need to recognize and understand age-related impairments.- Organized by function, making it easy to find and understand the material- Addresses impairments both associated with diseases and not associated with diseases- Written by leading researchers in the field- Most comprehensive source of information on the neurobiology of aging
