Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: GeriatrÃa Medicina Familiar Salud pública Tratamiento paliativo Medicina General y Medicina Familiar Cuidados paliativos Clasificación: 618.97 Medicina (Geriatría) Resumen: Este libro crea una mayor conciencia y ofrece orientación práctica para los médicos que trabajan con pacientes mayores de 85 años, el segmento más anciano de la población que envejece. A medida que la población en todo el mundo envejece, los sistemas de salud y otras infraestructuras luchan por crear una fuerza laboral capacitada para manejar los desafÃos únicos que presentan los pacientes geriátricos. Esto es especialmente cierto en las personas mayores, que son más sanas y viven más que las generaciones anteriores. Este libro está diseñado para cubrir consideraciones generales, el manejo de enfermedades crónicas y sÃndromes geriátricos y, en el contexto de una financiación limitada, abogar por una atención óptima en la vejez que respete la dignidad y la autonomÃa de las personas mayores. Cada capÃtulo proporciona un resumen de información importante y esencial e incluye estudios de casos para demostrar claramente cada situación, puntos clave y algoritmos para facilitar el enfoque paso a paso para resolver problemas. A diferencia de cualquier otro recurso, este texto es el primero en centrarse particularmente en esta porción de pacientes de edad avanzada y cubre temas que van desde el abuso de personas mayores, la competencia, la inmunidad, la desnutrición, la fragilidad y una amplia gama de temas que se presentan en la población geriátrica. Escrito por expertos en el campo, Advanced Age Geriatric Care es un recurso valioso para geriatras, médicos de atención primaria, investigadores, estudiantes de medicina, funcionarios de salud pública, administradores de hogares de ancianos, trabajadores sociales y todos los médicos que trabajan con los pacientes de mayor edad de la población que envejece. .
