Defy Aging
Shows why and how the body deteriorates as life goes on and offers an easy-read overview of new solutions coming out of current studies of aging. Wrinkles and gray hairs and misplaced keys—the obvious signs of getting older. Surprisingly, all of the miniscule events in our cells and organs that are responsible for aging begin their deterioration in our third decade. This book explains what is going on inside cells and organs that result in the outward appearances of aging. Readers will discover what causes skin to sag, hair to turn gray, blood vessels to stiffen, and other, mostly unwelcome events. Finally, and probably most importantly, the reader will be introduced to what can be done to...
Rehabilitation Medicine for Elderly Patients
This book clearly explains when and how different rehabilitation techniques should be applied in the aging patient, thereby enabling readers to identify and apply those rehabilitation strategies that will maximize quality of life and functional independence in individual cases. It is specifically designed for ease of consultation and rapid retrieval of the information most relevant to clinical practice. Prominence is given to the benefits of a multidisciplinary approach to rehabilitation, with discussion of a very wide range of aspects of rehabilitation in different disease settings. The breadth of coverage is illustrated by the attention paid to less commonly addressed topics such as visual and hearing rehabilitation, the role of robotics and 3D imaging techniques, variations in approach among health care systems, and rehabilitation in end-of-life care. The authors are international academic experts in their fields, guaranteeing a high scientific standard throughout. This manual will be an invaluable tool and source of knowledge for geriatricians and physiatrists but will also appeal to a wider range of clinicians, practitioners, and students.
Cognitive Dimensions of Major Depressive Disorder

All They Really Need
All They Really Need is a powerful counter-narrative to fear-based parenting and the artificial answers to life’s basic needs. In a relatable and common-sense way, authors Leslie Solomonian and Heather Hudson address today’s biggest parenting concerns, offering strategies to promote the whole health of a child, from birth to adulthood. Meticulously researched, All They Really Need provides evidence that turning towards nature can help prevent modern epidemics including diabetes, allergies, and mental health concerns. With snapshots from their own imperfect parenting, they cover classics like nutrition, immunity, and movement, as well as more nuanced topics such as self-esteem, sexuality and environmental responsibility. Leslie brings a wealth of academic rigor and clinical experience, while Heather offers a down-to-earth interpretation that brings the book’s concepts to life in an accessible and witty way.
Orthogeriatrics
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, sar...

Prevention of Chronic Diseases and Age-Related Disability
This book explains how to promote and prolong “healthy ageing,” which constitutes maintaining daily functioning and well-being until the end of life. In this context, the editor of the book and the international team of authors, all of whom are experts on the various aspects of ageing, demonstrate the value of this new approach in clinical practice. The systematic integration of a functional assessment, if not a complete and comprehensive geriatric assessment, is fundamental in daily clinical practice. Identifying risk factors at midlife will help to promote health at any age. Moreover, randomized control trials are making it increasingly clear that interventions could help ageing and el...
