Описание: This comprehensive update offers practical advice for professionals working inneuropsychology with older adults. Focusing on fundamentals, common issues,special considerations, and late-life cognitive disorders, respected names in this criticalspecialty address a wide range of presenting problems and assessment, diagnostic,and treatment concerns. Th roughout, coverage pays keen attention to detail, bringingreal-world nuance to large-scale concepts and breaking down complex processes intodigestible steps. And like its predecessor, the new Handbook features recommendationsfor test batteries and ends each chapter by extracting its “clinical pearls.”A sampling of the topics covered:• Assessment of depression and anxiety in older adults.• The assessment of change: serial assessments in dementia evaluations.• Elder abuse identifi cation in older adults.• Clinical assessment of postoperative cognitive decline.• Cognitive training and rehabilitation in aging and dementia.• Diff erentiating mild cognitive impairment and cognitive changes of normalaging.• Evaluating cognition in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.This Second Edition of the Handbook on the Neuropsychology of Aging and Dementiaoffers a wealth of expert knowledge and hands-on guidance for neuropsychologists,gerontologists, social workers, and other clinicians interested in aging. Th is can be avaluable reference for those studying for board certifi cation in neuropsychology as wellas a resource for veteran practitioners brushing up on key concepts in neuropsychologyof age related disorders.

Описание: This is the new and fully revised third edition of the well-received text that is the benchmark book in the field of nutrition and aging. The editors (specialists in geriatric nutrition, medical sociology, and clinical nutrition, respectively) and contributors (a panel of recognized academic nutritionists, geriatricians, clinicians, and other scientists) have added a number of new chapters and have thoroughly updated the widely acclaimed second edition. This third edition provides fresh perspectives and the latest scientific and clinical developments on the interaction of nutrition with age-associated disease and provides practical, evidence-based options to enhance this at-risk population’s potential for optimal health and disease prevention. Chapters on a wide range of topics, such as the role of nutrition in physical and cognitive function, and coverage of an array of clinical conditions (obesity, diabetes, heart failure, cancer, kidney disease, osteoporosis), compliment chapters on food insecurity, anti-aging and nutritional supplements, making this third edition uniquely different from previous editions. Handbook of Clinical Nutrition and Aging, Third Edition, is a practical and comprehensive resource and an invaluable guide to nutritionists, physicians, nurses, social workers and others who provide health care for the ever-increasing aging population.

Описание: Novel Approaches into the Origins of Neurodevelopmental Disorders: The Fetal Physiology Foundation Over the past two decades, autism, a neurodevelopmental disorder that is defined by behavior and was once believed to be rare, became recognized in increasing numbers of children and recently received distinction as an “epidemic” [1]. While numbers of affected children have steadily increased, our knowledge is still ins- ficient to explain autism’s diverse causes and broad range of presentations. Despite remarkable progress in research, available medical diagnostic testing applies only to a small minority of affected children. Thus, scientifically based explanations with which physicians can diagnose and treat the majority of children with autism and advise their parents are quite limited. Our society and scientific community were unprepared for the rise in autism, which explains our present inability to understand most of its causes. Researchers in neurodevelopmental disorders have long been aware of other disorders that, despite extensive efforts, have not yielded clear genetic or environmental origins, and autism has become symbolic of the need for new approaches to research into these complex conditions. Although autism has captured our attention in recent years, the prevalence of other neurodevelopmental disorders such as attention de- cit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and bipolar disorder, among others, also has been increasing [2–4].

Описание: This state-of-the-art handbook will keep researchers and practitioners in gerontology abreast of the newest theories and models of ageing. With virtually all new contributors and content, this edition contains 35 chapters by the most highly respected luminaries in the field. It addresses theories and concepts built on cumulative knowledge in four disciplinary areas – biology, psychology, social sciences, and policy and practice – as well as landmark advances in trans-disciplinary science. With its explicit focus on theory, the handbook is unique in providing essential knowledge about primary explanations for ageing, spanning from cells to societies.The chapters in the third edition place a strong emphasis on the future of theory development, assessing the current state of theories and providing a roadmap for how theory can shape research, and vice versa, in years to come. Many chapters also address connections between theories and policy or practice. Each set of authors has been asked to consider how theories in their area address matters of diversity and inequalities in aging, and how theories might be revised or tested with these matters in mind. The third edition also contains a new section, “Standing on the Shoulders of Giants”, which includes personal essays by senior gerontologists who share their perspectives on the history of ideas in their fields, and on their experiences with the process and prospects of developing good theory. Hallmarks of the third edition: Highlights important gains in trans-disciplinary theories of ageing.Emphasises the future of theory development.Provides insights on theory development from living legends in gerontology.Examines what human diversity and inequality mean for ageing theories.Emphasises interconnections between theory, research, intervention, and policy.Underscores international issues with greater representation of international authors.Includes section introductions by the editors and associate editors that summarise theoretical developments.Key Features: Highlights variability and diversity in aging processes, from the cellular level of biological ageing to the societal level of public policy.Provides insights on theory development from living legends in gerontology.Offers intergenerational, interdisciplinary, and international perspectives.Disseminates a forward-thinking, future-oriented focus in theory development.

Описание: They discuss a wide range of disorders, including areas of recent research - such as frontal lobe dementias and the neuropsychological aspects of late life depression - and clinical problems typically given insufficient consideration in other works, such as seizure disorder, head injury, and mental retardation.
