Synopsis
A new reference textbook in geriatric medicine. In contrast to other texts on the subject, this book complements rather than duplicates standard textbooks of internal medicine. Written by the best specialists from North America and the UK., Few if any diseases are specific to old age. However, factors such as multiple pathology and impaired feedback control mechanisms lead to non-specific or 'atypical' presentation of disease, to difficulties in diagnosis, to rapid deterioration of untreated disease and to a high incidence of complications. The geriatrician must include rehabilitation in clinical care plans, and also be aware of the cultural gap that may exist between the old and the younger members of a changing society. Ethical issues may arise in the distribution of scarce societal resources between different age groups, and in considering the needs and rights of caring relatives as well as those of the disabled older patient. Based on these considerations, this new textbook is designed to supplement rather than substitute for textbooks of general medicine. As a frame of reference it is specifically designed as a companion volume to the Oxford Textbook of Medicine . It draws on an international authorship with an emphasis on combining the fruits of experience in clinical geriatrics with a scientific base in research. The various chapters therefore offer both scholarly reviews of fields of knowledge in medical gerontology and firmly practical advice on clinical problems. Field reviews include biological origins and mechanisms of aging, age-associated changes in immunology and other host defences, injury responses, temperature homeostasis, memory, and the aging eye. Practical issues include the management of foot problems, back pain, and infections in older patients. Further chapters deal with ethical issues, the difficulties of carers, and the design of services. The book includes traditional concerns of geriatric medicine such as hypothermia and postural hypotension but also takes a wider perspective on aging with chapters on topics including the post-menopausal state and aging in the Third World. References have been kept to a moderate number aimed at providing a rational and selective entree to the literature rather thatn a comprehensive bibliography., This new edition of the Oxford Textbook of Geriatric Medicine substantially improves on its predecessor. It is the definitive international reference book on an emerging and inescapable medical discipline. There are three new international editors, and many new contributors. Whereas the first edition was designed to complement general textbooks of medicine, this edition stands alone as a reference on all aspects of the medical care of older persons. There is more detailed clinical information on every disease, and this information is given with reference to the changes that take place with ageing, and the resultant appropriate guidance on management and prevention in older patients. There are major sections on common problems in older patients such as incontinence, falls, and delirium. The coverage of ethics, outcomes, legal issues, long-term institutional care, communication, the provision of services, community-orientated support services, and the contribution of non-medical specialists to theory and practice in the care of older persons has been strengthened. There are outstanding new sections on autonomic dysfunction, nutrition, back pain, measurement of quality of life, healthy life-expectancy, arterial disease, failure to thrive, sexuality, perioperative care, and special problems such as elder abuse and driving. There is also a section on useful information, containing various tests and scales. The sections on stroke, memory, cardiovascular disease, the respiratory system, nephrology and the genitourinary system, and neurology and psychiatry, have been substantially revised and updated. The need to balance, for the individual patient, the potential for benefit from modern technology, with risks of ill-effects is central to the practice of medicine in an ageing society. Fortunately, there is a growing literature with evidence for the appropriate management of older persons. The contributors give clear guidance on management, based on a review of the available evidence and emphasizing where these data are limited; and all chapters have been edited by clinicians actively involved in the day-to-day problems of older people. The Oxford Textbook of Geriatric Medicine has an international perspective, with specialist contributors from nine countries. It will provide every physician involved in the care of older patients with a comprehensive resource on all the clinical problems they are likely to encounter, as well as on related psychological, philosophical, and social issues., Few if any diseases are specific to old age.
