Pathy's Principles and Practice of Geriatric Medicine
Author: Alan J. Sinclair
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1119954142
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 3453
Book Description
This new edition of the comprehensive and renowned textbook Principles and Practice of Geriatric Medicine offers a fully revised and updated review of geriatric medicine. It covers the full spectrum of the subject, features 41 new chapters, and provides up-to-date, evidence-based, and practical information about the varied medical problems of ageing citizens. The three editors, from UK, USA and France, have ensured that updated chapters provide a global perspective of geriatric medicine, as well as reflect the changes in treatment options and medical conditions which have emerged since publication of the 4th edition in 2006. The book includes expanded sections on acute stroke, dementia, cardiovascular disease, and respiratory diseases, and features a new section on end-of-life care.

Geriatric Neurology
Author: Anil K. Nair
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 111873064X
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 760
Book Description
Aging affects neurological function leading to neurological disease As society grows older, so do the neurological problems associated with aging. These can be new neurological deficits due to the aging process itself, or the effect of aging on already existing neurological conditions. Neurologists will spend increasing amounts of time managing patients with age-related neurological complications. Geriatric Neurology brings together the wisdom of world-leading experts. They have crafted a new textbook to define this emerging subspecialty from basic science through clinical assessment and medical management to social aspects of patient care. Geriatric Neurology covers: The aging brain in neurology Assessment of the geriatric neurology patient Neurological conditions in the elderly Therapeutics for the geriatric neurology patient Management issues beyond therapeutics Comprehensive in scope but with practical focus for effective patient care, Geriatric Neurology provides top-of-class guidance for the management of elderly patients with neurological disorders.

Book Description
Does a longer life mean a healthier life? The number of adults over 65 in the United States is growing, but many may not be aware that they are at greater risk from foodborne diseases and their nutritional needs change as they age. The IOM's Food Forum held a workshop October 29-30, 2009, to discuss food safety and nutrition concerns for older adults.

Individual Differences in Retronasal Odor Responsiveness

Category : Flavor
Languages : en
Pages : 62
Book Description
Taste sensitivity has been considered the primary chemosensory factor in studies of chemical senses and ingestive behavior. However, recent research has shown that retronasal olfaction is at least equally important in food preference and selection. Additionally, taste has been shown to modulate perceived intensity of retronasally perceived odors. The objectives of this study were (1) to measure individual differences in retronasal olfactory responsiveness to food odors in the presence and absence of a congruent taste; and (2) to determine the effect of aging and gender on retronasal olfactory responsiveness. We hypothesized that when measured independently, variations in responsiveness to retronasal odors are greater than those of tastes, but that these variations are effectively reduced by the presence of a congruent taste, particularly for older individuals. Additionally, as taste and retronasal odor were being evaluated separately, it provided us a unique opportunity to compare responsiveness within and across modality. Two groups of subjects (young cohort, n=54, and old cohort, n=48) were asked to sample 2 tastants, 4 food odorants, and the congruent taste-odor pairs, and rate intensities for appropriate categories. Results showed that responsiveness to odors varied greatly among individuals compared to that of tastes and further that variations in odor responsiveness were greater for old compared to young cohort. In the presence of a congruent taste, however, the variations in responsiveness to the odors were significantly reduced, with greater effect in the old cohort. In addition, responsiveness to the tastes and odors were correlated. Furthermore, the degree of correlation was greater within taste or odor attributes than across modality. These findings imply that an individual's responsiveness to 1 or 2 prototypical tastants or food odors may be predictive of an individual's overall responsiveness for the given modality. The current data also suggest that older individuals, or those with low olfactory sensitivity in general may not recognize the reduced sensitivity when consuming foods.
