Geriatric Rehabilitation From Bedside to Curbside

Geriatric Rehabilitation From Bedside to Curbside

Geriatric Rehabilitation addresses the fact that this is an age in which individuals have increasing longevity better health care education and expectations of health care which present new increasing and even radical challenges to health care providers. The care of our older patients in rehabilitation settings demands the broad understanding of the key differences in strategies to care for older adults. The combined skills embraced in rehabilitation and geriatrics are presenting unprecedented opportunities for both fields to make substantive and even ground-breaking improvements in the lives of millions of older adults who entrust their lives to us. Rarely in one’s medical career are such opportunities so evident and achievable. Geriatric Rehabilitation edited by Dr. K. Rao Poduri MD. FAAPMR draws on a distinguished group of authors who are the front-line providers of care to the older adults. This book presents the full spectrum of the unique care needs of older patients who need the combined skills of physical medicine and geriatrics.

Translational Medicine Strategies and Statistical Methods

Translational Medicine Strategies and Statistical Methods

Examines Critical Decisions for Transitioning Lab Science to a Clinical SettingThe development of therapeutic pharmaceutical compounds is becoming more expensive and the success rates for getting such treatments approved for marketing and to the patients is decreasing. As a result translational medicine (TM) is becoming increasingly important in the healthcare industry – a means of maximizing the consideration and use of information collected as compounds transition from initial lab discovery through pre-clinical testing early clinical trials and late confirmatory studies that lead to regulatory approval of drug release to patients. Translational Medicine: Strategies and Statistical Methods suggests a process for transitioning from the initial lab discovery to the patient’s bedside with minimal disconnect and offers a comprehensive review of statistical design and methodology commonly employed in this bench-to-bedside research. Documents Alternative Research Approaches for Faster and More Accurate Data Judgment CallsElaborating on how to introduce TM into clinical studies this authoritative work presents a keen approach to building executing and validating statistical models that consider data from various phases of development. It also delineates a truly translational example to help bolster understanding of discussed concepts. This comprehensive guide effectively demonstrates how to overcome obstacles related to successful TM practice. It contains invaluable information for pharmaceutical scientists research executives clinicians and biostatisticians looking to expedite successful implementation of this important process. | Translational Medicine Strategies and Statistical Methods

The Voices and Rooms of European Bioethics

The Voices and Rooms of European Bioethics

This book reflects on the many contributions made in and to European bioethics to date in various locations and from various disciplinary perspectives. In so doing the book advances understanding of the academic and social status of European bioethics as it is being supported and practiced by various disciplines such as philosophy law medicine and the social sciences applied to a wide range of areas. The European focus offers a valuable counter-balance to an often prominent US understanding of bioethics. The volume is split into four parts. The first contains reflection on bioethics in the past present and future and also considers how comparison between countries and disciplines can enrich bioethical discourse. The second looks at bioethics in particular locations and contexts including: policy boardrooms and courtrooms; studios and virtual rooms; and society while the third part explores the translation of theories and concepts of bioethics into the clinical setting. The fourth and final section focuses on academic expressions of bioethics as it is theorised in various disciplines and also as it is taught whether in classrooms or at the patient’s bedside. The book features unique contributions from a range of experts including: Alastair V Campbell; Ruth Chadwick; Angus Dawson; Raymond G. De Vries; Suzanne Ost; Renzo Pegoraro; Rouven Porz; Paul Schotsmans; Jochen Vollmann; Guy Widdershoven and Hub Zwart.

Clinical Cases A Step-by-Step Approach

Clinical Cases A Step-by-Step Approach

It is vitally important for medical students and junior doctors to grasp an understanding of ‘real-life medicine’. This innovative book of cases shows how a particular presentation may progress and the different complications that may arise and emerge over time which may be missed by the ‘snapshot in time' approach taken by many problem-based volumes. The content reflects the average length of stay for a patient in hospital in which their situation can change in a multitude of ways and the management of chronic conditions may also need to be adapted as complications arise. Demonstrates the real bedside experiences that medical students can expect in whichever simple or complex way that they may present Cases selected from a range of sub-specialties for comprehensive coverage across the curriculum Illustrates the complicated progressive problems that will be seen while practicing as a doctor with detailed diagrams and diagnostic imagery to aid understanding Shows with timepoints how differential diagnoses may change as more information becomes available and new symptoms arise Describes a typical initial hospital stay and subsequent presentations to the general practitioner and hospital readmission The Authors Andrew Solomon BM BCH MA(Hons) DM FRCP is a Consultant Physician East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust Stevenage UK.

Learning from Disease in Pets A ‘One Health’ Model for Discovery

Learning from Disease in Pets A ‘One Health’ Model for Discovery

Learning from Disease in Pets: A ‘One Health’ Model for Discovery is the first encompassing reference guide for veterinarians researchers and physicians on conducting studies using spontaneous models of disease in animals. The study of naturally occurring disease in (pet) animals can help model our understanding of the biology prevention and therapy of human and animal diseases. Studies of pet dogs for instance can aid treatment of complex medical problems such as cancer orthopedic cardiopulmonary and neuro-inflammatory diseases and zoonotic infections. Each chapter within this novel cross-species approach is contributed by a leader or leaders in their field of research. Using clinical trials to learn how pets with real diseases respond to therapy can lead to breakthroughs in human medicine as well as benefiting pets suffering from otherwise debilitating illness. Despite similarities of diseases across species there are very few spontaneous models of disease used in research compared with models where disease is induced in healthy laboratory animals. Many medical researchers and veterinarians have a multitude of questions regarding how to use naturally occurring diseases in pets for the discovery of treatments and diagnostics: this book will demonstrate how to safely make this happen. This book encourages veterinarians to build on and disseminate existing findings for the wider benefit of pets and humans. Many pets suffering from incurable illnesses may benefit from clinical trials; the book includes a section on the imperative communication styles necessary within the research environment and with clients a compelling discussion on the ethics of using pets in veterinary clinical research comprehensive tables of diseases that spontaneously occur in animals and humans the regulatory requirements necessary to move therapy from benchside research to patient bedside as well as intricate details on how to design a robust clinical study. | Learning from Disease in Pets A ‘One Health’ Model for Discovery
