Par Réjean Hébert. 2023
Soigner les vieux, c'est d'abord adapter le système de santé au vieillissement de la population. Soigner les vieux, c'est aussi…
permettre aux personnes âgées de participer pleinement à la société. Soigner les vieux, c'est enfin tirer des leçons de la pandémie de COVID-19. Soigner les vieux, c'est la mission que poursuit le Dr Réjean Hébert pour un meilleur système de soins public et une société plus juste, inclusive et respectueuse de tous ses citoyens et citoyennesDemenz im Film: Wie das Kino vergessen lernte
Par Dennis Henkel. 2023
Seit der Jahrtausendwende wagen Filmemacher immer häufiger, das gesellschaftlich drängende Thema Demenz in Großproduktionen aufzugreifen - für die große Leinwand…
mit ihren hochbudgetierten Produktionen war das bis dahin zu brenzlig, kontrovers und für Kassenschlager schlicht ungeeignet. Der Trend setzt sich bis heute fort: Allein 2020 schafften es sechs Großproduktionen um das Thema Demenz, teils mit Hollywoodstars besetzt, in die großen Kinosäle. Das Kino lernt also Vergessen! Die Autoren begeben sich in diesem Buch auf die Spuren dieser Entwicklung und heben gesellschaftlich und künstlerisch bemerkenswerte Aspekte hervor: Sie skizzieren die Perspektive der Erkrankten, der Angehörigen und die filmische Darstellung von Pflegeeinrichtungen. Filme weiblicher Regisseure und Werke aus anderen Kulturen fügen eine antipatriarchische und internationale Sichtweise auf die Erkrankung hinzu und zeigen Standpunkte jenseits stereotyper Vorstellungen auf. Darüber hinaus stellen die Autoren Filme vor, die das Thema “Demenz” mit weiteren umstrittenen Themen verbinden, wie z. B. der Homosexualität. Diese nutzen die Kraft der Fiktion, um uns zukünftige Weltentwürfe zu zeigen, in denen z. B. künstliche Intelligenz und futuristische Techniken Dementen das Leben erleichtern. Das Buch möchte so auf unterhaltsame Weise einen Beitrag zur Aufklärung über Demenz leisten und auch sensibilisieren für die künstlerisch-filmische Aufbereitung einerseits und medizinische Realität andererseits. Es richtet sich an alle kinobegeisterten Leser, ob mit oder ohne medizinisch-fachliche Vorkenntnisse - für unvergessliche Einblicke in das Thema “Demenz im Film”!Long Life Strategy: A Guide for Living a Longer, Healthier, and More Fulfilling life
Par Ronald M. Caplan. 2023
The second edition of Long Life Strategy builds upon the practical tips and knowledge in the first edition by providing readers…
with an outline to living a longer, healthier, more enjoyable life and late life. The book elaborates on three major areas, which include what you can do to live a long life, what your doctor should be doing to help you achieve this goal, and what society, of which we are all part, should be doing to better accommodate a growing number of older people in the coming decades. Dr. Caplan begins by introducing what it means to live a longer life and explaining the current research on delaying, preventing, and reversing aging in our cells. The next chapters detail how to prevent diseases and conditions commonly associated with aging, including diabetes, cancer, osteoporosis, mental health decline, sexual dysfunction, and heart disease. The author provides instruction for good diet and exercise choices. The concluding chapters provide useful advice for managing a fixed income, becoming a grandparent, dealing with the sickness and loss of a life partner, and how to maintain social relationships into late life.

Par Sanjay Bhadada, Liza Das, Rimesh Pal. 2023
Endocrinology is perhaps, the only branch of medicine where stimulation and suppression testing are required as the initial step for…
biochemical confirmation of the clinical condition as hormone secretion is pulsatile. One of the primary needs for an endocrinologist is a pocketbook that can serve as a guide for performing and interpreting these tests. Unfortunately, there is no single source of these protocols, procedures, and interpretation of these tests in the country or even in the Southeast Asia region. This protocol manual is designed to be a ‘ready reckoner’ for endocrinologists for performing these tests. Disorders of various endocrine glands, including pituitary, thyroid, pancreas, adrenal, gonads, and bone and mineral disorders, have been addressed. The book includes prerequisites and indications of a given test, principles of the testing, detailed procedure, and interpretation. Participant information and instruction sheets have been included, when applicable, to be given as a handout to patients prior to these tests. The manual contains algorithms (e.g., for approaching cases with hypoglycemia) and interpretation provided in a tabular format. It also lists troubleshooting measures for specific tests, when applicable. Further, clinical case scenarios substantiated by clinical and radiological images have been incorporated in the manual to highlight the procedure and interpretation of these tests in the management of challenging clinical cases. The manual is designed to be a comprehensive yet concise document covering all these aspects. Besides blood-based investigations, procedures which are undertaken in challenging endocrine scenarios, including inferior petrosal sinus sampling, and adrenal venous sampling have been elucidated in a crisp and practical manner.Older Mexicans and Latinos in the United States: Where Worlds Meet

the labor force, and healthcare systems. It examines in depth the causes and consequences of the increasing prevalence of cognitive impairment and dementia, especially early-onset decline in the Mexican-origin population. The book identifies resilience factors as critical to successful aging and health in the Mexican and Mexican-American populations from a transdisciplinary perspective. It also examines the diversity in the experiences of older adults with dementia and related disorders and that of their families in Mexico and the United States. The book also helps to better understand the levels of need and support capacity in both nations and the organizational contexts of long-term care in both countries. The ultimate goal of this sixth volume in the series on aging in the Americas is to identify critical sources of vulnerability and possible policy options for closing the gap in affordable and sustainable long-term care and financial wellbeing for low-resource populations living with dementia and other medical conditions in both countries. The volume presents new information, consensus data, potential venues for intervention, and action frameworks to advance current knowledge grounded in global aging health systems research of closing disparities in vulnerable populations at high risk of declining cognitive and physical health in two different political contexts. As such, the book provides a wealth of information for researchers, policy makers and professionals in the field of population aging.Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity
Par Peter Attia. 2023
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • OVER ONE MILLION COPIES SOLD • A groundbreaking manifesto on living better and longer…
that challenges the conventional medical thinking on aging and reveals a new approach to preventing chronic disease and extending long-term health, from a visionary physician and leading longevity expert &“One of the most important books you&’ll ever read.&”—Steven D. Levitt, New York Times bestselling author of Freakonomics AN ECONOMIST AND BLOOMBERG BEST BOOK OF THE YEARWouldn&’t you like to live longer? And better? In this operating manual for longevity, Dr. Peter Attia draws on the latest science to deliver innovative nutritional interventions, techniques for optimizing exercise and sleep, and tools for addressing emotional and mental health. For all its successes, mainstream medicine has failed to make much progress against the diseases of aging that kill most people: heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer&’s disease, and type 2 diabetes. Too often, it intervenes with treatments too late to help, prolonging lifespan at the expense of healthspan, or quality of life. Dr. Attia believes we must replace this outdated framework with a personalized, proactive strategy for longevity, one where we take action now, rather than waiting. This is not &“biohacking,&” it&’s science: a well-founded strategic and tactical approach to extending lifespan while also improving our physical, cognitive, and emotional health. Dr. Attia&’s aim is less to tell you what to do and more to help you learn how to think about long-term health, in order to create the best plan for you as an individual. In Outlive, readers will discover: • Why the cholesterol test at your annual physical doesn&’t tell you enough about your actual risk of dying from a heart attack.• That you may already suffer from an extremely common yet underdiagnosed liver condition that could be a precursor to the chronic diseases of aging.• Why exercise is the most potent pro-longevity &“drug&”—and how to begin training for the &“Centenarian Decathlon.&”• Why you should forget about diets, and focus instead on nutritional biochemistry, using technology and data to personalize your eating pattern.• Why striving for physical health and longevity, but ignoring emotional health, could be the ultimate curse of all. Aging and longevity are far more malleable than we think; our fate is not set in stone. With the right roadmap, you can plot a different path for your life, one that lets you outlive your genes to make each decade better than the one before.Immunonutrition: Interactions of Diet, Genetics, and Inflammation
