Book Description
Le médecin généraliste est de plus en plus confronté à un accroissement du nombre de sujets âgés, polypathologiques, de plus de 75 ans et à une augmentation de l'incidence des cancers dans cette population. Malgré la grande hétérogénéité des sujets âgés, l'âge chronologique ne doit pas être le seul critère de décision diagnostique et thérapeutique. L'évaluation gérontologique standardisée et les recommandations qui en découlent apparaissent être un excellent moyen objectif de leur assurer une prise en charge adaptée. Nous avons réalisé une étude de vingt et un patients âgés de 75 ans et plus, atteints d'un cancer dans un secteur semi-rural. Ces patients appartiennent à deux cabinets de médecine générale. Nous avons ainsi comparé les patients d'un cabinet bénéficiant d'une évaluation gérontologique standardisée à leur domicile aux patients du deuxième cabinet ne recevant aucune évaluation. Un suivi est réalisé quatre mois plus tard. Nous avons ainsi démontré l'intérêt de l'évaluation gérontologique dans cette population.

ISBN: 1496331834
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 1004
Book Description
Sickle Cell Pain is a panoramic, in-depth exploration of every scientific, human, and social dimension of this cruel disease. This comprehensive, definitive work is unique in that it is the only book devoted to sickle cell pain, as opposed to general aspects of the disease. The 752-page book links sickle cell pain to basic, clinical, and translational research, addressing various aspects of sickle pain from molecular biology to the psychosocial aspects of the disease. Supplemented with patient narratives, case studies, and visual art, Sickle Cell Pain’s scientific rigor extends through its discussion of analgesic pharmacology, including abuse-deterrent formulations. The book also addresses in great detail inequities in access to care, stereotyping and stigmatization of patients, the implications of rapidly evolving models of care, and recent legislation and litigation and their consequences.

Suicide Risk Management

ISBN: 0470750332
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 148
Book Description
This highly practical book explains how to identify and manage suicidal individuals and supports the health professional in assisting the patient to choose life rather than death. Suicide Risk Management: A Manual for Health Professionals provides health professionals with the tools to recognize, assess, and manage the suicidal or potentially suicidal patient and presents important information regarding the epidemiology, risk factors and associated aspects of suicide. The book presents two unique assessment tools – TASR and SRAG – created for use in the authors’ own practice. Refined through actual experience, these proven tools help assess and evaluate patients with confidence. The Tool for Assessment of Suicide Risk (TASR) provides instruction on how to use it appropriately in the clinic, while the Suicide Risk Assessment Guide (SRAG) acts as a self-study program to assess clinical evaluation skills, without running the risk of mishandling a suicidal patient. Throughout Suicide Risk Management: A Manual for Health Professionals, bulleted lists, tables and flowcharts effectively describe how to use the many factors to assess the risk of suicide in an individual patient. A summary card at the back of the book also provides an 'at a glance' guide to the assessment process.
