Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sinds het verschijnen van de Richtlijn diagnostiek en farmacologische behandeling van dementie in 2005 zijn er veel ontwikkelingen gaande op het gebied van onderzoek, diagnostiek en behandeling van dementie. Het accent is meer komen te liggen op een benadering vanuit de pathologie en minder op de syndroomdiagnose.Oordelen over zogenoemde anti-alzheimermiddelen worden voortaan wetenschappelijk onderbouwd, er worden steeds meer niet-farmacologische interventies ontwikkeld en er is meer aandacht voor de behandeling en zorg van patienten.Deze en andere ontwikkelingen hebben geleid tot dit Handboek dementie. Het is een compleet boek, dat uitgebreid aandacht besteedt aan het interdisciplinaire karakter van de zorg rondom dementie. Dit handboek bestaat uit vier delen: algemene aspecten, diagnostiek, behandeling en beleid en ziektebeelden. Mede door deze overzichtelijke indeling komen alle onderwerpen goed tot hun recht en worden ze in het juiste perspectief geplaatst. Daarnaast is alle informatie zodanig gepresenteerd, dat de informatie goed bruikbaar in de praktijk is.Handboek dementie is een aanrader voor alle professionals die in hun dagelijks werk met dementie in aanraking komen: huisartsen, medisch specialisten, klinisch geriaters, internisten-ouderengeneeskunde, ouderenpsychiaters en specialisten ouderengeneeskunde, klinisch (neuro)psychologen, (psycho)gerontologen en verpleegkundigen.Daarnaast is het boek uitermate geschikt voor studenten geneeskunde en psychologie, alsmede voor studenten van een van bovengenoemde specialismen."

Download or read book Empirical Methods in Natural Language Generation written by Emiel Krahmer and published by Springer. This book was released on 2010-08-17 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Natural language generation (NLG) is a subfield of natural language processing (NLP) that is often characterized as the study of automatically converting non-linguistic representations (e.g., from databases or other knowledge sources) into coherent natural language text. In recent years the field has evolved substantially. Perhaps the most important new development is the current emphasis on data-oriented methods and empirical evaluation. Progress in related areas such as machine translation, dialogue system design and automatic text summarization and the resulting awareness of the importance of language generation, the increasing availability of suitable corpora in recent years, and the organization of shared tasks for NLG, where different teams of researchers develop and evaluate their algorithms on a shared, held out data set have had a considerable impact on the field, and this book offers the first comprehensive overview of recent empirically oriented NLG research.

Download or read book Emerging Technologies for Diagnosing Alzheimer s Disease written by Marianne Boenink and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-09-13 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores international biomedical research and development on the early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. It offers timely, multidisciplinary reflections on the social and ethical issues raised by promises of early diagnostics and asks under which conditions emerging diagnostic technologies can be considered a responsible innovation. The initial chapters in this edited volume provide an overview and a critical discussion of recent developments in biomedical research on Alzheimer's disease. Subsequent contributions explore the values at stake in current practices of dealing with Alzheimer's disease and dementia, both within and outside the biomedical domain. Novel diagnostic technologies for Alzheimer's disease emerge in a complex and shifting field, full of controversies. Innovating with care requires a precise mapping of how concepts, values and responsibilities are filled in through the confrontation of practices. In doing so, the volume offers a practice-based approach of responsible innovation that is also applicable to other fields of innovation.
Download or read book Urban Design and Planning for Age Friendly Environments Across Europe North and South written by Elisa Pozo Menéndez and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-09-29 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book represents a multidisciplinary and international vision across different countries in Europe that are facing similar challenges about ageing and quality of life in present cities. It is divided in three main topics from the global context of health in cities and reduction of health inequities to the current research of different study cases, focusing on residential models and the relationship with the built environment. The third chapter illustrates best practices with some study cases from different cities in Europe. Friendlier environments for older people come together with the need of innovation, smart and updated technologies, healthier environments and mitigation of climate change. Health re-appears nowadays as one of the priorities for urban planning and design, not only for the communicable diseases and the effect of the pandemics, but also for the non-communicable diseases, that were also triggering the wellbeing and equity of our cities. Indeed, the Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted health inequities and vulnerabilities of those areas of the city that were already deprived and facing other health problems, such as obesity, diabetes, social isolation, respiratory problems or mental health issues, specifically applying for vulnerable groups. Older adults have been one of the most affected groups from the pandemic’s threats and derived consequences. In this context, the care crisis arises intertwined with the design and planning of our cities, where there is an urgent need to regenerate our environments with a perspective of sustainability, inclusion, and health prevention and promotion. From the global urban challenges to the specific contextualisation of each city and study cases, each chapter offers an updated insight of the main questions that we should consider to address urban planning and design from the perspective of ageing and social inclusion in European cities.
