Download or read book The Clinical Management of Early Alzheimer s Disease written by Reinhild Mulligan and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2013-05-13 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The enormous human and economic toll of Alzheimer's Disease in societies in which more and more people are living into old age is well-recognized. Scientists and practitioners alike have been working to limit it. Their major focus has been patients in the later stages of the disease, when dementia is fully established. Yet patients in the early stages of cognitive decline, far more numerous, often still living independently with family members, present a bewildering variety of challenges. Bringing together leading authors with diverse expertise, this Handbook offers the first comprehensive overview of approaches to the management of early-stage issues. The authors summarize the important implications of the latest research in their own fields for: * the recognition and formal diagnosis of cognitive problems; * the assessment of specific difficulties in daily functioning; * the formulation of a management plan integrating pharmacological, neuropsychological, behavioral, and cognitive strategies; and * the facilitation and support of caregivers' efforts. All professionals involved in any way with the care of early Alzheimer's patients and their families will find this book an indispensable reference.

Download or read book Social Isolation and Loneliness in Older Adults written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2020-05-14 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social isolation and loneliness are serious yet underappreciated public health risks that affect a significant portion of the older adult population. Approximately one-quarter of community-dwelling Americans aged 65 and older are considered to be socially isolated, and a significant proportion of adults in the United States report feeling lonely. People who are 50 years of age or older are more likely to experience many of the risk factors that can cause or exacerbate social isolation or loneliness, such as living alone, the loss of family or friends, chronic illness, and sensory impairments. Over a life course, social isolation and loneliness may be episodic or chronic, depending upon an individual's circumstances and perceptions. A substantial body of evidence demonstrates that social isolation presents a major risk for premature mortality, comparable to other risk factors such as high blood pressure, smoking, or obesity. As older adults are particularly high-volume and high-frequency users of the health care system, there is an opportunity for health care professionals to identify, prevent, and mitigate the adverse health impacts of social isolation and loneliness in older adults. Social Isolation and Loneliness in Older Adults summarizes the evidence base and explores how social isolation and loneliness affect health and quality of life in adults aged 50 and older, particularly among low income, underserved, and vulnerable populations. This report makes recommendations specifically for clinical settings of health care to identify those who suffer the resultant negative health impacts of social isolation and loneliness and target interventions to improve their social conditions. Social Isolation and Loneliness in Older Adults considers clinical tools and methodologies, better education and training for the health care workforce, and dissemination and implementation that will be important for translating research into practice, especially as the evidence base for effective interventions continues to flourish.

Download or read book Maladie d Alzheimer et troubles de la communication written by Thierry Rousseau and published by Elsevier Health Sciences. This book was released on 2018-01-16 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contrairement aux idées reçues, la communication avec les patients atteints de la maladie d'Alzheimer est possible et essentielle. Cet ouvrage en expose les différents moyens. Ainsi ces troubles de la communication, leur évaluation et leur prise en charge thérapeutique sont au centre de ce livre. Les processus du vieillissement normal et du vieillissement pathologique sont analysés à travers l'hétérogénéité des manifestations symptomatiques, en particulier au niveau de la communication dans les maladies neurodégénératives, et à travers la perte progressive du statut d'individu communicant du malade et de ses conséquences sur son comportement. Un outil d'évaluation des troubles de la communication des malades Alzheimer, basé sur une approche pragmatique et écologique est proposé. Ce dernier tient compte de la complexité des troubles et des influences multifactorielles que subissent les patients. À partir de cette évaluation, la thérapie écosystémique des troubles de la communication est proposée. Conduite par un thérapeute, celle-ci implique la participation de l'entourage familial et professionnel. Cette 2e édition propose une actualisation de l'ensemble des données au regard des avancées scientifiques et thérapeutiques, à l'aide de grilles, échelles et recommandations. Le chapitre sur les thérapies du langage et la communication est particulièrement révisé en y intégrant notamment l'élargissement de la thérapie écosystémique au réseau social. Des compléments en ligne sont également proposés : sept vidéos produites par l'auteur et trois documents à télécharger. Ceux-ci présentent les moyens pour évaluer la communication ; la thérapie écosystémique ; la grille d'évaluation des capacités de communication (GECCO), qui est également téléchargeable et imprimable en ligne, via un lien présent dans l'ouvrage.- Les processus du vieillissement normal et du vieillissement pathologique analysés à travers l'hétérogénéité des manifestations symptomatiques : communication dans les maladies neurodégénératives, perte progressive du statut d'individu communicant, conséquences sur le comportement du malade. - Un outil d'évaluation des troubles de la communication des malades Alzheimer, basé sur une approche pragmatique et écologique. - La thérapie écosystémique des troubles de la communication conduite par un thérapeute avec la participation de l'entourage du malade.
