Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Age Its Care and Treatment in Health and Disease This question is quite proper to be asked as it implies no undue clinging to life or fear of death rather is it a natural and sane desire to wish to live so long as the body can duly perform its func tions, and it is a sound belief that this period may be prolonged by proper knowledge of the principles of health, and by due attention to them. These principles are discussed in the following pages, the first object of which is to teach how healthy old age may be attained. But in the second place, as old age is not immune from diseases, and as from disregard or ignorance of the principles of health, these are by no means few or unimportant, this book describes the diseases to which the aged are especially liable, points out how they are caused, by what means they may be avoided, and how they may be appropriately treated.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Geriatrics: The Diseases of Old Age and Their Treatment; Including Physiological Old Age, Home and Institutional Care, and Medico-Legal Relations The generous reception of the first edition by the medical profession is an encouraging indication that the field of geriatrics is not a barren waste, that with more wide-spread interest and more extended research it may become one of the most fruitful fields in the realm of medicine. Containing features new in thought and elaboration and views differing radically from existing views, it was expected that the work would be severely criticised. Reviewers, generally, have been gracious in their criticisms, pointing out errors and questioning opinions. The basic proposition that "Senility is a physiological entity analogous to childhood and not a pathological state of maturity," has been questioned on the grounds that there is no senile norm and no point at which we can fix the beginning of the senile state. All anatomical and physiological standards are based upon averages, drawn in some cases from widely separated normal limits. In childhood we fix standards year by year. We could, in the same manner, fix yearly norms in old age although the limits would be more widely separated as some age sooner than others. And just as we fix the limit of childhood at puberty, although the period of development continues until the third decade, we can fix the beginning of old age at the menopause and male critical period, although some organs begin to degenerate before this time. The basic proposition is being accepted by those who have given thought to the subject and who realize that in dealing with senile diseases the object must be to restore the organism to the normal senile state and not to the normal state of maturity. It is hardly necessary to justify the new classification of diseases. The ordinary classifications, based partly upon etiology, partly upon functions and physiological relations, partly upon anatomical position, partly upon the supposed nature of pathological states, is unscientific and irrational. The classification in this work is based upon the relation of the diseases to the senile processes. This can be elaborated by making subdivisions of the five groups. In this edition the third and fourth groups of the first edition have been transposed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the Decline of Life in Health and Disease: Being an Attempt to Investigate the Causes of Longevity; And the Best Means of Attaining a Healthful Old Age The celebrated Heberden remarked, that the life of a physician should be like that of a vestal virgin, which was divided into three periods; in the first of which she learned her profession, in the second she practised it, and in the third she, also, taught it to others. I have certainly passed through the first and second of these periods: after several years employed in the study of my profession, I have spent thirty-five years in the practice of it, and, anxious to fulfil completely my vocation, I desire before I quit the stage to strike one blow for the good cause, to do something, however slight, to improve the sanatory condition of mankind, to alleviate pain, and oppose the influence of disease. I cannot hope, strictly speaking, "to teach my profession to others." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Geriatrics: A Treatise on Senile Conditions, Diseases of Advanced Life, and Care of the Aged Geriatrics includes, not only the treatment of senile diseases, but also the care of the aged, the causes of age ing, and measures for prolonging life. Many of the arteriosclerotic and other senile changes begin about the age of forty-five, and proper attention at this time would prevent their too rapid development. The study of geriatrics should then include persons about fifty: about the time when the senile changes first become manifest. With increasing interest in this subject it is not too much to expect special geriatric hospitals, laboratories.

Without attempting a complete account of old age and its diseases I have passed in review some ancient and modern medical aspects of this subject, but, except for incidental references, medical treatment has not been considered.

Book excerpt: "The Nation has lost sight of its public health goals and has allowed the system of public health to fall into 'disarray'," from The Future of Public Health. This startling book contains proposals for ensuring that public health service programs are efficient and effective enough to deal not only with the topics of today, but also with those of tomorrow. In addition, the authors make recommendations for core functions in public health assessment, policy development, and service assurances, and identify the level of government--federal, state, and local--at which these functions would best be handled.

Download or read book The Role of Telehealth in an Evolving Health Care Environment written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2012-12-20 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1996, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) released its report Telemedicine: A Guide to Assessing Telecommunications for Health Care. In that report, the IOM Committee on Evaluating Clinical Applications of Telemedicine found telemedicine is similar in most respects to other technologies for which better evidence of effectiveness is also being demanded. Telemedicine, however, has some special characteristics-shared with information technologies generally-that warrant particular notice from evaluators and decision makers. Since that time, attention to telehealth has continued to grow in both the public and private sectors. Peer-reviewed journals and professional societies are devoted to telehealth, the federal government provides grant funding to promote the use of telehealth, and the private technology industry continues to develop new applications for telehealth. However, barriers remain to the use of telehealth modalities, including issues related to reimbursement, licensure, workforce, and costs. Also, some areas of telehealth have developed a stronger evidence base than others. The Health Resources and Service Administration (HRSA) sponsored the IOM in holding a workshop in Washington, DC, on August 8-9 2012, to examine how the use of telehealth technology can fit into the U.S. health care system. HRSA asked the IOM to focus on the potential for telehealth to serve geographically isolated individuals and extend the reach of scarce resources while also emphasizing the quality and value in the delivery of health care services. This workshop summary discusses the evolution of telehealth since 1996, including the increasing role of the private sector, policies that have promoted or delayed the use of telehealth, and consumer acceptance of telehealth. The Role of Telehealth in an Evolving Health Care Environment: Workshop Summary discusses the current evidence base for telehealth, including available data and gaps in data; discuss how technological developments, including mobile telehealth, electronic intensive care units, remote monitoring, social networking, and wearable devices, in conjunction with the push for electronic health records, is changing the delivery of health care in rural and urban environments. This report also summarizes actions that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) can undertake to further the use of telehealth to improve health care outcomes while controlling costs in the current health care environment.
