This book was released on 2017 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contexte : Les personnes âgées fragiles, notamment celles de plus de 75 ans, sont les plus à risque de perte d'autonomie. Le médecin généraliste a un rôle essentiel dans la prescription d'activités physiques adaptées (APA) aux personnes âgées fragiles, afin de rendre ces personnes plus actives et moins sédentaires. Notre étude, observationnelle, quantitative, avait pour but de décrire la prescription d'APA des médecins généralistes d'Indre et Loire, à leurs patients âgées fragiles de plus de 75 ans. Résultats : 211 médecins généralistes ont répondu à l'enquête (taux de participation = 41,1%). Parmi les 203 (93,2%) médecins qui déclaraient inciter leurs patients âgés fragiles à pratiquer des APA, 166 (81.8%) donnaient des conseils généraux, 63 (31%) précisaient la durée et la fréquence des activités physiques, et 15 (7,4%) donnaient un programme détaillé d'activités physiques adaptées (type d'APA, durée, fréquence, intensité). Les prescriptions d'APA étaient essentiellement orales (93,1%). 8,9% des médecins effectuaient une prescription écrite et 12,3% remettaient une brochure d'information sur l'AP. Les types d'APA les plus cités étaient: l'équilibre et la lutte contre les chutes (70,9%) et la souplesse et le maintien des amplitudes articulaires (53,2%) pour les activités encadrées par un professionnel. La marche (97%), la gymnastique douce (73,9%) et le maintien des activités de la vie quotidienne (70,9%) étaient les plus citées parmi les activités libres ou en structure associative. Conclusion : La prescription d'APA chez les personnes âgées fragiles, par les médecins généralistes d'Indre et Loire, consiste essentiellement en des recommandations générales, à l'oral. Les APA proposées visent le maintien de l'autonomie et la lutte contre les chutes. Une meilleure information sur les modalités de prescription d'APA et sur les structures qui en proposent permettrait sans doute d'améliorer le nombre et l'efficience des prescriptions d'APA.

This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contexte : Le vieillissement de la population représente un problème de santé publique important. Pour les personnes âgées souvent fragiles et en perte d'autonomie, les médecins généralistes ont une place centrale dans la mise en place de l'activité physique adaptée aux personnes âgées, pour qu'elles soient moins sédentaires et pratiquent une activité physique. Notre étude qualitative avait pour but de d'évaluer les connaissances de l'activité physique adaptée chez la personne âgée et de sa mise en place par les médecins généralistes. Résultats : Treize médecins généralistes ont été interrogés pour la réalisation de cette étude qualitative. L'ensemble des médecins déclaraient conseiller la pratique de l'activité physique à leurs patients âgés. Cependant la prescription de l'activité physique adaptée est souvent mal connue par les médecins généralistes qui rencontrent plusieurs freins à sa mise en place comme le manque de connaissances ou d'informations sur les parcours de soins et les structures existantes. De plus un manque de temps à consacrer à sa mise en place est également souligné. Pour ces raisons, peu de médecins indiquaient la fréquence et la durée de l'activité physique avec un programme précis. Et la prescription de l'APA chez les personnes âgées était plutôt à base de conseils oraux et généraux. Conclusion : La prescription de l'activité physique adaptée chez les personnes âgées par les médecins repose essentiellement sur des conseils généraux et oraux afin de limiter la perte d'autonomie et ses complications. Cependant, pour améliorer la mise en place de l'activité physique adaptée chez la personne âgée, devant le manque de connaissances et d'informations que soulignent les médecins généralistes, des éclaircissements sur la prescription de l'APA et des structures proposant de l'APA pourraient améliorer la mise en place de cette dernière.
Download or read book The Post polio Syndrome written by Marinos C. Dalakas and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Post-polio syndrome (PPS) embodies the new neuromuscular symptoms that patients with prior paralytic poliomyelitis develop after a stable course from 20 to 40 years. These include new muscle weakness, fatigue, muscular atrophy, muscle pain and various secondary muscular complaints. Fundamental questions regarding the neurobiology of the motor neurones previously affected by the poliovirus, the ongoing changes of the reinnervating process, and the potential role of the poliovirus in generating a chronic immune stimulation or viral persistence are discussed in this volume. Data from the neurological, immunological, virological, electrophysiological and rehabilitational fields is presented, shedding light on the pathogenesis of post-polio syndrome, as well as that of other motor neurone diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Book excerpt: SCIENCE AND EMPIRES: FROM THE INTERNATIONAL COLLOQUIUM TO THE BOOK Patrick PETITJEAN, Catherine JAMI and Anne Marie MOULIN The International Colloquium "Science and Empires - Historical Studies about Scientific De velopment and European Expansion" is the product of an International Colloquium, "Sciences and Empires - A Comparative History of Scien tific Exchanges: European Expansion and Scientific Development in Asian, African, American and Oceanian Countries". Organized by the REHSEIS group (Research on Epistemology and History of Exact Sciences and Scientific Institutions) of CNRS (National Center for Scientific Research), the colloquium was held from 3 to 6 April 1990 in the UNESCO building in Paris. This colloquium was an idea of Professor Roshdi Rashed who initiated this field of studies in France some years ago, and proposed "Sciences and Empires" as one of the main research programmes for the The project to organize such a colloquium was a bit REHSEIS group. of a gamble. Its subject, reflected in the title "Sciences and Empires", is not a currently-accepted sub-discipline of the history of science; rather, it refers to a set of questions which found autonomy only recently. The terminology was strongly debated by the participants and, as is frequently suggested in this book, awaits fuller clarification.
Download or read book Conscripts and Deserters written by Alan I. Forrest and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1989 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between the outbreak of war with Austria in 1792 and Napoleon's final debacle in 1814, France remained almost continously at war, recruiting in the process some two to three million frenchmen--a level of recruitment unknown to previous generations and widely resented as an attack on the liberties of rural communities. Forrest challenges the notion of a nation heroically rushing to arms by examining the massive rates of desertion and avoidance of service as well as their consequences on French society--on military campaigns and the morale of armies, on political opinion at home, on the social fabric of local villages, and on the Napoleonic dream of bringing about a coherent and centralized state.
Download or read book Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment written by Alberto Pilotto and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-12-29 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers an up-to-date review on the principles and practice of multidimensional assessment and management of the older individual, which represents the cornerstone of modern clinical practice in the elderly. The early chapters cover the main elements and scope of the comprehensive geriatric approach and explain the pathways of care from screening and case finding through to in-depth assessment and treatment planning. Subsequent chapters review the evidence of how best to apply the multidimensional assessment and management approach in defined healthcare settings and within specific clinical areas, such as cancer and surgery. Finally, the education and training challenges are reviewed and the prospects for future clinical service and research in this important field are examined. The book is very timely given the recent advances in application of this approach, which reflect the growing international realization that older people are “core business” in many clinical areas where the role of specialist geriatric medicine has hitherto been limited. Accordingly, the book will be relevant to a wide range of clinicians. The authorship comprises many of the best known and widely published experts in their respective fields.
Download or read book Bourdieu and Literature written by John R. W. Speller and published by Open Book Publishers. This book was released on 2011 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bourdieu and Literature is a wide-ranging, rigorous and accessible introduction to the relationship between Pierre Bourdieu's work and literary studies. It provides a comprehensive overview and critical assessment of his contributions to literary theory and his thinking about authors and literary works. One of the foremost French intellectuals of the post-war era, Bourdieu has become a standard point of reference in the fields of anthropology, linguistics, art history, cultural studies, politics, and sociology, but his longstanding interest in literature has often been overlooked. This study explores the impact of literature on Bourdieu's intellectual itinerary, and how his literary understanding intersected with his sociological theory and thinking about cultural policy. This is the first full-length study of Bourdieu's work on literature in English, and it provides an invaluable resource for students and scholars of literary studies, cultural theory and sociology.
Download or read book Life Interpretation and the Sense of Illness within the Human Condition written by Anna-Teresa Tymieniecka and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In medicine the understanding and interpretation of the complex reality of illness currently refers either to an organismic approach that focuses on the physical or to a 'holistic' approach that takes into account the patient's human sociocultural involvement. Yet as the papers of this collection show, the suffering human person refers ultimately to his/her existential sphere. Hence, praxis is supplemented by still other perspectives for valuation and interpretation: ethical, spiritual, and religious. Can medicine ignore these considerations or push them to the side as being subjective and arbitrary? Phenomenology/philosophy-of-life recognizes all of the above approaches to be essential facets of the Human Condition (Tymieniecka). This approach holds that all the facets of the Human Condition have equal objectivity and legitimacy. It completes the accepted medical outlook and points the way toward a new `medical humanism'.

Download or read book Minerva s Message written by Martin S. Staum and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 1996-10-17 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In theory the CMPS was set up to enshrine the human and social studies that were at the heart of Enlightenment culture. Staum illustrates, however, that the Institute helped transform key ideas of the Enlightenment in order to maintain civil rights while upholding social stability, and that the social and political assumptions on which it was based affected notions of social science. He traces the careers of individual members and the factions within the Institute, arguing that the discord within the CMPS reflects the unravelling of Enlightenment culture. Minerva's Message presents a valuable overview of the intellectual life of the period and brings together new evidence about the social sciences in their nascent period.

Download or read book Orthogeriatrics written by Paolo Falaschi and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new open access edition supported by the Fragility Fracture Network aims at giving the widest possible dissemination on fragility fracture (especially hip fracture) management and notably in countries where this expertise is sorely needed. It has been extensively revised and updated by the experts of this network to provide a unique and reliable content in one single volume. Throughout the book, attention is given to the difficult question of how to provide best practice in countries where the discipline of geriatric medicine is not well established and resources for secondary prevention are scarce. The revised and updated chapters on the epidemiology of hip fractures, osteoporosis, sarcopenia, surgery, anaesthesia, medical management of frailty, peri-operative complications, rehabilitation and nursing are supplemented by six new chapters. These include an overview of the multidisciplinary approach to fragility fractures and new contributions on pre-hospital care, treatment in the emergency room, falls prevention, nutrition and systems for audit. The reader will have an exhaustive overview and will gain essential, practical knowledge on how best to manage fractures in elderly patients and how to develop clinical systems that do so reliably.
