Download or read book Guide Pratique de la Consultation En G riatrie written by Laurence Hugonot-Diener and published by Elsevier Masson. This book was released on 2014-04 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le vieillissement de la population confronte de plus en plus le praticien aux patients particuliers que sont les sujets âgés. Outre l'examen clinique traditionnel, l'évaluation gérontologique standardisée (EGS) doit rentrer dans la pratique courante de tout généraliste. Cet examen permet d'évaluer l'ensemble des fonctions cognitives, sociales, et l'autonomie fonctionnelle d'un patient. À l'aide des nombreux tests courts et pratiques de diagnostic, cet ouvrage permet au praticien de suivre l'évolution physique et psychique des personnes âgées. Il propose tout d'abord un examen clinique spécifique (évaluation cognitive, thymique, nutritionnelle, de l'équilibre et de la marche, évaluation fonctionnelle et de l'autonomie), puis un état des lieux des pathologies gériatriques, des pathologies neurodégénératives et des troubles du comportement. Cette nouvelle édition présente notamment les outils opposables à PATHOS (outil d'évaluation des états pathologiques en EHPAD) et propose des tests plus spécifiques à l'attention des sujets fragiles afin de dépister suffisamment tôt cette fragilité et un certain nombre de déficits pour mettre en place des attitudes de prévention, de traitement et de prises en charge efficaces. Ce guide s'intègre parfaitement dans la pratique des médecins généralistes, des médecins coordonnateurs en EHPAD et de tous les praticiens dans le suivi de leurs patients âgés.

Download or read book Aging and Neuropsychological Assessment written by Asenath LaRue and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is a privilege to be asked to write the foreword for so excellent a book, so timely and so much needed by the field. Not only is it most unusual these days to have a single authored volume on so broad a topic, but Dr. La Rue has done a superb job of providing both a scholarly treatise and a practical handbook. With a burgeoning elderly population and the corresponding increase in geriatric psychopathology, the needs of mental health services are exceeding by far the supply of appropriate providers. In an effort to meet this need, psychiatry, medicine, neurology, pharmacology, psychology, nursing, and social work have all made the provision of training in geriatrics and gerontology a high priority-but I fear we are losing the race. For example, multidisciplinary teams that assess, diagnose, and treat mental health disorders in elderly patients are incomplete without clinical psychologists and neuropsy chologists, and yet there is barely a handful of clinical psychologists trained in dealing with geriatric patients. We can count on our fingers the additional ones graduated each year. In hospitals, clinics, and private practices across the country, otherwise skilled psychologists are unprepared to respond to the special mental health needs of the elderly. A few CME programs are helping to address this need, but they are clearly not enough.
