Download or read book Language and Neurology written by Christophe Cusimano and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2021-01-12 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book questions the relationship and compatibility between current beliefs in neurology and contemporary textual linguistic theories, interpretative semantics and discourse analysis. It begins with a critical examination of the screenings for AlzheimerÂs type dementia through cognitive testing, particularly screenings where language is used. It then analyzes the various linguistic properties (morphological, syntactic and semantic) of the speech of AlzheimerÂs patients, which can be troubling for both caregivers and their environment in general. More than a synthesis of critical linguistic reflections, Language and Neurology provokes a fruitful reflection through adjustments suggested by the acquired knowledge of textual semantics.

Download or read book Les m dicaments psychotropes les thymor gulateurs written by VERDOUX Hélène and published by Lavoisier. This book was released on 2013-12-16 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La classe des médicaments thymorégulateurs s’est longtemps résumée au seul lithium, avant de s’élargir aux anticonvulsivants. Plus récemment, avec les modifications intervenues dans le profil des molécules regroupées dans cette classe médicamenteuse et la remise en cause de la distinction entre antipsychotiques et thymorégulateurs, différentes définitions ont émergé, selon les critères retenus et l’accent sur l’efficacité préventive ou curative. Ces interrogations sur la définition de la classe des thymorégulateurs s’accompagnent d’un questionnement sur l’évolution des modèles nosographiques et donc des stratégies thérapeutiques. Ainsi l’ouvrage a-t-il pour objectif d’apporter les informations nécessaires à une prescription raisonnée de thymorégulateurs : - les bases fondamentales : mécanismes neurobiologiques, pharmacocinétique, pharmacodynamie, pharmacogénétique, effets sur les processus cognitifs et émotionnels ; - les modalités de prescription : incluant l’instauration, la surveillance, l’arrêt du traitement ainsi que les effets secondaires et les complications, pour le lithium, les anticonvulsivants et les antipsychotiques ; - l’éducation thérapeutique du patient. - les indications : trouble bipolaire, dépression, troubles psychotiques, troubles de la personnalité, addictions, prescriptions dimensionnelles ; - les spécificités liées aux populations et aux situations : association de plusieurs thymorégulateurs ou à un antidépresseur ou à l’ECT, utilisation chez les enfants et les adolescents, chez la femme enceinte ou allaitant, chez les personnes âgées. Réunissant une cinquantaine de spécialistes reconnus, riche d’une trentaine de tableaux et schémas explicatifs et d’un index détaillé, cet ouvrage est la référence indispensable pour tous les praticiens devant prescrire des thymorégulateurs.
Download or read book From Smart Homes to Smart Care written by Sylvain Giroux and published by IOS Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nowadays networks, microprocessors, memory chips, smart sensors and actuators are faster, cheaper and smaller than ever. They are becoming available anywhere, anytime. Current advances in such enabling technologies let foresee novel applications and services for improving the life of elderly and disabled people in their home and outside. These conference proceedings present the latest approaches and technical solutions in the area of smart homes, health telematics, and enabling technologies. The first chapter delves into the user perspective to ascertain real needs and design truly useful services. The following chapter explores the enabling technology. Distributed sensors, smart devices and networks appear as the nuts and bolts compulsory to build up smart homes. Chapter three looks at the realization of smart homes. Pervasive computing is emerging as one of the key approaches to organize computations within smart homes. The fourth chapter addresses the issue of using smart home features to design and deliver smart care services to persons with disabilities and elderly people. Finally Chapter five outlines standardization efforts and practical and industrial experiences. ICOST aims at creating an active research community dedicated to explore how smart homes in particular and health telematics in general can foster independent living and an enhanced life style for elderly and disabled people. On the one hand, smart homes are augmented environments with embedded computers, information appliances and multi-modal sensors allowing people to perform tasks efficiently by offering unprecedented levels of access to information and assistance from computer. On the other hand, health telematics makes the most of networks and telecommunications to propose health services, expertise and information at distance.

Book excerpt: Cet ouvrage répond aux questionnements scientifiques posés sur les effets biologiques des phytomicronutriments (polyphénols, phytostérols, caroténoïdes, glucosinolates…), dans le double contexte de transition nutritionnelle et du vieillissement de la population, et dans le cadre du rôle potentiel de notre alimentation dans la gestion de notre santé. Fruit d'un travail collectif initié par l'Institut français pour la nutrition (IFN) Les phytomicronutriments présente : - une classification des différentes familles de phytomicronutriments, - les principaux facteurs de variation impactant sur les quantités ingérées et sur leur biodisponibilité, car les effets santé des phytomicronutriments dépendent de leurs niveaux de consommation et de leur biodisponibilité, - leur fonctionnalité puis leur impact dans des populations spécifiques (femmes ménopausées, sportifs et personnes âgées), - les bénéfices/risques de quelques classes de molécules, les plus étudiées : phyto-oestrogènes, phytostérols et caroténoïdes, - une illustration de la composition en phytomicronutriments dans des menus types et la possibilité de les repérer dans les aliments sur la base de la couleur de ces derniers. Cet ouvrage s'adresse aux scientifiques, aux professionnels de l'industrie alimentaire, aux professionnels de la santé, aux enseignants et aux étudiants dans le domaine de la nutrition et de la santé.

Download or read book Aging with Grace written by David Snowdon and published by Bantam. This book was released on 2008-11-19 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1986 Dr. David Snowdon, one of the world’s leading experts on Alzheimer’s disease, embarked on a revolutionary scientific study that would forever change the way we view aging—and ultimately living. Dubbed the “Nun Study” because it involves a unique population of 678 Catholic sisters, this remarkable long-term research project has made headlines worldwide with its provocative discoveries. Yet Aging with Grace is more than a groundbreaking health and science book. It is the inspiring human story of these remarkable women—ranging in age from 74 to 106—whose dedication to serving others may help all of us live longer and healthier lives. Totally accessible, with fascinating portraits of the nuns and the scientists who study them, Aging with Grace also offers a wealth of practical findings: • Why building linguistic ability in childhood may protect against Alzheimer’s • Which ordinary foods promote longevity and healthy brain function • Why preventing strokes and depression is key to avoiding Alzheimer’s • What role heredity plays, and why it’s never too late to start an exercise program • How attitude, faith, and community can add years to our lives A prescription for hope, Aging with Grace shows that old age doesn’t have to mean an inevitable slide into illness and disability; rather it can be a time of promise and productivity, intellectual and spiritual vigor—a time of true grace.
Download or read book Alzheimer s Aromatherapy and the Sense of Smell written by Jean-Pierre Willem and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2022-05-17 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: • Cites multiple clinical studies to show how Alzheimer’s is critically bound with the sense of smell and how the loss of this sense is often the first symptom of onset • Details how to use essential oils to stimulate memory, prevent cognitive loss, and counter the isolation, withdrawal, and depression of Alzheimer’s patients • Reveals the striking results seen in several French hospitals and senior living homes where aromatherapy has been used as a therapy for Alzheimer’s While there is still no known cure for Alzheimer’s, new research and trials from France reveal that it is possible to slow its progression, ameliorate some of its effects, and improve the quality of life for those suffering from this degenerative condition, using the sense of smell. Citing years of clinical evidence, Jean-Pierre Willem, M.D., shows how Alzheimer’s is critically bound with the sense of smell. He explains how the olfactory system is connected to the limbic area of the brain, which holds the keys to memory and emotion and is the area of the brain most severely afflicted by Alzheimer’s. He reveals how one of the very first signs of Alzheimer’s is typically the loss of the sense of smell. Sharing the striking results seen in French hospitals and senior living homes where aromatherapy has been used as a therapy for Alzheimer’s for more than 10 years, Dr. Willem details how to use essential oils to stimulate memory, prevent cognitive loss, and counter the isolation, withdrawal, and depression these patients are likely to feel. He explains how essential oils make a direct connection with the cerebral structures involved in emotion and memory and make it possible for the patient to bring deeply buried memories back to the thinking surface. This allows the patient to recover a portion of their identity, which can become the foundation for additional healing, including regaining the ability to communicate and reducing behavioral issues. Tracing the evolutionary links between smell and taste, he also explores the effects of diet and nutrition on Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia, explaining the benefits of raw foods, what foods to avoid, and what supplements can help. Offering a hands-on and medication-free way to help those suffering from Alzheimer’s, this guide provides a way for Alzheimer’s patients and their families to recover the joy of living again.
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 Les troubles anxieux written by BOULENGER Jean-Philippe and published by Lavoisier. This book was released on 2014-04-04 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depuis les premières descriptions cliniques datant de la fin du XIXe siècle, montrant l’intérêt médical relativement récent pour l’anxiété, les symptômes anxieux et les troubles anxieux, les concepts ont considérablement évolué au cours du XXe siècle pour aboutir aux classifications syndromiques en vigueur dans la nosographie actuelle. Pourtant, un certain nombre de questions demeurent, par exemple sur l’existence d’un continuum entre une anxiété normale et adaptative et une anxiété pathologique, la nature de la réactivité émotionnelle dans les troubles anxieux par rapport à celle décrite dans les troubles bipolaires, etc... La première partie d’ouvrage présente les diverses approches actuelles pour comprendre les troubles anxieux : modèles émotionnels, approche évolutionniste, psychodynamique, théorie de l’attachement, génétique, neurobiologie, neuropsychologie, électrophysiologie et neuro-imagerie. Sont ensuite exposés les différents troubles anxieux (attaque de panique, phobie sociale, trouble anxieux généralisé, hypocondrie, état de stress post-traumatique, TOC, etc.) et les associations co-morbides (dépression, conduites suicidaires, troubles bipolaires, addictions, etc...). Réunissant plus d’une quarantaine de spécialistes reconnus, riche d’une trentaine tableaux et schémas explicatifs et d’un index détaillé, cet ouvrage offre un état des connaissances et des recherches sur les troubles anxieux.
