Worldwide, human life is headed for longevity. On the other hand, humans have a desire to stay healthy and live longer. However, synthetic drugs are immediately effective, but some drugs can cause serious side effects. From about 100 to 150 years ago, humans have used all diseases for treatment and prevention, using natural resources such as plants, animals and minerals. These natural ingredients can minimise side effects etc. even after long-term administration. In addition, these natural ingredients can also control chronic toxicity etc. in a concentration-dependent manner. Based on these ideas, this book will focus on plant ingredients and plants that can be expected to maintain health until this longevity.

Altenpflege ist Beziehungs- und Gefuhlsarbeit. Sie erfordert Mut und Kompetenz, mit der Vergangenheit alter Menschen umzugehen, mit erlebtem Lebensgluck ebenso wie mit Trauer und Verzweiflung. Bei vielen Pflegenden gibt es eine Sehnsucht nach Begegnungen mit alten Menschen. Trotzdem bleiben viele Kontakte, aus Unsicherheit oder Angst, an der Oberflache. Eine wesentliche empathische Erfahrung geht damit verloren. Denn es koennen besondere Begegnungen entstehen, wenn Pflegepersonen es wagen, sich wirklich auf alte Menschen einzulassen. Genau diese magischen Momente sind es, die Altenpflege fur viele Pflegende so spannend machen. Sie starken die Berufszufriedenheit, geben Kraft fur schwierige berufliche Zeiten und sind ein, bis dato voellig unterschatzter Grund, warum Pflegende im Beruf bleiben. Sonja Schiff erzahlt ihre eigenen Schlusselerlebnisse mit alten Menschen und lasst auch andere Personen - unterschiedliche Professionisten aus der Altenpflege- und Altenbetreuung - in Form von strukturierten Interviews zu Wort kommen. Es entstanden Geschichten, die die Leserin/den Leser tief beruhren und Kraft geben. Gepaart mit einem leidenschaftlichen Pladoyer fur eine dringende Weiterentwicklung der Altenpflege und Kritik am bestehenden System, geht sie auch der Frage nach, welchen Anteil Pflegepersonen selbst an der Erreichung eines magischen Moments haben und wie sie diese umsetzen koennen. Jedes Kapitel wird eingeleitet und mit Aufgaben beendet, die zum Ausprobieren motivieren. Ein "Mutmach-Buch" fur alle Pflege- und Betreuungskrafte der Altenpflege. Es richtet sich aber auch an Fuhrungskrafte von Altenpflegeeinrichtungen, Angehoerige und sozialpolitisch tatige Personen.

Social Theories of Aging - A Brief Synopsis (Paperback): Kelly Niles-Yokum, Pamela Pitman Brown, Hallie Baker Social Theories of Aging - A Brief Synopsis (Paperback)

R2,285 Discovery Miles 22 850 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Social Theories of Aging: A Brief Synopsis introduces students to a broad spectrum of social theories on aging. Each theory is categorized as first, second, or third generation according to three theoretical levels: micro-level (individual aging theories), macro-level (societal aging theories), and micro-macro-level (emerging theories). The book provides students not only with a synopsis of key theories but with the agency to create their own knowledge and search for answers within the gerontology discipline. Over the course of six chapters, students explore a variety of generational theories. Each overview presents a theory's level, intellectual origins, and basic tenets. The theories span many fields and subfields of gerontology including social gerontology, sociology, anthropology, public administration, psychology, social work, and geriatrics. Activity Theory, Disengagement Theory, Modernization Theory, Continuity Theory, Exchange Theory, Age Stratification, Social Constructionist, and Transformative Learning Theory are just a few of the theories addressed in the text. Highly accessible and concise in nature, Social Theories of Aging is an ideal textbook for introductory gerontology courses. It can also be used in graduate level courses to remind students of the theoretical underpinnings of gerontology.

Maintaining good metabolic profile plays a significant role in improving the quality of life at aging. Widely recommended physical and psychological strategies include exercise, calorie restriction (such as healthy diet), anti-aging neuroprotective and anti-inflammation therapy. Most occurring risks at middle age range (45-65 years old) are obesity, insulin resistance, inflammation, alteration in the hypothalamus-hypophysis suprarenal axis activity, stress and hypertension that could increase the prevalence of metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome increases with age, particularly for women. Significant associations were seen between imaging measures and cardiovascular risk factors at both baseline and 18-month follow-ups. Both baseline and longitudinal imaging analysis and correlations with neurocogntive tests as well as cardiovascular risk factors could provide distinct and confirmative perspectives relating to the pathophysiology of aging-related diseases such as dementia and diabetes. Significant baseline and longitudinal effects of age, smoking and neuropathological burdens such as amyloid, tau and glucose metabolism provide a complete imaging, neurocognitive and cardiovascular profile for better staging and differentiating different diseases. Together with accurate imaging guidance, early detection and treatment could be achieved with the ultimate goal of improving quality of life at middle age and extending longevity. The aim of this book is intended to provide both beginners and experts in biomedical imaging and health care a broad picture as well as new development in brain function and metabolism of aging using innovative neuroimaging techniques and advanced longitudinal /correlational analyses. Methods and data presented in this book with novel experimental designs and protocols, especially longitudinal investigation of multiple imaging metrics from microvascular, micro-structural to systematic functional, metabolic and neuropathological perspectives will help improving diagnosis and early prevention of common diseases at middle age such as metabolic syndrome and early dementia. Some promising prevention strategies such as arts therapy, aerobic exercise and calorie restriction will be introduced additionally with imaging evidence. Results presented will help improving diagnosis accuracy, staging, and determining phases and trajectories of disease progression with age, endothelial dysfunction and deficits in metabolic syndrome. This book will provide the current state-of-the-art and new frontiers of brain function and metabolic changes at age using multi-parametric functional, structural and molecular imaging techniques in detection, diagnosis and treatment. We will present some forefront and interesting multi-dimensional baseline and longitudinal imaging techniques to serve as a reference and resource book in neuroimaging application and research field. Several distinct detection and application perspectives, including cutting-edge imaging methods from baseline evaluations to longitudinal applications as well as multi-modal and multi-parametric quantifications will be described. The relatively new and advanced data and results together with interesting examples and application demonstrations could help facilitate the generalization, interpretation and applications of these techniques to improve disease diagnosis, quality of life and treatment for metabolic syndrome and brain dysfunction.

Through a uniquely multidisciplinary lens, Ethics and Vulnerable Elders: The Quest for Individuals Rights and a Just Society employs a highly principled approach to ethics and addresses current issues affecting vulnerable older adults. The book illuminates the current and future challenges facing older adult populations and provides effective frameworks for their resolution. The text features 19 chapters written by experts, which are then divided into four sections. The opening chapter introduces the framework for the book and addresses key concepts in ethics. Each of the four sections that follow addresses a particular category of vulnerability, namely compromised health, effective status, care arrangement, and abuse, neglect, and exploitation. Specific topics include cognitive impairment, physical disability, gender, sexual orientation, residential long-term care, self-neglect, correctional settings, victimization, and more. Each chapter includes a summary; case study; discussion of applicable principles of ethics, including autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice; resources for follow-up; and questions for further consideration. Ethics and Vulnerable Elders is an ideal resource for law school and graduate school programs with focus on gerontology, disability, social work, public health, elder and family law, and health care management.
