It is increasingly important for physicians who treat older
persons, and for researchers on aging, to understand how molecular
biology informs clinical expressions of aging and age-related
conditions such as osteoporosis, diabetes, osteoarthritis, frailty,
cancer, and dementia. Dr. David Hamerman translates basic
scientific concepts into precepts of clinical practice and sheds
light on the links among biology, natural aging, longevity, and
disease.
Exploring the connections between disease and the science behind
it, Geriatric Bioscience addresses how mechanisms of inflammation,
cytokine expression, and stress responses influence disease and how
preventive gerontology in the practice of medicine could compress
morbidity. Hamerman also discusses cutting-edge therapies such as
cyclo-oxygenases, bisphosphonates, statins, cytokine inhibitors,
and hormone therapies.
Examining the science of geriatrics and converting its concepts
into clinical applications, this groundbreaking work provides
clinicians and researchers with a solid foundation for a greater
understanding of the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of
age-related diseases as well as recommendations for promoting
healthy aging.
