The leading reference in the field of geriatric care,
Brocklehurst's Textbook of Geriatric Medicine and Gerontology, 8th
Edition, by Drs. Howard M. Fillit, Kenneth Rockwood, and John B.
Young, provides a contemporary, global perspective on topics of
importance to today's gerontologists, internal medicine physicians,
and family doctors. An increased focus on frailty, along with
coverage of key issues in gerontology, disease-specific geriatrics,
and complex syndromes specific to the elderly, makes this 8th
Edition the reference you'll turn to in order to meet the unique
challenges posed by this growing patient population. Consistent
discussions of clinical manifestations, diagnosis, prevention,
treatment, and more make reference quick and easy. More than 250
figures, including algorithms, photographs, and tables, complement
the text and help you find what you need on a given condition.
Clinical relevance of the latest scientific findings helps you
easily apply the material to everyday practice. A new chapter on
frailty, plus an emphasis on frailty throughout the book, addresses
the complex medical and social issues that affect care, and the
specific knowledge and skills essential for meeting your patients'
complex needs. New content brings you up to date with information
on gerontechnology, emergency and pre-hospital care, HIV and aging,
intensive treatment of older adults, telemedicine, the built
environment, and transcultural geriatrics. New editor Professor
John Young brings a fresh perspective and unique expertise to this
edition.
