This book aims to be a single point of reference for advances in
the care of geriatric populations across medical and surgical
specialties. The aging population is a unique demographic with its
own health challenges. Geriatricians are specifically trained to
address these challenges but few medical students or residents
enter geriatrics, even as the demand for geriatric expertise
increases. The practices of many medical and surgical specialists
are dominated by older patients who may themselves see many
specialists but rarely visit geriatricians. This updated edition
elucidates the most common medical conditions seen in aging
patients and translates approaches to those conditions for
physicians across specialties. Divided into three sections that
assemble crosscutting issues, medical specialties, and surgical and
related specialties, this book serves as a guide for clinicians of
all backgrounds who will work with older patients as the
demographic ages further. This second edition of Geriatrics for
Specialists expands the number of specialist chapters to reflect
growth in research in aging and clinical care for older people in
dermatology, plastic surgery, and behavioral neurology. All
original chapters from the first edition are extensively revised
and updated to reflect the rapid growth of new knowledge in the
field.
