Care-Related Quality of Life in Old Age : Concepts, Models and Empirical Findings
Care-Related Quality of Life in Old Age explains the theory behind Care Keys, its methodology, empirical findings, and practical considerations in promoting effective, efficient elder care aimed at social and emotional well-being and including disabled and cognitively impaired patients.
Care Poverty : When Older People’s Needs Remain Unmet
This book turns the research attention of social policy scholars and long-term care researchers from comparative descriptions of care systems, focusing mostly on expenditures and volumes of long-term care services, to outcomes, and in particular to the question whether older people really receive the support that they need. Without knowledge about which needs and which social groups are currently inadequately covered, it is impossible to guide policy development.
Cancer du sujet âgé = Cancer in the elderly
Etablir un diagnostic précoce, définir une stratégie adaptée et offrir une meilleure qualité de vie chez le sujet âgé atteint de cancer constituent les défis de l’Oncologie de ce début de siècle. Cet ouvrage a pour objectif de proposer aux médecins et aux étudiants un condensé des différents aspects de l’oncologie sur le sujet âgé. Dans une première partie, les aspects épidémiologiques et biologiques ainsi que l’évaluation gériatrique multiparamétrique sont abordés. Les particularités de l’application de la chimiothérapie, de la radiothérapie et de la chirurgie au sujet âgé sont passées en revue. Dans une troisième partie, la stratégie thérapeutique multidisciplinaire est ensuite détaillée par site.
Cancer du sein ; Compte rendu du cours supérieur francophone de cancérologie (Saint-Paul-de-V Vence, ence, 18–20 janvier 2007) = Breast cancer : Proceedings of the French-speaking oncology higher course (Saint-Paul-de-V Vence, ence, 18–20 January 2007)
Durant les deux premières journées, toutes les étapes importantes de la prise en charge des cancers du sein ont été déclinées. L’analyse du risque de voir survenir un cancer du sein a été explorée dans sa diversité suivie par les résultats du dépistage organisé et les problèmes du diagnostic. Les traitements locorégionaux ont précédé les traitements adjuvants sans oublier les patientes dont la tumeur présentait une hyperexpression de HER2. Une session a été consacrée aux cancers métastatiques et une autre aux personnes âgées. Comme à chaque cours, nous nous sommes penchés sur l’avenir en dissertant sur la classification moléculaire et sur le passé avec la très belle conférence du Pr David Khayat sur le bilan du Plan Cancer.

Anesthesia Considerations for the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon
Strengthens the margin of safety of office-based anesthesia administration by helping practitioners determine whether the patients they treat are good candidates for office-based anesthesia. This book is organized into three sections. The first section provides a review of the principles of anesthesia, including the pharmacology of anesthetic agents, local anesthesia, patient monitoring, preoperative evaluation, the airway, and management of emergencies and complications. The major organ systems of the body are reviewed in section two, and the most common comorbid conditions that affect these systems are described in terms of their pathophysiology, diagnosis, management, and anesthesia-related considerations. Section three reviews patient groups that warrant special consideration in the administration of office-based anesthesia, such as geriatric, pediatric, pregnant, and obese patients. Spiral-bound and featuring tabs for quick and easy reference, this important book belongs on the shelf of every clinician who provides anesthesia in the office setting.

Abord clinique du malade âgé = Clinic Approach for the Elderly Patient
The general practitioner and the specialists are brought to examine a growing number of elderly or very old patients. Until now, they have hardly been prepared for this very special clinical approach where each symptom can relate to several causes, where the diseases are almost always multiple, symptomatic, or ready to reveal themselves by a complication, where a diagnosis can be. hide another, where a history - key to the diagnosis - may have been forgotten or concealed.
