| Abstract
|
:
|
As the population of older people continues to grow rapidly, both in the developed and the developing world, geriatric medicine is an increasingly important topic for clinicians. In most countries, and especially in Europe, North America and Japan, the impact of an expanding population, the result of a reduction of disease in early life, has had a dramatic effect on the diseases of later life. This new edition of the comprehensive and renowned textbook Principles and Practice of Geriatric Medicine has been renamed after the late Professor John Pathy, editor of the 1st and subsequent editions. It has been extensively revised, includes several new chapters, and provides up-to-date, evidence-based, and practical information about all the major medical problems of ageing citizens. The three editors, from UK, USA and France, have ensured that updated chapters describe both European and US approaches to geriatric medicine, as well as reflecting the changes in treatment options and medical conditions which have emerged since publication of the 4th edition in 2006. The book addresses a global audience, and its section on world issues is of special interest. Several generic issues, such as minorities/ethnicity, sepsis and the importance of the caregiver are included in all chapters as core issues. The topic of acute stroke has been expanded, as have the sections on dementia, cardiovascular disease and health, respiratory diseases and training.
