Geriatric Diseases de Nages Nagaratnam

Geriatric Diseases: Geriatric Diseases

Autor Nages Nagaratnam, Gary Cheuk, Kujan Nagaratnam
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 6 apr 2018

Găsim în Geriatric Diseases o resursă clinică fundamentală, structurată riguros pentru a răspunde complexității pacienților vârstnici. Această ediție aduce o sistematizare exhaustivă a entităților clinice unice, organizând materia în 21 de secțiuni ce acoperă peste 100 de capitole. Considerăm că noutatea majoră constă în integrarea sistematică a anatomiei, fiziologiei și patologiei specifice îmbătrânirii în cadrul fiecărei secțiuni, oferind astfel o bază teoretică solidă pentru managementul practic. Structura urmează o progresie logică, de la sistemul cardiovascular și respirator, până la cel hepato-biliar și gastrointestinal, abordând patologii critice precum insuficiența cardiacă, pneumonia sau bolile hepatice cronice în contextul geriatric. Merită menționat că textul este conceput pentru a fi utilizat în tandem cu lucrarea anterioară a autorilor, Diseases in the Elderly: Age-Related Changes and Pathophysiology, completând viziunea fiziopatologică cu protocoale de evaluare și tratament. Geriatric Diseases este un manual de referință comparabil cu Brocklehurst's Textbook of Geriatric Medicine and Gerontology, însă se distinge prin formatul său pedagogic accentuat, incluzând studii de caz, întrebări cu răspunsuri multiple și grile de autoevaluare care facilitează asimilarea rapidă a informației. Față de Contemporary Geriatric Medicine, care utilizează o abordare bazată pe eseuri, acest volum adoptă un ton clinic precis, axat pe provocările diagnostice ridicate de comorbidități și statusul funcțional preexistent al pacienților de vârstă avansată.

Cititorul câștigă un instrument de lucru pragmatic, ce transformă teoria îmbătrânirii în protocoale de management clinic. Este o investiție esențială datorită secțiunilor de autoevaluare și a studiilor de caz care pregătesc specialistul pentru realitatea clinică a diagnosticelor diferențiale dificile la vârstnici.
