The Elder Care Cliff 1.0 Don’T Lose Your Life to Caregiving【電子書籍】[ Stella Nsong ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Praise for The Elder Care Cliff 1.0 In my 39 years in the eldercare industry and a caregiver myself, I have picked up a lot of tips from this book. As caregivers, we want to do all that we can, not thinking of what it is doing to our own well-being. Your loved one needs your help, but he/she still needs the socialization of others and a routine to keep well physically and mentally. Respite is a must, and like Stella Nsong so eloquently puts it, respite is an investment in caregiving. It is easy to read and understand and loaded with valuable information. Its a must-read for all caregivers. - Walt Walko, chairman of the board of the CAREgiving Institute The Elder Care Cliff 1.0 is an easy read that makes you want to make positive changes in your world as a caregiver. Lesson learned, take care of yourself first so you can provide care for others as long as necessary. Look for the present each day, knowing tomorrow may never come. I appreciated the top ten ways to care for oneself in chapter 9. -S. Baker, caregiver and registered dietician After years of caring for Mom and Dad as they declined, I had never heard of the term respite or respite care. Like thousands of others, I found out the hard way that caregiver stress takes a serious toll on our own bodies. But it sneaks up on us, and we dont deal with it. Eventually, we and our loved ones suffer. This book is about how respite care will save you from exhaustion, guilt, depression, heart problems, or worse. The author speaks from decades of experience and shows us how to keep or restore our health and our hopes, before a care crash happens. -T. Andrews, caregiver and regulatory and compliance writer for the pharmaceutical industry</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 415円

The Natural History of Pliny (Vol. 1-6) Complete Edition【電子書籍】[ Pliny the Elder ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>According to Pliny's definition, Natural History is a book about the natural world or life. It is the first encyclopedic work in history and a model for later encyclopedias. It is also the largest single work to have survived from the Roman Empire to the modern days. In this book, Pliny covers topics including astronomy, mathematics, geography, ethnography, anthropology, human physiology, zoology, botany, agriculture, horticulture, pharmacology, mining, mineralogy, sculpture, art, and precious stones. In total, the book consists of 10 volumes which contain 37 books. For Pliny, nature was divine. It was a pantheistic concept inspired by the Stoic philosophy. Also, according to this philosophy, the components of nature are described with a view to their role in human life. Pliny devotes a number of the books to plants, focusing on their medicinal value; the books on minerals include descriptions of their uses in architecture, sculpture, art, and jewelry.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 300円

The Ethics of Digital Ghosts Confucian, Mohist, and Zhuangist Perspectives on AI and Death【電子書籍】[ Alexis M. Elder ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) are enabling the construction of “digital ghosts”: algorithmic reconstructions of deceased individuals based on patterns of interaction in their text messages, social media posts, and other personal data. This book develops an ethics of digital ghosts using resources from classical Chinese philosophy.</p> <p>Bereaved people have reported that conversations with digital ghosts can be surprisingly comforting and beneficial. However, there are concerns that they can be harmful, whether by preventing a hard but necessary acknowledgment of loss, producing ongoing dependence, or encouraging instrumentalization of our beloved dead. Building on some suggestive comparisons between digital remains and physical remains, this book uses resources from classical Chinese philosophy to connect concerns from funerary ethics to those presented by AI today. Confucianism, Mohism, and Zhuangism were remarkable for their rich, detailed discussions of the ethics of handling physical remains. This book updates and extends these concerns to apply to digital ghosts. It explores topics including the role of rituals and traditions in communal mourning, the epistemic consequences of fragmented standards for remembrance and data reuse, and the value of creative transformation and adaptation. The result is a psychologically plausible, culturally informed, and afterlife-neutral grounding for thinking about the ethics of digital ghosts.</p> <p><em>The Ethics of Digital Ghosts</em> will appeal to researchers and graduate students working in applied ethics, moral psychology, philosophy of technology, technology and AI ethics, cross-cultural philosophy, and classical Chinese philosophy.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 9,279円

A Simple Guide to Urine Incontinence in the Elderly, Diagnosis, Treatment and Related Conditions【電子書籍】[ Kenneth Kee ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This book describes Urine Incontinence in the Elderly, Diagnosis and Treatment and Related Diseases which is seen in some of my patients in my Family Clinic.</p> <p>Urine incontinence (UI) is the loss of bladder control leading to the involuntary leakage of urine, and significantly impacting quality of life.</p> <p>It is common in older adults (older than 65 years) but should not be dismissed as an inevitable part of aging.</p> <p>Urinary incontinence in older adults is not just a minor inconvenience.</p> <p>It significantly impacts physical health, mental well being, and quality of life.</p> <p>Treating UI promptly is important to prevent complications and improve overall outcomes.</p> <ol> <li>Prevent Physical Complications</li> </ol> <p>a. Skin Breakdown and Infections: Constant moisture from urine leakage increases the risk of dermatitis, pressure ulcers, and urinary tract infections (UTIs).<br /> b. Fall Risk: Rushing to the bathroom, especially at night, raises the likelihood of falls and fractures (e.g., hip fractures).<br /> c. Renal Damage: Chronic urinary retention (overflow incontinence) can lead to kidney dysfunction.</p> <ol start="2"> <li>Improve Mental Health and Dignity</li> </ol> <p>a. Depression and Anxiety: Embarrassment and social stigma often lead to isolation, depression, and reduced self esteem.<br /> b. Loss of Independence: Fear of accidents may cause older adults to avoid outings, hobbies, or social interactions.</p> <ol start="3"> <li>Enhance Quality of Life</li> </ol> <p>a. Restore Confidence: Effective treatment allows individuals to engage in daily activities without fear of leakage.<br /> b. Better Sleep: Reducing night time urination (nocturia) improves sleep quality and energy levels.</p> <ol start="4"> <li>Reduce Caregiver Burden</li> </ol> <p>a. Hygiene Management: Untreated UI increases caregiver workload (e.g., frequent clothing/bedding changes).<br /> b. Emotional Stress: Caregivers may experience frustration or burnout when managing recurrent accidents.</p> <ol start="5"> <li>Treat Underlying Medical Conditions</li> </ol> <p>UI can signal treatable issues, such as:<br /> a. Urnary Tract Infections (UTIs): Common in older adults and often reversible.<br /> b. Prostate Enlargement (BPH): A leading cause of overflow incontinence in men.<br /> c. Neurological Disorders: Stroke, Parkinson’s, or diabetic neuropathy may require targeted care.</p> <ol start="6"> <li>Avoid Unnecessary Institutionalization</li> </ol> <p>Severe, untreated UI is a key reason families consider nursing home placement.<br /> Managing symptoms helps older adults remain independent at home longer.</p> <ol start="7"> <li>Cost Effect Care</li> </ol> <p>Early intervention reduces long term costs associated with:<br /> a. Hospitalizations for UTIs or falls.<br /> b Incontinence supplies (pads, catheters).<br /> c.

Kidney Disease in the Elderly A Case-Based Guide【電子書籍】

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The over-65 population in the United States is rapidly growing. There are currently about 52 million people over 65 years of age in the United States or 16.5% of the U.S. population. This percentage is expected to reach 22% or 70 million by 2050. This means that during the professional lives of current trainees, they can expect to see an increasing number of older patients in their practice. Average life expectancy in 2004 was 75.2 yr for men and 80.4 yr for women. Due to the pandemic, average life expectancy has decreased for both men and women with declines differing by race and ethnicity. Overall, current average life expectancy is 75.1 years for men and 80.5 years for women.</p> <p>During the 1990s, the over-85 population was the fastest growing group at 38% growth. This older age group was the largest consumer of healthcare services. By 2060, the number of people age 85 years and older is projected to triple from its current estimate of 6.7 million to 19.0 million.</p> <p>A substantial percentage of this population has some level of disability: sensory, physical, mental, or self-care. Once a senior develops disability, it greatly impacts their ability to self-manage their disease and follow a complex medical regimen. Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) usually require complicated medication routines, complex dietary restrictions, frequent medical visits and receive care from multiple physicians. Thus, providing nephrology care for older patients with CKD requires specific knowledge and skills that are unique to this population. Elderly patients will make up a growing proportion of the practice of nephrologists and other providers (physicians and allied health providers) involved with their care. Clinical practitioners will need to become more comfortable with shouldering the full care of this segment of their patient population and work closely with a geriatrician and internists and family practitioners. As we become more willing to offer life-prolonging technologies in this vulnerable group, we need to be willing to deal with the consequences of this decision. Finally, with their elderly patients, clinicians face challenging ethical problems, such as whether to withhold or withdraw dialysis. Unless addressed promptly and effectively, these ethical issues will greatly increase the stress on both the healthcare provider and family members.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 15,800円

Medical Ethics and the Elderly【電子書籍】[ Gurchuran Rai ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The Fourth Edition of this bestselling, highly regarded book has been fully revised to incorporate changes in law and clinical guidance making a vital impact on patient management, encompassing: . The Equality Act 2010 which provides the right of older people to treatment without discrimination . Case law on withdrawing nutrition and hydration . Updated guidance on resuscitation from the Resuscitation Council (UK), the British Medical Association and the Royal College of Nursing . The redefining of good medical practice by the General Medical Council . The abolition of the Liverpool Care Pathway with updated guidance on end-of-life care and advance care planning. Expanded throughout, this new edition also integrates two entirely new chapters covering testamentary capacity and the role of the physician, and religious beliefs and end-of-life issues. Its practical, reflective and informative approach continues to make it essential reading for all health professionals, particularly trainees, involved in making difficult decisions in the care of older persons. It is also highly recommended for undergraduate medical students. ' This book combines a primer for the novice with advanced reasoning for the expert, both readerships being led through a range of very authentic case studies. The novice can look up the basic elements of current law, or acquire some rules of thumb about assessment of capacity or quality of life. The expert can think about clinical scenarios where there are no right answers, and all is contingent, or work out how the loss of the privilege of driving might be reframed to maximise mobility. Every practitioner should have this book, and it should be well-thumbed.'

Retraining for the Elderly Disabled【電子書籍】[ Margaret Mort ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Many elderly patients have long-term physical disability and in order for them to maintain a certain level of independence either in hospital or in the community, great attention must be paid to devising programmes to overcome problems and enhance residual abilities.</p> <p>Originally published in 1985, the programme described in this book had developed over the previous 25 years at the Royal Newcastle Hospital in Australia. It grew in response to the practical needs of patients who, having been treated by conventional means, were left with residual disabilities to a degree that their successful return to the community was jeopardised. The retraining programme described is a problem-solving process, coordinated under one director, combined with close teamwork between staff, the patient and relatives. Throughout, attention is paid to social and psychological factors as well as physical problems, when discussing physical retraining methods involving the repetition of routine movements.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 7,327円

Planning Local Authority Services for the Elderly【電子書籍】[ Greta Sumner ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In the 1960s, planning the development of services for the elderly was a subject of considerable importance in Britain, both because existing services were known to be inadequate, and because the proportion of older people, especially of those over seventy-five, was expected to increase during the next thirty years. Originally published in 1969, this book describes how a sample of local authorities were planning their services for the elderly, how they estimated the need for services and the availability of resources, and how they linked their plans with those of other organisations.<br /> By providing a deeper understanding of the difficulties faced by local authority officials when trying to plan, and by suggesting a realistic approach to planning, the report made a valuable contribution towards putting the planning of services for the elderly on to a sound basis. It would have been helpful to all those concerned with the planning and administration of the social services at the time. At the same time the historical background and the insight given into the operation of local authority services should still be of interest to readers today.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 7,327円

Housing for the Elderly Planning and Policy Formulation in Western Europe and North America【電子書籍】[ Leonard Heumann ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>During the 1970s housing and social welfare policy as it affected the elderly was changing throughout Western society. Conventional high-rise apartments and institutionalized nursing or residential homes were no longer the sole public responses to housing the elderly. In place of these two extremes on the housing continuum was a variety of intermediate supportive systems that aided independent living. Assisted Independent Living (AIL) programmes were designed to keep the elderly in as independent a living environment as possible despite increasing functioning disabilities and frailties that often accompany advancing age.</p> <p>Originally published in 1982, this book defines sheltered housing, traces its development in Western society and analyses its success under several variations in Great Britain. The British analysis focuses on those aspects of the sheltered housing programme that had wider relevance to the development of AIL housing policy in Europe and North America.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 6,513円

Long-Term Care for the Elderly A Comparative View of Layers of Care【電子書籍】[ Betty H. Landsberger ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In the 1980s the need for long-term care for elderly people in Western societies was quite obvious from the increasing numbers of old and very old people in the population. Countries had responded in a number of different ways to cope with this need.</p> <p>Originally published in 1985, the central theme of this book is to explore these different ways and to probe beneath the surface level of institutions and specific programs. Beneath this level are a number of layers of care, consisting of attitudes, beliefs and values on a social as well as personal level. Thus, chapters two to six explore the surface level of services, goods, treatments, institutions, etc. provided in different countries for long-term care. Chapter seven looks at another layer, the role of government, chapter eight at ethical issues of human rights and chapter nine at the base layer, the views of elderly people themselves. The book draws mainly on information from the UK, USA, Germany and Scandinavia and will be of interest to all concerned with the health and social welfare of the elderly.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 6,513円

Living with Dementia Community Care of the Elderly Mentally Infirm【電子書籍】[ C. J. Gilleard ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In the early 1980s, it had only recently been appreciated that what was known of the epidemiology of dementia in the elderly living in the community was just the tip of a large iceberg.<br /> Originally published in 1984, reissued here with a new preface, this book is concerned with presenting information on the nature of dementia, its prevalence and the existing pattern of services available at the time. It begins by considering the nature and epidemiology of dementia and examines the problems of supporting dementia sufferers for both families and professionals. Current services in the community are shown to be inadequate, and the division between hospital and community largely inappropriate. In conclusion the author proposes that radical changes to current service provision are necessary including the development of special day centres and residential units for dementia sufferers.<br /> Living with Dementia: Community Care of the Elderly Mentally Infirm addressed a topic of major importance and was an invaluable source of information for community nurses, psychiatrists, psychologists, geriatricians, general practitioners and social workers, all of whom encountered the problem. Today we can look back and reflect on what has changed.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 6,513円

Housing Decisions for the Elderly To Move or Not to Move【電子書籍】[ Leon A Pastalan ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Because many elderly wish to age in place, they typically give little thought to the future of their housing options. Housing Decisions for the Elderly articulates the relevant issues regarding the diversity and complexity of housing decisions in terms of moving or not moving.To move or not to move is really part of the aging-in-place debate. In this guidebook, the authors deal with such issues as changes in economic income and stances; changes in household composition and health; and the psychosocial and metaphysical significance of “house.”This treatment of housing decisions regarding aging in place serves to assist professionals and laypersons to help the elderly make more informed choices and to plan better for the future. Housing Decisions for the Elderly reminds those who work with elderly persons--community organization workers; housing counselors and specialists; home health care agencies; and gerontologists--that the proportion of persons living in family settings decreases with age, so that the older the person, the more likely he or she will be living above or with nonrelatives in institutional or quasi-institutional settings.While changes in household composition typically occur at one or more points in the aging process such as death of spouse, incapacitating illness or loss of income, other housing issues to consider are addressed:</p> <ul> <li>why socioeconomic determinants of housing decisions of elderly homeowners focuses primarily on housing characteristics (owning vs. renting), length of housing tenure, age, and support from relatives</li> <li>how elderly housing assistance programs affect housing tenure deals with age as the single most important factor</li> <li>factors that influence pre-retiree’s propensity to move at retirement</li> <li>access to health care, freedom from house maintenance, and supportive services as the main determinants of moving to a continuing care retirement community</li> </ul>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 11,396円
