Pathy's Principles and Practice of Geriatric Medicine, Volume 1 & 2, Fifth Edition

This new edition of the comprehensive and renowned textbook Principles and Practice of Geriatric Medicine offers a fully revised and updated review of geriatric medicine.  It covers the full spectrum of the subject, features 41 new chapters, and provides up-to-date, evidence-based, and practical information about the varied medical problems of ageing citizens.The three editors, from UK, USA and France, have ensured that updated chapters provide a global perspective of geriatric medicine, as well as reflect the changes in treatment options and medical conditions which have emerged since publication of the 4th edition in 2006.  The book includes expanded sections on acute stroke, dementia, cardiovascular disease, and respiratory diseases, and features a new section on end-of-life care. In the tradition of previous editions, this all-encompassing text continues to be a must-have text for all clinicians who deal with older people, particularly geriatric medical specialists, gerontologists, researchers, and general practitioners.Praise for the 4th edition:"...an excellent reference for learners at all clinical and preclinical levels and a useful contribution to the geriatric medical literature."?Journal of the American Medical Association, November 20065th edition selected for 2012 Edition of Doody's Core Titles™Content: Chapter 1 A Biological Perspective of Ageing (pages 11–21): H.
