Diagnostica per immagini in geriatria

Teresa Cammarota
e altri
editore: Minerva Medica
pagine: 256
Lo studio della diagnostica per immagini in geriatria, arricchito dalle più moderne metodiche di imaging, è orientato prevalentemente su quegli aspetti clinici e quei quadri radiologici di più frequente riscontro nell'anziano malato e, soprattutto, sulla non facile distinzione fra "normale" e "patologico" specie in situazioni in cui, alle modificazioni conseguenti ai processi di invecchiamento, si sovrappongono le alterazioni legate a polipatologia e cronicità. L'ineguagliabile competenza clinica degli autori su questo particolare argomento, ma soprattutto l'approccio e il contributo veramente geriatrico e non di rivisitazione di vecchi schemi e classificazioni adattati all'anziano, contribuiscono a rendere questo volume un punto di riferimento importante nello studio della Radiodiagnostica Geriatrica.

Residenze sanitarie per anziani. Le risposte dell'offerta alla domanda sociale emergente
editore: Il Sole 24 Ore
pagine: 98
Approfondire le opportunità d'investimento in nuove tipologie immobiliari è l'obiettivo che l'ANCE vuole perseguire con questa pubblicazione dedicata alle Residenze sanitarie per anziani. L'innalzamento dell'età media della popolazione (oggi una persona su cinque ha più di 65 anni, ma già nel 2030 le persone over 65 rappresenteranno il 30% della popolazione) e l'evoluzione dei bisogni degli anziani ci chiamano a pensare e realizzare risposte e soluzioni diverse e adeguate, perché il cambiamento demografico in atto non sia l'origine di problemi assistenziali, economici e sociali.
