Temas para um envelhecimento com qualidade de vida
Tentativas para prolongar a juventude têm sido realizadas há muito séculos. Crenças equivocadas sobre o processo de envelhecimento fazem parte da nossa cultura há milênios. Ainda existem pessoas que adotam panaceias como se fossem a fonte da juventude, acreditando que elas podem reverter o processo de envelhecimento. Cientistas de todos os lugares estão estudando o envelhecimento, e os resultados de suas pesquisas poderão sugerir formas de retardar o seu avanço, adiando e prevenindo doenças e melhorando a qualidade de vida. Muitas dessas pesquisas estão progredindo e têm potencial de algum dia fornecer métodos para diminuir a intensidade desse inevitável declínio e melhorar a saúde e a longevidade das pessoas.
Abordagem multiprofissional com idosos na pandemia da COVID-19
O presente livro aborda, de forma interdisciplinar e relacionada com o processo de envelhecimento, a pandemia da Covid-19 e seus impactos. Dentre as temáticas abordadas estão: infecção por Covid-19, neurologia, nutrição, fisioterapia, violência, impacto causado na saúde mental e física, mudanças no cotidiano no período da pandemia e síndrome pós-covid em longevos.
Atualizações em geriatria e gerontologia V
Atualizações em Geriatria e Gerontologia V: Fisioterapia e Envelhecimento é uma obra que vem somar ao acervo do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Gerontologia Biomédica (PPG-GERONBIO) do Instituto de Geriatria e Gerontologia da Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul. Tratase da segunda obra temática do PPG-GERONBIO. Para sua elaboração, contamos com a participação de 28 alunos e exalunos, 10 professores e 25 colaboradores do PPG-GERONBIO. Os 22 capítulos que compõem este livro abordam aspectos diversificados do universo da Fisioterapia, voltados ao idoso e ao envelhecimento, em um contexto interdisciplinar. Cada capítulo está inserido em uma ou mais das quarto linhas de pesquisa do PPG-GERONBIO, que são: Aspectos Biológicos no Envelhecimento; Aspectos Clínicos e Emocionais no Envelhecimento; Aspectos Socioculturais, Demográficos e Bioéticos no Envelhecimento; e Envelhecimento e Saúde Pública.r Esta obra visa aprofundar os conhecimentos na temática tanto para os profissionais e futuros profissionais da Fisioterapia quanto para os gerontólogos em geral.
Decision-Making Under Stress
In our high technology society, there is a growing demand for a better understanding of decision making in high risk situations in order to improve selection, training and operational performance. Decision Making Under Stress presents a state-of-the-art review of psychological theory, in research and practice, on decision making in high pressure and emergency situations. It focuses on the experienced decision makers who deal with such risks, principally on flight decks, at civil emergencies, in industrial settings and military environments. The 29 chapters cover a wide range of perspectives and applications from aviation, military, industry and the emergency services. The authors, all intern...
How to Build a Brain
Chris Eliasmith presents a new approach to understanding the neural implementation of cognition in a way that is centrally driven by biological considerations. According to the Semantic Pointer Hypothesis, higher-level cognitive functions in biological systems are made possible by semantic pointers.
Neural Engineering
A synthesis of current approaches to adapting engineering tools to the study of neurobiological systems.
Elementary Signal Detection Theory
Signal detection theory, as developed in electrical engineering and based on statistical decision theory, was first applied to human sensory discrimination about 40 years ago. The theory's intent was to explain how humans discriminate and how we might use reliable measures to quantify this ability. An interesting finding of this work is that decisions are involved even in the simplest of discrimination tasks--say, determining whether or not a sound has been heard (a yes-no decision). Detection theory has been applied to a host of varied problems (for example, measuring the accuracy of diagnostic systems, survey research, reliability of lie detection tests) and extends far beyond the detection of signals. This book is a primer on signal detection theory, useful for both undergraduates and graduate students.
Human Brain Anatomy in Computerized Images
By using non-invasive tomographic scans, modern neuroimaging technologies are revealing the structure of the human brain in unprecedented detail. This spectacular progress, however, poses a critical problem for neuroscientists and for practitioners of brain-related professions: how to find their way in the current tomographic images so as to identify a particular brain site, be it normal or damaged by disease? Prepared by a leading expert in advanced brain-imaging techniques, this unique atlas is a guide to the localization of brain structures that illustrates the wide range of neuroanatomical variation. It is based on the analysis of 29 normal human brains obtained from three-dimensional reconstructions of magnetic resonance scans of living persons. The Second Edition of this atlas offers entirely new images, all from new brain specimens.
Outcome Measures for Health Education and Other Health Care Interventions
Although Outcome Measurement has become an important tool in the evaluation of health promotion, patient education and other health services interventions, there remain problems in locating reliable measurements and scales. This book provides for the first time a compilation of more than 50 self-administered scales for measuring health behaviours, health status, self-efficacy, and health-care utilization.
