Patients and Practitioners
The essays in this volume provide an unusual historical perspective on the experience of illness: they try to reconstruct what being ill (from a minor ailment to fatal sickness) was like in pre-industrial society from the point of view of the sufferers themselves. The authors examine the meanings that were attached to sickness; popular medical beliefs and practices; the diffusion of popular medical knowledge; and the relations between patients and their doctors (both professional and 'fringe') seen from the patients' point of view. This is an important work, for illness and death dominated life in earlier societies to an enormous degree. Yet almost no studies of this kind have ever been carried out before, practically all previous treatments having been written from the traditional point of view of the doctor, the hospital, or medical science. It will accordingly interest a wide range of readers interested in social history as well as the history of medicine itself.
Magnetic Resonance Angiography
Magnetic Resonance Angiography: Principles and Applications is a comprehensive text covering magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) in current clinical use. The first part of the book focuses on techniques, with chapters on contrast-enhanced MRA, time of flight, phase contrast, time-resolved angiography, and coronary MRA, as well as several chapters devoted to new non-contrast MRA techniques. Additionally, chapters describe in detail specific topics such as high-field MRA, susceptibility-weighted imaging, acceleration strategies such as parallel imaging, vessel wall imaging, targeted contrast agents, and low dose contrast-enhanced MRA. The second part of the book covers clinical applications o...
Altern mit Zukunft
Sowohl in der Sozialen Arbeit als auch in angrenzenden Professionen ist ein wachsender Bedarf an Fachkräften zu beobachten, die für und mit älteren Menschen arbeiten. Gesucht sind Experten, die einerseits behilflich sind, Potenziale des Alters zu aktivieren, und andererseits bedarfsorientierte Unterstützungsleistungen für diejenigen gewährleisten, die externer Hilfen bedürfen. Gleichzeitig benötigen Leistungs- und Kostenträger solide Erkenntnisse, um auf anstehende gesellschaftspolitische Entwicklungen angemessen reagieren zu können. Dieser Sammelband gibt mit Beiträgen aus Forschung und Praxis Auskunft darüber, wie man dem individuellen und kollektiven Altern eine Zukunft geben kann. Die AutorInnen gewähren Einblick in relevante Studien, anhand derer man die heterogene Zielgruppe älterer Menschen besser zu verstehen lernt, und stellen nachahmenswerte Modelle in verschiedenen Handlungsfeldern vor.
