Advances in healthcare have led to an extended life expectancy throughout the developed world, but cognitive impairment in later life, and Alzheimer's disease (AD) in particular, remains one of the intractable problems which can blight quality of life as we age. Depression in Alzheimer's disease is an additional factor which has a significant impact on disability, disease progression, and caregiver burden. This book, volume 4 of the Advances in Alzheimer’s Disease book series which is published in coordination with the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease, presents papers which reflect the progress in recent years of research into depression in AD. This research has focused on several areas, i...
The 1994 conference of the European Association for Health Information and Libraries drew together an exceptional group of invited speakers and contributed papers. Speakers came from every part of Europe, from N. America, and even from Australia, and almost all the papers presented are collected in this volume. They represent an important summary of the state of the art in libraries and information services in the medical and health areas and are a rich source of advice, assistance and information for everyone working in related fields. Most of the themes concentrate on the important growth areas of the profession: computer-based information services, networking (especially the Internet), and CD-ROMs. More general topics are not ignored, and the book contains many interesting contributions on identifying the needs of library users and evaluating how well these are being met. There is also an important section on the history of medicine.

Cet ouvrage collectif réunissant chercheurs et cliniciens fait le point sur la littérature neuroscientifique actuelle, et en particlulier sur le courant de la neuroesthétique. La littérature cognitive tente depuis peu d’élucider les bases neuronales et suggère que la créativité artistique serait la résultante neurobiologique d’une explosion combinatoire. D’autre part, et parallèlement, le recours à l’art et aux supports artistiques comme thérapie peut être revisité à la lumière de ces travaux. Il s’agit de pratiques le plus souvent empiriques ou nées d’observations expérimentales. Si elles sont exercées par des thérapeutes expérimentés, elles se distinguent ...
