Neurodegenerative Disorders
This new edition provides an accessible guide to the commonest neurodegenerative diseases, outlining the main clinical features, treatment options and outcomes of the conditions most frequently encountered in clinical practice. Beginning with an overview of the general principles that underlie degeneration, and the contribution of established and new diagnostics techniques, the book goes on to describe the most common neurodegenerative conditions and, new for the second edition, also HIV dementia and multiple sclerosis. Final chapters cover important management issues including the use of palliative care strategies, biomarkers and neuropsychology. Written by experts in the field internationally Neurodegenerative Disorders, Second Edition is a practical guide for clinicians that will be indispensable for the management of these conditions.
Ketogenic Diet and Metabolic Therapies
People with epilepsy have been treated with ketogenic diets for 100 years, yet these metabolic approaches remained obscure and underutilized for much of this time. Clinical efficacy has been consistently reported for decades in pediatric patients, and more recently in adults. Perhaps more importantly, the benefits of metabolic therapies are being validated beyond epilepsy-to other neurologic, metabolic, and genetic disorders-underscoring the importance of metabolism in health. This new edition of Ketogenic Diet and Metabolic Therapies: Expanded Roles in Health and Disease celebrates the 100th anniversary of the ketogenic diet and highlights the expanding research interest and clinical applic...
The SAGE Handbook of Clinical Neuropsychology
Clinical Neuropsychology is a vast and varied field that focuses on the treatment, assessment and diagnosis of a range of cognitive disorders through a study and understanding of neuroanatomy and the relationship between the brain and human behavior. This handbook focuses on specific Neuropsychological disorders. It covers each of the classification systems involved before moving on to specific types of disorders from neurodevelopmental to neuropathological as well as brain injuries, trauma and neurodegenerative disorders. This handbook not only provides an in-depth overview of these Neuropsychological disorders, but also explores the history of the field as well its global challenges. The handbook is an essential tool for clinicians and scientists, as well as postgraduate students and researchers in a range of disciplines exploring the area.

An Ethno-Social Approach to Code Choice in Bilinguals Living with Alzheimer’s
This book examines the under-researched field of communication by bilingual people with dementia of the Alzheimer's type (DAT). The aging population is increasingly affected by neurocognitive diseases such as DAT, and over the past 30 years, the growing research body concerned with monolingual DAT discourses has seen significant growth. The findings from monolingual studies and institutional settings highlight the importance of code choice for a person’s sense of autonomy, especially against the background of changing communicational abilities. Adding a new perspective, this book investigates how ten Puerto Rican speakers living with varying stages of DAT draw on their bilingual resourc...

It discusses passive and low carbon cooling and heating and natural ventilation, lifecycle assessment and life-cost analysis. The book presents examples and case studies from innovative low-tech to high-tech approaches, covering a wide spectrum of climate zones to show lessons learned and proof ...
Family planning and comprehensive abortion care toolkit for the primary health care workforce. Volume 3. Dissemination, implementation, monitoring and evaluation (DIME)
This document is the third volume of the Toolkit on family planning and comprehensive abortion care for the primary health care workforce. The toolkit aims to enhance the capacities of the primary health care (PHC) workforce in terms of their competencies to provide family planning (FP) and comprehensive abortion care (CAC) services and thus to enhance the quality of care provided to women and girls. This volume is meant to be used by all stakeholders involved in developing, implementing and assessing competencies in the provision of FP and CAC services. These stakeholders can include health service practitioners, managers and regulators; educators and health- and education-related policy-makers; and multilateral agencies and civil society organizations supporting health- and education-related initiatives.
Family planning and comprehensive abortion care toolkit for the primary health care workforce. Volume 2. Programme and curriculum development guide
The Programme and curriculum development guidance presents a systematic approach to developing programmes and curricula for implementation of the family planning (FP) and comprehensive abortion care (CAC) competencies, and the theory behind the approach. Specifically, the aim is for effective implementation of these competencies in the context of pre-service education and training, post-graduate studies and continuing professional development (CPD). This guidance is designed for programme and curriculum developers who are preparing or revising formal education and training programmes and curricula for the FP and CAC workforce. This guide proposes a new FP and CAC Educational Design Model for programme and curriculum development (PCD). This model can support competency-based education (CBE) for current and future FP and CAC services, with a pre-service training pathway of at least 12 months, and can also support in-service training. With this guide, various instruments have been developed to operationalize each step of the programme and curriculum development.
Family planning and comprehensive abortion care toolkit for the primary health care workforce. Volume 1. Competencies
The aim of the family planning and comprehensive abortion care (FP and CAC) competencies for the primary health care workforce is to advance improvements in FP and CAC service delivery by aligning health worker education approaches with population health needs and health system demands. This document, which describes these competencies in detail, is intended to: describe competencies that are relevant to current and future health practice; and enable widespread use of the competencies for curriculum development, for pre-service education, but also for in-service education, regulation, qualifications, quality assurance, personal development, performance evaluation, recruitment, management and...
