Antidepressants for Elderly People
Depression is one of the commonest problems in old age. Yet until recently, old people were systematically exduded from participating in drug trials and similar investigations.

Remarkable Hotels of Europe
Remarkable Hotels of Europe contains a collection of in-depth reports on hotels recognised by their prominent position at the forefront of the European hospitality industry. Although edited as a guide—with all strategic travel details and some photographs included—the ambition of this book is above all to introduce a more individual and comprehensive style of describing the finest of hotels compared to those typical of today’s travel guides.

Finally, even sophisticated globetrotters, used to the choicest of accommodations, may enjoy a new rendezvous while reading appropriate stories and up-to-date information on such favourites as Paris Ritz, London’s Dorchester and Brenner’s in Baden-Baden.

It encompasses a range of short-term options including rapid response, hospital at home, residential rehabilitation, supported discharge and day rehabilitation. Continuing Care is delivered on a long-term basis in a variety of settings and often includes an element of rehabilitation. Although these two types of care have distinct objectives, they are interrelated as changes in the supply of one type of care may affect demands for the other. In addition, from a patient perspective, intermediate ...
