Die demographische Bevölkerungsentwicklung erfordert spezifische Antworten auf späte Erkrankungsverläufe chronischer oder im Alter neu manifestierter neurologischer Erkrankungen. Das Werk stellt durch Studien gesichertes empirisches Wissen und Erfahrungswissen im Bereich der Neurogeriatrie zu einem praktischen Lehrbuch zusammen. Renommierte Autoren, u.a. aus den Gebieten Neurologie, Psychiatrie, Geriatrie, Neurochirurgie, Kardiologie, Orthopädie, Pharmazie, Radiologie, Rehabilitation, Sozialmedizin und Rechtswissenschaft, fokussieren fachübergreifend die Aspekte der Altersmultimorbidität auf.
The growing proportion of neurological diseases in the elderly means that physicians need to have specific knowledge of the topic in everyday clinical work. This book gathers together empirical knowledge and clinical experience in the field of neurogeriatrics into a practical textbook. Renowned authors from the fields of neurology and geriatrics, neurosurgery, pharmacology, psychiatry, psychology, rehabilitation medicine and urology provide an interdisciplinary focus on neurological aspects of age multimorbidity. This second, enlarged and updated edition has been restructured and expanded to include the neurogeriatric syndromes of immobility, instability, intellectual decline, isolation in old age, incontinence and iatrogenic disorders. Special aspects of pharmacotherapy in the elderly are now given considerably more space and attention. The specific clinical pictures and practical aspects relevant to action in the fields of ethics, law and social medicine have been updated. Information panels and checklists provide quick overviews.

Secondly, there is still an acute lack of objective information about DRM and the consequences of using (or not using) DRM in our Information Society. And, finally, only open discussions amongst all the interested parties and people from different scientific and practical backgrounds can help to create a foundation on which DRM can actually become useful.
"Necessity and proportionality occupy a firm place in the international law governing the use of force by states. Perhaps most importantly for practical purposes, the exercise of the right of self-defense, as recognized in Article 51 of the United Nations Charter, is subject to the requirements of necessity and proportionality, as the International Court of Justice determined in the Nicaragua case. Necessity and proportionality are also firmly anchored in the international law governing armed conflicts. In its Nuclear Weapons Advisory Opinion, the International Court of Justice even referred to one articulation of the idea of necessity, that directed against the causing of unnecessary suffer...
