New Cerebrospinal Fluid Research to Uncover Mechanisms Driving Neurological and Psychiatric Diseases
This eBook is a collection of articles from a Frontiers Research Topic. Frontiers Research Topics are very popular trademarks of the Frontiers Journals Series: they are collections of at least ten articles, all centered on a particular subject. With their unique mix of varied contributions from Original Research to Review Articles, Frontiers Research Topics unify the most influential researchers, the latest key findings and historical advances in a hot research area! Find out more on how to host your own Frontiers Research Topic or contribute to one as an author by contacting the Frontiers Editorial Office: frontiersin.org/about/contact.
A Multidisciplinary Approach to Managing Swallowing Dysfunction in Older People
A Multidisciplinary Approach to Managing Swallowing Dysfunction in Older People provides comprehensive coverage on oropharyngeal dysphagia (OD), focusing on older patient phenotypes. The book provides the knowledge needed for translational researchers and professionals to aid in the detection, diagnosis, treatment and management of OD, ultimately improving patient quality of life. OD has been recently considered a geriatric syndrome because of its high prevalence, the increase of life-expectancy and the need to be managed by a multidisciplinary approach. This reference takes a novel approach to OD, covering all aspects as a geriatric syndrome, examining a complicated and multi-level topic in...
Dysphagia
The second edition of this well-received book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date description of the diagnosis and management of dysphagia, including oral, pharyngeal, and esophageal dysfunction. All aspects of dysphagia are covered, with detailed consideration of anatomy, physiology, and pathology. In addition to a variety of benign and malignant disease entities, signs and symptoms, and treatment approaches, many other relevant topics are addressed, including endoscopy, manometry, malnutrition, dehydration, oral care, dementia, ethics, and the social and psychologic impacts of dysphagia. Specific aspects of importance in pediatric and geriatric patients are highlighted. This edition features a number of completely new chapters focusing on, among other subjects, dysphagia in further disease contexts and following laryngectomy and radiation therapy. The authors are without exception world-leading experts in their fields. The book will be of value for practitioners in all specialties involved in the evaluation and treatment of dysphagia. It is therefore a truly multidisciplinary project.
Challenges of Trustable AI and Added-Value on Health
Artificial Intelligence (AI) in healthcare promises to improve the accuracy of diagnosis and screening, support clinical care, and assist in various public health interventions such as disease surveillance, outbreak response, and health system management. But the increasing importance of AI in healthcare means that trustworthy AI is vital to achieve the beneficial impacts on health anticipated by both health professionals and patients. This book presents the proceedings of the 32nd Medical Informatics Europe Conference (MIE2022), organized by the European Federation for Medical Informatics (EFMI) and held from 27 - 30 May 2022 in Nice, France. The theme of the conference was Challenges of Tr...
Digital Personalized Health and Medicine
Digital health and medical informatics have grown in importance in recent years, and have now become central to the provision of effective healthcare around the world. This book presents the proceedings of the 30th Medical Informatics Europe conference (MIE). This edition of the conference, hosted by the European Federation for Medical Informatics (EFMI) since the 1970s, was due to be held in Geneva, Switzerland in April 2020, but as a result of measures to prevent the spread of the Covid19 pandemic, the conference itself had to be cancelled. Nevertheless, because this collection of papers offers a wealth of knowledge and experience across the full spectrum of digital health and medicine, it...
New approaches to evaluation and management of dysphagia in neurological disease
Neurological diseases tend to cause dysphagia which can lead to aspiration pneumonia, influencing patient mortality and morbidity, and increase the cost of medical care. Thus, it is essential to implement better evaluation, intervention, and rehabilitation for dysphagia. Many protocols and tools for assessing dysphagia, including aspiration, have been developed. Videofluoroscopic and videoendoscopic examinations are the current gold standard for assessing dysphagia. In addition, novel methods and instruments have been developed which are non-invasive and simple to implement. As for clinical intervention, several effective rehabilitation protocols as well as traditional methods have been utilized. Moreover, novel machines such as transcranial magnetic stimulation, transcranial direct current stimulation, and transcutaneous electrical stimulation of the neck are being introduced and are expected to improve neuromuscular function.
Gehirn&Geist 1/2025 Licht
Ich kann mich noch genau an mein erstes Studentenzimmer erinnern. Es befand sich im ersten Stock eines Fachwerkhauses und hatte kleine Sprossenfenster. Vor den Scheiben hingen weiße Häkelgardinen, die man – der einheitlichen Optik wegen – nicht entfernen durfte. An der Decke umhüllte ein Schirm aus Kristallglas eine funzelige 25-Watt-Birne. Es ist leicht auszumalen, was mir hier am meisten fehlte: Licht! Dunkelheit drückt nicht nur aufs Gemüt. Auch der Körper leidet darunter, wie immer mehr Studien belegen. Er kann ohne Licht beispielsweise kein Vitamin D bilden (hierfür ist allerdings direkte Son- neneinstrahlung nötig), und die Augen ent- wickeln sich nicht korrekt. Kinder, die...
Diet and Nutrition in Dementia and Cognitive Decline
Diet and Nutrition in Dementia and Cognitive Decline offers researchers and clinicians a single authoritative source which outlines the complex interrelationships between cognitive decline, dementia and the way diet can be modified to improve outcomes. In a cross-disciplinary field like dementia research and practice, clinicians and researchers need a comprehensive resource which will quickly help them identify a range of nutritional components and how they affect cognitive decline and the development of dementia. While the focus is on clinical applications, the book also features landmark and innovative preclinical studies that have served as the foundation of rigorous trials. Chapters expl...
Geriatrie
Bei der Entwicklung dieses Lehrbuchs haben alle Beteiligten gemeinsam das Ziel verfolgt, das neue Standardwerk der deutschsprachigen Geriatrie zu präsentieren.
