Eine optimale Betreuung am Lebensende erfordert einen engen Austausch zwischen Medizin, Pflege, dem psychosozialen Bereich, der Seelsorge und allen anderen beteiligten Berufsgruppen. Dieses multiprofessionelle Herausgeberwerk zeigt, wie eine solche Zusammenarbeit gelingen kann. Aus multiperspektivischer Sicht und anhand vieler Fallbeispiele beschreibt es eine optimal abgestimmte individuelle Behandlung, Beratung wie auch Begleitung am Lebensende für Betroffene und ihr soziales Netz. Es werden u.a. onkologische, neurologische und kardiovaskuläre Erkrankungen, Schmerzen, Atemprobleme, Übelkeit, Schlafprobleme, Wunden, Blutungen, epileptische Anfälle und Delir behandelt. Zentrale Themen wie Therapiezieländerung, Überbringen schlechter Nachrichten, Umgang mit Todeswünschen, Familiengespräche, Kultursensibilität, Ernährung und Flüssigkeitsgabe, palliative/gezielte Sedierung u.v.m. werden praxisnah veranschaulicht. Das Buch wendet sich an alle in der Palliativversorgung tätigen Berufsgruppen und eignet sich für das Selbststudium sowie für Gruppenarbeit in Kursen.

Compassionate communities are communities that provide assistance for those in need of end of life care, separate from any official heath service provision that may already be available within the community. This idea was developed in 2005 in Allan Kellehear’s seminal volume- Compassionate Cities: Public Health and End of Life Care. In the ensuing ten years the theoretical aspects of the idea have been continually explored, primarily rehearsing academic concerns rather than practical ones. Compassionate Communities: Case Studies from Britain and Europe provides the first major volume describing and examining compassionate community experiments in end of life care from a highly practical pe...
Once it was difficult to see end of life care beyond conventional medical intervention, but hospice and palliative care introduced a more holistic approach, providing quality of life for the dying and their families. This ground-breaking work takes end-of-life care beyond these palliative boundaries, describing a public health vision that involves whole communities adopting a compassionate approach to dying, death and loss. Written by a leading academic in the field of death and bereavement, this text outlines the historical, political and conceptual basis of compassionate cities, providing a community development model for end-of-life care. Moving away from infection control and health promotion Allan Kellehear invites us to think of a third wave movement of public health, joining empathy, equality and action together as practical policies. Presenting a radical new perspective to death, ageing and public health, Compassionate Cities is essential reading for academics and professionals alike.
The Roman Empire was home to a fascinating variety of different cults and religions. Its enormous extent, the absence of a precisely definable state religion and constant exchanges with the religions and cults of conquered peoples and of neighbouring cultures resulted in a multifaceted diversity of religious convictions and practices. This volume provides a compelling view of central aspects of cult and religion in the Roman Empire, among them the distinction between public and private cult, the complex interrelations between different religious traditions, their mutually entangled developments and expansions, and the diversity of regional differences, rituals, religious texts and artefacts.

H4 R is the newest member of the histamine receptor family, which was discovered about twelve years ago. It is considered a very promising drug target. The effort to improve the pharmacokinetic properties of the currently available H4 R ligands is reflected in a steadily growing number of scientific publications and patent applications. Preclinical data strongly confirms the need for novel potent H4 R ligands to explore their therapeutic value in allergy, inflammation, autoimmune disorders, and possibly, cancer. Readers will be provided with extensive knowledge on histamine metabolism, as well as cellular histamine transport, storage and release, effects of histamine and histamine receptor ligands, with particular attention to the H4 R, on inflammatory cells including mast cells, basophils, eosinophils, neutrophils, macrophages, dendritic cells, and T cells. The present knowledge on the regulatory role of histamine and the therapeutic exploitation of histamine receptor ligands in atopic diseases, with emphasis on human and animal models of asthma, allergic dermatitis and pruritus are discussed.
