Dementie is een hersenziekte. De hersenproblemen hebben grote invloed op wat iemand nog kan en in hoeverre communicatie mogelijk is. Hulpverleners en mantelzorgers moeten in de dagelijkse omgang hun gedrag steeds opnieuw aanpassen. Zij krijgen daarbij begeleiding en ondersteuning van psychologen, artsen, casemanagers en andere professionals voor wie dit boek is bedoeld.

Een basale kennis van hersenstructuren en de werking van de hersenen is van groot belang en helpt het gedrag van iemand met dementie te begrijpen. Brede en toepasbare inzichten over (on)gewone veroudering, de gelaagdheid van de hersenen en daaraan verbonden mentale functies, de levensloop, dementievormen en benaderwijzen van mensen met dementie komen in dit boek aan bod.

Daarnaast is er aandacht voor methodieken in de hulpverlening, zoals het probleemgericht en reflectief overleg, besluitvorming bij dilemma’s, en het Crisis Ontwikkelings Model (COM).

Uit deze brede waaier aan onderwerpen kunnen professionals putten om te adviseren over de begeleiding. Niet meer, maar beslist ook niet minder. Zowel beknopte als meer uitgebreide casusbeschrijvingen bieden handvatten om de basisprincipes van de begeleiding in de eigen gevarieerde praktijk toe te passen.

This second edition brings together the latest information about the pathophysiology and new therapeutic alternatives for osteoporosis of advanced age. Written by highly recognised clinicians and basic scientists in the field of aging bone research, this book includes aspects of muscle and bone interaction focusing on the impact of age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia) on the pathogenesis of falls and fractures in older persons. Osteoporosis in Older Persons- Advances in Pathophysiology and Therapeutic Approach, Second Edition, aids the reader in understanding the mechanisms of senile osteoporosis with a practical approach to the treatment of its consequences. It is the perfect reference guide for geriatricians, gerontologists and bone biologists, as well as medical trainees. .

This exciting volume offers an up-to-date tour of current trends in the neurobiology of memory while saluting Raymond Kesner's pioneering contributions to the field as a theorist and researcher, teacher and mentor. Starting with his signature chapter introducing the Attribute Model of Memory, the first half of the book focuses on the central role of the hippocampus in processing dimensions of space and time, and branches out to memory system interactions across brain structures. Later chapters apply the attribute model to multiple functions of memory in learning, and to specific neurological contexts, including Huntington's disease, traumatic brain injury, and Fragile X. As a bonus, the book concludes with an essay on Kesner's life and work, and reminiscences by colleagues.  Among the topics covered:  How the hippocampus supports the spatial and temporal attributes of memory. Self-regulation of memory processing centers of the brain. Multiple memory systems:  the role of Kesner's Attribute Model  in understanding the neurobiology of memory. Pattern separation: a key processing deficit associated with aging? Prefrontal cortex and basal ganglia attributes underlying behavioral flexibility. Memory disruption following traumatic brain injury. Cognitive neuroscientists, neuropsychologists, gerontologists, psychiatrists, and neurobiologists will find The Neurobiological Basis of Memory both enlightening and inspiring--much like Kesner himself.
