"In der medialen Öffentlichkeit besitzt das Thema Demenz hohe Präsenz. Menschen mit Demenz selbst kommen dabei aber kaum zu Wort. Diese vernachlässigten Stimmen bieten die Basis von Valerie Kellers kulturwissenschaftlicher Studie zur Selbstsorge bei Demenz. Anhand von Gesprächen mit Betroffenen zeigt sie auf, wie Menschen mit Demenz auf sich und andere einwirken, um mit zentralen Herausforderungen ihrer Situation umzugehen. Ohne Ängste, Zerrüttungen und Nöte zu verschweigen, legt sie dar, wie erfüllt ein Leben mit Demenz sein kann. Der Schlüssel dazu liegt nicht zuletzt in den sozialen Umfeldern, die die Selbstsorgebestrebungen von Menschen mit Demenz erkennen und unterstützen."-- Provided by publisher.

Stroke continues to be a major public health issue. It is the third leading cause of death and disability across the globe. Its early identification, early treatment, and prevention are major issues that confront a treating physician. This book addresses the common clinical problems encountered by a stroke rehabilitation team. Stroke survivors are left with a myriad of deficits including motor weakness, sensory and perceptual deficits, speech and swallowing impairment, cognition deficits, and behavioral problems. These topics are dealt with in detail by experts with the goal of disability reduction and functional rehabilitation. This book provides in-depth knowledge on the rehabilitation measures for stroke-related impairments including motor deficits, cognitive impairment, and psychological problems.

As healthcare systems continue to evolve, it is clear that providing safe, high-quality care to patients is an extremely complex process. Ranging from multi-disciplinary teams to bedside care, virtually every aspect of the patient-care experience provides us with an opportunity for doing things better, from improving efficiency, safety, and overall outcomes to reducing costs and promoting team synergy. This book, the fifth in our patient safety series collection, consists of chapters that help explore key concepts related to both the safety and quality of care. In a departure from the vignette-driven format of our earlier books, this installment gravitates toward discussing frameworks, theoretical considerations, team-centric approaches, and a variety of other concepts that are critical to both our understanding and the implementation of safer and better-performing health systems. We also feel that the knowledge presented herein increasingly applies across the world, especially as global health systems evolve and mature over time. It is our goal to improve the recognition of potential opportunities that will highlight various aspects of the delivery of healthcare and thus contribute to better patient experiences, with safety at the forefront. Topics covered in this volume, as well as the previous volumes, highlight the critical importance of identifying and addressing opportunities for improvement, not as one-time events, but rather as continuous, hardwired institutional processes.

"Najnowsza powieść Olgi Tokarczuk – pierwsza po otrzymaniu Literackiej Nagrody Nobla! Najciekawsze pozostaje zawsze w cieniu, w tym, co niewidoczne. Wrzesień 1913 roku, uzdrowisko Görbersdorf (dzisiejsze Sokołowsko na Dolnym Śląsku). Właśnie tutaj, u podnóża gór, od przeszło pół wieku działa jedno z pierwszych na świecie i słynne w całej Europie specjalistyczne sanatorium leczące choroby „piersiowe i gardlane”. Mieczysław Wojnicz, student ze Lwowa, przyjeżdża do uzdrowiska z nadzieją, że nowatorskie metody i krystalicznie czyste powietrze powstrzymają rozwój jego choroby, a może nawet całkowicie go uleczą. Diagnoza nie pozostawia jednak złudzeń – tuberculosis. Gruźlica. W Pensjonacie dla Panów, gdzie zamieszkuje, poznaje innych kuracjuszy. Chorzy z Wiednia, Królewca, Breslau i Berlina przy nalewce Schwärmerei niestrudzenie omawiają najważniejsze sprawy tego świata. Czy Europie grozi wojna? Monarchia czy demokracja? Czy demony istnieją? Czy oddając się lekturze, da się rozpoznać, czyją ręką tekst został napisany – kobiety czy mężczyzny? Ale nie tylko te pytania zajmują pensjonariuszy. Do Wojnicza docierają też przerażające historie o tragicznych wydarzeniach w górskich okolicach sanatorium. Choć on sam zajęty jest ukrywaniem prawdy o sobie, zagadka budzących grozę wypadków fascynuje go coraz bardziej. Nie wie jednak, że mroczne siły już wzięły go sobie na cel. Olga Tokarczuk w Empuzjonie odsłania przed czytelnikami prawdy o świecie, których albo nie zauważamy, albo za wszelką cenę nie chcemy do siebie dopuścić." --author's website.
