Long description: Viele alte Menschen leiden an Schlafstörungen. Das ist nicht nur leidvoll, sondern hat auch Konsequenzen für die pflegerische Versorgung: Aus Schlafproblemen leiten sich gravierende pflegerische Risiken wie Dehydratation, Mangelernährung oder Adipositas und Stürze ab. Mit Know-how und dem richtigen „Handwerkszeug“ können Pflegende hier helfen. Denn mit geeigneten Interventionen können Schlafstörungen vermieden oder verringert werden. Dafür müssen Pflegekräfte Ursachen und Folgen von Schlafstörungen kennen. Dieses Wissen sowie die entsprechenden Gegenmaßnahmen liefert dieses Buch – u.a. mit Checklisten und erfolgreichen Praxisbeispielen. Auf den Punkt gebracht: Menschen mit Schlafstörungen kompetent begleiten. Praktische Hilfe für Pflegekräfte. Mit vielen Best-Practice-Beispielen.

This report is the result of fieldwork research conducted under the framework of TAAD ("The Aging African Diasporas: Perspectives from Lombardia"), a project led by Prof. Alice Bellagamba (University of Milano-Bicocca) that for three years has investigated the meanings of aging for members of the Eritrean, Senegalese, and Egyptian diasporas in Lombardy. More specifically, this report explores the results that emerged from semi-structured interviews and informal conversations with 68 people of Eritrean origin (36 women and 32 men) collected in Milan and its province between 2018 and 2020. The great majority of my interlocutors were over 65 years old and moved to Italy between the end of the 1960s and the 1980s, but younger members of the diaspora have been also interviewed to better address how meanings of aging change along generational lines. Since the beginning of the lockdown imposed by the Covid-19 pandemic in March 20201, some of these conversations have been conducted using telephonic or online means of communication. In this report I use pseudonyms and other precautions to guarantee the complete anonymity of my interlocutors.

This volume of the Subcellular Biochemistry series, Biochemistry and Cell Biology of Ageing: Part I is devoted broadly to Biomedical aspects of Ageing. The 17 chapters included in the book, contributed by knowledgeable authors, review many important topics at an advanced level. Ageing in relation to reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the importance of Antioxidant Vitamins and Antioxidant Enzymes are given prominent coverage. Consideration is also given to Vitamin D and the B Vitamins. Chapters on Nutrition, Nutrient Sensing, the Microbiome and Signal Transduction appear, along with Cholesterol Metabolism, Creatine and Creatine Kinase, Extracellular Matrix, Stem cells, Nuclear DNA Damage, Teleomere Length, Gene Expression and Epigenetics, Autophagy and protein Glycosylation. The book is primarily directed to advanced biomedical science and medical students, postgraduates, researchers and academics in the field of Ageing. A further supplementary volume of the Subcellular Biochemistry series, Biochemistry and Cell Biology of Ageing: Part II, covering the more Clinical Science aspects of ageing, will be published soon. Prof. J. Robin Harris is an Honorary Professor of the University of Mainz, he has broad biomedical science and electron microscopical experience and is actively involved in scientific publishing. Dr. Viktor I. Korolchuk is a Reader in Molecular Cell Biology at Newcastle University and is actively involved in cellular autophagy studies. .
