This textbook provides a practical and comprehensive account of the management of diarrhoea and constipation in the elderly. These common disorders in the elderly are not only a burden in themselves but are often manifestations of a more serious underlying illness: thus effective diagnosis and treatment are essential to improve quality of life. Many important conditions are associated with diarrhoea. The text includes updates on pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment, and highlights the vulnerability of the elderly in regard to acquiring diarrhoea and its complications. The aetiology of diarrhoea is explained, including infections of the gastrointestinal tract, and systemic diseases of which diarrhoea is a manifestation. Diverse disciplines are spanned: from immunology and physiology to microbiology, nutrition and psychiatry. The aetiology, diagnosis and treatment of constipation are dealt with, emphasising practical management issues. The book is aimed at geriatricians, general practitioners and allied health workers.

Door de toenemende vergrijzing neemt het aantal oudere patiënten enorm toe en daarmee de kans dat fysiotherapeuten op allerlei werkterreinen (preventie, thuiszorg, algemene praktijk, ziekenhuizen, zorginstellingen) met ouderen te maken krijgen. Dit betekent dat fysiotherapeuten toegang moeten krijgen tot belangrijke klinische informatie die nodig is om ouderen met dreigende stoornissen en beperkingen zo adequaat mogelijk te begeleiden. Dit oorspronkelijk Amerikaanse boek (Geriatric Physical Therapy, A clinical approach) voorziet in deze behoefte en is een bundeling van een grote hoeveelheid toegepaste wetenschappelijke kennis over normale en pathologische verouderingsprocessen, klinische vraagstukken en specifieke implicaties daarvan voor de behandeling van oudere patiënten.

Neurogerontology tells the story of how the aging brain affects all aspects of cognition and physical performance. It comprehensively links the principles and substance of neuroscience with gerontology and psychology. Written largely from a behavioral neuroscience perspective, Neurogerontology explores the functional relationships between the central nervous system and psychological phenomena of aging, including perception, arousal, learning, cognition, and motor behavior. Willot emphasizes healthy aging, but dementia and other pathological conditions are discussed when relevant. This evidence
