Chronic Diseases in Geriatric Patients

Tuck Yean Yong

Sinopsis

The incidence of multiple chronic diseases affecting a single individual is high among elderly patients. This incidence is believed to be associated with a decline in many health outcomes, including quality of life, mobility, functional ability, increased frequency of hospitalizations, psychological distress, mortality and the use of health care resources. Health in elderly patients can fluctuate significantly, thus prompting the need for proper integration of comprehensive geriatric care. An increasing amount of data gained from research programs is making it clear that a geriatric assessment identifies many problems in older people with chronic diseases, adds prognostic information, and might improve the outcomes of these patients. This volume reviews research on the value of geriatric programs in different subspecialties of internal medicine. Chapters of this book cover different chronic diseases (coronary artery disease, kidney disease, diabetes, osteoporosis etc.) separately and present new findings in these areas. Readers – both medical students and researchers – will find the book an essential for understanding requirements and nuances of specialized geriatric programs in the healthcare sector.

Alfred Hitchcock - The Ultimate...

Trivia Hub

ALFRED HITCHCOCK
THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION
CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB
Alfred Hitchcock was an influential English film director, known as the "Master of Suspense". His career spanned six decades, during which he directed over 50 feature films. Hitchcock began in the film industry as a title card designer, and his directorial debut was in 1925 with The Pleasure Garden. His early thrillers, like The Lodger (1927), The 39 Steps (1935), and The Lady Vanishes (1938) gained him recognition. He moved to Hollywood in 1939, producing successful films such as Rebecca (1940). Hitchcock's style is characterized by suspense, visual storytelling, and recurring themes like mistaken identity and voyeurism. He was also known for his cameo appearances in his films and his TV series, Alfred Hitchcock Presents. Hitchcock never won an Academy Award for Best Director.
CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES:
Alfred Hitchcock's father sent him to the local police station with a note when he was five, and the police locked him in a cell for a few minutes, which gave him a lifelong fear of law enforcement. He was so scared of the law that he refused to drive a car in case he got a parking ticket.
Hitchcock was fascinated by maps and train timetables, and he could even recite all the stops on the Orient Express. Many of his films include rail or tram scenes, and he would whisper London tram route names based on the clapperboard numbers.
Hitchcock worked as a technical clerk at the Henley Telegraph and Cable Company, and then in the advertising department, which he called his "first step toward cinema". He also enjoyed reading trade papers and watching films by Charlie Chaplin, D.W. Griffith, and Buster Keaton.

Compassionate Leadership - How...

Jacqueline Carter, Rasmus...

As a leader, how do you balance compassion for your people with effectiveness in getting the job done? 
 
 
 
A global pandemic, Depression-level unemployment, civil and political unrest—it feels as if the world as we know it is faltering. Through it all, our spirit is being tested. Now more than ever, it's imperative for leaders to demonstrate compassion. 
 
 
 
Compassion in leadership improves collaboration, raises levels of trust, and enhances loyalty. Studies also find that compassionate leaders are perceived as stronger and more competent. 
 
 
  
But, as founder of Potential Project Rasmus Hougaard and long-time coauthor Jacqueline Carter show in this essential book, most leaders overlook a key leadership truth: compassion on its own is not enough. Being an effective leader often requires giving tough feedback, making hard decisions that disappoint people, and, in some cases, laying people off. Showing compassion in leadership can't come at the expense of wisdom and effectiveness. You need both, and this book shows you how to strike the right balance. 
 
  
 
With rich stories and examples based on data from 15,000 leaders in more than 5,000 companies, as well as practical tools and advice, Compassionate Leadership is your indispensable guide to doing the hard work of leadership in a human way.
