Geriatric Dermatology

Beschreibung

This major reference work details the clinical management of older patients with diseases of the skin and provides an exceptional level of educational information for residents in internal medicine and dermatology, fellows in geriatric medicine and physicians engaged in the practice of dermatology, geriatrics, family medicine and internal medicine. With the trends in the aging population globally, the indications to evaluate and manage the growing geriatric population and their health disorders is likely to become increasingly relevant for decades to come. Preparation for these changes in society involves provision of up-to-date knowledge for current and future generations of physicians to deal with the health problems of older adults.

The Textbook of Geriatric Dermatology is the first major clinical reference on the management of skin disorders associated with aging in many years. It has coordinated educational requirements for training programs in internal medicine, geriatric medicine and dermatology to provide the comprehensive management of disorders of aging skin in the present day hospitalized, long-term care and community older adults. Physiological changes and disease processes in older adults differ significantly from those of the young, and this reference work offers detailed clinical guidance in a simple and easy to assimilate multidisciplinary format.
