Hodges' Frontotemporal Dementia
by Bradford C. DickersonFrontotemporal dementia (FTD) is a cruel disease, robbing patients of core human characteristics and wreaking havoc with relationships. Clinical and scientific interest in FTD and related disorders continues to grow rapidly, with major advances having occurred since this book's last publication. New clinical diagnostic criteria were published in 2011; new pathological discoveries have led to new diagnostic criteria; and major genetic discoveries have been made. This new edition covers these developments, providing the leading resource on FTD, PPA, PSP, CBD, FTD-ALS, and related disorders, now written by a more internationally representative group of authors than before. Providing an in-depth and expert synthesis of the status of our knowledge of FTD and related syndromes, the content includes chapters reviewing clinical, neuropsychiatric, neuropsychological, imaging, and other features of FTD and multidisciplinary approaches to patient management. Essential reading for specialist and generalist neurologists, psychiatrists, geriatricians, neuropsychologists, neuropathologists, and basic scientists in relevant fields.
Hodgkin Lymphoma
by Anas Younes Andreas EngertThis book examines in detail the current treatment options for first-line, relapsed, and refractory Hodgkin lymphoma and the management appropriate in special clinical circumstances, including in the elderly, pregnant women, and those with lymphocyte-predominant disease. Careful attention is devoted to the emerging individually tailored treatment strategies that are especially appealing given their potential to reduce early and late treatment side effects in this generally young patient population. In addition, clear guidance is provided on the management of Hodgkin survivors. Other topics addressed include epidemiology, pathogenesis, the role of the microenvironment, initial clinical evaluation, imaging diagnosis, use of staging systems, and prognostic factors. The second edition of Hodgkin Lymphoma: A Comprehensive Overview has been revised and updated by the key opinion leaders to reflect recent progress in the field. It will be of great value to hematologists, oncologists, and all others with an interest in Hodgkin lymphoma.
Hodgkin Lymphoma
by Andreas Engert Sandra J. HorningThis book provides a well-illustrated, comprehensive, and up-to-date account of Hodgkin lymphoma. Epidemiology, pathogenesis, and the role of the microenvironment are examined in detail. The initial clinical evaluation and use of staging systems are fully discussed, and prognostic factors are carefully considered. The various treatment options for first-line and relapsed Hodgkin lymphoma are presented, including the newly available treatments for recurrent disease and the management required in special clinical circumstances. Given the very high cure rates and the young age of many patients, there is an increasing need to develop better individually tailored treatment strategies that will help to avoid both early and late side-effects of treatment. Such strategies receive due attention, and clear guidance is provided on the handling of Hodgkin survivors. This book will be of great value to hematologists, oncologists, and all others with an interest in Hodgkin lymphoma.

Hoe krijgen we onze zorg passend?: Tijd voor een nieuwe kijk op gezondheid en ziekte
by Tijn KoolDe zorg loopt vast. Het personeelstekort loopt op en we vragen steeds vaker om zorg. Tegelijkertijd weten we van veel behandelingen niet of deze werken. We leveren zelfs zorg waarvan we weten dat deze niet werkt of – in het ergste geval – schade veroorzaakt. Bovendien levert de zorg een grote bijdrage aan de CO2-uitstoot. Reden voor Tijn Kool, hoogleraar Passende Zorg aan het Radboudumc, om te pleiten voor een andere kijk op gezondheid en ziekte. Volgens Kool moet de zorgverlener meer dan voorheen een coach gaan zijn die patiënten helpt bij het maken van een keuze. En die keuze wordt vaker ‘niets-doen’. Want de meeste klachten gaan vanzelf over. Sterker nog, behandelen kan averechts werken. Terughoudend zijn is daarom belangrijk, bij artsen en bij patiënten. En het besef dat niet de zorg maar het individuele gedrag van mensen en hun sociale context bepalend zijn voor gezondheid. Veel meer aandacht dus voor leefstijl, maat schappelijke participatie, zingeving en betrouwbare patiëntinformatie. En een actieve overheid die haar burgers helpt bij de zoektocht naar een gezond leven. Dit boek is het resultaat van onderzoek van Tijn Kool en dat van veel van zijn collega’s. Hij heeft voor zijn oratie dankbaar gebruik kunnen maken van hun zinvolle resultaten over effectiviteit van zorg, obesitas, sociaal-economische gezondheidsverschillen en nog vele andere onderwerpen. Om de resultaten breed toegankelijk te maken schreef hij een publieksversie van zijn oratie. Tijn Kool is hoogleraar Passende Zorg aan de Radboud Universiteit/ Radboudumc. Hij is als arts en econoom al 35 jaar bevlogen bezig met implementeren van passende zorg en deïmplementeren van niet-passende zorg.

Hoe zit het met staan?: Cursus Nederlands voor anderstalige artsen
by L.M. Bekedam L.H.M. Palenstein Helderman-SusanHet beheersingsniveau van het Nederlands laat bij veel anderstalige instromers te wensen over, ook al is het staatsexamen behaald. Een arts functioneert alleen goed met voldoende kennis van Nederlandse equivalenten van medische termen, een goed begrip van wat een patiënt vertelt en het vermogen grammaticaal correcte zinnen te formuleren. Voor het ontwikkelen van deze taalvaardigheden is Hoe zit het met staan? een onmisbaar hulpmiddel.Alle negentien hoofdstukken beginnen met een gesprek tussen arts en patiënt. Deze gesprekken zijn opgenomen op cd–rom en gebaseerd op in de klinische praktijk gevoerde, realistische gesprekken. Het onderdeel Luisteren behandelt niet alleen het goed verstaan van woorden en begrippen, maar gaat ook in op het herkennen van de gemoedstoestand van de patiënt. Vocabulaire, Idioom en Grammatica komen in Hoe zit het met staan? uitgebreid aan de orde. In nagenoeg alle hoofdstukken wordt ook aandacht geschonken aan zaken die aanleiding kunnen geven tot misverstanden als gevolg van cultuurverschillen.

Hoffen und die Lust zu leben: Wie wir in der Ausrichtung auf Gesundheit und Glück Energie und Kraft finden
by Klaus-D. HüllemannIn diesem Buch lädt der Arzt und Psychotherapeut Professor Hüllemann ein, bei körperlichen, seelischen Krisen wie auch bei Alltagsfrust das Hoffen als Ressource zu entdecken und zu nutzen. Er wirbt dafür, den Affekt des Hoffens zu erleben – mit ihm, so zeigt der Autor, geht man aus sich heraus, macht sich weit, statt sich zu verengen. Bei Hoffnung denken viele zunächst an die Hoffnungslosigkeit – sie ist kaum auszuhalten, sie läuft den menschlichen Grundbedürfnissen zuwider, ist oft unerträglich. Und doch: Hoffnung ist das Lebensprinzip belasteter Menschen. Drei sich teilweise überlappende Hoffnungsfelder lassen sich beschreiben: (1) die Glückspielhoffnung, (2) die tapfere Hoffnung, (3) die sinngebende Hoffnung. Diese drei Felder unterscheiden sich und werden an Beispielen dargestellt. Auch diskutiert der Autor die Sinnfrage in Bezug auf Camus´ Sisyphos: Sisyphos ist ein glücklicher Mensch. Geschrieben für … … interessierte Laien. Psychotherapeuten, Ärzte und Berater können therapiebegleitend empfehlen. Der Autor: Prof. Dr. med. Klaus-Diethart Hüllemann, Facharzt für Innere Medizin, Psychosomatik Psychotherapie, Sportmedizin, Sozialmedizin, Rehabiliationswesen, langjähriger Ärztlicher Direktor, Initiator und Vorstand des Deutschen Netzes Gesundheitsfördernder Krankenhäuser und Gesundheitseinrichtungen g.e.V.. Er begegnete in seiner Tätigkeit bei WHO und Münchener Olympiade vielen namhaften Sportlern. Gründete die 1. Deutsche ambulante Herzsportgruppe im Deutschen Sportbund.
Hohes Alter in Deutschland (Schriften zu Gesundheit und Gesellschaft - Studies on Health and Society #8)
by Michael Wagner Clemens Tesch-Römer Julia Simonson Roman Kaspar Susanne ZankDies ist ein Open-Access-Buch.Trotz des schnellen Wachstums des Anteils der Bevölkerung in einem Alter ab 80 Jahren an der Gesamtbevölkerung ist das Wissen über diese Bevölkerungsgruppe bislang gering. Zwar gibt es thematisch, methodisch und regional spezifische Studien, jedoch keine repräsentative Erfassung der Lebenssituation und Lebensqualität dieser Altersgruppe für den gesamtdeutschen Raum. Eine gute Datenlage ist jedoch notwendig: Zum einen, um den besonderen Unterstützungsbedarfen im hohen Alter zukünftig besser gerecht werden zu können. Zum anderen, um Lösungsansätze für sozialpolitische Herausforderungen wie der sozialen Sicherung im Alter sowie im Hinblick auf eine Generationengerechtigkeit entwickeln zu können. Schließlich, um negativen Altersbildern und Vorurteilen über die Lebensqualität im hohen Alter empirisch fundiert entgegenwirken zu können. Die Studie "Hohes Alter in Deutschland“ (D80+) ist eine bundesweit repräsentative Querschnittsbefragung der hochaltrigen Menschen in Privathaushalten und in Heimen. Sie wird vom Bundesministerium für Familie, Senioren, Frauen und Jugend (BMFSFJ) gefördert und gemeinsam vom Cologne Center for Ethics, Rights, Economics, and Social Sciences of Health (ceres) und dem Deutschen Zentrum für Altersfragen (DZA) durchgeführt. Die Studie vereint Perspektiven der an den beteiligten Institutionen verorteten Disziplinen wie Soziologie, Psychologie, Versorgungswissenschaften, Gerontologie und Medizin. Im vorliegenden Band werden zentrale Befunde u.a. zu den Themenbereichen Soziale und Digitale Teilhabe, Gesundheit und Versorgung, sowie Werte und subjektives Wohlbefinden vorgestellt.
Hold Tight Gently: Michael Callen, Essex Hemphill, and the Battlefield of AIDS
by Martin DubermanIn December 1995, the FDA approved the release of protease inhibitors, the first effective treatment for AIDS. For countless people, the drug offered a reprieve from what had been a death sentence; for others, it was too late. In the United States alone, over 318,000 people had already died from AIDS-related complications-among them the singer Michael Callen and the poet Essex Hemphill.Meticulously researched and evocatively told, Hold Tight Gently is the celebrated historian Martin Duberman's poignant memorial to those lost to AIDS and to two of the great unsung heroes of the early years of the epidemic.Callen, a white gay Midwesterner who had moved to New York, became a leading figure in the movement to increase awareness of AIDS in the face of willful and homophobic denial under the Reagan administration; Hemphill, an African American gay man, contributed to the black gay and lesbian scene in Washington, D.C., with poetry of searing intensity and introspection.A profound exploration of the intersection of race, sexuality, class, identity, and the politics of AIDS activism beyond ACT UP, Hold Tight Gently captures both a generation struggling to cope with the deadly disease and the extraordinary refusal of two men to give in to despair.
Hold: A Medical Mystery
by Amy S. PeeleSarah Golden and Jackie Larsen promised their partners they were out of the detective business. They declared &“game over&” after both of them almost lost their lives trying to solve their last medical mystery, and they&’re happy with that decision: Sarah has finally allowed love and romance into her life, Jackie&’s marriage is solid, and Jackie&’s son, Wyatt, is still doing great with his year-old kidney transplant. So when they go on their dream trip to Cuba, they are not looking for trouble. But all their plans go out the window when a desperate plea from a Cuban transplant surgeon puts the duo in serious danger with the Cuban government on the same day the four most prominent immunologists in the world—doctors who were on the verge of solving the huge rejection issues that have plagued the transplant community for over fifty years—are killed in a car accident in Chicago. Soon, Sarah and Jackie find themselves dragged into the bowels of investigating venture capitalists and corporate greed—a terrain they know nothing about. As they uncover suspect clinical trials at major US transplant centers, including Sarah&’s, their usual friends Biker Bob and Officer Handsome aren&’t able to help them much, but they do receive assistance from an unlikely source: Sergio, who they helped to land in prison in Florida (and who is trying to win back his girlfriend), offers his help from the inside. Sarah and Jackie are armed with smarts, humor, and enough persistence to help them face the white-collared demons of corporate America—but with dangerous players gunning for them and death threats being made against their families, will they be able to solve this mystery before someone else gets hurt?
Holding Fast: The Struggle to Create Resilient Caregiving Organizations
by William A. KahnHow can caregivers remain both caring and strong enough to withstand the stress of their work?How can caregiving organizations effectively improve their management and practice?Increasing pressure on caregiving organizations to serve more people with fewer resources means that epidemics of burnout, high staff turnover, dissatisfaction and internal conflict often appear inevitable. Holding Fast focuses on the particular stress of caregiving work, its influences on the people and organizations who do that work, and what they can do about it. Illustrated by case studies based on extensive research in schools, hospitals, social work agencies, health care centres and religious institutions, Holding Fast identifies the problems faced by caregiving organizations, and outlines appropriate strategies for tackling these to create a resilient, effective organization. The book is divided into clear sections covering: * an introduction to the nature of caregiving organizations* the disturbances that can occur within them*the skills required to effectively lead them.Holding Fast offers a portrait of how organizations become, or are prevented from becoming, systems of caregiving. It will help leaders of caregiving organizations and their staff gain a better understanding of the difficulties encountered by their organizations, leading to improved management and practice.
Holding on to Normal: How I Survived Cancer and Made It to the Other Side, Happier, Healthier and Stronger
by Alana SomervilleA compelling memoir about trying to live meaningfully with illness and triumph beyond it, by breast cancer survivor Alana Somerville, a teacher and mother of two young children.I looked at all the sick people around me. Was I going to be like them? Was that already me? Did I suddenly have a time stamp on my life? Would I make it out of this alive? Alana Somerville—wife, teacher and mother of two small children—was thirty-three years old when she was diagnosed with stage-two, triple-negative breast cancer. The diagnosis changed her world and the relationships she had with everyone around her. Suddenly she was faced with endless medical appointments, multiple surgeries and procedures, the challenges of chemotherapy, and all the decisions involved in her treatment. She also had to deal with the trauma of realizing that her support network—sometimes even her closest friends—could struggle with how to help or even how to react to her anymore. Throughout the course of her illness, Alana learned to maneuver through the medical system, to advocate for herself, and to build a truly supportive network. She also discovered how to keep her positive spirit intact while undergoing a double mastectomy and ongoing treatment. She is now living cancer-free—a survivor and an advocate. Alana’s story is not unique. It’s a story that will resonate with anyone who has suffered illness and found themselves navigating a whole new world upon diagnosis. This is an “everywoman’s” journey through the experience of cancer, tracing the emotional, physical and psychological steps that are common to all. In the end, this memoir will offer hope that one can live a healthy, fulfilling and happy life beyond diagnosis. Holding on to Normal is for anyone who is suffering—or knows someone who is suffering from—a setback in life, and who is looking for inspiration on how to navigate their own journey.

Holistic Anatomy
by Pip WallerComplementary and alternative approaches to health and medicine have become increasingly widespread as the limits of conventional treatments become more apparent. Holistic Anatomy presents an authoritative study of anatomy, physiology, and pathology but expands the discussion by connecting the science of the body to a variety of alternative modalities to explore how human beings exist within--and interact with--their environment, and how they experience existence in emotional and spiritual terms. Basic scientific terminology and detailed descriptions are interwoven with informal, sometimes humorous observations, facts, and ideas about life. The mechanisms, structure, and functions of the body are explored, along with how they relate to spiritual and energetic paradigms, emotions, and ecological principles. The first half of the book covers basic anatomy and physiology, describing each major system of the body and how they interrelate. This part includes a thoughtful discussion of aging and the dying process. The second half focuses on models of health and disease, both traditional and holistic. Topics include western pathology, emotional health, five element medicine, and the spiritual cause for disease.
