Description

The practice of geriatric medicine differs in many respects from that of non elderly patients. In old age, diseases are more likely to present atypically, history is sometimes unavailable and physical signs can be non–specific or even absent altogether. Nevertheless a careful, thorough physical examination searching for important signs of disease can reveal significant clues to diagnosis.


Instead of relying increasingly in high-technology procedures, clinicians should value far more the diagnostic clues that only the careful observation of signs can provide. That, combined with rigorous medical history, is irreplaceable and forever the strong foundation of good practice. Correct diagnosis is obviously the key to appropriate medical care – and only possible if we stick to solid clinical principles. That is why Atlas of Geriatrics is a most useful tool to students, practitioners, and to their trainers.


Atlas of Geriatrics aims to help clinicians involved in the care of the elderly to diagnose the most prevalent disorders that might lie behind his(her) patient`s physical signs. The range of illustrations is as broad as possible in an attempt to cover the main signs and diseases frequently encountered in geriatric practice.
