The physiology and living conditions of people change as they grow old, whereas it is often more difficult to adapt eating habits to the new requirements. Psychological aspects come to the fore. The challenge for giving specific nutritional advice is therefore particularly great. This volume in the book series Nutritional Practice provides all the information needed for the competent care of elderly people. It deals with general aspects of nutrition in old age, as well as specific nutritional situations such as poor diet, dehydration, chewing and swallowing problems, dementia, mobility, oral and food hygiene or nutrition at the end of life. A further section is concerned with communal catering.
For the first time, this volume explores the identities of leprosy sufferers and other people affected by the disease in medieval Europe. The chapters, including contributions by leading voices such as Luke Demaitre, Carole Rawcliffe and Charlotte Roberts, challenge the view that people with leprosy were uniformly excluded and stigmatised. Instead, they reveal the complexity of responses to this disease and the fine line between segregation and integration. Ranging across disciplines, from history to bioarchaeology, Leprosy and identity in the Middle Ages encompasses post-medieval perspectives as well as the attitudes and responses of contemporaries. Subjects include hospital care, diet, sanctity, miraculous healing, diagnosis, iconography and public health regulation. This richly illustrated collection presents previously unpublished archival and material sources from England to the Mediterranean.
Adequate nutrition and a healthy lifestyle – before and during pregnancy - are of great importance for a trouble-free pregnancy, birth, and the subsequent development of the child. Since the nutritional status before the onset of pregnancy influences both fertility and the course of pregnancy, including complications, the birth and breastfeeding, close attention should be paid to a healthy diet and adequate supply of essential (micro)nutrients well in advance and not only at the family planning stage. Poor micronutrient status prior to conception is often carried over into pregnancy, and can significantly increase the risk of pregnancy complications and, for example, lead to the dreaded spina bifida in the child. This patient guide tells you what you need to know! Various micronutrients are described in detail. Special emphasis is placed on the latest study results concerning pregnancy and nutrition.
Midwives use drugs on their own authority, or guide and support pregnant and breastfeeding women in their therapy. At the same time, the giving of drugs during pregnancy and lactation frequently entails a balancing act between medical need and experience on the one hand and often the absence of studies with evidence of harmlessness and safety on the other. Anyone who wants to make the correct decisions and deal responsibly with this dilemma can only do so on the basis of solid knowledge. This new reference book provides ideal preparation and imparts the necessary information: - General advice on the handling of drugs and the principles of pharmacology - Description of common drug substances and particular aspects of their use in pregnancy, childbirth and lactation - Treatment options from complementary medicine and phytotherapy - Advice about correct diet The clear and concise presentation of facts as well as numerous illustrations make it easier to understand and grasp the content. Text boxes highlight important elements or refer the reader to interesting additional information: The textbook and reference work for students, practical training and everyday work!
Cough, hay fever or herpes are at least as troublesome during pregnancy and breast-feeding as under normal “conditions” - and yet everything is different. Physiological changes to the body in pregnancy and lactation, together with the vulnerability of the unborn baby or infant, set particular requirements when selecting the correct, safe medication. Especially in the area of self-medication, the needs of pregnant and breast-feeding women for information are great and call for competent advice! This comprehensive handbook is the key: General information about pharmacotherapy, supplementary measures, vaccinations, questions about diet and infections in pregnancy and lactation creates a broad knowledge base. The core feature of the book are the traffic light tables, with precise recommendations for medicinal products for all types of treatment. All the important indications for selfmedication in pregnancy and lactation are listed and the tables are supported by detailed explanations of the individual assessments. The sections “Advice from medical specialists” are particularly useful, with additional tips from gynaecologists and “Footnotes” with relevant information on the use of prescription- only medicines – and as the ultimate practical tool: the enclosed sales counter leaflets with all traffic light tables to enable quick reference for first-class advice!
»Was ich brauche, was ich so dringend brauche, ist das Gefühl, daß es bei all diesem Hin und Her einen Ausgangspunkt gibt, der, wenn er auch nie wieder erreicht werden kann, dennoch bestehen bleibt – ein solcher Ausgangspunkt wären meine Gedichte, wenn ich sie in Sicherheit wüßte, sauber abgedruckt und gebunden.« An Diet Kloos, 6. 9. 1949 1952 erschien bei der Deutschen Verlags-Anstalt Paul Celans Gedichtband Mohn und Gedächtnis: vier Zyklen aus 56 Gedichten. In diesen Gedichten zog Paul Celan die Summe seines bis dahin entstandenen Werks, zugleich eine Lebenssumme: Auf dem bitteren Weg von Verfolgung und Exil hatte er über die Stationen Bukarest und Wien schließlich Paris erreicht. Mohn und Gedächtnis erfüllte für Celan endlich jenen quälenden Wunsch seines Briefes an Diet Kloos vom 6.September 1949 nach einem Buch als »Ausgangspunkt« seiner künftigen Existenz. Mit Mohn und Gedächtnis drang Celan erstmals ins Bewußtsein der literarisch interessierten öffentlichkeit der Bundesrepublik Deutschland. Vorausgegangen war dem zwar bereits 1948 die in Wien erschienene Gedichtsammlung Der Sand aus den Urnen, doch ließ Celan die Restbestände dieses von Druckfehlern entstellten und praktisch wirkungslosen Buches 1951 makulieren. Einen großen Teil der Gedichte von Der Sand aus den Urnen hat er in Mohn und Gedächtnis übernommen. Die enge Beziehung beider Bücher wird daher auch editorisch dargestellt. Die Bonner Ausgabe ist die umfassende, maßgebliche Ausgabe der Werke Paul Celans. Sie dokumentiert vollständig die Entstehung der Texte. Dies geschieht in genauester Beschreibung der überlieferungsträger und in der genetischen Darstellung der einzelnen Textschichten.
The market is growing for homeopathic remedies, diets and all kinds of miracle cures. Although homeopathic practitioners in Germany are largely unregulated, their supporters are growing in number. An industry has sprung up around alternative medicine that draws on the mistrust towards the pharmaceutical industry, medicine and the media. Many products are as harmless as they are ineffective – but some are dangerous or even lethal. Beate Frenkel investigates: where is the source of this boom? What role do conspiracy theories play as well as the influence of the internet? Why do politicians and the German Medical Association take so few preventive steps? Powerful examples are backed up with statements from doctors, patients and alternative medicine practitioners.
