VOLUME TWO
As the global population ages, healthcare professionals are increasingly challenged by the complex medical, surgical, functional, and rehabilitative needs of older adults. Geriatric Medicine Volume II provides a comprehensive, evidence-informed resource focused on disease management, geriatric surgery, rehabilitation, and restoration of function in aging populations. This volume emphasizes a person-centered approach that integrates medical treatment with the preservation of independence, mobility, cognition, and quality of life.

Geriatric Medicine Volume II provides a comprehensive, evidence-informed resource focused on disease management, geriatric surgery, rehabilitation, and restoration of function in aging populations. This volume emphasizes a person-centered approach that integrates medical treatment with the preservation of independence, mobility, cognition, and quality of life.
Designed for physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, pharmacists, therapists, educators, students, researchers, and healthcare administrators, this volume explores the diagnosis, treatment, and multidisciplinary management of common and complex conditions affecting older adults. The text addresses respiratory, gastrointestinal, metabolic, renal, neurologic, musculoskeletal, infectious, oncologic, and endocrine disorders while highlighting the unique physiological changes associated with aging.
A distinguishing feature of this work is its integration of geriatric medicine with surgical care, rehabilitation science, exercise medicine, adaptive technologies, frailty assessment, functional recovery, and interdisciplinary care planning. Rather than focusing solely on disease processes, the book emphasizes maintaining independence, reducing disability, preventing complications, and supporting successful aging. Topics Covered
- Respiratory diseases and chronic pulmonary disorders
-Gastrointestinal, liver, metabolic, and nutritional disorders
-Diabetes, obesity, and metabolic syndrome in older adults
-Kidney disease and electrolyte disorders
- Neurologic disorders, Parkinson disease, and stroke
- Osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, and musculoskeletal aging
- Cancer and hematologic disorders in later life
- Infectious diseases, immunization, and prevention
- Principles of geriatric surgery and perioperative assessment
- Frailty, surgical risk, and postoperative recovery
- Orthopedic, cardiac, thoracic, abdominal, vascular, and emergency surgery
- Rehabilitation medicine and restoration of function
- Physical, occupational, speech, and swallowing therapies
- Exercise medicine, strength training, and balance enhancement
-Cognitive rehabilitation and adaptive technologies
- Assistive devices and strategies to maintain independence Why Readers Will Benefit
This volume moves beyond traditional disease-centered medical texts by addressing how aging affects physical function, cognition, resilience, mobility, nutrition, and recovery. It incorporates contemporary perspectives on frailty, multimorbidity, rehabilitation, quality-of-life outcomes, and individualized treatment planning. Healthcare professionals will gain practical insights into optimizing care across acute, outpatient, surgical, rehabilitative, and long-term care settings.
Whether used as a professional reference, academic textbook, educational resource, or clinical guide, Geriatric Medicine Volume II provides the knowledge and tools necessary to support healthy aging, improve functional outcomes, and deliver compassionate, evidence-based care to older adults
