内容説明

The rapidly growing geriatric population had brought about the need for a comprehensive guide to care of the elderly. Dr Ferri and Dr Fretwell strive to cover the topics that are relevant and specific to the practice of geriatric medicine. The book provides descriptions of the most common geriatric diseases, and covers the diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of each condition.
