"The volume provides an introduction to the concept of active surveillance in oncology in general and prostate cancer specifically. The primary focus is to provide a comprehensive guide to the management of patients on surveillance. The volume covers the many complexities and nuances to this approach including, patient selection, risk assessment, how to overcome 'cancer hysteria' when counseling patients, identifying appropriate triggers for intervention, use of PSA kinetics and MR imaging information, technique and frequency of biopsies, secondary prevention interventions, and the relative roles of surveillance and focal therapy."

"This volume addresses the unique property of ghrelin as a modulator of function. Such a property provides potential utility for safe intervention in a wide variety of disease states. Indeed as we learn more about the basic physiology of ghrelin, the potential for treating new disease targets emerge requiring validation in the clinic. Each chapter in this volume is authored by a leading investigator in the field. The introductory chapter sets the background for the book and provides a superb overview of the relevance of ghrelin to physiology, describing how the discovery of ghrelin has prompted us to completely rethink traditional physiology. The authors conclude their chapters by critically addressing the future translational aspects of ghrelin biology and outlining what key basic research and clinical questions remain to be addressed. An invaluable resource, Ghrelin in Health and Disease distinguishes itself as the first comprehensive title covering all of the molecular and clinical issues relating to ghrelin and advancing our clinical understanding of obesity, growth, and reproductive pathogenesis."

"Tujuan : Mengetahui apakah Iatihan Four Square Step dapat meningkatkan keseimbangan pada lansia.Desain : Study Kasus - KontrolSubjek : Tiga puluh orang lansia dibagi secara acak dalam dua kelompok Irtervensi :Kelompok kasus yang mendapat latihan Sit and Rise + Four Square Step serta kelompok kontrol yang mendapat latihan Sit and Rise. Parameter yang diukur keseirnbangan menggunakan alat ukur keseimbanngan FICSIT-4.Tempat : Penelitian dilaksanakan di Bagian Ilmu Kedokteran Fisik dan Rehabilitasi RS Hasan Sadikin Bandung 2005.Hasil : Dengan uji Friedman untuk kelompok berpasangan didapat perbedaan bermakna terhadap peningkatan nilai keseimbangan pada lansia dengan menggunakan alas ukur FICSIT-4.Kesimpulan : Lansia yang diberikan latihan Four Square Step mempunyai nilai FICSIT-4 lebih baik secara signifikans dibanding sebelum latihan.

Objective : To determine if Four Square Step can increased geriatric balance

Design : Case control study

Subject : 30 geriatric persons divided into 2 group randomly.

Intervention : First group were given sit and rise exercise plus Four Square Step exercise. Control group were given sit and rise exercise only. Balance in both group was measured with (FICSIT- 4).

Setting : At Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Perjan dr.Hasan Sadikin Hospital Bandung.

Result : There was a significant difference in the increase of balance between the intervention and control group.

Conclution : Geriatric persons who are given Four Square Step Exercise , have a better increase of the FICSIT-4 point."

"This book is concerned with the general issues of ageing, learning and education for the elderly and then with the more specific issues of why, how and what elders want to learn. This monograph consists of 10 chapters written by various internationally renowned researchers and scholar-practitioners in the field."

"This book examines the key aging processes in seven countries (United States, United Kingdom, Sweden, Japan, China, Nepal, and South Africa) and the main policies that have been, and are being, developed to deal with this rapid change in the demographic profile. It addresses the problems that are identified as well as the positive aspects of aging within each of these contrasting societies. "

"The aging of gay men is as revolutionary as the movements for gay liberation and AIDS. With the aging of the Baby Boomer generation, we are witnessing a new phenomenon: gay men entering old age. This event is transforming our views of old age; the composition of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender communities; and the field of gerontology. Queer Aging addresses the timely question: What is like to be an older gay man? It brings the stories and the voices of a diverse group of men-black, Latino, and white-to uncover the aging experience and examine how race, AIDS, and age together are shaping the lives of these men."

"This book creates a foundation for an interdisciplinary discussion of the trajectory of disability and long-term care for older people of Mexican-origin from a bi-national perspective. Although the literature on Latino elders in the United States is growing, few of these studies or publications offer the breadth and depth contained in this book."
