Description

Forensic pathologists and clinicians are increasingly faced with challenges when it comes to geriatric cases, due to an aging population and increased comorbidities in the elderly.

This text provides an up-to-date guide to all facets of geriatric forensic pathology, with contributions from experts from a variety of disciplines.

Packed with color illustrations and case examples, chapters cover inflicted, self-inflicted, and accidental trauma, as well as natural conditions leading to unexpected death.

In addition, specific chapters cover a wide range of difficult and topical areas, from elder abuse, dementias, and nutrition to pharmacology and toxicology issues, long-term care facilities, and scene investigation.

Topics such as euthanasia are also explored to provide the reader with a rich, contemporary understanding of medicolegal issues.

This is an invaluable resource not only for pathologists, but also for medical practitioners and lawyers dealing with geriatric cases.

The book comes packaged with online access to the text and high-resolution images.
