Management of Dementia |
| Synopsis: |
The second edition of Management of Dementia combines a balanced review of the latest knowledge and research in this area with practical guidance based on the authors' considerable personal experience in dementia care.Topics include: * The diagnostic criteria of Parkinson's disease dementia * Approaches to combat behavioural disturbances, depression, psychosis, and agitation * Suggestions for overcoming sleep disturbances * An update on the many genetic findings in Alzheimer's disease, frontotemporal dementia, and dementia with Lewy bodies * Biological markers of Parkinson's disease dementia * Symptomatic and disease-modifying treatments, including drugs and other potential preventive or stabilizing methods * Advice for managing the difficult later stages of dementia in long-term care * New assessment scales * Management of dementia using primary and secondary prevention * Drug treatments for patients with specific causes of dementia * Treatments based on an individual's phenotypic and genetic features Directed at practitioners who want to practice evidence-based medicine without losing sight of the patient, this volumr is designed to ensure physicians are dispensing the most appropriate pharmacology while also using other non-pharmacological treatments to their optimum effect.Concise and easy to read, the book provides readers with a full knowledge of the evolution of modern dementia care as well as the basis for understanding new developments as they occur. |
