Dementia is a devastating diagnosis for patients

Dementia comes in many forms that can be hard to differentiate. Arriving at an accurate diagnosis without subjecting an already wary patient to unnecessary tests requires clinical acumen. Identifying the correct dementia, and determining a probable prognosis, allows agreement on appropriate management and care with patients and their carers.

But how much testing is needed? What do the tests tell you? What management options are available?

Dementia provides a progressive approach to help you identify and manage the many forms of this complex and devastating disease. Dr Quinn has assembled a team of expert neurologists and gerontologists to provide the foundation knowledge you need to develop the clinical wisdom for effective dementia care. Dementia clearly explains the diagnosis, investigations and management for





Normal pressure hydrocephalus Mild cognitive impairment Alzheimers disease Vascular dementia Dementia with Lewy bodies Fronto-temporal dementia

Clinical in approach, practical in execution, Dementia helps you diagnose and treat your patients more effectively.

Recenzijos

"This is an excellent overview of the differential diagnosis and treatment of patients with dementia. It provides practical tips to guide clinicians through the initial diagnosis, current treatment options, and long-term complexities of caring for patients with cognitive decline. The information is presented in a clinically relevant and concise manner. With further advances in neuroimaging, disease markers, and, hopefully, treatment options, more books like this will be needed to provide clinicians with up-to-date reviews of current practice guidelines." (Doody's, 13 February 2015)

"The tone is practical, not academic, with authors offering assistance on what might be done and what should be avoided." (European Journal of Nuclear Medicine Molecular Imaging, 2015)

Joseph Quinn, MD, Associate Professor of Neurology, Oregon Health and Science University Dr. Quinn has served as a neurologist clinician in the Oregon Alzheimer's Disease Center since 1994 and has served as Director of the Genetics and Biomarkers Core since 2007. Dr. Quinn's overall research focus is on developing strategies for treating and preventing Alzheimer's disease and other dementias. Specific research projects range from animal studies testing experimental agents, up to large national multi-center clinical trials of experimental drugs for dementing illnesses. The translation of ideas from the laboratory to the clinic is a particular interest, which is served in part by the Biomarkers core of the Oregon Alzheimer's Center. The Biomarkers Core helps develop blood tests and other disease markers for use in "proof of concept" clinical trials which are necessary to move treatment ideas from animal models to human subjects.
