Description
- Dementia has been increasingly the focus of research and practice in recent years and a large body of knowledge has been accumulated. Despite these developments there have been relatively few books published on dementia with Parkinson's disease. With contributions from experts in the field, this edited volume will cover all aspects of the disease and detail the current status of knowledge.
- Edited by Murat Emre, an expert and leader in the field.
- The chapters are very comprehensive and the chapter contributors are all expert researchers in the field of Parkinson's disease at an international level.
- The book's contents aim to robustly address the pertinent issues both clinically and scientifically. This should allow the prospective audience a good understanding of current expert opinion as well as providing a reference for the uninitiated.
New to this edition
- Chapters on Biomarkers for cognitive impairment and dementia in PD and Epidemiology, features and prognosis of Mild Cognitive Impairment in Parkinson's disease
In this edited volume, experts on the treatment of dementia associated with Parkinson's Disease (PD) describe in detail the current status of knowledge in their respective area of expertise. The importance and clinical relevance of cognitive impairment and dementia in PD is emphasized, all relevant aspects including epidemiology, full and detailed spectrum of clinical features, current knowledge on pathology, neurochemistry and genetics, findings in auxillary investigations, relation to other neurodegenerative disorders, diagnostic process and management are described, rounded-up by discussion of future research directions and expectations. The text is complemented and enriched with tables, figures and is heavily referenced thereby capturing all relevant literature.
