Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this special issue of Diagnostics, expert contributors have produced up-to-date research studies and reviews on various topics related to the diagnosis of dementia and cognitive impairment. The methods of the assessments discussed extend from simple neurological signs, which may be elicited in the clinical encounter, through cognitive screening instruments, to sophisticated analyses of neuroimaging and cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers of disease. It is hoped that these various methods may facilitate earlier diagnosis of dementia and its subtypes, and provide differential diagnosis of depression and functional cognitive disorders, as a prelude to meaningful interventions.

This book was released on 2003-12-23 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text clearly presents a multitude of variables that potentially affect the results of neuropsychological tests. THe chapter authors, all noted experts in their respective fields, begin with a general discussion of neuropsychological constructs known to impact performance on neuropsychological tests, including demographics, personality, and sociocultural factors. They then present an empirical approach to assessment. They focus on the disorders under discussion (not solely the tests that might be used in diagnosis) and reflect the contributions the field has made to detecting differences in disorders that have neurological underpinnings. The disorders reviewed include dementia, HIV-related syndromes, adult seizure disorders, toxic exposure, mild to severe brain injury, and chronic fatigue syndrome.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vascular dementia is one of the most common forms of mental deterioration for the elderly, second only to Alzheimer's disease. It should not be defined as a single disease, but rather as a group of syndromes that relate to different vascular mechanisms. This is one of the first books to be solely dedicated to the specific class of vascular dementia known as subcortical vascular dementia. The strict focus of the chapters give an depth review that will clarify many different aspects and give an unprecedented amount of detail about this clinical problem. Considering that vascular dementia can be prevented with early diagnosis, the research presented in this book will be important for both students and specialists of this important field.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The management of Alzheimer's Disease and the related dementias is one of the major challenges to health care professionals and American society-at-large for the coming decade and the coming millennium. The rapid growth of the over-eighty-five population, the group which, as recent studies have confirmed and as many of us clinicians have long suspected, has an even higher prevalence than previously quoted of dementing disorders, is the major cause of this. We are thus challenged by, as Bernard Issacs used to call it, "the survival of the unfittest," as well as the oPtimistic approach of "bringing life to years," as John F. Kennedy said. The fact is that we, as a society, tend to confuse "treatment" and "cure" (and "prevention"). As the proceedings of the conference which this book represents emphasize, there is considerable work going on about the potential prevention of, or at least the reduction of, symptomatology in these illnesses by interventions genetically, chemIcally, and so forth. However, the more we find out, the more complicated it becomes, and the more heterogeneous Alzheimer's and the related disorders appear to be, not only in their manifestations (as clinicians have long recognized) but also in the individual initiating and underlying processes. For these reasons, absolute preventive techniques or the likelihood of an intervention which will reverse the process in a high proportion of patients, do not appear to be just around the corner.

Download or read book The End of Alzheimer's? written by Thomas J Lewis Ph D and published by Tjlphd, LLC. This book was released on 2014-12-22 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is hope for sufferers of Alzheimer's disease and for those concerned about their future risk for the disease. The solution lies in the diagnosis, not in the treatments designated for the disease today. Alzheimer's is NOT a disease exclusively of the brain. A thorough broad and deep diagnosis of your entire health will often provide answers about the causes of Alzheimer's. With this knowledge in hand, you and your doctor may take measures to prevent, slow, stop, or reverse Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia. In "The End of Alzheimer's - A Differential Diagnosis Toward a Cure." Drs. Lewis and Trempe explore the disease and a proper diagnosis in detail. They describe the pitfalls and shortcoming of current medical research and clinical medicine. Most importantly they provide a simplified guide through a mountain of emerging science and medical information and explain what to obtain for a proper and comprehensive diagnosis, why there is hope for disease sufferers today, and forecast optimism for effective treatments in the future. They also include a 5-phase program to prevent Alzheimer's, diagnosis the disease in asymptomatic people, find route causes of the disease, and offer disease management and treatment advice. Here is what experts are saying about "The End of Alzheimer's?" Dr. Alzheimer, for whom Alzheimer's disease is named, would be totally perplexed and disheartened at the fact that after a century of research and over 100,000 scientific and medical papers written on the subject, patients presently diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease are no better off now than they were in 1907, when he diagnosed the first Alzheimer's case. This fact alone invites the troubling question, are we on the right track to finding a way to help Alzheimer patients? To search for an answer to this consequential question, one needs to read "The End of Alzheimer's?" by Dr. Thomas Lewis and Dr. Clement Trempe who write about this disquieting problem and possible ways to solve it. Drs. Lewis and Trempe have written a mind-opening, well-informed and intelligent account of the history, present and future interventions, and distillation of keen thinking on the subject of Alzheimer's disease. This book will be the focus of many prospective and pivotal discussions on how medical research will eventually govern this mind-shattering disorder. Jack C. de la Torre, MD, PhD, Professor of Psychology, University of Texas, Austin Austin, Texas 79712, Senior Editor, Journal of Alzheimer's Disease The brilliant strategy by Drs. Lewis and Trempe takes advantage of revolutionary new concepts for guiding enhancement of immune function and treatment of chronic infections in prevention and treatment of Alzheimer's disease. The diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment by psychological testing, combined with assessment of ophthalmological abnormalities and determination of health status through thorough testing of biochemical markers related to infection and inflammation, are necessary for improving the prognosis and reducing the risk of dementia. The implications of this strategy for the individual and for the population are enormous. Control of dementia, atherosclerosis, and degenerative diseases of aging by the insights of Drs. Lewis and Trempe has the potential for revolutionizing management of chronic disease in the general population. Kilmer S.

Download or read book Neuroimaging in Dementia written by Frederik Barkhof and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-02-11 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This up-to-date, superbly illustrated book is a practical guide to the effective use of neuroimaging in the patient with cognitive decline. It sets out the key clinical and imaging features of the various causes of dementia and directs the reader from clinical presentation to neuroimaging and on to an accurate diagnosis whenever possible. After an introductory chapter on the clinical background, the available "toolbox" of structural and functional neuroimaging techniques is reviewed in detail, including CT, MRI and advanced MR techniques, SPECT and PET, and image analysis methods. The imaging findings in normal ageing are then discussed, followed by a series of chapters that carefully present and analyze the key findings in patients with dementias. Throughout, a practical approach is adopted, geared specifically to the needs of clinicians (neurologists, radiologists, psychiatrists, geriatricians) working in the field of dementia, for whom this book will prove an invaluable resource.
