A progress report on the cutting-edge research into Alzheimer’s Disease and other forms of dementia, this important volume has particular emphasis on topics that are applicable to clinical practice.
In this latest instalment, Serge Gauthier, Philip Scheltens and Jeffrey Cummings cover some of the emerging therapies for Alzheimer’s Disease, including:
* statins
* GAG minetics
* immunotherapy
* the use of hormonal therapy and atypical anti-psychotic agents in the treatment of other related dementias.
Also summarizing current understanding of the pathophysiology of mild cognitive impairment, as well as research into tau pathologies, this is a key addition to literature in the area.
