Dementia

A practical book by a leading Czech author, doc. MUDr. Vladimír Pidrman, Ph. D., presents the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of dementia. It deals with the neurobiochemistry, pathology and neuropathology of dementia and presents therapeutic approaches for the treatment of cognitive disorders, behavioural disorders and changes in activities of daily living. And all this from both pharmacological and behavioural perspectives. Nor does it forget nutrition - an often neglected issue for dementia patients. It defines the role of the caregiver. The publication is supplemented with interesting case reports and is intended especially for the general medical public and medical students.
