The Behavioral Neurology of Dementia
The Behavioral Neurology of Dementia
Bradley F. Boeve, Mayo Foundation, Minnesota
The Behavioral Neurology of Dementia is a comprehensive textbook that offers a unique and modern approach to the diagnosis and treatment of patients with dementing conditions in the twenty-first century. The coverage is broad, ranging from common conditions such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinsonian disorders, vascular and frontotemporal dementia, to the more obscure such as Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease. Subtypes of mild cognitive impairment are presented and the early prodromes of neurodegenerative diseases are explored. Simple approaches to bedside mental status testing, differential diagnosis and treatment, genetic testing, interpreting neuropsychological testing and neuroimaging findings, and assessing rapidly progressive dementias, paraneoplastic syndromes and disorders of white matter give guidance to both the novice and expert in dementia. The basic science of dementia is outlined in introductory chapters on animal models of dementia, dementia epidemiology and dementia neuropathology.
- Comprehensive account of all dementing conditions - guides clinicians on a wide variety of conditions when diagnosis is in question
- Includes the latest advances in diagnosis and treatment - provides readers with the latest advances in understanding and managing these conditions
- Includes suggestions for future work in areas that are in need of more research - gives physician-scientists ideas for future research
