内容説明・目次
内容説明
Alzheimer's disease is a particularly insidious affliction that profoundly affects the patient as well as family and friends. Written by a distinguished group of researchers and clinicians, Progress in Alzheimer's Disease and Similar Conditions provides medical professionals who investigate and treat brain diseases with updated research findings and their implications. This treasury of clinical and research expertise presents important findings in genetics, epidemiology, pathology, pharmacology, and pathophysiology. This book covers a range of important issues, from basic clinical science to pharmacology and social support. In particular, Dr. Heston's book details the spectacular advances in research on human genetics that are broadening our knowledge of Alzheimer's disease and other related afflictions and that have profound implications for both clinical practice and further research. Two chapters describe disease mechanisms, including prions, that provide important insights into the role environment plays in the development of disease.
Other chapters highlight the clinical challenges that Alzheimer's disease presents, including stories about the pain inflicted by this disease on the patients and their families and friends, as well as current efforts in management and treatment.
