Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the general population ages, the number of elderly patients with mild to severe cognitive impairments can be expected to increase. Improved recognition of the risks for future Alzheimer's Disease (AD), improved characterization of the natural history of AD, and the increased understanding of the neuropathy of AD will lead to early diagnosis and to developing effective treatments. An Atlas of Alzheimer's Disease presents photographs, line drawings, charts, graphs, and text that identify heuristically useful stages of disease progression across behavioral, neuroimaging, and neuropathology research areas. The atlas closely examines the major pathological brain lesions in AD and provides an in-depth view of the neurofibrillary degeneration of AD and beta-amyloid deposits in the brain. It concisely covers current knowledge in the key areas of AD research, including clinical diagnostic features, and explores the clinical, anatomical, and pathological knowledge bases that have shaped our understanding of AD. With its exceptional illustrations and contributions from leading research groups, An Atlas of Alzheimer's Disease provides a deeper understanding of the disease and the importance of early diagnosis and management.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A lot of research on biomarkers for Alzheimer is being done in the last few decades. The aim of these studies is to find some method to ease the diagnosis of Alzheimers as early as possible. Such methods are a range of blood or CSF tests on one hand and several types of neuroimaging scans on the other. Many of the images coming both from laboratory and neuroimaging are very visual and illustrative. These images, accompanied by a short description, can perfectly explain the main results and usefulness of every biomarker. The objective of this book would be to summarize the most important studies made in this field. Few publications have systematically compiled results on this topic and only one as an atlas. Readers would be interested in this publication because it allows reviewing the current status of research by handily visualizing the results.

Book excerpt: "Alzheimer's atlas: Strategies in Alzheimer's disease management" is a comprehensive exploration of Alzheimer's disease, offering readers an in-depth understanding of its various dimensions, from molecular intricacies to societal impacts. The book begins by providing a historical context and unveiling key discoveries, setting the stage for a profound exploration of this neurodegenerative condition. The molecular culprits, beta-amyloid and tau proteins, are dissected, unraveling the intricate web they weave in the progression of Alzheimer's. The book guides readers through the stages of the disease, from early signs and symptoms to the advanced pathology that characterizes later stages. Diverse types of Alzheimer's, including early-onset and familial forms, are examined, emphasizing the need for personalized approaches to both care and research. A global perspective emphasizes the universality of Alzheimer's impact, prompting collaborative efforts, research networks, and shared knowledge to address the challenges faced by healthcare systems worldwide. The significance of early detection and diagnostic tools is underscored, providing insights into shaping effective interventions. Caregiving, emotional impacts on caregivers, and coping strategies are explored, recognizing the profound challenges faced by those supporting individuals with Alzheimer's. The book delves into holistic approaches to care, highlighting the role of nutrition, exercise, and non-pharmacological interventions in enriching the quality of life for those navigating Alzheimer's. Financial planning, legal considerations, and the importance of support systems are detailed, acknowledging the multifaceted dimensions of managing Alzheimer's. A comprehensive glossary serves as a valuable resource, ensuring clarity for readers engaging with the terminological landscape of Alzheimer's disease. The narrative unfolds with a beacon of hope for the future. Research initiatives, international collaborations, and advancements in technology offer promising glimpses into innovative treatments and personalized care.

Book excerpt: This thoughtful new work begins by asking the question what is normal in cognitive and pathological ageing?' The clinician's experience of dementia and mild cognitive impairment suggests that these conditions present in a variety of forms and progress at different rates, with a spectrum of disability ranging from a barely perceptible loss of mental acuity to the severe debilitation of advanced Alzheimer's disease. This atlas utilises diagnostic imaging, histopathological findings, schematic diagrams and other graphics to illustrate the symptom profiles, etiology, and epidemiology of the more common dementias. The authors present comparisons of Alzheimer's and Lewy body disease, frontal temporal and vascular dementias and other dementing illnesses, to illustrate the problems inherent in distinguishing between them, and in making a diagnosis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Offering a unique format of high quality illustrations and clear, concise text, COLOR ATLAS AND TEXT OF NEUROLOGY is the perfect reference to improve the non-specialist's fundamental understanding of neurological disorders. It provides vital information on the key techniques of the neurological work-up: analysis of behavior, interview, examination, presenting physical signs, and analysis of investigation results. From cover to cover, it assists the reader in making an accurate diagnosis -- an often difficult task in this challenging area. Extremely well illustrated, with just the right amount of textual information to help the physician perform the neurological work-up and arrive at a correct diagnosis. Contains a high proportion of clinical examination information, symptom discussion, and corresponding artwork, assisting the reader in making informed decisions. Focuses on the most common diseases and disorders -- those that are typical of what the non-neurologist is likely to see in his or her practice. Includes information on clinical and pathological appearances of neurological disorders, with a brief description of each; also covers the course, clinical presentation, differential diagnosis, investigations, and principles of management for each disorder.

Book excerpt: Among all the clinical indications for which radiologists, nuclear medicine phy- cians, neurologists, neurosurgeons, psychiatrists (and others examining disorders of the brain) order and read brain PET scans, demand is greatest for those pertaining to dementia and related disorders. This demand is driven by the sheer prevalence of those conditions, coupled with the fact that the differential diagnosis for causes of cognitive impairment is wide and often difficult to distinguish clinically. The conceptual framework by which evaluation and management of dementia is guided has evolved considerably during the last decade. Although we still are far from having ideal tests or dramatic cures for any of the established causes of dementia, our options have expanded with respect to both the diagnostic and the- peutic tools now available. In the first chapter of this book, the contribution and limitations of different elements of the clinical examination for diagnosis of cog- tive symptoms are described, and the roles of structural and functional neuroim- ing in the clinical workup are given context.
