Dementia with Lewy Bodies Zusammenfassung

Dementia with Lewy Bodies: Clinical, Pathological, and Treatment Issues Robert Perry (Department of Neuropathology, Newcastle General Hospital)

Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) is perhaps the second most common cause of degenerative dementia after Alzheimer's disease. This book, which represents the first authoritative statement about DLB, arises from a workshop held in Newcastle, England, in October 1995, which brought together leading investigators with clinical and research experience of this condition. It includes review articles, case studies and recent research findings from the main centres studying DLB. Covering the classification, cognitive manifestations, clinical diagnosis, epidemiology, genetics, neuropathology, neurochemistry and treatment of DLB, this is a landmark publication in clinical neuroscience. It presents new operational criteria for research on DLB, and will interest all concerned with the problem of dementia in the elderly.

Dementia with Lewy Bodies Bewertungen

"...strongly recommended for clinical and basic investigators with interests in the broad field of neurodegeneration or those specifically working in the fields of behavioural neurology, neuropsychiatry, movement disorders and neuropharmacology." Anthony E. Lang, Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences
