Alzheimer's Disease [antikvár]

Series Introduction Therapeutics has become a major part of neurological practice. For many neurological conditions good therapy exists. The use of levodopa in Parkinson's disease has provided a model of neurotransmitter replace- ment therapy in neurodegenerative diseases. We are still in the process of searching for symptomatic treatment for other degenerative disorders. The current book is concerned with the comprehensive management of Alzheimer's disease, including drug therapy and behavioral therapy as well as the long-term care of the patient with dementing illness. The final section of the book points to future directions in treatment Drs. Cum- mings and Miller are to be complimented for providing so much useful in- formation on the treatment and management of Alzheimer's disease. William C. Roller, M.D., Ph.D.
