Wiley-Blackwell Dementia: 3 (NIP- Neurology in Practice)

Review “This is an excellent overview of the differential diagnosis and treatment of patients with dementia. It provides practical tips to guide clinicians through the initial diagnosis, current treatment options, and long-term complexities of caring for patients with cognitive decline. The information is presented in a clinically relevant and concise manner. With further advances in neuroimaging, disease markers, and, hopefully, treatment options, more books like this will be needed to provide clinicians with up-to-date reviews of current practice guidelines.”  (Doody’s, 13 February 2015)"The tone is practical, not academic, with authors offering assistance on what might be done and what should be avoided." (European Journal of Nuclear Medicine Molecular Imaging 2015)  The tone is practical, not academic, with authors offering assistance on what might be done and what should be avoided.   Product Description Dementia is a devastating diagnosis for patientsDementia comes in many forms that can be hard to differentiate.
