Démence

Dementia comes in many forms that can be hard to differentiate. Arriving at an accurate diagnosis without subjecting an already wary patient to unnecessary tests requires clinical acumen. Identifying the correct dementia, and determining a probable prognosis, allows agreement on appropriate management and care with patients and their careers.

But how much testing is needed? What do the tests tell you? What management options are available?

Dementia provides a progressive approach to help you identify and manage the many forms of this complex and devastating disease.

Mild cognitive impairment
Alzheimer's disease
Vascular dementia

Clinical in approach, practical in execution, Dementia helps you diagnose and treat your patients more effectively.

Démence

Cet ouvrage propose un état actuel de la question, centré sur les aspects neuropsychologiques. Il aborde les nouveaux critères diagnostiques, l'apport de la neuro-imagerie, l'anamnèse des démences, les perspectives thérapeutiques, etc.
Cet ouvrage collectif, réunissant chercheurs et cliniciens, est le fruit d'un forum de la Société de Neuropsychologie de Langue Française.

L'évolution de la recherche, ces quinze dernières années, a bouleversé nos connaissances sur les maladies neurodégénératives. Le développement considérable des techniques d'imagerie cérébrale, l'avènement des biomarqueurs, et une connaissance de plus en plus fine de la neuropsychologie ont conduit à la nécessité d'actualiser les critères diagnostiques pour certaines de ces affections. La dernière version du Manuel diagnostique et statistique des troubles mentaux (DSM-5) propose elle aussi quelques nouveautés, en introduisant notamment le concept de trouble neurocognitif majeur ou léger repris dans ce volume.

Entre mises au point et remises en question, cet ouvrage aborde les aspects cliniques, neuropsychologiques, physiopathologiques et thérapeutiques des principales étiologies démentielles comme la maladie d'Alzheimer, mais également les démences cortico-sous-corticales, les dégénérescences lobaires fronto-temporales, ou encore les démences vasculaires.
