Afficher les exemplaires de cette édition ISBNSevere Dementia is the first book to focus exclusively on severe dementia. It addresses both the clinical features of the disease and the social aspects of care. Introductory chapters on the differential diagnosis, neurochemistry and molecular pathology of severe dementia set the scene for the clinical discussion. Detailed clinical chapters on cognitive function, depression, physical effects, staging and function follow. All therapeutic interventions are then discussed, including memantine, anticholinesterases, neuroleptics and non–pharmacological treatment. The final chapters review the social and economic aspects of dementia care, including family involvement, person–centered care, palliative care, ethics and health economics.
Written and edited by experts in geriatric psychiatry and geriatrics, Severe Dementia is of value to all clinicians involved in the management of this complex and vulnerable group of patients. It is also of interest to general practitioners and carers in nursing homes.
Severe Dementia addresses the special challenges faced by clinicians managing the late stage of this illness. After a brief introduction to diagnosis and the underlying pathology, a comprehensive section covers clinical features, such as behavioural disturbances and physical effects. This is followed by the section on management, which addresses treatment options, both with drugs and non–pharmacologically, and health economics. It also deals with ethical and nursing issues regarding caring for people in the terminal stages of illness, palliative care and the role of the family.
Written and edited by an expert team of geriatric psychiatrists, Severe Dementia will be of value to all clinicians involved in the management of the complex and vulnerable group of patients. It will also be of interest to general practitioners and carers in nursing homes.
