The era of therapeutic nihilism in dementia has ended, with the emergence of agents for symptomatic treatment, those that delay the course of the disease or prevent the onset of dementia, and new methods to manage symptoms. With the expansion of therapies, there is a clear danger of being overwhelmed by the volume of data. This book is designed to collect this information, distil what is relevant and reliable, and present it in a format that is useful to clinicians who manage and treat people with dementia. The book is designed to bring together the latest, best and practical evidence on all aspects of management, from diagnosis and therapy to social and ethical considerations. The editors are all dynamic clinicians involved in the care of patients with dementia and the evaluation of therapies. Two of the editors are the leaders of the Cochrane Collaboration for the examination of therapies for dementia. There are no other books that take such a practical and problem-oriented or approach to the diagnosis and management of dementia. Furthermore none but this can be described as truely evidence-based.Content: Chapter I.1 Introduction (pages 1-5): Nawab QizilbashChapter I.2 Finding the Evidence (pages 6-11): Nawab QizilbashChapter I.3 Critical Appraisal (pages 12-13): Nawab QizilbashChapter I.4 Evidence?based Etiology and Harm (pages 14-17): Nawab QizilbashChapter I.5 Evidence?based Diagnosis (pages 18-25): Nawab QizilbashChapter I.6 Evidence?based Prognosis (pages 26-30): Nawab QizilbashChapter I.7 Evidence?based Interventions (pages 31-41): Nawab QizilbashChapter I.8 Evidence?based Systematic Reviews and Meta?Analyses (pages 42-59): Nawab QizilbashChapter I.9 Evidence?based Guidelines (pages 60-63): Nawab QizilbashChapter I.10 Evidence?based Economic Evaluation (pages 64-70): Nawab QizilbashChapter I.11 Accessing and Using the Best Evidence Efficiently in Dementia (pages 71-73): Nawab QizilbashChapter I.12 Evidence?based Audit: Evaluating Implementation (pages 74-78): Nawab QizilbashChapter II.1 Introduction (pages 79-85): Helena ChuiChapter II.2 Practice Guidelines (pages 86-91): Helena ChuiChapter II.3 Reaching a Diagnosis of Dementia (pages 92-105): Helena Chui, Mary C.

Current Thoughts on Dementia: From Risk Factors to Therapeutic Interventions
English | 2022 | ISBN: 9811676054 | 639 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 37 MB
This informative book discusses the latest research on the risk factors and therapeutics in dementia. WHO calls dementia a public health priority. Dementia manifests as a group of symptoms associated with decline in memory or other thinking skills and is severe enough to reduce a person's ability to perform everyday activities. It occurs frequently among elderly people, but it is not necessarily part of the normal aging process. The book has been divided into two broad sections. The first section reviews the risk factors involved in developing dementia, including various medical conditions, lifestyle choices, as well as genetics. The latter section describes various therapeutic interventions in dementia. Although there is no known cure for dementia, this book underlines the current treatment strategies that could momentarily reduce the symptoms and improve the quality of life of the patients. This book highlights the global effort to find better ways to halt the progression of dementia and develop novel therapeutic strategies.

Dementia and Society

Dementia is increasingly being recognised as a public health priority and poses one of the largest challenges we face as a society. At the same time, there is a growing awareness that the quest for a cure for Alzheimer's disease and other causes of dementia needs to be complemented by efforts to improve the lives of people with dementia. To gain a better understanding of dementia and of how to organize dementia care, there is a need to bring together insights from many different disciplines. Filling this knowledge gap, this book provides an integrated view on dementia resulting from extensive discussions between world experts from different fields, including medicine, social psychology, nursing, economics and literary studies. Working towards a development of integrative policies focused on social inclusion and quality of life, Dementia and Society reminds the reader that a better future for persons with dementia is a collective responsibility.

There is a growing demand for healthcare personnel and professionals in the human and social services who have the knowledge and skills to meet the needs of this special population.Dementia and Memory: Introduction for Professionals in Health and Human Servicesaims to provide an introduction to dementia and memory disorders for professionals in public health, nursing, social work, gerontology, psychology, and beyond.
