Dementia is a devastating diagnosis for patients
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 carers.
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. Dr Quinn has
assembled a team of expert neurologists and gerontologists to provide
the foundation knowledge you need to develop the clinical wisdom for
effective dementia care. Dementia clearly explains the diagnosis, investigations and management for
- Normal pressure hydrocephalus
- Mild cognitive impairment
- Alzheimer’s disease
- Vascular dementia
- Dementia with Lewy bodies
- Fronto-temporal dementia
Clinical in approach, practical in execution, Dementia helps you diagnose and treat your patients more effectively.
