Clinical Diagnosis and Management of Alzheimer's Disease PDF

Preface to Third Edition

There has been steady progress in our understanding of the natural history, prognostic factors and treatments for Alzheimer's disease since the first edition of this textbook was published in 1996. The authors are happy to share their knowledge with all interested readers who care for someone afflicted by this condition. The chapters deal with the full spectrum of populations at risk, persons in prodromal stages, and patients from mild to severe and even terminal stages. Quality of life for patients and families is paramount in our thoughts and hopes for the future.
