Download or read book An Atlas of Alzheimer s Disease written by M.J. de Leon and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1999-10-15 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the general population ages, the number of elderly patients with mild to severe cognitive impairments can be expected to increase. Improved recognition of the risks for future Alzheimer's Disease (AD), improved characterization of the natural history of AD, and the increased understanding of the neuropathy of AD will lead to early diagnosis and to developing effective treatments. An Atlas of Alzheimer's Disease presents photographs, line drawings, charts, graphs, and text that identify heuristically useful stages of disease progression across behavioral, neuroimaging, and neuropathology research areas. The atlas closely examines the major pathological brain lesions in AD and provides an in-depth view of the neurofibrillary degeneration of AD and beta-amyloid deposits in the brain. It concisely covers current knowledge in the key areas of AD research, including clinical diagnostic features, and explores the clinical, anatomical, and pathological knowledge bases that have shaped our understanding of AD. With its exceptional illustrations and contributions from leading research groups, An Atlas of Alzheimer's Disease provides a deeper understanding of the disease and the importance of early diagnosis and management.

Download or read book Atlas of Biomarkers for Alzheimer s Disease written by Manuel Menéndez González and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-07-07 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A lot of research on biomarkers for Alzheimer is being done in the last few decades. The aim of these studies is to find some method to ease the diagnosis of Alzheimers as early as possible. Such methods are a range of blood or CSF tests on one hand and several types of neuroimaging scans on the other. Many of the images coming both from laboratory and neuroimaging are very visual and illustrative. These images, accompanied by a short description, can perfectly explain the main results and usefulness of every biomarker. The objective of this book would be to summarize the most important studies made in this field. Few publications have systematically compiled results on this topic and only one as an atlas. Readers would be interested in this publication because it allows reviewing the current status of research by handily visualizing the results.

Book excerpt: This thoughtful new work begins by asking the question what is normal in cognitive and pathological ageing?' The clinician's experience of dementia and mild cognitive impairment suggests that these conditions present in a variety of forms and progress at different rates, with a spectrum of disability ranging from a barely perceptible loss of mental acuity to the severe debilitation of advanced Alzheimer's disease. This atlas utilises diagnostic imaging, histopathological findings, schematic diagrams and other graphics to illustrate the symptom profiles, etiology, and epidemiology of the more common dementias. The authors present comparisons of Alzheimer's and Lewy body disease, frontal temporal and vascular dementias and other dementing illnesses, to illustrate the problems inherent in distinguishing between them, and in making a diagnosis.

This book was released on 2011-04-14 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among all the clinical indications for which radiologists, nuclear medicine phy- cians, neurologists, neurosurgeons, psychiatrists (and others examining disorders of the brain) order and read brain PET scans, demand is greatest for those pertaining to dementia and related disorders. This demand is driven by the sheer prevalence of those conditions, coupled with the fact that the differential diagnosis for causes of cognitive impairment is wide and often difficult to distinguish clinically. The conceptual framework by which evaluation and management of dementia is guided has evolved considerably during the last decade. Although we still are far from having ideal tests or dramatic cures for any of the established causes of dementia, our options have expanded with respect to both the diagnostic and the- peutic tools now available. In the first chapter of this book, the contribution and limitations of different elements of the clinical examination for diagnosis of cog- tive symptoms are described, and the roles of structural and functional neuroim- ing in the clinical workup are given context.

Download or read book Human Brain Proteome written by and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2004-12-11 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Proteomics is a systematic approach for studying the identity and function of all proteins expressed in a cell, tissue or organ. New drug targets for diseases are often identified by comparing the proteome of the disease state to the normal state. As a result, proteomics has become increasingly important in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries as well as academics. This book contains five sections encompassing the research aspects of proteomics on the brain including the most recent advances in the technology and informatics. It discusses advances in high-throughput proteomic technologies and their application to studying neurological disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease, alcoholism, trauma/stroke, Huntington's disease, and Parkinson's disease. With numerous illustrations to explain the concepts, it provides a comprehensive review on the topic. * Describes the latest databases and techniques for analyzing the data generated by proteomics* Outlines the latest developments in proteomic methods* Provides numerous color illustrations highlighting the application of proteomics to the identification of novel drug targets and biomarkers
