Description

Alzheimer’s disease is a neurodegenerative disease which is considered to be the cause of most of the cases of dementia. It usually begins slowly and gradually worsens over time. Some of the main symptoms associated with Alzheimer’s disease include difficulty in remembering recent events, problems with language, mood swings and disorientation. In severe cases, with a decline in condition, the patient’s bodily functions are lost, ultimately leading to death. The cause of Alzheimer’s disease in most of the cases is found to be genetic. Cognitive tests, blood tests and medical imaging are some of the common tests used to diagnose Alzheimer’s disease. This book brings forth some of the most innovative concepts and elucidates the unexplored aspects of Alzheimer’s disease. From theories to research, case studies related to all contemporary topics of relevance to this disease have been included herein. Coherent flow of topics, student-friendly language and extensive use of examples make this book an invaluable source of knowledge.
