Nearly 44 million people have Alzheimerâs or related dementia worldwide, according to the Alzheimerâs Disease International organization.
That number is expected to double every 20 years.
Unlike other books on the market, Alzheimer's Disease: Understanding Biomarkers, Big Data, and Therapy covers recent advancements in cognitive, clinical, neural, and therapeutic aspects of Alzheimerâs and other forms of dementia.
First, readers are introduced to cognitive and clinical studies, focusing on the different types of memory impairment, past and future thinking.
This includes the prevalence of depression, its relationship to other symptoms, and the quality of life for those with Alzheimerâs disease.
In addition, the book discusses recent studies on memory dysfunction in advanced-stage Alzheimerâs disease, in comparison to early-stage, including a chapter on the underlying factors in the transition from mild cognitive impairment to Alzheimerâs diagnosis.
Following this section, the book presents recent studies on the role of different cortical and subcortical structures in the development of various symptoms in Alzheimerâs disease, as well as different neural biomarkers underlying the development and treatment of the disease.
In the last section of the book, therapeutic aspects of Alzheimerâs disease, focusing on behavioral and pharmacological treatments of sleep disorders, memory problems, and depression, are reviewed.
The book aids readers in understanding the advances in research and care, making it a prime tool for all clinicians, psychologists, researchers, neurologists, and caregivers of dementia patients.
