Geriatric Neurology: Handbook of Clinical Neurology, cartea 167

Steven T. DeKosky, Sanjay Asthana
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 17 dec 2019
Geriatric Neurology, Volume 167, serves as an update on the basic biological and behavioral mechanisms underlying the aging process, with an emphasis on neurological aging and state-of-the-art reviews on our understanding of vascular, cognitive, neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases in the elderly. Developed with an eye to providing both the basic underpinnings of age-related changes and the clinical information necessary to aid in diagnostics and treatment, the book serves as a useful volume for students, basic and translational scientists, and practicing clinicians on how to understand and treat common neurological disorders in the elderly.


  • Reviews the foundations of geriatric neurology, including the fundamentals of age associated changes in molecular biology, altered pharmacokinetics and psychopharmacology that make drug therapy in the elderly different from younger patients
  • Contains major advances in our understanding of neurodegenerative diseases
  • Features contributions from world leaders in geriatric neurology–the broadest, most expert coverage available
