Alzheimer’s Disease Recent Findings in Pathophysiology, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Modalities


Free Download Alzheimer’s Disease: Recent Findings in Pathophysiology, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Modalities by Thimmaiah Govindaraju
English | January 12, 2022 | ISBN: 1839162309 | 694 pages | MOBI | 8.08 Mb
Alzheimer’s disease is an increasingly common form of dementia and despite rising interest in discovery of novel treatments and investigation into aetiology, there are no currently approved treatments that directly tackle the causes of the condition. Due to its multifactorial pathogenesis, current treatments are directed against symptoms and even precise diagnosis remains difficult as the majority of cases are diagnosed symptomatically and usually confirmed only by autopsy. Alzheimer’s Disease: Recent Findings in Pathophysiology, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Modalities provides a comprehensive overview from aetiology and neurochemistry to diagnosis, evaluation and management of Alzheimer’s disease, and latest therapeutic approaches. Intended to provide an introduction to all aspects of the disease and latest developments, this book is ideal for students, postgraduates and researchers in neurochemistry, neurological drug discovery and Alzheimer’s disease.

"An estimated 5 million Americans have Alzheimer’s disease. That number continues to grow – by 2050 the number of individuals with Alzheimer’s could range from 11.3 million to 16 million. Alzheimer’s disease is not a normal part of aging. It is a devastating disorder of the brain’s nerve cells that impairs memory, thinking, and behavior. Written for patients, their families, and caregivers, A Caregiver’s Guide to Alzheimer’s Disease: 300 Tips for Making Life Easier will help readers understand what is physically happening to the brain so they can empower their own special skills and talents throughout the disease process. The book is divided into three sections that correspond to the progression of Alzheimer’s and the unique challenges encountered at each stage.

English | 2024 | ISBN: 100943005X | 179 Pages | PDF | 8 MB
In 2006, Daniel Gibbs, author of A Tattoo on my Brain: A Neurologist’s Personal Battle against Alzheimer’s Disease (soon to be a documentary produced by MTV/Paramount+), first noticed symptoms which he now knows to have been early signs of his Alzheimer’s Disease. Daniel still writes every day, something he credits with keeping his mind sharper and his demons at bay. This book is a personal collection of essays written over the past two years that describe his own personal experiences, first treating patients with Alzheimer’s, and now living with the disease himself. The book presents an up-to-date discussion of recent advances and setbacks in Alzheimer’s research. Humane and hopeful, this book offers evidence-based information on how it may be possible even now to slow progression of the disease.
