| Summary: | This volume covers selected up-dated contributions from the Conference on Age-associated Neurological Diseases held in Vienna 1989. Fields covered include Age-associated Memory Impairment (AAMI) Alzheimer's and Parkinson's dieseases and dementias and movement disorders of other etiologies. Concerning dementia, some papers deal with diagnosis employing neuro-imaging methods - PET, SPECT, MRI and XCT, others by means of electro-physiological methods. An important aspect is the early preclinical diagnosis of dementia using neuro-psychological tests to enhance the chance of effective treatment. Finally, drugs now under clinical investigation are discussed and preliminary results for several compounds are presented. This volume with its up-to-date contributions will be of special interest to all physicians treating elderly persons with age-associated degenerative diseases. |
