Book Description

A uniquely comprehensive account of the neuropathology of diseases causing dementia from a team of international experts. Sixteen fully cross-referenced chapters cover dementia-causing conditions and provide not only detailed step by step accounts to diagnosis but also advice on the all important differential diagnoses to consider. Each chapter is both practical and a vast factual resource, providing concise yet comprehensive accounts of the current clinical understanding of each disease including its aetiology and pathogenesis. The text is yet further enhanced by both careful referencing to original literature and extensive high quality illustration throughout. In addition to the focus on individual conditions, both introductory and appendix chapters cover more general practical issues involved in diagnosis and tissue studies including safety aspects, morphometry and tissue sources. This high quality essential reference is sure to be welcomed by a wide range of clinicians in the neurology and dementia fields, particularly neuropathologists and histopathologists for whom it will be an invaluable diagnostic aid.

Editorial Reviews

Review

‘It should undoubtedly be on the shelves of consultant hisopathologists in a teaching hospital, and sections of it will be of use to their trainees. It should also be of value to neurologists, especially senior trainees, and more particularly to neuroradiologists … I am delighted to have a copy and have already consulted it with more enthusiasm than I would have believed possible.’ Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine

‘This is certainly the most up-to-date book on the neuropathology of dementia and the most exhaustive that I have encountered and will become undoubtedly an essential reference work for all those with a serious interest in dementia and its causes … Overall the authors have produced what is very likely to become the leading text on the neuropathology of dementia … invaluable for practising neuropathologists and a treasured work of reference.’ International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry

‘… a timely guide … Esiri and Morris have succeeded in producing a book that is informative, entertaining to read and reasonably priced to boot. I agree with Sir Bernard Tomlinson’s comment in the foreword: this book deserves success.’ Brain

‘Professors Esiri and Morris have delivered a very creditable, comprehensive examination of dementia from the perspective of neuropathology … this publication is a ‘must have’ for every practising neuropathologist.’ M. N. H., Journal of Neuropathology and Experimental Neurology

‘The overall standard of the text is good and up-to-date … The layout is clear, well designed and easily accessible.’ Professor P. L. Lantos, Bulletin of the Royal College of Pathologists

‘ … a practical and extremely well-illustrated guide … The authors are to be congratulated on successfully producing a book that is well written, undoubtedly of practical use to pathologists and neuropathologists, yet contains a wealth of information for clinicians and researchers.’ The British Journal of Psychiatry

‘ … there is a need for such a book. The aim of this book is to provide assistance for general pathologists who may have to diagnose dementing conditions, and to contribute to the understanding of the pathogenetic mechanisms underlying neurodegeneration. I feel that the editors, with the help of an excellent team of authors, have achieved both aims. It is a textbook which could be a useful guide to histopathologists who find dementing conditions bewildering.’ P. L. Lantos Bulletin of the Royal College of Pathologists

‘… not simply a practical manual although it largely succeeds in that respect. It succeeds also in taking a common sense approach to issues which are controversial among neuropathologists … I concur with the view of Sir Bernard Tomlinson who remarks, in the Forward, that ‘the principal authors have, through their own clear accounts, their perceptive insight into pathologists’ needs, … produced a book which will be a most welcome addition, and perhaps a treasure, in many laboratories, clinical libraries and personal collections’. I am very pleased to have it and I recommend its purchase.’ John Xuereb, Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Psychiatry

‘… obviously a must for neuropathologists with an interest in dementia: highly desirable for clinicians with an interest; and a possible for departmental library.’ Advances in Clinical Neuroscience and Rehabilitation

‘… obviously a must for neuropathologists with an interest in dementia: highly desirable for clinicians with an interest’. ACNR
