Booknews
In light of pharmacological treatments now being available for the disease, specialists from neurology and psychiatry explain how to measure the outcomes of those treatments. They identify suitable assessment tools and consider the relative merits of each. The measures should be helpful to anyone engaged in Alzheimer's from physicians and pharmacists to suffers and carers. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
