The second title in the 'Clinician's Desk Reference' series, designed as concise up-to-date volumes on key conditions for physicians in the hospital setting and in primary care, and for many professionals allied to medicine. Coverage ranges from incidence, diagnosis, investigation, drug treatments, non-motor features of Parkinson's Disease, assessment scales and surgical intervention, to the role of nurses, physio- and occupational therapists, speech/language pathologists, dieticians, and to the use of complementary medicine. The book is illustrated by photos/imaging and by charts and tables. This easy-to-read book ably summarizes Parkinson's disease... highly recommended as a model of clarity Clinical Medicine Excellent diagrams, charts and tables presented in easily readable pastels... There are only two UK contributors but the content is relevant to the UK reader; particularly the well-summarised facts and figures chapter but also those dealing with clinical aspects and drug treatments... Notwithstanding the international dimensions to this book, it is indeed a concise, practical and useful resource. -- Peter Fletcher Age and Ageing 20100518Contents 1 Parkinson's disease facts and figures 2 Clinical diagnosis of Parkinsonism and tremor 3 Diagnostic testing and neuroimaging 4 Drug treatment 5 Non-Motor features of Parkinson's Disease 6 Motor and non-motor assessment scales in Parkinson's disease 7 Surgical therapy for Parkinson's Disease 8 The role of the nurse specialist in the management of Parkinson's disease 9 The role of the physiotherapist and occupational therapist 10 The role of the speech language pathologist 11 The role of the dietician 12 Complementary medicine and PD Index
