In the clinical neurosciences, decision-making becomes ever more complicated because of rapidly emerging new diagnostic tests and treatments and increasing demands from patients to participate in their management. This concise but wide-ranging handbook reviews the epidemiology of neurological disease and the treatment and prognosis of all major diseases of the nervous system. Part one offers essential guidance for clinicians to quantitative methods in research, including genetic epidemiology, decision analysis, meta-analysis, outcomes research and survival analysis, and thus provides a good understanding of the evidence underlying clinical management. The second part is devoted to individual neurological diseases, covering etiology, diagnosis, prognosis, interventions, and implications for clinical practice. With contributions from leading international authorities, this book is an invaluable guide to clinical decision-making for neurologists and others involved in the management of neurological disease.

This volume contains the proceedings of the 14th Colloque Medecine et Recher- che of the Fondation Ipsen pour la Recherche Therapeutique devoted to Alzhei- mer's disease. It was held in Paris on May 25, 1998 and dedicated to the epidemi- ological study of this dementia, a very important issue because the incidence and prevalence of Alzheimer's disease rise exponentially with age. Epidemiological findings not only confirm dementia as a major challenge for the coming years but also contribute defining risk factors, predicting and may be preventing this disease. All these issues have been tackled at the meeting in Paris and in the present book. Y. C. Contents The World-Wide Impact of Dementia. Projections of Prevalance and Costs R. Katzmann and P. J.
