<p>"It extensively covers clinical management aspects with many useful recommendations and should thus be very helpful to neurologists and geriatricians. Residents should have access to the book in their departments. After all, patients benefit from having 'nerdologists' as their physicians and neurologists tend to love good books – this is one of them." (<i>Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences</i>, 1 November 2012)</p> <p>"This book is a must read for anyone who regularly sees and manages PD patients." (<i>Doody's,</i> 23 March 2012)</p>

<b>Over 50% of Parkinson's patients suffer symptoms unrelated to the dopamine system</b> <p>The dopaminergic features of Parkinson's Disease are now well controlled in most patients. Clinicians are increasingly focused on non-dopaminergic symptoms, which can lead to disability and severely restricted quality of life in patients.</p> <p>In <i>Parkinson's Disease: Non-Motor and Non-Dopaminergic Features</i>, the world-class Editorial team has assembled a stellar roster of scientists and clinicians to present the clinical importance of non-dopaminergic pathology in Parkinson's Disease. Significant research is examined and its relevance to clinical practice, both now and in the future, is assessed. All major aspects of non-dopaminergic symptoms are covered including:</p> <ul> <li>Non-dopaminergic Pathology of Parkinson's Disease</li> <li>Pre-motor Parkinson's Disease</li> <li>Rating Scales for non-motor features of Parkinson's Disease</li> <li>Dementia</li> <li>Psychosis</li> <li>Sleep disturbance</li> <li>Autonomic dysfunction</li> <li>Gait and orthopedic complications</li> </ul> <p><i>Parkinson's Disease: Non-Motor and Non-Dopaminergic Features</i> provides the most scientifically rigorous and clinically pertinent analysis of the most important symptoms that trouble Parkinson's patients.</p>
