The Later Life Specialist Library's Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia Annual Evidence Update aims to provide healthcare professionals with a clear path to the most important recent evidence surrounding the five major types of dementias: Alzheimer's; Vascular dementia; Dementia with lewy bodies; Frontotemporal dementia; and mixed dementias.
The Dementia AEU provides bibliographies and clinical commentary on secondary research (systematic reviews, meta analyses and guidelines) from the last 14 months for the following topics: 1. Definitions, Diagnosis and screening; 2. Risk factors and aetiology; 3. Pharmacological treatments; 4. Non-pharmacological treatments; 5. Rehabilitation, practice and care standards; 6. Evidence on other Dementias.

My mom, now 88, is in the throws of dementia and it is hard to take some times. In addition, she still wants her gin and tonic every night. It's sad.
