      La collection « Elsevier Monographies » permet aux praticiens d’approfondir et d’actualiser leurs connaissances, en exposant les données fondamentales actuelles et leurs applications dans la pratique clinique.La maladie de Parkinson est, après la maladie d’Alzheimer, l’affection neurologique la plus répandue au sein de la population après 50 ans. Sa prévalence augmentant avec l’âge, surtout au-delà de 60 ans, on peut prévoir dès aujourd’hui qu’avec le vieillissement de la population, le nombre de patients ne cessera d’augmenter dans les années à venir.Modèle d’affection neurodégénérative, la maladie de Parkinson se manifeste de façon variable selon les patients et les stades d’évolution, bien au-delà des seuls troubles moteurs qui la caractérisent. Ces dernières années, la recherche a connu des avancées significatives, tant sur le plan de la compréhension des mécanismes physiopathologiques et génétiques que sur celui des stratégies diagnostiques et thérapeutiques.Cette cinquième édition, réalisée en collaboration avec les meilleurs spécialistes cliniciens et chercheurs francophones, propose une actualisation complète des connaissances, enrichie de neuf nouveaux chapitres. Cette nouvelle édition aborde ainsi des thématiques essentielles comme l’histoire et l’épidémiologie de la maladie, les innovations en électrophysiologie, la santé bucco-dentaire, les indications des injections de toxine botulique ou encore le rôle du pharmacien d’officine. De plus, une attention particulière a été portée à la démarche neuropalliative, aux dispositifs de soins à domicile et aux questions pratiques telles que le permis de conduire.Ce livre s’adresse aux praticiens et à tous les professionnels de santé, médicaux et paramédicaux, exerçant dans un service de neurologie ou concernés par la pathologie parkinsonienne : neurologues, internes préparant le diplôme d’études spécialisées de neurologie, neuropsychologues, psychiatres, rééducateurs, orthophonistes et kinésithérapeutes.PO...
