Diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer's disease: facets of the problem

Abstract

Parkinson's disease is a serious, widespread and largely paradoxical neurological disease which still has a lot of "white spots" for research. There is not yet a medication which could prevent death of brain cells and suppress progression of the disease. According to the head of neurology department of the Russian Medical Academy of Postgraduate Education, head of Center of Extrapyramidal Disorders, board member of the All-Russian Society of Neurologists, vice-president of the National Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society, member of the Executive Committee of the European Section of the International Movement Disorder Society, MD, Professor Oleg S. Levin, crucial to the success of treatment are early diagnosis and follow-up by a neurologist who specializes in extrapyramidal disorders.
