About this book

The book deeply focuses on the epidemiology, diagnostics, therapy and molecular basis of canine and feline dementia or cognitive dysfunction syndrome. The aim is to provide a broad overview of the current knowledge on canine and feline dementia. Experiences of clinicians are appropriately linked with current scientific knowledge in a readily comprehensible form. In the first three chapters we describe the clinical pictures of canine and feline dementia, discuss the medical causes of the disease and its phenotypic variability. In the 4th chapter we introduce the dog as an appropriate animal model for human Alzheimer’s disease progression. Then we shed light on the neuropathological hallmarks of canine and feline dementia.  For the first time we touch upon the modern diagnostic approaches based on the neuroproteomic technological progress. Last but not least, we address the current pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches for therapy and risk and protective factors of feline and canine dementia. The book addresses clinicians, researchers, university teachers and graduate students in veterinary neurology and medicine.

Reviews

“This book covers canine and feline dementia, spanning topics from clinical signs and differential diagnoses to the use of dogs as a natural model for Alzheimer's disease. … It provides university teachers and scientists with a review of the most up-to-date research on canine and feline dementia while highlighting areas of future research. … This book is a welcome addition to current literature and will serve as a helpful resource for veterinary behaviorists, neurologists, and general practitioners.” (Kelly C. Ballantyne, Doody's Book Reviews, January, 2018)

Aladar Madari is an asistent of professor at the University of veterinary medicine and pharmacy in Košice, Slovakia. He works as clinical researcher at Department of Internal Diseases in Small Animal Clinic. He received his Ph.D. degree in the internal medicine of small animals from the Small Animal Clinic, University of Veterinary Medicine and Pharmacy in Košice, Slovakia in 2012. He specialises in neurological disease in geriatric dogs and cats in relation to behavioral changes. He developed CADES (CAnine DEmentia Scale) for quick detection of behavioral changes in senior dogs. He is one of the pioneers of behavioral medicine for small animals in Slovakia.
