Abstract text:	It is estimated that dementia currently affects approximately 37 million people worldwide, with an estimated 775,200 cases in the United Kingdom (World Health Organisation World Health Reports, 2001; Alzheimerís Society Demography Policy Position, 2004). As the population ages these prevalence rates can be expected to increase substantially, especially in industrialised nations (Herbert et al., 2003). A diagnosis of dementia can have a devastating personal impact upon the lives of patients and their carers, and may also be associated with substantial financial costs; the total cost of Alzheimerís disease alone in the US for the year 2000 has been estimated to be US$1.75 billion (World Health Organisation, 2001). In this chapter we review recent advantages in the neuropsychological assessment and management of patients with dementia.

The Reprint Request service is currently unavailable. The webform interface is not passing on your requests despite saying it has. PDF's of articles are also not available unless specifically linked from the record under the link field. Open Access papers are accessible this way when available. We are not able to fulfill pdf requests due to copyright and contractual restrictions. Inclusion in the Bibliography does not mean that a copy is available, this is foremost a record of the unit's work. Papers marked 'In Press' have not been published so are not available. Books and tests are also not available for copying. These are commerical products and you will need to buy them, or indeed contact your local library service to get a copy. If a record is from a conference and does not show more than one page number then the record/abstract on the page is the complete record. These are mainly a record of participation in a conference, such as a poster or a talk. Some of these records represent literally nothing more than a line.
