Apomorphine in Parkinson´s Disease

Apomorphine in Parkinson's Disease provides a thorough and comprehensive review of apomorphine, one of the oldest drugs still in clinical use that recently has received renewed attention due to its efficacy in the treatment of advanced Parkinson's disease.Apomorphine in Parkinson's Disease covers the history of the drug, its pharmacology and clinical use in Parkinson's disease, practical tips and recommendations for its use, as well as a discussion of health economic aspects of its use. The efficacy of apomorphine is also contrasted to that of other recent approaches to the treatment of advanced Parkinson's disease, most notably neurosurgical interventions.The primary audience of Apomorphine in Parkinson's Disease consists of physicians and nurses concerned with the management of patients suffering from advanced Parkinson's disease, but it will probably also be relevant for other health care professionals (including students and those practicing in related fields), researchers, teachers, administrators and decision makers with an interest in the field of Parkinson's disease and clinical neurology.Odin, Per is the author of 'Apomorphine in Parkinson´s Disease', published 2005 under ISBN 9783895998638 and ISBN 389599863X.
