CPD Editorial (Sep/Oct 2009)
Abstract
As we move towards the end of 2009, this is the second to the last edition for the year. The CPD articles are diverse and cover interesting topics that I hope you will enjoy. The first article titled “Alzheimer’s disease in family practice” by OBW Greeff is a unique one as it deals with an important illness that affects the aged. It is estimated that 10-15% of those above 65 years suffer from some form of dementia and that senile dementia is more common in women than in men, especially in the less fertile women.
