ISBN 978-953-176-880-1). It presents all poster presentations produced during 10 years, by various medical professionals at Hospital Vrapče and their external collaborators. It is the second book in a series and is edited by Prof. Ninoslav Mimica, MD, PhD and Prof. Vlado Jukić, MD, PhD.
This 1,143-page hardback book, in encyclopaedic format, is richly illustrated and delivers as many as 530 posters, divided into 10 chapters. Each poster has two pages dedicated to it, with one page being the poster in A4 format in its original design and the page opposite details all relevant information, such as where the abstract is published. The publishers are Medicinska naklada and Klinika za psihijatriju Vrapče from Zagreb, Croatia. It is interesting to note that the largest chapter, i.e. the one with the most posters (115 of them), is in the field of neurocognitive disorders.
In addition to Psychiatrists, contributors inlcude neurologists, neuroscientists, psychologists, social workers, nurses, social pedagogues, internists, family doctors, medical students, volunteers and many others. By comparing this book with the previous one that covered the period from 1978 to 2006, it is clear that there has been a significant increase in the interest of hospital specialists in the area of Alzheimer's and other dementias. There has also been an increased interest in participating in professional conferences, both domestic and foreign, related to this topic. The book is also available on DVD (ISBN 978-953-176-881-8), making it easier to search for authors and conferences.
