Dementia is an increasingly common problem in an ageing population, and poses a serious public health burden with potentially grave social and financial implications. It is now possible following the recent advancements in specialist imaging techniques to demonstrate both structural and functional changes associated with dementia. This has not only allowed the diagnosis of dementia to be made with greater confidence and substantially earlier than previously, but also, crucially, the actual subtype of dementia can often now be accurately characterized, thus facilitating the earlier introduction of newer pharmacological treatment, where appropriate.

Dementia is a syndrome due to a disease of the brain, which is usually of a chronic or progressive nature. The key to the assessment of dementia is a full and comprehensive history and mental state examination from the patient, and a collateral history from a carer or next of kin. A number of other investigations can help to identify the type of dementia, which provides information on prognosis and management. The management of Alzheimer’s disease depends on the setting, and must always include an assessment of risk, and support for families and carers. As the general population ages, dementia will become an increasing priority for health and social services.

Key topics for doctors in their foundation years covering the aetiology, diagnosis and management of back pain are reviewed. Back pain is a common cause of pain and disability particularly in adults of working age. It is also a common cause for attendance at General Practitioners and a frequent reason given by employees for days of work. NICE estimate the cost associated with treating all types of back pain is more than £1000 million a year. A complex mixture of conditions can present with the symptom of back pain. At their most trivial they require only minimal treatment but at their most serious urgent investigation and surgical intervention are required to prevent severe disability. Most medical practitioners will encounter patients with back pain and will be required to diagnose common causes, manage symptoms and refer as appropriate. Balancing the need to detect treatable conditions and not miss serious spinal pathology against the complications and cost of over investigation requires a sound knowledge of how conditions present and good clinical skills. Some of the causes of serous spinal pathology are reviewed as well as some of the surgically treatable conditions. As some patients may choose to consult complementary practitioners a short review of different therapies that are used to treat back pain, and the available evidence for them is included.
