This textbook provides a comprehensive monography on multiple system atrophy (MSA), a rare and fatal neurodegenerative disorder that presents with autonomic failure and either parkinsonism (MSA-P) or cerebellar ataxia (MSA-C).The underlying neuropathology of MSA is characterized by striatonigral degeneration (SND), olivopontocerebellar atrophy (OPCA) and unique oligodendroglial cytoplasmic alpha-synuclein inclusions. MSA is therefore classified among the alpha-synucleinopathies such as Parkinson`s disease, pure autonomic failure and dementia with Lewy bodies. Over the last decade there have been important advances in early diagnosis, pathogenesis research and clinical trial activity. The monography will cover the entire spectrum ranging from molecular and genetic work to symptomatic and interventional therapies. The book is written for movement disorder clinicians and basic neuroscientists interested in degenerative movement disorders.
First comprehensive textbook covering the clinical patterns of movement disorders occurring over a broad spectrum of systemic and neurologic conditions.
Parkinsonism beyond Parkinson's Disease, Volume 149, the latest release in the International Review of Neurobiology series, highlights new advances in the field, with this new volume presenting interesting chapters on a variety of topics, including How to approach a patient with parkinsonism – red flags for atypical parkinsonism, The 'classic' atypical parkinsonian disorders, Classification of atypical parkinsonism per pathology vs. phenotypes, Progressive supranuclear palsy, Corticobasal degeneration, Multiple system atrophy, Atypical parkinsonism in other sporadic and genetic neurodegenerative diseases, Sporadic 'Atypical' Parkinson's disease, and much more. - Provides the authority and expertise of leading contributors from an international board of authors - Presents the latest release in the International Review of Neurobiology series - Updated release includes the latest information on Parkinson's Disease
This book is a guide to the everyday clinical management of disorders of the autonomic nervous system, from identification of the key symptoms of autonomic involvement and comprehensive history taking to choice of treatment. The book will assist the reader in determining the anatomic distribution of the disease, as well as underlying autonomic syndromes, and in transforming the clinical picture into a coherent explanation of the patient’s autonomic problem. In addition, guidelines are provided on selection of the most appropriate autonomic and laboratory tests and formulation of appropriate non-pharmacological and pharmacological management strategies. With cases drawn from clinical experience and a list of available online resources, Bedside Approach to Autonomic Disorders will aid the reader in acquiring the skills that are mandatory in order to put patients on the right clinical track. It will be a valuable guide for trainees and young doctors interested in autonomic disorders from the fields of neurology, internal medicine, cardiology, diabetology, and urology.
Autonomic dysfunction is one of the most prevalent non-motor symptoms that occurs in Parkinson's disease. Autonomic Dysfunction in Parkinson's Disease provides up to date information on this important topic, which affects quality of life of these patients. This include a large number of domains: orthostatic hypotension, excessive sweating, dry eyes, constipation, weight loss, increased sensitivity to heat and cold, sexual dysfunction. - Provides comprehensive reviews on different topics of autonomic dysfunction in Parkinson's disease - Each chapter covers a specific autonomic symptom: classification, assessment, treatment - Presents the newest information on each autonomic symptom in Parkinson's disease
Primer on the Autonomic Nervous System, Fourth Edition provides a concise and accessible overview of autonomic neuroscience for students, scientists, and clinicians. The book's 142 chapters draw on the expertise of more than 215 basic scientists and clinicians who discuss key information on how the autonomic nervous system controls the body, particularly in response to stress. This new edition also focuses on the translational crossover between basic and clinical research. In addition to comprehensively covering all aspects of autonomic physiology and pathology, topics such as psychopharmacology decoding and modulating nerve function are also explored. - Provides concise and practical information on the autonomic nervous system - Discusses all aspects of autonomic physiology and pathology - Contains new content on psychopharmacology and modulating nerve function
Modern hayatın getirdiği stres ve bunun devamlı hal alması hormonları bozarak sık görülen ancak pek bilinmeyen kan şekerinde düşme ve tansiyonda düşmelerle seyreden bir duruma neden olur. Buna düşük şeker düşük tansiyon sendromu denir. Eğer sizde acıkma atakları, soğuk terleme, bulantı, konsantrasyon bozukluğu, baş dönmesi, enerji azlığı, kahve içme isteği, hızlı yemek yeme, ellerde titreme, baş ağrısı, gün boyu yorgunluk, uykusuzluk, gaz, çabuk öfkelenme, tuz ve şeker isteği, ayağa kalkınca baş dönmesi, kahvesiz duramama, duygu durum değişiklikleri ve yemek sonrası uyku basması oluyorsa şeker ve tansiyonunuzda düşme oluyor demektir. Bu kişilerde ayrıca panik atak, depresyon, huzursuzluk, alerji ve çabuk hastalanma sık görülür. Endokrinoloji ve metabolizma uzmanı Prof. Dr. Metin Özata bu kitapta sık görülen ancak çok az bilinen ‘’düşük şeker düşük tansiyon (Hipoglisemi Hipotansiyon) sendromu’’ nun nedenlerini, belirtilerini ve bu durumla nasıl mücadele etmeniz gerektiğini anlatıyor.
Introduction to Clinical Aspects of the Autonomic Nervous System: Sixth edition, Volume Two is an all-encompassing reference to the autonomic nervous system's function, dysfunction and pathology. This updated volume describes the role of the autonomic nervous system in circadian rhythms, sleep and wakefulness, aging, exercise, and its role in pain perception. Additional chapters focus on disorders causing autonomic dysfunction, including spinal cord injuries, autonomic neuropathies, trophic disorders, progressive autonomic failure, autonomic adaptations in space and hypoxia, and autonomic testing in the laboratory. This book will help readers become well-equipped to care for patients with au...
