Chorea
Chorea: Causes and Management provides a comprehensive and timely update for the wide variety of neurological conditions, both inherited and acquired, which result in this common hyperkinetic movement disorder. This book describes in detail the latest clinical and etiological information regarding chorea. Management strategies, pathophysiology, and associated medical and psychiatric problems associated with chorea are also addressed. The nineteen chapters are contributed by internationally-recognized authors working at the forefront of research in the specific disorders linked to chorea. Chorea: Causes and Management is aimed at an audience of neurologists, psychiatrists, neuropsychologists, specialists in medical genetics, clinical and basic researchers in neurosciences, and generalist clinical physicians with an interest in movement disorders.
The Interface of Neurology & Internal Medicine
This book is the first comprehensive reference on the interface between neurology and internal medicine. In 171 chapters organized by organ system, the book examines the neurologic manifestations of dozens of medical conditions, the neurologic effects of drugs, organ transplantation, and other treatments, and the medical comorbidities or complications—iatrogenic or otherwise—that neurologists must diagnose and treat in patients with neurologic disease. Most chapters are co-authored by a neurologist and a non-neurologic specialist. Each chapter presents information in an accessible format and includes a case vignette and the authors' recommendations for the case. A companion Website provides a multiple-choice question for each chapter and the fully searchable text, with case vignettes and recommendations linked.
Parkinson's Disease: Current and Future Therapeutics and Clinical Trials
This book emphasizes treatment options for Parkinson's disease, providing the necessary clinical and scientific basis for the foundations of solid therapeutics.
A Patient's Perspective on Spastic Tetraparesis Diagnosis
There are books that discuss all types of cerebral palsy and provide guidelines for families of those who have it, but they do not describe specifically the spastic tetraparesis diagnosis. They address the plegia type of diagnosis and not the paresis one, yet these are two different conditions. They are mostly written from a doctor’s or physiotherapist’s point of view, and not by the patients themselves. This book is different, as it is written by someone with personal experience of receiving this diagnosis. It gives an overview of how the diagnosis of spastic tetraparesis affects the body at each level (face, hands, abdomen, lower limbs), as well as the challenges the diagnosed person faces in daily life, and ways to overcome these challenges (tools to make dressing easier, different walking aids along with their drawbacks and benefits, ways to be independent in carrying out activities, among others). It also explores the relationship between disability and sexuality.
Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson's disease is no longer considered only a motor disorder. It has become evident that the pathological changes are broad, the progression seems to follow a pattern suggesting transynaptic transmission via templation of proteins in a prion-like fashion, and that these pathological changes usually antedate the motor symptoms by decades. This book emphasizes treatment options for Parkinson's disease, critically assessing pharmacologic and surgical interventions for all aspects of the disease. Evidence from randomized controlled clinical trials is highlighted to develop practical recommendations for clinical practice. Lessons learnt from clinical trials – and controversies and future challenges – are all addressed. Readers will find the necessary clinical and scientific foundations for the understanding of the disease, the underpinnings of the pathological processes, the identification of disease biomarkers, and the basis for solid therapeutics. Chapters are authored by an international team of specialists who bring their expertise to improving the management of this disease.
Neurología
La neurología es una especialidad en vertiginoso cambio, impulsado sobre todo por los avances en el diagnóstico por imágenes, los conocimientos de la biología molecular y los adelantos en la terapéutica. Estos hechos han modificado han modificado la confirmación diagnóstica de algunas patologías, la ubicación nosológica de ciertas enfermedades y el manejo terapéutico, basado en el concepto "tiempo es cerebro", para afecciones de alta prevalencia, como la enfermedad cerebrovascular. Entre los aspectos sobresalientes de esta nueva edición se encuentran: - - La revisión y actualización de todos los temas. - - El agregado de un capítulo dedicado a la rehabilitación, un área de la neurología de notable crecimiento en los últimos años. - - Los textos destacados que resaltan los conceptos más importantes de cada capítulo. - - La claridad y concisión del texto, y las excelentes ilustraciones que lo apoyan.
Vivir con Distoníae
La manifestación de la distonía es más frecuente de lo que se cree, caracterizado por contracciones musculares prolongadas que producen movimientos involuntarios lentos y repetitivos. Las causas son muy diversas, algunas tienen tratamientos específicos y, en la mayoría de los casos, es posible obtener una mejoría importante de los síntomas. En este libro se trata de contestar las preguntas más comunes para difundir el conocimiento de este cuadro en beneficio de los pacientes, que podrán así recibir tratamientos adecuados por parte de sus médicos.
