Rapid-Eye-Movement Sleep Behavior Disorder
This book describes a sleep disorder belonging to the category of parasomnias (i.e. the sleep behavioral and experiential disorders) characterized by abnormal vocal and motor behaviors in the context of vivid dreams and loss of the customary muscle atonia during the stage of sleep called REM sleep. REM-atonia - one of the defining features of REM sleep, along with rapid-eye-movements and a highly activated brain state - serves a protective function, preventing the dreamer from acting-out dreams and becoming injured. REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) was first described in 1986 by Schenck and colleagues; since then the understanding of the condition has increased exponentially, also pointing ...
Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson's Disease has traditionally been seen as a movement disorder, and diagnosed by the development of tremor. However, we are beginning to understand that the disease manifests itself in many ways, and that earlier diagnosis might be possible through non-tremor symptoms. This textbook aims to tell the full story of non-motor and non-dopaminergic features of Parkinson's Disease.
Insomnia in Neurological Diseases
Abstract: Insomnia is defined as difficulties of initiating and maintaining sleep, early awakening and poor subjective sleep quality despite adequate opportunity and circumstances for sleep with impairment of daytime performance. These components of insomnia - namely persistent sleep difficulties despite of adequate sleep opportunity resulting in daytime dysfunction - appear secondary or co-morbid to neurological diseases. Comorbid insomnia originates from neurodegenerative, inflammatory, traumatic or ischemic changes in sleep regulating brainstem and hypothalamic nuclei with consecutive changes of neurotransmitters. Symptoms of neurological disorders (i.e motor deficits), co-morbidities (i....

Neurogeriatrie
In diesem Buch werden die Funktionseinschränkungen des Alters beschrieben, die führend durch Erkrankungen des Nervensystems bedingt sind. Basierend auf der Internationalen Klassifikation der Funktionsfähigkeit, Behinderung und Gesundheit (ICF) werden die einzelnen Themen in Bezug auf Diagnose und Therapie dargestellt. Der Behandler wird so geschult, den Fokus der Arbeits- und Denkweise der Altersmedizin nicht primär auf die Grunderkrankung, sondern auf die Funktionseinbuße zu lenken und damit das Nutzen-Risiko-Verhältnis einer medizinischen Maßnahme sorgfältig abzuwägen
Medizinische Soziologie trifft Medizinische Pädagogik
Der Band stellt Forschungsergebnisse zu den Themen Krankheit und Gesundheit, Krankheitserlebens- und -bearbeitungsprozesse vor und verdeutlicht die Spannbreite dieser Auseinandersetzung über sehr unterschiedliche Fachdisziplinen hinweg. Die Erforschung dieser Phänomene in der Soziologie hat eine lange Tradition im Rahmen medizinsoziologischer Fragestellungen. Aufgrund der Dominanz der biomedizinischen Sichtweise führen diese Erkenntnisweisen jedoch ein (unbegründetes) Schattendasein. Der Begriff der Medizinischen Pädagogik ist innerhalb der Pflege durch den Begriff der Pflegepädagogik ersetzt worden, in der Medizin wird er unter Medical Education gehandelt und in der Pädagogik erst neu entdeckt.
