In these proceedings of the 6th Congress of the European Committee for Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis three main aspects of the disease are presented and discussed. Early diagnosis: Growing experience in early diagnostic methods raises several problems. When and to what extent should investigations be performed? And should the diagnostic results be revealed to the patient in full detail? Symptomatic treatment: Despite the scarcity of new developments many hospitals neglect the principles of symptomatic treatment or consider them as less important. A review of the basic symptomatic therapy is given. New developments: Therapies under examination (Corticosteroids, Azathioprine and Cyclophosphamide) or experimental therapies (Mitoxantrone) are described and discussed. Vaccination with T-cell receptor epitopes are presented in animals and human experimental settings. The congress contributions reflect research activities in all the major fields of MS. The book is also of considerable interest for neurologists and physicians actively involved in the treatment of MS patients.
Scientists have speculated as to the nature of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) - "the third circulation" or "vital spirit" for centuries. Just what is this mysterious bathing solution of the central nervous system? Is it a vehicle of transport for an "animal spirit" directing all our activities, as thought by Galen (Singer, 1956) or but a "modified tap water" (Halliburton, 1917)? With the advent of lumbar puncture, cerebrospinal fluid has become a readily available and important means of studying disease affecting the nervous system. In recent years, many sophisticated tools including com puter guided gas chromatography/mass spectrometry and high performance liquid chromatography have made it possible to identify and quantify many constituents of this fluid. The CSF has an enormous, though largely "untapped", potential in aiding diagnosis and evaluating treatment of many neurological, psychiatric and systemic disorders. As the ependyma is only a diffusional barrier between the CSF and extracellular fluid of the brain for many compounds, changes in the concentration of these compounds in the CSF may reflect disease processes in the brain.

The Handbook of Clinical Neurology Vol 102: Neuro-Ophthalmology provides a comprehensive discussion of the field of neuro-ophthalmology. The book is organized into four sections. Section 1 lays out fundamental concepts of the visual system and eye movements. It discusses the anatomy and physiology of the afferent visual system and the ocular motor system, and the neuro-ophthalmological examination. Section 2 deals with disorders of the afferent visual system, covering retinal disorders; abnormalities of the optic disc; lesions of the optic nerve; the optic chiasm; disorders of the optic tract, radiation, and occipital lobe; disorders of higher visual processing; and rehabilitative techniques...
