The book provides an authoritative source of knowledge about these problematic disorders. It bridges the gap between clinical recognition and the new molecular medicine. The editors, distinguished clinicians and geneticists, assembled an internationally renowned group of collaborators, many of them the experts who first described a particular disorder or established its present accepted definition. They have written a practical, comprehensive guide to the recognition, investigation and management of more than 60 recognised phakomatoses.
El Doctor Ignacio Pascual Castroviejo (1934- ) ha dedicado toda su vida profesional a la investigación y a la práctica de la Medicina; especialmente a la Neurología Pediátrica, publicando varios libros (algunos en Inglés) y más de 300 trabajos científicos en revistas de gran prestigio internacional, así como participando y dando conferencias en las principales reuniones y congresos internacionales. En este libro el doctor Pascual Castroviejo relata, desde su niñez hasta hoy, sus vivencias y anécdotas, así como su visión personal de la Medicina Social/Pública y Universitaria de España, así como de los actores principales que contribuyeron de una forma u otra a su desarrollo e innovación.
El síndrome de déficit de atención/hiperactividad (SDAHA) es la patología infanto-juvenil más frecuente y preocupante en el momento actual no sólo en el ámbito neuropsiquiátrico, sino de toda la Pediatría. Los problemas derivados de su padecimiento pueden tener repercusiones a nivel personal, familiar, escolar, laboral y social. Además pueden prolongarse durante la vida adulta. Estos problemas, bien estudiados, tratados y orientados pueden verse muy minimizados. Pero sin tratamiento y afrontamiento con realismo pueden tener grandes repercusiones a muchos niveles. En este libro, que constituye ya la cuarta edición, que aparece a los 10 años de la primera, se desarrollan cuantas fa...
First multi-year cumulation covers six years: 1965-70.
Este libro trata con todo lujo de detalles El síndrome de déficit de atención e hiperactividad (SDAHA) más conocido por su original nombre en inglés, attention deficit / hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Este síndrome no solo es muy frecuente, sino que empieza a ser muy conocido y temido. El SDAHA viene definido fundamentalmente por la presencia de tres trastornos: 1) déficit de atención, 2) impulsividad, y 3) hiperactividad. Con una lectura fácil y amena, el libro intenta aclararnos conceptos como su diagnóstico, las complicaciones que pueden surgir, tratamiento, etcI.

It is estimated that the functionally significant body of knowledge for a given medical specialty changes radically every 8 years. New special ties and "sub-specialization" are occurring at approximately an equal rate. Historically, established journals have not been able either to absorb this increase in publishable material or to extend their reader ship to the new specialists. International and national meetings, sympo sia and seminars, workshops, and newsletters successfully bring to the attention of physicians within developing specialties wh at is occur ring, but generally only in demonstration form without providing historical perspective, pathoanatomical correlates, or extensive disc...
This volume is the first comprehensive text and clinical reference on idiopathic myoclonic epilepsies of infancy, childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. The world’s foremost experts describe the phenotypes and subtypes of myoclonic epilepsies and the underlying molecular defects and summarize cutting-edge advances in molecular genetics that shed new light on the etiologies of these syndromes. The book offers clinicians much-needed assistance in recognizing and diagnosing idiopathic myoclonic epilepsies and selecting appropriate treatment. Each chapter includes diagnostic and treatment algorithms to guide practitioners in clinical decision making.
Causation is an aspect of epilepsy neglected in the scientific literature and in the conceptualization of epilepsy at a clinical and experimental level. It was to remedy this deficiency that this book was conceived. The book opens with a draft etiological classification that goes some way to filling the nosological void. The book is divided into four etiological categories: idiopathic, symptomatic, cryptogenic, and provoked epilepsies. Each chapter considers topics in a consistent fashion, dealing with the phenomenon of epilepsy in each etiology, including its epidemiology, clinical features and prognosis, and any specific aspects of treatment. The book is a comprehensive reference work, a catalogue of all important causes of epilepsy, and a clinical tool for all clinicians dealing with patients who have epilepsy. It is aimed at epileptologists and neurologists and provides a distillation of knowledge in a form that is helpful in the clinical setting.
Neurocutaneous Syndromes unify a group of rare neurological disorders in which the initial identification depends on simple visual disgnosis. They include a large group of neurological disorders which feature cutaneous and ocular lesions, brain malformations, central and peripheral brain tumours, mental retardation, seizures and psychiatric problems. In the last few years, our knowledge of neurocutaneous syndromes has increased substantially. The aim of this volume is to provide an updated developmental perspective on these multifaceted conditions and to review their major clinical features, in particular their embryological basis, clinical molecular genetics, diagnostic protocols and novel therapeutic approaches.
This volume deals with brain development malformations of the central nervous system, showcasing a unique approach that furthers research through systematic integration of exciting new developments from fields including molecular genetics, neuroimaging, and neuropathology. By integrating data and research from these disciplines, better conceptualization of the mechanisms of the developmental processes is achieved. Clinicians will find invaluable insights into complex issues, including midline hypoplasias, disorders of segmentation of the neural tube, and hamartomatous disorders of cellular lineage, amongst others. The clinical manifestations of central nervous system malformations are also d...
