Alternative Therapies For Epilepsy
"Written by three distinguished epileptologists with a long-standing interest in alternative therapies, this book provides an evidence-based consideration of the use of complementary and alternative (CAM) therapies in epilepsy care. Organized by problem, the authors review alternative approaches to epilepsy- related conditions to help physicians, healthcare professionals, CAM providers, and patients understand the options and safely integrate treatments that work into their regimens. The book begins with an overview of the therapies themselves, including herbal remedies, nutrition, alternative pharmacological therapies, physical treatments, and neurobehavioral approaches, and also discusses ...
Neurology of Cognitive and Behavioral Disorders
This reference text provides an insightful and unified synthesis of cognitive neuroscience and behavioral neurology. The strong clinical emphasis and outstanding illustrations will provide neurologists, psychiatrists, neuropsychologists, and psychologists with a solid foundation to the major neurobehavioral syndromes. With backgrounds in behavioral neurology, functional imaging and cognitive neuroscience, the two authors are in an ideal position to cover the anatomy, genetics, physiology, and cognitive neuroscience underlying these disorders. Their emphasis on therapy makes the book a "must read" for anyone who cares for patients with cognitive and behavioral disorders.
Complementary and Alternative Therapies for Epilepsy
Epilepsy is a difficult illness to control; up to 35% of patients do not respond fully to traditional medical treatments. For this reason, many sufferers choose to rely on or incorporate complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) into their treatment regimens. Written for physicians, knowledgeable laypersons, and other professionals, Complementary and Alternative Therapies for Epilepsy bridges the worlds of traditional medicine and CAM to foster a broader perspective of healthcare for patients. The book respects cultural differences that may incorporate alternative medicine into a medical management program, and encourages patients to safely continue receiving necessary medical treatments....

Epilepsy and Alzheimer’s disease: shared pathology, clinical presentations, and targets for treatment
Emerging data suggest a link between Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and epilepsy. AD and other dementias pose increased risk for seizures, with seizure incidence in AD up to ten times greater than in age-matched controls. Mouse models of AD also demonstrate seizures and abnormal spikes or sharp wave discharges (“interictal epileptiform discharges” [IEDs]) on electroencephalography (EEG). Seizures and IEDs may underlie fluctuating cognitive abilities in AD, with the impact of antiseizure medication (ASM) requiring further investigation. Many epilepsy patients have memory and other cognitive deficits, due to multiple factors. Most adult-onset epilepsy occurs in people =60 years of age, and epi...
The Comprehensive Evaluation and Treatment of Epilepsy
Epilepsy is, after headache, the second most common neurological disorder. This book clarifies the many courses of action to take in treating patients with epilepsy. It presents current knowledge about seizures and epilepsy in a comprehensive, socially conscious, and clear manner. The editors have provided this information in a comprehensive, easy-to-use, and practical form. This short, simple pedagogical guide to the diagnosis and management of epilepsy is an important reference work for all medical schools, hospitals, clinics, and primary care centers. - This book integrates the latest research into essential reviews on: - Initial management of patients with seizures - Neuroradiological evaluation of epilepsy - Psychosocial aspects of epilepsy - Neuropsychologic problems associated with epilepsy - Psychiatric disorders - Diagnosis and treatment of status epilepticus - Nonepileptic seizures - Ambulatory EEG monitoring - Epilepsy surgery - Endocrine aspects of partial seizures - Epilepsy in the elderly
The Resident's Neurology Book
A comprehensive guide for residents and medical students beginning to learn neurology, which groups common disorders by patient presentation so that information can be found without knowing the diagnosis. Includes diagnostic algorithms for critical disorders and highlights the features of a comprehensive neurologic examination, including laboratory evaluation and neuroimaging. Major neuroanatomic structures and pathways are illustrated to provide a convenient reference. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
Epilepsy
Epilepsy is a disease of the brain that causes recurrent unprovoked seizures. Several causes exist, including head trauma, stroke, brain tumor, and brain infection. Other causes include drug effects or intoxication, genetics, and metabolic disturbances. This guidebook provides essential information on Epilepsy, but also serves as a historical survey, by providing information on the controversies surrounding its causes, and first-person narratives by people coping with Epilepsy. Patients, family members, or caregivers explain the condition from their own experience. The symptoms, causes, treatments, and potential cures are explained in detail. Essential to anyone trying to learn about diseases and conditions, the alternative treatments are explored. Each essay is carefully edited and presented with an introduction, so that they are accessible for student researchers and readers.
