Fast Facts: Treatment Optimization of Motor Fluctuations in Parkinson's Disease
Although dopaminergic medication is the most effective treatment for patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD), its long-term use is associated with debilitating motor fluctuations. Patients may not spontaneously seek assistance when fluctuations develop, so strategies need to be put in place to identify and alleviate motor dysfunction. This concise resource will increase readers’ awareness of: • the different types of motor fluctuation, why they occur and how to recognize them • the drugs that can be added to levodopa to reduce fluctuations • advanced and emerging therapies that will help to improve outcomes. No two patients with PD are alike in their disease progression or response to treatment. This 'Fast Facts' title provides the information healthcare professionals need to provide effective individualized care that will improve their patients’ quality of life.

Fast Facts: Optimización del tratamiento de las fluctuaciones motoras en la enfermedad de Parkinson
Aunque la medicación dopaminérgica es el tratamiento más eficaz para los pacientes que padecen la enfermedad de Parkinson (EP), su uso prolongado está asociado con fluctuaciones motoras debilitantes. Es posible que los pacientes no busquen inmediatamente asistencia médica cuando aparecen las fluctuaciones, por eso es necesario implementar estrategias que permitan identificar y aliviar la disfunción motora. Este conciso recurso permitirá a los lectores conocer mejor: • los diferentes tipos de fluctuaciones motoras, por qué se producen y cómo reconocerlas • los fármacos que se pueden añadir a la levodopa para reducir las fluctuaciones • las terapias avanzadas y emergentes que ayudan a mejorar los resultados. No hay dos pacientes parkinsonianos con el mismo progreso de la enfermedad ni la misma respuesta al tratamiento. Esta obra Fast Facts proporciona a los profesionales de la salud la información que necesitan para ofrecer a sus pacientes una atención personalizada que mejore su calidad de vida.
Fast Facts: Ottimizzazione del trattamento delle fluttuazioni motorie nella malattia di Parkinson
Sebbene la terapia dopaminergica rappresenti la forma di trattamento più efficace per i pazienti con malattia di Parkinson (MP), l’uso a lungo termine di questi farmaci è associato a fluttuazioni motorie invalidanti. Poiché i pazienti potrebbero non richiedere spontaneamente assistenza quando si manifestano fluttuazioni, occorre adottare opportune strategie per identificare e alleviare la disfunzione motoria. Questo breve opuscolo intende sensibilizzare il lettore su quanto segue: • le diverse tipologie di fluttuazione motoria, il motivo per cui si manifestano e come riconoscerle • i farmaci eventualmente associabili alla levodopa per ridurre le fluttuazioni • terapie avanzate ed ...

Personalist Neuroethics: Practical Neuroethics. Volume 2
'Personalist Neuroethics: Practical Neuroethics. Volume 2' is the second volume by the author to address ethical questions in neuroscience. The first volume dealt primarily with theoretical issues, while the present volume delves into specific and concrete ethical dilemmas that arise in neuroscience research and practice. The topics covered include human dignity and neuroethics, neuroethical issues at the beginning of life (e.g. stem cell use in neuropsychiatric treatments), neuroethics and injured persons (e.g. brain injury and disorders of consciousness, brain-computer interface technology), neuroethics at the end of life (e.g. dementia care), the ethics of enhancement, and neuroethics as it impacts forensics and the justice system, the media, national security and warfare, and the rarely discussed topic of neuroethics and religion.
World Congress on Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering 2018
This book (vol. 3) presents the proceedings of the IUPESM World Congress on Biomedical Engineering and Medical Physics, a triennially organized joint meeting of medical physicists, biomedical engineers and adjoining health care professionals. Besides the purely scientific and technological topics, the 2018 Congress will also focus on other aspects of professional involvement in health care, such as education and training, accreditation and certification, health technology assessment and patient safety. The IUPESM meeting is an important forum for medical physicists and biomedical engineers in medicine and healthcare learn and share knowledge, and discuss the latest research outcomes and technological advancements as well as new ideas in both medical physics and biomedical engineering field.
The Neurobiology and Genetics of Gilles de la Tourette Syndrome: New Avenues Through Large-Scale Collaborative Projects
Gilles de la Tourette Syndrome (TS) is a common, albeit severely under-diagnosed, neuropsychiatric disorder that is caused by a complex genetic basis, interacting with environmental factors. High comorbidity rates with other neurodevelopmental disorders such as attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder and obsessive compulsive disorder raise the intriguing hypothesis of a shared etiological background. Abnormalities of corticostriatal-thalamic-cortical circuits (CSTC) and dysfunction of both dopamine and serotonin neurotransmitter systems are assumed to be associated with TS. Recently, multiple lines of evidence also point towards an important role of additional neurotransmitters such as hist...
