Case Reports In Neuromuscular Disorders And Peripheral Neuropathies Volume Iii 2023

This Research Topic aims to collect all the Case Reports submitted to the Neuromuscular Disorders and Peripheral Neuropathies section. All the Case Reports submitted to this collection will be personally assessed by a senior Associate Editor before the beginning of the peer-review process. Please make sure your article adheres to the following guidelines before submitting it.

'The Oxford Textbook of Neuromuscular Disorders' covers the scientific basis, clinical diagnosis, and treatment of neuromuscular disorders, with a particular focus on the most clinically relevant disorders

This book evaluates muscle and nerve biopsies. It creates a more analytical view of neuromuscular diseases in the light of clinical findings. Diseases that occur mostly in muscle or nerve tissue may show common clinical findings. Addressing these two issues together will make it easier to understand the diseases. Neuromuscular diseases, normal histology, embryology, and physiopathology of muscles and nerves are discussed with a main focus on differential diagnosis. The book also presents the most cost-effective and easiest-to-follow algorithms for the differential diagnosis of diseases.

Ideal for neurologists and other health care professionals who treat patients with neuromuscular diseases, Neuromuscular Case Studies, 2nd Edition, presents more than 100 cases of both common and rare neuromuscular disorders. Dr. Tulio E. Bertorini provides the latest tools and strategies for diagnosis and management that minimize disability and maximize quality of life for your patients, including up-to-date coverage of numerous recent advances in the field. Using a multidisciplinary approach, this practical text contains two parts: the first includes basic aspects of anatomy, physiology, diagnostic tests, and therapeutic strategies; the second describes specific cases and their diagnosis and management. Presents a multidisciplinary approach to the management and therapeutic treatment of the full range of neuromuscular disorders and resulting complications. Covers the latest advances in the field, including genetic causes of hereditary diseases, new autoimmune diseases, and promising new therapies such as antisense oligonucleotides, gene therapies, and immunotherapy. Includes the wide range of disorders that fall under each disease classification (e.g., the Motor Neuron Diseases chapter includes all forms of spinal atrophy, ALS, neuropathies and myopathies, as well as disorders of neuromuscular transmission). In turn, each disease section includes diagnosis and evaluation, treatment, outcome, and suggested readings. Uses a reader-friendly format that takes you step by step through the diagnosis and treatment of neuromuscular disorders, from the basic anatomy and physiology of the nerve and muscle through to clinical evaluation, diagnostic testing, and therapy. Reviews the etiologies, pathogenesis, differential diagnosis, and management of each disorder, helping you not only recognize its presentation, but also determine the best treatment plan. Arranges case studies and indexes both by complaint and by diagnosis. Features full-color clinical images and diagrams — along with numerous diagnosis tools, tables and treatment algorithms throughout — that make complex concepts easier to understand and apply. Shares the knowledge and experience of an expert in clinical neuromuscular care. Any additional digital ancillary content may publish up to 6 weeks following the publication date.

Fully updated and revised according to student feedback, the sixth edition of Mayo Clinic Medical Neurosciences: Organized by Neurologic System and Level provides a systematic approach to anatomy, physiology, and pathology of the nervous system inspired by the neurologist's approach to solving clinical problems. This volume has 4 sections: 1) an overview of the neurosciences necessary for understanding anatomical localization and pathophysiologic characterization of neurologic disorders; 2) an approach to localizing lesions in the 7 longitudinal systems of the nervous system; 3) an approach to localizing lesions in the 4 horizontal levels of the nervous system; and 4) a collection of clinical problems. This book provides the neuroscience framework to support the neurologist in a clinical setting and is also a great resource for neurology and psychiatry board certifications. This is the perfect guide for all medical students and neurology, psychiatry, and physical medicine residents at early stages of training. New to This Edition - A chapter devoted to multiple-choice questions for self-assessment - Discussion of emerging concepts in molecular, cellular, and system neurosciences - New chapters on emotion and consciousness systems - Incorporation of new discoveries in neuroimaging and an appendix for tables of medications commonly used to treat neurologic disorders

Neuro-Otology: a volume in the Handbook of Clinical Neurology series, provides a comprehensive translational reference on the disorders of the peripheral and central vestibular system. The volume is aimed at serving clinical neurologists who wish to know the most current established information related to dizziness and disequilibrium from a clinical, yet scholarly, perspective. This handbook sets the new standard for comprehensive multi-authored textbooks in the field of neuro-otology. The volume is divided into three sections, including basic aspects, diagnostic and therapeutic management, and neuro-otologic disorders. Internationally acclaimed chapter authors represent a broad spectrum of areas of expertise, chosen for their ability to write clearly and concisely with an eye toward a clinical audience. The Basic Aspects section is brief and covers the material in sufficient depth necessary for understanding later translational and clinical material. The Diagnostic and Therapeutic Management section covers all of the essential topics in the evaluation and treatment of patients with dizziness and disequilibrium. The section on Neuro-otologic Disorders is the largest portion of the volume and addresses every major diagnostic category in the field. Synthesizes widely dispersed information on the anatomy and physiology of neuro-otologic conditions into one comprehensive resource Features input from renowned international authors in basic science, otology, and neuroscience Presents the latest assessment of the techniques needed to diagnose and treat patients with dizziness, vertigo, and imbalance Provides the reader with an updated, in-depth review of the clinically relevant science and the clinical approach to those disorders of the peripheral and central vestibular system

Offering a concise, highly visual approach to the basic science and clinical pathology of the nervous system, this updated volume in The Netter Collection of Medical Illustrations (the CIBA "Green Books") contains unparalleled didactic illustrations reflecting the latest medical knowledge. Revised by Drs. Michael J. Aminoff, Scott L. Pomeroy, and Kerry H. Levin, Spinal Cord and Peripheral Motor and Sensory Systems, Part 2 of the Nervous System, Volume 7, integrates core concepts of anatomy, physiology, and other basic sciences with common clinical correlates across health, medical, and surgical disciplines. Classic Netter art, updated and new illustrations, and modern imaging continue to bring medical concepts to life and make this timeless work an essential resource for students, clinicians, and educators. Provides a highly visual overview of the anatomy, pathology, and major clinical syndromes of the nervous system, from cranial nerves and neuro-ophthalmology to spinal cord, neuropathies, autonomic nervous system, pain physiology, and neuromuscular disorders. Provides a concise overview of complex information by integrating anatomical and physiological concepts with clinical scenarios. Shares the experience and knowledge of Drs. Michael J. Aminoff, Scott L. Pomeroy, and Kerry H. Levin, and other experts at leading neurology centers. Compiles Dr. Frank H. Netter’s master medical artistry—an aesthetic tribute and source of inspiration for medical professionals for over half a century—along with new art in the Netter tradition for each of the major body systems, making this volume a powerful and memorable tool for building foundational knowledge and educating patients or staff. NEW! An eBook version is included with purchase.
