Neurological Disorders Advances In Neurology

A neurological disorder is a condition of the nervous system that causes symptoms such as muscle weakness, loss of sensation, paralysis, poor coordination, seizures, altered levels of consciousness, confusion and pain. People with neurological disorders are susceptible to associated disability and suffering. The study, diagnosis and treatment of such disorders, fall within the scope of neurology and clinical neuropsychology. Neurological disorders may be classified based on the primary type of dysfunction involved, the primary location affected, or the primary cause. Brain disorders, spinal cord disorders, autonomic nervous system disorders, peripheral nervous system disorders, movement disorders, etc. are some of the categories in which neurological disorders are classified. Modern neurosurgery is guided by advanced neuroradiological imaging techniques. Open surgery, microsurgery, stereotaxy, endoscopic surgery, stereotactic radiosurgery, endovascular surgical neuroradiology, etc. are some of the techniques of neurosurgery. This book contains some path-breaking studies in diverse neurological disorders. It elucidates concepts and innovative models around prospective developments with respect to the diagnosis and management of such disorders. Students, researchers, experts and all associated with neurology will benefit alike from this book.

Mental, neurological, and substance use disorders are common, highly disabling, and associated with significant premature mortality. The impact of these disorders on the social and economic well-being of individuals, families, and societies is large, growing, and underestimated. Despite this burden, these disorders have been systematically neglected, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, with pitifully small contributions to scaling up cost-effective prevention and treatment strategies. Systematically compiling the substantial existing knowledge to address this inequity is the central goal of this volume. This evidence-base can help policy makers in resource-constrained settings as they prioritize programs and interventions to address these disorders.

A neurological disorder refers to a type of disorder that affects the nervous system. These disorders include multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease and other dementias, Parkinson's disease, brain tumors, epilepsy, neuroinfections, and cerebrovascular diseases. There are several signs and symptoms of these disorders, such as muscle weakness, seizures, loss of sensation, paralysis and poor coordination. Neurological disorders are diagnosed using a variety of medical techniques, including positron emission tomography (PET), electroencephalography (EEG), single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), computerized tomography (CT scan) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI scan). These medical technologies generate massive amounts of complex and high-dimensional data, which is a crucial source for planning therapies and treatments. Various advances in clinical practice and medical technologies are being developed, such as therapies with the potential to detect and treat Alzheimer's disease before its symptoms manifest, usage of stem cells for replacement therapy, and development of implantable wireless brain devices. This book unravels the recent studies on neurological disorders. It elucidates the advances in medical technology and clinical practice with respect to these disorders. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by this book.

Researchers have tried various effective treatments that prevent the progressive neurodegeneration of neurons within the brain. Parkinson’s disease (PD), Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and Multiple sclerosis (MS) are some of the most common neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs). Recent Advances in the Treatment of Neurodegenerative Disorders provides interesting updates on treatments of these neurological disorders. Ten chapters have been contributed by experts in pharmacology and give a unique perspective to reader on special topics in this area, including the treatment of neurodegenerative treatment of neurodegenerative disease through ayurveda and phytochemicals, the therapeutic role of vitamins in Parkinson’s disease, mushrooms in NDD treatment, MS treatment, ALS treatment and the use of nanoparticles and nano formulations in NDD treatment. This is an informative reference for pharmacologists, medicinal chemists and healthcare professionals (general practitioners and neurologists) seeking updates in the treatment of some common neurodegenerative disorders.
