Autoimmune Neurology
Author:
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0444634460
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 569
Book Description
Autoimmune Neurology presents the latest information on autoimmune neurologic disease, the immune response to the body where organs run wild, causing the immune system to attack itself. Autoimmunity is a main element in numerous nervous system diseases and can target any structure within the central or peripheral nervous system. Over the past 20 years, significant advances in our understanding of the pathophysiology of autoimmune disorders, including the use of biomarkers has led to new diagnosis and treatment options. Neurologic conditions associated with autoimmune reactions include dementia, neuromuscular disease, epilepsy, sleep disorders, diabetes, and other common neurologic disorders and disease. This current tutorial-reference will be a must-have title for clinical neurologists, research neurologists, neuroscientists, and any medical professional working with autoimmune disease and disorders. - Includes comprehensive coverage of autoimmune neurology - Details the latest techniques for the study, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases and disorders, including dementia, neuromuscular disease, epilepsy, and sleep disorders - Presents a focused reference for clinical practitioners and the clinical neurology and neurology research communities

The End of Alzheimer's
Author: Thomas J. Lewis
Publisher: Academic Press
ISBN: 0128121130
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 484
Book Description
The End of Alzheimer's: The Brain and Beyond, Second Edition is the first comprehensive overview on the molecular basis of Alzheimer's outside of the brain, merging the most recent findings within the field into a single book. It aims to educate the reader on the many overlooked aspects of Alzheimer's disease that occur outside the brain. This book uniquely provides step-by-step, peer-reviewed evidence that the current research model may be misguided and that a new and emerging model is more accurate. It carefully outlines the molecular research in Alzheimer's outside the brain and argues that a more thorough, whole-body diagnosis will provide better answers about its causes and lead to new treatments. It is beneficial to researchers who need to be apprised of the emerging science on the causes of Alzheimer's, and will hopefully redirect many into new avenues of cellular research and discovery. - Comprehensive literature-based summary of the current state of molecular Alzheimer's disease research - Details the shortcomings of the prevailing model and therapeutics in development - Reviews blood-based biomarkers for Alzheimer's and their link to amyloid- and Tau-independent causes outside the brain - Describes the tissues outside the brain impacted by Alzheimer's and the underlying molecular causes - Explains the whole-body risks associated with Alzheimer's, along with concomitant measures to slow or prevent the disease - Provides a protocol to properly research, evaluate, measure, diagnose, and potentially treat Alzheimer's patients

Inflammatory Diseases of the Central Nervous System
Author: Trevor Kilpatrick
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521888745
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 282
Book Description
Interactions between the immune and nervous systems are involved in many disease processes. Modulation of inflammation can provide an important opportunity to enhance regeneration within the central nervous system. This authoritative book defines the key cellular players in mounting an inflammatory response and highlights critical factors in the target organ that influence the nature of that response and its capacity either to damage or protect the brain. Several key clinical areas are highlighted - particularly autoimmune diseases of the nervous system including multiple sclerosis, as well as microbiological and traumatic challenges; the book therefore provides both a summary of the basic science background as well as practical, clinical-friendly guidelines to management. The book will be of interest to a wide range of physicians, including neurologists, neurosurgeons, neurorehabilitationists, infectious disease physicians, and clinical neuroscientists, as well as neuroscientists and immunologists.
