Neurologic Channelopathies
Author:
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0323908217
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 294
Book Description
In the last 15 years, a combination of detailed clinical, genetic, molecular electrophysiological and immunological research has combined to result in a deep understanding of a subgroup of neurological diseases spanning the central and peripheral nervous system and which have become known collectively as the Neurological Channelopathies.Ion channels are critical membrane bound proteins that underpin many fundamental processes in the central and peripheral nervous system including action potential generation and propagation and the control of neurotransmitter release at all CNS synapses as well as at the neuromuscular junction. Ion channels are consequently essential for all motor actions, cognitive functions and sensory perceptions. Although it was originally considered that significant ion channel dysfunction would not be compatible with life, we now know this is often not the case, although severe disease can often be the result. Given the fundamental processes that are dependent on ion channel function, it is perhaps unsurprising that genetic or immunologically mediated ion channel dysfunction can result in almost any neurological symptom; patients may present to virtually any subspecialty within both adult and child neurology. The advances that have been made here have not only increased knowledge about the fundamental molecular mechanisms at play, but have also improved our ability to both diagnose and treat many of these disorders in clinical practice. Given these major advances, it is now the right time to combine this knowledge into a single HCN volume dedicated to the Neurological Channelopathies.The book will begin with an introductory overview highlighting common mechanistic themes that cut across different CNS and PNS presentations but with potential for common treatment approaches. This initial chapter considers the classification, genetics, and fundamental physiology of ion channels. Subsequent chapters present a detailed consideration of all genetic and immunological channelopathies. Each chapter will consider•Pathophysiological underpinnings - genetic or immunological•Clinical presentations•Diagnostic approach•Treatment and management - Identifies importance of ion channels to CNS & PNS function - Considers the classification, genetics, and physiology of ion channels - Presents all major immunological and genetic channelopathies - Provides clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of channelopathies

Neurological Disorders due to Systemic Disease

ISBN: 9781444335576
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Edited by Steven L Lewis, MD, Department of Neurological Sciences, Rush University Medical Center, Chicago, Illinois, USA How do you identify which neurologic syndromes occur due to systemic disease? Neurological problems commonly occur in the context of underlying systemic disease, and may even be the presenting symptom of a medical condition that has not yet been diagnosed. Consequently neurologists need to be aware when a neurological presentation might indicate an underlying systemic disorder. Neurological Disorders due to Systemic Disease provides the tools you need to make these connections. The unique neurologic presentation-based approach relates to the common clinical situations you encounter, including: Headache Stroke Movement disorders Neuromuscular disorders Encephalopathies, seizures, myelopathies, neuro-ophthalmologic and neuro-otologic disorders, sleep disorders, and others Major categories of systemic illness are explored for each presentation to guide you towards a likely cause. These include: Endocrine, electrolyte, and metabolic disorders Systemic autoimmune disorders Organ dysfunction and failure, and critical medical illness Systemic cancer and paraneoplastic disorders Systemic infectious disease Complications due to drugs and alcohol Vitamin and mineral deficiencies Written by a leading cast of experts, with a practical approach including ‘things to remember’ for each presentation, Neurological Disorders due to Systemic Disease should be on every neurologist’s desk.

Thermoregulation Part II
Author:
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0444640754
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 452
Book Description
Thermoregulation, Part II: From Basic Neuroscience to Clinical Neurology, Volume 155, not only reviews how body temperature regulation changes in neurological diseases, but also how this aspect affects the course and outcomes of each disease. Other sections of the volume review three therapeutic approaches that are aimed at manipulating body temperature, including induced hypothermia, induced hyperthermia and antipyretic therapy. The book is comprised of nine sections across two volumes, five dealing with the basic aspects of body temperature regulation and four dealing with the clinical aspects. Basic sections cover the Thermoregulation system, Thermoreceptors, Thermoeffectors, Neural pathways, and Thermoregulation as a homeostatic function. In addition, the book covers the physiology and neuroanatomy of the thermoregulation system and provides descriptions of how the regulation of body temperature intervenes with other physiological functions (such as sleep, osmoregulation, and immunity), stress, exercise and aging. Basic sections serve as an introduction to the four clinical sections: Body Temperature, Clinical Significance, Abnormal Body Temperature, Thermoregulation in Neurological Disease and Therapeutic Interventions. - Presents a clear, logical pathway from the fundamental physiology of thermoregulation, through neurobiology, to clinical applications and disease - Enables researchers and clinicians to better understand the value of temperature measurement in disease and the use of temperature as a therapy - Integrates content from a broad field of research, including topics on the molecular physiology of temperature receptors, to the management of accidental hypothermia

Pages : 720
Book Description
Neuroimaging, Part Two, a volume in The Handbook of Clinical Neurology series, illustrates how neuroimaging is rapidly expanding its reach and applications in clinical neurology. It is an ideal resource for anyone interested in the study of the nervous system, and is useful to both beginners in various related fields and to specialists who want to update or refresh their knowledge base on neuroimaging. This second volume covers imaging of the adult spine and peripheral nervous system, as well as pediatric neuroimaging. In addition, it provides an overview of the differential diagnosis of the most common imaging findings, such as ring enhancement on MRI, and a review of the indications for imaging in the most frequent neurological syndromes. The volume concludes with a review of neuroimaging in experimental animals and how it relates to neuropathology. It brings broad coverage of the topic using many color images to illustrate key points. Contributions from leading global experts are collated, providing the broadest view of neuroimaging as it currently stands. For a number of neurological disorders, imaging is not only critical for diagnosis, but also for monitoring the effect of therapies, with the entire field moving from curing diseases to preventing them. Most of the information contained in this volume reflects the newness of this approach, pointing to the new horizon in the study of neurological disorders. - Provides a relevant description of the technologies used in neuroimaging, such as computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, positron emission tomography, and several others - Discusses the application of these techniques to the study of brain and spinal cord disease - Explores the indications for the use of these techniques in various syndromes
