Un veleno che cura. Storia, usi e abusi della tossina botulinica

Mauro Porta, Vittorio A. Sironi

editore: Carocci

pagine: 199

"La tossina botulinica ha influenzato la terapia neurologica come nessun altra sostanza" ha affermato recentemente Wolfang Jost, famoso neurologo tedesco. In effetti da quando è iniziato l'impiego in campo clinico - non più di qualche decennio fa - le sue applicazioni sono andate ampliandosi, non sempre in maniera controllata, sicché spesso l'uso si è trasformato in abuso. Soprattutto nel campo labile e controverso, tra cura e consumo, della medicina estetica e ancor maggiormente della "medicina cosmetica". Quest'ultima più che al benessere sanitario del malato mira a ottenere il "bellessere" estetico del consumatore. La storia della scoperta del botulismo e del germe che produce la neurotossina responsabile di questo letale evento, l'evoluzione delle tappe che hanno portato a comprenderne l'utilità terapeutica, un'esauriente rassegna scientifica degli impieghi attuali e futuri, un'articolata riflessione antropologica, sociale ed etica degli usi e degli eccessi di questa "moda curativa" emergono chiaramente dai contributi multidisciplinari presenti nel libro, indirizzato, oltre che agli specialisti, anche a tutte le persone che desiderano conoscere e approfondire i problemi aperti e controversi dell'ambito sanitario odierno.

A Practitioner's Guide to Prescribing Antiepileptics and Mood Stabilizers for Adults with Intellectual Disabilities

Jose de Leon

editore: Springer-Verlag New York Inc.

pagine: 538

Emotional, behavioral, and neuropsychiatric conditions are common in individuals with intellectual disabilities (IDs), most notably epilepsy, aggression, self-injurious behaviors, and bipolar and other mood disorders. Despite the prevalence of such problems, there is a scarcity in the literature of reliable information on medical treatments for those with IDs. A Practitioner's Guide to Prescribing Antiepileptics and Mood Stabilizers for Adults with Intellectual Disabilities provides a detailed framework for prescribing for this challenging population. Featuring the most up-to-date information on factors that inform prescribing, the Guide addresses basic issues and controversies (e.g., the rift between evidence-based and personalized medicine) in treating adults with cognitive deficits. Clients' specific needs are emphasized in developing appropriate and effective pharmacological intervention for improved outcomes and quality of life. Drugs discussed in the Guide include carbamazepine, clonazepam, diazepam, ethosuximide, felbamate, gabapentin, lacosamide, lamotrigine, levetiracetam, lithium, lorazepam, oxcarbazepine, phenobarbital, phenytoin, pregabalin, primidone, rufinamide, tiagabine, topiramate, valproate, and zonisamide. For each of these compounds, the guidelines cover: * Indications for use; relative and absolute contraindications.* Assessment during treatment; therapeutic drug monitoring; warning signs and symptoms for caretakers.* Dosage: administration; initial and maximum recommended dosage; modifications associated with drug-drug interactions, personal characteristics, and (where appropriate) genetic variations.* Adverse drug reactions: common, relatively uncommon, and potentially lethal, plus risk of metabolic syndrome.* Guidelines for discontinuation.* References, tables, and drug utilization reviews. A Practitioner's Guide to Prescribing Antiepileptics and Mood Stabilizers for Adults with Intellectual Disabilities is an indispensable decision-making reference for psychiatrists, neuropsychologists, psychopharmacologists, neurologists, internists, and clinical psychologists.

Drug Discovery for Nervous System Diseases

Franz F. Hefti

editore: John Wiley & Sons Inc

pagine: 320

The book focuses on drug discovery for psychiatric and neurological diseases, which is in a phase of explosive growth. Chapters are divided into two major sections. The first section presents fundamentals of drug discovery, highlighting the modern techniques and approaches of drug discovery in biotech and pharmaceutical companies. Specific aspects of brain diseases, such penetration of the blood-brain barrier, are addressed. The author pays particular attention to clinical proof-of-concept research. Discussion of drug discovery for the major nervous system diseases represents the second section of the book. Each chapter looks at a particular class of disease, beginning with a summary of current understanding of disease mechanism and treatment, followed by thorough discussion of novel targets and emerging drugs.

The Biochemical Basis of Neuropharmacology

Floyd E. Bloom, Jack R. Cooper
e altri

editore: Oxford University Press Inc

pagine: 416

Aside from the usual updating of material, the major change in this edition is an extensive re-writing of the chapter on memory and learning to emphasize that genes that are involved in behaviour are not immutable but their expression can be modified by transcription factors. Thus, with respect to learning, that old question about which is more important, nature or nuture, genetics or environment, should be answered with the question, which leg is more important for walking, the left or the right?
