Advances in the study and understanding of myasthenia gravis have led to the need for the publication of this important new edition. The goal of Myasthenia Gravis and Related Disorders, Second Edition is identical to the first -- to provide the clinician and the scientist with a common resource for understanding this complex disorder. This new edition begins with discussions of neuromuscular junction structure and function and follows with updated chapters covering a wide range of topics, such as the acetylcholine receptor, clinical presentation, diagnostic evaluation, and treatment. Importantly, new supplemental chapters have been added; these discuss rigorous clinical assessments of patients for research trials and the epidemiology and genetics of myasthenia gravis. The discussion of the most challenging aspects of myasthenia gravis, its impact on patients' psychological make-up, has been expanded as well. Myasthenia Gravis and Related Disorders, Second Edition retains the "personal approach" of the authors regarding treatment and is a valuable resource for meeting the many and varied needs of patients with myasthenia gravis.

Thoroughly updated for its Eighth Edition, this highly praised volume of the House Officer Series is a succinct, symptom-oriented pocket guide to diagnosis, treatment, and management of common neurological disorders. Each chapter opens with a clinical case study and proceeds to classification of symptoms, history, physical examination, laboratory tests, differential diagnosis, diagnosis, treatment, and management. This edition includes a new glossary of neurological terms, a new chapter on evidence-based neurology, a revised, more thorough chapter on localization of neurological disease, updated illustrations, and current references. The author reviews the latest advances in therapeutics, particularly in movement disorders, stroke, neuroimmunology, brain tumor treatment, headache pharmacology, and epilepsy.

Il rapporto tra attività sportiva e patologie neurologiche comprende due aspetti: da un lato l'esercizio fisico può avere un ruolo nella terapia di supporto di alcune malattie neurologiche, oltre che nella prevenzione delle ricadute di patologie neuropsichiatriche. Dall'altro traumi e lesioni sono tra i principali rischi per la salute dello sportivo e, se non trattati con tempestività, possono essere fonte di successiva inabilità neurologica. Patologie neurologiche e attività fisica illustra quali sono gli sport da evitare e quelli consigliati per i pazienti che soffrono di alcune delle principali patologie neurologiche. Fornisce inoltre indicazioni sui principali rischi neurologici che possono insorgere in seguito a traumi.
