    Texto eminentemente docente para el período de formación de grado y, sobre todo, para los residentes que van a especializarse en Neurología. Especialistas en otras disciplinas, como medicina interna, psiquiatría y neurocirugía, entre otras, pueden encontrar en este libro un libro de referencia y de consulta. Mantiene su estructura básica, con los primeros 14 capítulos destinados las bases del diagnóstico clínico, los fundamentos de las exploraciones complementarias, y los grandes síndromes o trastornos neurológicos. Las cefaleas, el dolor y los trastornos de la consciencia forman también parte de estos primeros capítulos. Los siguientes 15 capítulos se ocupan de las entidades nosológicas (enfermedades infecciosas o vasculares, epilepsias, las que cursan con movimientos anormales, los tumores, las enfermedades desmielinizantes o las neurodegenerativas que afectan a las motoneuronas, a los sistemas espinocerebelosos o las que culminan con deterioro cognitivo y demencia). Se cierra con tres capítulos dedicados a la neurogenética, los mecanismos de la neurodegeneración (en un capítulo nuevo) y la bioética en neurología. El texto ha sido revisado y actualizado con la adición de nuevas figuras, tablas y algoritmos de diagnóstico, y se ha puesto al día la bibliografía. El material online, además de contar también con nuevas figuras, tablas y algoritmos de diagnóstico, se ha ampliado con nuevos casos clínicos para el razonamiento del problema, más vídeos de semiología y preguntas de autoevaluación.

    • English
    Migraine Management, Volume 199 covers the effective treatment of migraines, including different subtypes of migraines in different patient populations. The classification and diagnostic criteria of common and uncommon subtypes of migraine is explored in detail, including childhood variants. An in-depth analysis of the pharmacology of acute and prophylactic agents is presented, along with an evidence-based review of pharmacologic management. This includes recently developed CGRP monoclonal antibodies and non-peptide small molecule CGRP antagonists. Advances in neuromodulatory treatments, both noninvasive and implantable are also critically reviewed.Finally, specific treatment-related issues in pregnancy and lactation and childhood as well as the elderly are covered. Issues related to the diagnosis and management of vestibular migraine and the co-morbid disorder of persistent postural-perceptual dizziness are also explored.
  • Handbook of Digital Technologies in Movement Disorders

    Handbook of Digital Technologies in Movement Disorders aims to unite these factors to provide a comprehensive guide to patient focused treatments for movement disorders. Sections cover an introduction to digital technologies, concepts, and terminologies, review various perspectives on technology in movement disorders, including patient and medical professionals, and present technologies used in detecting, measuring progression, and determining response to treatments. Additional chapters review the technology used in various treatments of movement disorders, including assistive and robotic technologies. Finally, the last section examines the challenges with technology, including privacy and other ethical issues. Over the past few years, there have been fundamental changes in the diagnosing and treating patients with chronic diseases, significantly affecting management of neurological movement disorders. In addition, the health and fitness sector developed several devices to better classify, track, and potentially treat chronic diseases. Both handling and interpreting these large datasets has been revolutionized, by machine and deep learning approaches, leading to new and more effective therapies, resulting in longer survival rates.

    • English
    **Selected for 2025 Doody’s Core Titles® in Neurology**Succinct yet comprehensive, Aminoff's Diagnosis of Neuromuscular Disorders, 4th Edition, provides expert information and guidance on the clinical, electrodiagnostic, and imaging aspects of neuromuscular disorders. Fully updated, it reflects important advances in the field, including an improved understanding of the molecular and genetic basis of neuromuscular disease, an expanded use of next-generation genetic testing, refinements in electrodiagnosis, and the use of ultrasound imaging techniques to evaluate the peripheral nervous system. In-depth discussions of disease states, as well as the evidence supporting the use of electrodiagnostic and imaging techniques, moves this reference from simply answering the question “How?” to also answering “Why?”
  • Anatomy of Neuropsychiatry

    The New Anatomy of the Basal Forebrain and Its Implications for Neuropsychiatric Illness
    • 2nd Edition
    • December 2, 2023
    • Daniel S. Zahm
    • English
    **Selected for Doody’s Core Titles® 2024 in Psychiatry**Anatomy of Neuropsychiatry: The New Anatomy of the Basal Forebrain and Its Implications for Neuropsychiatric Illness, Second Edition, builds upon reprised classic chapters by Lennart Heimer and Gary Van Hoesen describing the cortical and subcortical structure and functional involvements of several functional–anatomica... macrosystems in the human forebrain, the existence of which obviates the vaunted heuristic value of the “limbic system” concept in the study of motivation and emotion. New narrative brings in important historical, philosophical, and histotechnical contexts, integration with novel technologies (e.g., optogenetics) and structures (e.g., rostromedial tegmental nucleus), a deeper dive into the interactions of forebrain and prospective cerebellar macrosystems with the reticular core of the brain, and current viewpoints on the essential role of macrosystems in motion, motivation, emotion, cognition, and neuropsychiatric well-being.
