      Inherited White Matter Disorders and Their Mimics, Volume 204 discusses where imaging abnormalities and pathology lie predominantly in the CNS white matter. Many acquired causes, such as multiple sclerosis, are readily diagnosed and familiar to the majority of neurologists. However, less common acquired causes and genetic disorders (the leukodystrophies and genetic leukoencephalopathie... often present a diagnostic challenge. The evaluation of patients with White matter disorders (WMDs) has evolved enormously in recent decades, due to advances in genetics, radiology, and the development of treatments for specific disorders. This book brings together WMD research, spanning basic science, molecular genetics, and clinical and radiological phenotyping.This volume presents both common WMDs and rare disorders according to their presentations or pathophysiology. Chapters lay out the clinical and radiological presentation of the disorder, followed by genetics and diagnostics, and finally discussion of pathophysiology and treatment. Chapter contain imaging, clinical pearls to diagnosis, and reference tables for genotype-phenotype correlation. For diagnostic work-up, easy to read algorithms are presented as well as clear guidance on indications for treatment, where applicable.

      In the complex realm of our physiology, the vagus nerve stands as a silent orchestrator, influencing health and disease in ways that have long been underestimated. Vagus Nerve Stimulation delves into the profound significance of this 10th cranial nerve, tracing its course through the body and illuminating its role as a vital component of the parasympathetic nervous system.This comprehensive reference, contributed by leading experts at the forefront of medical science, unveils the groundbreaking field of vagus nerve stimulation—a non-invasive approach to harness the body's innate potential for health optimization, inflammation control, and disease modification. Contributed by leading experts in the field, this comprehensive volume serves as a compendium of current knowledge about stimulating the vagus nerve in many different disease states. This book starts with the foundational insights in Basic Science and Technical Considerations. From there, it continues to Neurologic Conditions, where chapters explore applications for epilepsy, cluster headaches, and concussions. Evolving Therapy for Neurologic Conditions introduces cutting-edge treatments for acute ischemic stroke, synaptic plasticity, and neurodegenerative disorders. The book extends into Psychiatric and Somatic Conditions, providing insights into anxiety, depression, addiction disorders, and more.

      La survenue brutale d’un déficit neurologique oriente toujours vers la réalisation en urgence d’une imagerie du système nerveux central par scanner ou IRM. Cet examen est crucial pour la prise en charge thérapeutique du patient. Ce nouveau volume de la collection des « Syllabus de la SFR »(Société française de radiologie) et de la SFNR (Société française de neuroradiologie) propose ainsi un état de l’art de l’imagerie des urgences neuroradiologiques.C... ouvrage propose toute la sémiologie à connaître afin de pouvoir proposer la gamme diagnostique des urgences à rechercher. Il donne les clés pour privilégier la technique d’exploration la plus pertinente. Après un rappel des protocoles d’exploration en fonction des urgences, ou encore des éléments en vue de mieux comprendre la neuroradiologie interventionnelle, sont ainsi évoqués, entre autres, les accidents vasculaires cérébraux, les urgences traumatiques, infectieuses, métaboliques et toxiques, celles en fonction des régions (médullaire, orbitaire, etc.) ou en fonction des traitements sans oublier les spécificités pédiatriques, gériatriques et psychiatriques.Riche... illustré et complet, présenté de façon didactique et rédigé par les meilleurs experts en neuro-imagerie diagnostique et interventionnelle, cet ouvrage constitue la référence actuelle sur le sujet. Il est indispensable pour tous les radiologues confrontés aux urgences neuroradiologiques (vacations scanners ou IRM, permanence des soins, télémédecine) ainsi que pour les neurologues et neurochirurgiens qui prennent en charge ces patients.

      Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for Neurological Diseases (HSCT), Volume 201 provides the latest information on what has been evaluated as a possible therapeutic tool in severe autoimmune diseases for the last 20 years. In the neurological field, HSCT has been widely investigated for the treatment of multiple sclerosis and evidence is accumulating about its potential use in neuromyelitis optica, stiff person syndrome, myasthenia gravis, and many immune neuropathies. Besides their strong clinical relevance, studies on HSCT in neurological diseases have contributed to new insights on the pathological mechanisms underlying CNS autoimmunity, hence this volume summarizes that research.
