  • Immunotherapies for Neurologic Diseases

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 214
    • English
    Immunotherapies for Neurologic Diseases, Volume 214 explores how neuroimmunotherapies intervene by targeting key molecules and pathways responsible for tissue damage in the central and peripheral nervous systems. The book details approved treatments that modulate T-cell signaling, antigen presentation, B cells and their trophic factors, autoantibodies, Fc receptors, complement, cytokines, and cell adhesion molecules. Each chapter includes clear explanations and illustrations, helping clinicians understand the mechanisms of these drugs in autoimmune neurological diseases. The volume serves as a practical and comprehensive guide, making complex therapeutic approaches accessible to medical professionals and students.The second section highlights the latest therapies for major autoimmune neurological diseases, offering step-by-step algorithms and escalation strategies for selecting optimal treatments. Controversies and uncertainties in therapy choices are discussed by leading experts, while additional chapters address emerging immunotherapeutic approaches for neurodegenerative diseases and the evolving concept of treating autoimmune pain. The book also covers practical applications of traditional immunosuppressants, IVIg, and targeted monoclonal antibodies, with dedicated chapters on conditions such as encephalitis, NMOSD, multiple sclerosis, and stiff person syndrome.

  • Neuro-ophthalmological Pain

    Diagnosis and Treatment
    • 1st Edition

    • English
    Neuro-ophthalmologic... Pain: Diagnosis and Treatment is written to address the many problems faced by patients with ocular pain of neurological origin. These patients are often incorrectly referred to ophthalmologists and otolaryngologists to diagnose eye problems or sinus disease, respectively. While these ailments are neurological in nature, the average time between the onset of pain and a visit to a neurologist is 13 years. By this point, most patients have received at least one wrong diagnosis. Additionally, some patients have undergone several unnecessary investigative tests, received improper, flawed treatments, and continued to suffer. "Neuro-ophthalmologi... Pain: Research and Treatment" contains information on a multitude of often-overlooked ailments in a single, comprehensive volume, for use by the neurologist as well as general practitioners looking to guide their patients toward appropriate care. It will provide potentially life-changing information for those with ocular pain with decreased vision; ocular pain with ophthalmoplegia or ophthalmoparesis; ocular pain with papilledema; and ocular pain with autonomic manifestations Neuro-ophthalmologic... Pain: Research and Treatment is a powerful tool in helping physicians establish correct diagnoses, so that they may either provide proper treatment, or refer their patients to the correct medical specialists.
