    • English
    Febrile seizures are the most common seizures in infants and children worldwide, This fact provides strong impetus to study and understand them and their consequences, and consider their treatment. These topics were the focus of the first edition of this book. The 20 years since the publication of this first edition have witnessed an explosion of new information about febrile seizures, meriting this new edition. Key advances have been made in the genetics and neurobiological underpinnings of febrile seizures and especially the very long fever-related seizures called febrile status epilepticus. The role of neuroinflammatory factors in the emergence of these seizures and their consequences, the demonstration of unique clinical and neuroradiological aspects of febrile status epilepticus, and the prospect of predictive (bio)markers to identify and characterize cognitive and epilepsy outcomes are exciting and important. In this edition, the authors and editors tackle these developments in chapters addressing the questions of parents, physicians, allied health care professionals and basic and translational scientists.

  • Phenotyping of Human iPSC-derived Neurons

    Patient-Driven Research
    • 1st Edition
    • Elizabeth D. Buttermore
    • English
    Phenotyping of Human iPSC-derived Neurons: Patient-Driven Research examines the steps in a preclinical pipeline that utilizes iPSC-derived neuronal technology to better understand neurological disorders and identify novel therapeutics, also providing considerations and best practices. By presenting example projects that identify phenotypes and mechanisms relevant to autism spectrum disorder and epilepsy, this book allows readers to understand what considerations are important to assess at the start of project design. Sections address reproducibility issues and advances in technology at each stage of the pipeline and provide suggestions for improvement. From patient sample collection and proper controls to neuronal differentiation, phenotyping, screening, and considerations for moving to the clinic, these detailed descriptions of each stage of the pipeline will help everyone, regardless of stage in the pipeline. In recent years, drug discovery in the neurosciences has struggled to identify novel therapeutics for patients with varying indications, including epilepsy, chronic pain, and psychosis. Current treatment options for such patients are decades old and offer little relief with many side effects. One explanation for this lull in novel therapeutics is a lack of novel target identification for neurological disorders (and target identification requires exemplar preclinical data). To improve on the preclinical work that often relies on rodent modeling, the field has begun utilizing patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to differentiate neurons in vitro for preclinical characterization of neurological disease and target identification.

  • Neuroinflammation in Vascular Dementia

    • 1st Edition
    • Gary Rosenberg
    • English
    Neuroinflammation in Vascular Dementia describes the molecular mechanisms that drive this transition to mixed pathology, along with the newer lifestyle and pharmacological approaches that can reduce the incidence of dementia. The book describes the practical aspects of neuroimaging methods, along with novel neuroimaging methods, using MRI, that are becoming important clinically. The author also discusses how the diagnosis of dementias will be greatly aided by biomarkers from neuroimaging, blood and CSF biochemistry and neuropsychological testing in the future. This information will be used in precision medicine to design treatment strategies based on the most likely causes of the disease. Dementia research has undergone dramatic growth driven by current and projected increases in the aging of the population, and thus leading to a larger number of patients with dementia by 2050. Hence, advances in neuroimaging, brain chemistry, and genetics have accelerated our understanding of diseases that lead to cognitive decline.

  • L'Adulte avec un trouble dys-exécutif

    L'accompagner dans sa vie quotidienne, sociale et professionnelle
    • 1st Edition
    • Alain Moret
    • French
    Les recommandations pour la prise en charge du trouble dys-exécutif s’adressent à l’enfant, afin de faciliter son éducation et sa scolarité. Le trouble s’améliore parfois avec l’avancée en âge, mais il reste très présent à l’âge adulte. Se pose alors la question de l’autonomie au quotidien en termes de professionnalisation... d’insertion sociale et de citoyenneté pour laquelle l’entourage doit souvent développer ses propres outils car rien n’est formalisé pour accompagner l’adulte.L’ouvrage aborde les différentes situations rencontrées par l’adulte dys-exécutif, des plus anodines de la vie quotidienne aux plus personnelles ou aux plus décisives quant à son style de vie, et propose des solutions pratiques et des conseils d’adaptation ou d’aménagements pour y faire face.Plus que chez l’enfant, les stratégies proposées pour aider l’adulte dys-exécutif dans sa prise d’autonomie sont pensées pour ménager sa personnalité et son libre arbitre.La description des différentes situations intègre à la fois le vécu de l’adulte dys-exécutif et celui d’autrui, en mettant l’accent sur les quiproquos et des interprétations erronées en fonction du contexte qui peuvent générer incompréhension et perte d’estime de soi.L’ouvrage interroge chacun, qu’il soit parent ou professionnel, sur ce que signifie réellement l’inclusion dans un environnement qui n’a pas les clés pour appréhender correctement les interactions avec l’adulte dys-exécutif, la définition de son projet de vie et le respect de sa volonté.

    • French
    L’adolescence est une période unique de transformation de l’individu. Sur le plan somatique, psychique et social, le passage de l’enfance à l’âge adulte est aussi l’occasion de troubles spécifiques ou dont l’expression revêt des aspects particuliers. Ainsi, dans le domaine de la neurologie, cela se traduit par des prévalences plus élevées de certaines affections, ainsi qu’un retentissement singulier sur la personne. Les troubles neurologiques peuvent en effet compromettre les facultés essentielles à l’autonomisation de l’individu, et ont un impact sur l’image que donne l’ado à ses pairs.Sans équivalent, cet ouvrage se justifie donc par les particularités de la prise en charge, les troubles affectant les ados (adolescentes et adolescents) de façon très différente des enfants (qui s’en remettent aux adultes) et des adultes (plus autonomes et responsables dans leur prise en charge).Traitant à la fois des maladies dont les prévalences sont élevées et des affections plus rares, l’ouvrage aborde cette problématique dans toute sa spécificité, en ne négligeant aucune dimension particulière du diagnostic, du traitement et de la prise en charge globale du jeune patient. Chaque chapitre exposera successivement les spécificités à l’adolescence des données épidémiologiques et cliniques (mode de présentation, pièges diagnostiques), puis les principaux diagnostics rencontrés et proposera une prise en charge adaptée à cet âge. La question de la transition des troubles neurologiques de l’enfant à l’âge adulte et de l’accompagnement de l’ado dans sa vie scolaire et sociale sont également abordés.Cet ouvrage s’adresse aux neurologues, pédiatres et neuropédiatres, ainsi qu’aux étudiants déjà entrés dans la spécialité.POINTS CLÉS - Toutes les pathologies touchant les ados, des plus fréquentes aux plus rares - Les spécificités de la prise en charge de l’ado - L’accompagnement de l’ado et la transition vers l’âge adulte

    • English
    Prolonged microgravity exposure during long-duration spaceflight (LDSF) produces unusual physiologic and pathologic neuro-ophthalmic findings in astronauts. These microgravity-associa... findings collectively define the Spaceflight Associated Neuro-ocular Syndrome (SANS). In this book, the editors compare and contrast prior published work on SANS by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) Space Medicine Operations Division with retrospective and prospective studies from other research groups. The book describes the possible mechanisms and potential etiologies for SANS, and provides an update and review on the clinical manifestations of SANS including: unilateral and bilateral optic disc edema, globe flattening, choroidal and retinal folds, hyperopic refractive error shifts, and focal areas of ischemic retina (i.e., cotton wool spots). The ocular imaging findings (e.g., retinal nerve fiber layer, optic disc, and choroidal changes on optical coherence tomography) of SANS is also described, including the intraorbital and intracranial findings on orbital ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging. The knowledge gaps for in-flight and terrestrial human research including potential countermeasures for future stud is also explored, including reports on the in-flight and terrestrial human and animal research being investigated by NASA and its partners to study SANS both prospectively and longitudinally and in preparation for future long duration manned missions to space including the moon, the asteroid belt, or Mars. We think this is a unique topic and hope that NASA and its research partners continue to study SANS in preparation for future longer duration manned space missions.
