Cambridge University Press Common Movement Disorders Pitfalls CaseBased
Book SynopsisVisual observation of patients is crucial in the diagnosis of movement disorders. Such observation can be subject to many pitfalls. The powerful lessons in this case-based book will help the reader appreciate diagnoses missed or wrongly attributed, movements difficult to characterize, tests inappropriately ordered or interpreted, and treatments incorrectly chosen or dosed. The wisdom of hindsight thus generated becomes an invaluable and enduring lesson. Organized in nine chapters according to the categories of errors and oversights, each case conveys a specific set of clinical pearls on diagnostic or therapeutic issues. The text is written in a coaching style, buttressed by the strong pedagogic wisdom of the authors. The 'hard questions' after each case are meant to steer the discussion straight into the pitfalls - and how they could have been avoided. Video segments on the accompanying CD-ROM are important complementary data, critical to a field so intimately dependent on phenomenologTrade Review“…A valuable tool for anyone studying for boards, thinking about a fellowship in movement disorders, or needing a review of the subtleties of both common and rare movement disorders. “ Doody's Review ServicesTable of ContentsPreface; 1.

Cambridge University Press Keynes Aidleys Nerve and Muscle
Book SynopsisThis well-established and acclaimed textbook introducing the rapidly growing field of nerve and muscle function has been completely revised and updated. Written with undergraduate students in mind, it begins with the fundamental principles demonstrated by the pioneering electrophysiological experiments on cell excitability. This leads to more challenging material recounting recent discoveries from applying modern biochemical, genetic, physiological and biophysical, experimental and mathematical analysis. The resulting interdisciplinary approach conveys a unified contemporary understanding of nerve and skeletal, cardiac and smooth muscle function at the molecular, cellular and systems levels. Emphasis on important strategic experiments throughout clarifies the basis for our current scientific views, highlights the excitement and challenge of biomedical discovery, and suggests directions for future advances. These fundamental ideas are then translated into discussions of related disease conditions and their clinical management. Now including colour illustrations, it is an invaluable text for students of physiology, neuroscience, cell biology and biophysics.Trade Review'Huang has taken on the mammoth task of bringing the book up-to-date and has succeeded in maintaining the enthusiastic and eminently readable approach of Keynes and Aidley, who created one of the greatest physiology books covering the crucial areas of nerve and muscle. The fascinating historical perspectives on the discovery of membrane potentials, the transmission of nerve impulses and their molecular basis are essential reading for students of medicine and physiology with a curiosity about scientific methods, and progress.' Michael A. Ferenczi, Imperial College London'...a beautifully written gem. It is clearly illustrated, and it makes one of the most difficult areas of biology completely accessible. It should find its way onto the bookshelves of electrophysiologists everywhere and any students who aspire to master one of the most exciting areas of modern biology.' Denis Noble, University of Oxford'This classic textbook on the fundamental biophysics and physiology of nerve and muscle remains an unparalleled source of knowledge that has served the scientific field for decades. Prof. Huang elegantly manages to update this edition with recent findings within this broad field continuing the excellence that characterizes this work.' Thomas Holm Pedersen, University of Aarhus, Denmark'Professor Christopher Huang has updated and significantly broadened the scope and the translational endpoints of the classical textbook of Integrative and Cell Physiology Keynes & Aidley's Nerve and Muscle. The result is a comprehensive, well planned, logically presented and extensively referenced monograph. Based on the text and supporting figures, it builds on the strengths of the parent textbook while also providing new in-depth coverage of recent advances in neurophysiology as well as skeletal and cardiac muscle electrophysiology and contractility. The internationally recognized research accomplishments of Professor Huang on key cell physiology mechanisms of the heart and skeletal muscle form the basis of very informative material concerning cardiac rhythm disturbances and some aspects of exercise physiology and aging. This textbook will serve as a valuable resource for undergraduates, graduate students, as well as both basic science and clinical faculty members in Life Sciences.'

This volume sets out the history of the relationship between neurology and music, putting the advances of our era into context.Trade Review“It provides an excellent introduction to some of the major ideas about music and the body. … Kennaway accomplishes much by asking his readers to engage with this material through the prism of music and the nerves, and this collection makes a valuable contribution to the growing body of historical studies focusing on music and neuroscience. The book will be of great interest to music scholars and historians of science, and will also appeal to neuroscientists and music cognition researchers.” (Carmel Raz, Social History of Medicine, Vol. 29 (3), August, 2016)"...interesting and thought-provoking" - Medical HistoryTable of Contents1.

Royal Society of Chemistry Emerging Drugs and Targets for Alzheimer's
Book SynopsisAlzheimer's disease is the most prevalent neurodegenerative disorder in the elderly. A recent study from the Bloomberg School of Public Health recently estimated that over 26 million people were living with the disease in 2006 and that the global prevalence of the disease will grow to 106 million by 2050. By that time, 43 per cent of those living with the disease will need high-level care, equivalent to that of a nursing home. However, even if modest advances in preventing or delaying the disease's progression were made, it could have a huge impact on global public health. According to this study, interventions that could delay the onset of the disease by as little as one year would reduce the prevalence of the disease by 12 million fewer cases in 2050. These figures reinforce how important it is to find an effective intervention for Alzheimer's disease. Emerging Drugs and Targets for Alzheimer's Disease collects some of the most outstanding examples of new drugs currently under pharmaceutical development or new targets in the validation process that will reach the Alzheimer's drug market over the next few years as disease modifying drugs. Written by a team of distinguished experts, these volumes are an essential resource for scientists in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries and academics working in the neurosciences field.Table of ContentsBeta-Amyloid as target; Chapter 1: The amyloid hypothesis of AD and prospects for therapeutics; Chapter 2: Targeting Alzheimer's ?-Secretase: Genetic and Chemical Modulation; Chapter 3: Cholesterol and AD: the molecules, the targets; Chapter 4: The Bimodal Features of Butyrylcholinesterase in Cholinergic Neurotransmission and Amyloid Suppression; Chapter 5: Scyllo-inositol, a potential therapy for Alzheimer's disease; Chapter 6: Immunotherapeutic strategies toward treatment of AD; Tau protein as target; Chapter 7: Alzheimer Neurofibrillary Degeneration: Pivotal Role and Therapeutic Targets; Chapter 8: Multiple roles of glycogen synthase kinase-3 in AD; Chapter 9: Tau protein kinases inhibitors: from the bench to the clinical trials; Chapter 10: Activating PP2A as a therapeutic intervention strategy in AD; Chapter 11: Rationale for tau aggregation inhibitor therapy in Alzheimer's disease and other tauopathies; Glucose Metabolism as target; Chapter 12: Insulin Insulin Resistance and neurodegeneration: Type 2 versus type 3 diabetes mellitus; Chapter 13: Insulin-like Growth Factor I as a disease-modifying therapy in Alzheimer¦s disease; Chapter 14: Ketone bodies as a therapeutic for Alzheimer¦s disease

Brewin Books Salpetriere: The Story of a Hospital
Book SynopsisOn the 31st August 1997, the world's most popular Princess,Diana, was involved in a car accident in a Paris tunnel, she was taken to the intriguingly named Salpetriere Hospital where she died a few hours later at the age of 36. Salpetriere Hospital began life as the saltpetre (gunpowder) factory in King Louis XIV's arsenal. In the mid-17th century it was decided to move the arsenal to the other side of the river Seine and on the vacated land on the left bank a hospital was built which retained the name Salpetriere. It rapidly became a despised detention centre for errant or simply unfortunate women, many of them prostitutes. But with the introduction of kindness and caring it was able to recover and, with the beginnings of psychiatry and neurology, became recognised as one of the leading hospitals in the world. It is now a busy general teaching hospital housing the medical school of France's most famous university, the Sorbonne. This book tells how it recovered from the Gates of Hell to become the world famous hospital that it is today: 'From tyranny and horror to caring and renown' ... and more.
