Summary

This product began when almost no therapy existed for neurologic disorders. Over the past 20 years, great advances have been made in the diagnosis and treatment of disease, such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and MS. The book, geared toward the primary care physician, will be completely updated, with a special focus on such topics as treatment of neuromuscular disorders using IV immunoglobulin and enzyme replacement therapy for genetic muscle disease; new information on the interventional treatment for various cerebrovascular diseases; and updates on treatment options for neurologic disorders, such as dementia, coma, head trauma, and sleep.
