Product Description:


Everything you need to know about neuromuscular disease-in one concise, full-color volume



Neuromuscular Disorders is comprehensive in scope, yet concise enough to serve as a valuable point-of-care guide for your day-to-day clinical practice. Grounded by numerous reference sources and enhanced by the experience of two seasoned clinicians, this text provides a pragmatic approach to the evaluation and management of neuromuscular disease. Here, in a single source, you'll get an insightful look at both nerve and muscle conditions, ranging from motor neuron diseases to neuropathies, neuromuscular junction disorders, and myopathies.



The book opens with the clinical and laboratory approach to patients with neuromuscular disease, covering electrodiagnostic testing, nerve conduction studies, and muscle and nerve histopathology. With an emphasis on effective diagnosis and treatment, the substance of the text examines the full spectrum of specific neuromuscular diseases, giving you the “big picture” of the discipline in a way that no other text can match.



FEATURES:

  • Convenient coverage of both nerve, muscle and neuromuscular transmission disorders-both primary and secondary neuromuscular diseases
  • Specific disease sections encompass the range of conditions likely to be encountered in clinical practice, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, myasthenia gravis, radiculopathies and plexopathies, mononeuropathies, various polyneuropathies, toxic myopathies, and dozens more
  • The very latest diagnosis and treatment recommendations and protocols based on the most recent clinical literature and research
  • Well-illustrated with EMGs, histopathology, and clinical photos

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Neuromuscular Disorders
NEUROMUSCULAR DISORDERS
Like the first reviewer, I purchased this book to help me organize my study for the new ABPN Neuromuscular Medicine boards. I think it is helping me do that. The book is well organized, fairly comprehensive and reasonably easy to read. It is not as good as Katirji, for instance. I think that is because two authors can't possibly be experts on every aspect of neuromuscular medicine. Despite that, it was a good effort for just two authors. I think the next edition ...

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - another review
I purchased this book due to my interest in neuromuscular medicine. I wanted a text that would provide a framework of diseases within the bailiwick of this sub-speciality to strengthen what I knew and develop a familiarity for entities I was not as well versed with. I thought that this would be a good book because of the fact the book is published in 2008, it was less than two hundred dollars, and that it was in a length that could be read in a reasonable time frame, as opposed to works edited by ...

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - great book
This is a great book for neurology residents trying to get a review of neuromuscular diseases, or even for attendings in neuromuscular disease looking to review and refresh. I plan to use it to study for the neuromuscular boards this fall. Great picutres of disease, pathology photos, tables for differential dx and up to date treatment recommendations. Overall, a book that fills a void in the neuromuscular market. There is a neuromuscular atlas by one of the coauthors that is also very good and they ... Read More
