SynopsisThis definitive two-volume reference set covers the disorders of the peripheral nervous system including their clinical, neurophysiologic, pathologic, and biochemical features. A stellar cast of over 70 international contributors focus on approaches to diagnosis and treatment with discussions on HIV infection, Lyme infection, tropical neurology, and immune disorders including multifocal neuropathy with conduction block and inflammatory polyganglionopathy. Plus, extensive illustrations and chapter outlines are provided for enhanced learning and quick reference., Revised and updated this two volume set covers the disorders of the peripheral nervous system including their clinical, neurophysiologic, pathologic, and biochemical features. A stellar cast of over 70 international contributors focus on new approaches todiagnosis and treatment with discussions on HIV infection, Lyme infection, tropical neurology, and immune disorders including multifocal neuropathy with conduction block and inflammatory polyganglionopathy. Plus, extensive illustrations and chapter outlines are provided for enhanced learning and quick reference. Extensive illustrations clearly show physical findings, electrophysiological abnormalities, and neuropathological alterations. New laboratory techniques bring the reader up to date on the new approaches used to understand mechanisms and treatment of neuropathy. Detailed chapters cover the motor, sensory and autonomic deficits that aid in diagnosis. Coverage of chronic inflammatory-demyelinating polyneuropathy emphasizes the recent changes in treatment. Discussions on amyloidosis and monoclonal associated neuropathy detail latest developments and new treatment procedures to keep the reader up to date.
