Editorial Reviews

Review

"The book deals with the necessary principles of neurology without going into detail. This format is very valuable for a quick review." "The book is useful as a second tier resource to the larger textbooks that deal with the practical aspects of neurology. It also is helpful as a quick review of the original textbook." "5 stars!" (Doody's )

1.0 out of 5 stars A Glaring Flaw, April 10, 2010
This review is from: Adams & Victor's Manual of Neurology (Paperback)
If the discussion of chronic fatigue syndrome is any indication of the quality of scientific reasoning and research that went into this book, then I strongly discourage anyone from purchasing it. The authors of that discussion have subscribed to an outdated - and even then minority - view of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) propagated by a group of psychiatrists and psychologists; in this completely unsubstantiated and unscientific view it is compared to the 19th century concept of "neurasthenia", a supposedly neurotic condition. None of the thousands of research papers that have found significant physical pathology in CFS are mentioned, nor the fact that the United States Centers for Disease Control and the World Health Organization recognize CFS as a physical disease (additionally, the American Psychiatric Association does not recognize CFS as a psychiatric disease of any kind); the WHO has for decades classified myalgic encephalomyelitis (aka CFS) under its section in neurological diseases. Abundant evidence has been found of dysfunction and damage in the central/ autonomic and peripheral nervous systems of CFS patients.

It is astonishing that a Neurology textbook would ignore or be unaware of all of this; such misinformation about a serious and widespread physical illness that many medical professionals will encounter makes this book a liability, and definitely not something worth recommending to colleagues.

As stated by Harvard Medical School professor Dr. Anthony Komaroff, "There are now over 4,000 published studies that show underlying biological abnormalities in patients with this illness. It's not an illness that people can simply imagine that they have and it's not a psychological illness...that debate..should now be over."

1.0 out of 5 stars Misleading re: CFS/ME, April 9, 2010
This review is from: Adams & Victor's Manual of Neurology (Paperback)
The authors here confuse "chronic fatigue," which is a symptom of many different diseases, including depression, with a serious physical illness called "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic Encephalomyelitis" (CFS/ME). This is a very serious illness which ruins the lives of millions of men, women and children. In Oct 2009, an article was published in the journal SCIENCE which found a retrovirus, XMRV, in most of their sample of CFS/ME sufferers. Hopefully, the results of this study and other research studies will show the error of this type of confusion among doctors and researchers so that the focus will be on finding a cure for this dangerous illness rather than trivializing the sufferers.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very Inaccurate, December 1, 2009
This review is from: Adams & Victor's Manual of Neurology (Paperback)
Very inaccurate on ME (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis aka CFS/CFIDS). ME is a common (1M+ in US) and extremely debilitating NeuroEndocrine Immune Disease. They conflate ME (CFS) and idiopathic chronic fatigue and say ME is just a euphamism for depression. Shameful.
