Editorial Reviews
Review
"...a comprehensive textbook dealing with the topic of multiple sclerosis, including pathology, immunopathogenesis, clinical and laboratory features, patient management issues, rehabilitation and pharmacological therapy...The strengths of the text include the very broad range of topics covered including historical and epidemiological aspects as well as items of rehabilitation and problems with topics that receive less attention in neurology text books such as sphincter and sexual dysfunction and general patient management issues." Gordon Francis, The Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences
Product Description
This concise, abundantly illustrated text provides a complete overview of multiple sclerosis. By including recent research findings in genetics, immunology and pathophysiology, the authors provide reliable and up-to-date guidance on the epidemiology, diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of MS. Of particular interest to neuroscientists and neurologists will be the reviews of experimental models of MS, pathology of the demyelinated plaque, HLA associations and the role of immune mechanisms. Contributors analyze the environmental and geographical factors in the etiology of MS, including the possible role of infectious agents. The clinical sections of the book include discussion of neurological, sexual, psychological and cognitive disturbances. A review of diagnostic criteria and rehabilitation measures are prominent features of this highly practical book.
