Peripheral Neuropathy in Childhood (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

Peripheral neuropathies are diseases that affect the neuromuscular apparatus between the muscles or sensory receptors and connections in the spinal cord and the brain. They affect approximately 20-30% of children attending neuromuscular clinics. Uniquely, this text deals exclusively with such disorders in children and draws together the rapidly expanding but widely scattered knowledge in the field. It is a highly practical text, written by clinical neurologists with long experience in physiology, histopathology, and management of neuropathy. This new edition retains the basic structure of its successful predecessor and continues to offer many illustrations and real case histories. An extensive revision of the text has enabled it to encompass the major developments over the past seven years, including particularly recent advances in molecular biology and therapy of metabolic and inflammatory neuropathies.
