Atlas of Neuromuscular Diseases

A Practical Guideline
Langbeschreibung
This atlas offers a comprehensive overview of neuromuscular diseases. It discusses all aspects of neuromuscular disorders, including general tools, the cranial and spinal nerves, the nerve plexus, peripheral nerves, mono- and polyneuropathies, entrapment syndromes, the neuromuscular junction, motor neuron diseases, muscle disease, and autonomic involvement.Each chapter is structured into the following sections: anatomy, symptoms, signs, pathogenesis, diagnosis and differential diagnosis, therapy, and prognosis. The diagnostic tools used for neuromuscular disease are explained, and the therapeutic options for each disease are described.This updated third edition includes new chapters addressing a range of topics: from histology to molecular mechanisms, genetic aspects, the mechanisms of emerging new therapies, neuroimaging, neuromuscular disease, and new pathogenic mechanisms.The book aims to be a useful companion for neuromuscular disease.The homogenous structure, illustrations with figures, and representative images makes the atlas easy to read and helpful in understanding neuromuscular problems.

Univ. Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Grisold, is a specialist for neurology and psychiatry. Special interests are general neurology, neurooncology, neuromuscular disease, education, and patient related issues such as pain, palliative care, and advocacy. He has experience in hospital practice, research, and private practice. He has participated in EU projects on paraneoplastic syndromes. His scientific focus is on the effect of cancer on the peripheral nervous system, in particular peripheral neurotoxicity and the direct effects of cancer. In regard to neuromuscular disease, he has experience with neuromuscular diseases, such as autoimmune diseases, in particular myasthenia gravis and inflammatory neuropathies. He has much experience in neuromuscular clinics, and practices electrophysiology. He is involved in several international neurological societies and is the secretary general of the World Federation of Neurology. He has organized several international neurological congresses, among them the EANO congress in 2006, and the ICNMD 2018. He currently has more than 600 publications, 250 pubmed quoted, and 7 books.
