This book was released on 2012-11-11 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

Download or read book Pediatric Neurology Part III written by Michel Vanasse and published by Elsevier Inc. Chapters. This book was released on 2013-04-24 with total page 732 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most neuromuscular diseases (NMD) are rare inherited conditions presenting a relentlessly progressive course. Some NMD are associated with intellectual impairment and many are complicated by musculoskeletal, cardiac, or respiratory problems. Rehabilitation care of NMD is thus best provided by a team of medical specialists and health professionals working closely together in an interdisciplinary fashion. Rehabilitation for patients with NMD should include physical evaluation but also assessment of their ability to manage their daily activities or work and their need for assistive devices. With appropriate physical, psychological, and social support, those patients can maintain a good quality of life and an adequate level of well-being. Surgical management of musculoskeletal problems in children related to neuromuscular disorders remains a highly controversial subject. This review is based mainly on the author's personal experience with conservative and periopeporative rehabilitation care for neuromuscular diseases. A multidisciplinary approach is advocated. The importance of proactive respiratory care is emphasized. Rehabilitation after surgical treatment of spinal deformities is analyzed outlining the particular aspects in spinal muscular atrophy, Duchenne's muscular dystrophy, congenital muscular dystrophy, and congenital myopathies. A disease- specific approach is recommended as the wide variety of different neuromuscular pathologies requires careful planning of treatment strategies best managed in a team approach.

Download or read book Genetic Counseling for Adult Neurogenetic Disease written by Jill S. Goldman and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-12-01 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The adult patient diagnosed with or at risk for a neurogenetic disease has many questions and concerns for the genetic counselor, the neurologist, and other practitioners. Because of the emotional and potentially life-altering impact of these diseases on the patient and family, counseling can be especially challenging. A rare hands-on guide to the subject, Genetic Counseling for Adult Neurogenetic Disease deals with core issues that differentiate adult neurogenetic counseling from its more familiar pediatric counterpart. This innovative book with accompanying videos is designed to fill in deficits in this area typical of training programs in genetic counseling (which have pediatrics and prenatal concentrations) and neurology (which rarely cover genetic counseling). For each condition featured, chapters include a detailed overview of genetic symptoms, diagnostic criteria, and management, plus guidelines for asking, and answering, pertinent questions. The major concentration, however, is on genetic counseling issues and case histories illustrating these issues. As an added dimension, the accompanying videos depict representative issues and challenges in genetic counseling for specific diseases in addition to the basics of a neurological examination. Among the conditions discussed: Movement disorders, including Parkinson's disease. Dementias, including Alzheimer's disease. Stroke. Motor neuron diseases. Neuropathies and channelopathies. Adult muscular dystrophies. Neurocutaneous syndromes. Plus a section on neurological and neuropsychological evaluation. This is information that will stay relevant as technologies change and genetic understanding evolves. Genetic Counseling for Adult Neurogenetic Disease offers advanced clinical wisdom for genetic counselors as well as neurologists, neuropsychologists, and other referring clinicians.
