Epidemiology of Neurological Diorders

by Martyn

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

An up-to-date account of the epidemiology of the major neurological conditions including schizophrenia, Parkinson's disease, stroke, head injury, peripheral neuropathies, neurological disability, the epilepsies, amyotropic lateral sclerosis, multiple sclerosis, and dementias. Each chapter covers geography; current trends; characteristics of sufferers; and risk factors of a disease. Within each of these areas the chapters indicate the factors that are definitely established, those where evidence is doubtful, and important questions to be answered.

Book News Annotation:

Describes the increasing investigation of neurological disorders in populations as well as in individual patients, and the range of information such studies can provide researchers and clinicians on the causes and natural history of diseases and for designing better treatment. Focuses on such disorders as Parkinson's disease, stroke, peripheral neuropathies, the epilepsies, multiple sclerosis, and the dementias. The ten articles are reprinted from the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry, apparently various issues since no particular one is cited.
Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
