Autism is an emerging area of basic and clinical research, and has only recently been recognized as a major topic in biomedical research. Approximately 1 in 100 children are diagnosed as autistic, so it is also an intense growth area in behavioral and educational treatments. Financial resources have begun to be raised for more comprehensive research and an increasing number of scientists are becoming involved in autism research. In many respects, autism has become a model for conducting translational research on a psychiatric disorder. This text provides a summary of all current knowledge related to the behavioral, experiential, and biomedical features of the autism spectrum disorders including major behavioral and cognitive syndromology, common co-morbid conditions, neuropathology, neuroimmunology, and other neurological correlates such as seizures, allergy and immunology, gastroenterology, infectious disease, and epidemiology. ...Less

This resource demonstrates that autism, like mental retardation, is a clinical presentation of numerous different diseases, many with genomic underpinnings. In this ground-breaking work, the authors explain in great detail how to clinically diagnose infants, children, adolescents and adults with autistic behavioral features and their psychiatric and neurological work-ups. ...Less

This resource provides a framework for understanding the pathophysiology of diseases involving the vestibular system, and is divided into four parts: Anatomy and physiology of the vestibular system; Evaluation of the dizzy patient; Diagnosis and management of common neurotologic disorders; and Symptomatic treatment of vertigo. ...Less

Behavioral neurology is founded on lesions of cortical gray matter, but recently the contributions of cerebral white matter to cognitive and emotional dysfunction have also attracted attention. The Behavioral Neurology of White Matter surveys this broad and fascinating field from a clinical perspective. Stimulated by recent improvements in neuroimaging, white matter has been carefully studied, and its role in the operations of cognition and emotion clarified by correlations with clinical observations. ...Less

This resource discusses a neurologic condition that medically and legally defines death, the clinical criteria for brain death, and compresses an amazing amount of scholarship, opinions, and clinical research into one small volume. It aims to present a practical book that can be used at the bedside. It expands on the current criteria used in countries throughout the world and highlights the often inexplicable differences among them. There is also a comprehensive discussion of the new 2010 American Academy of Neurology guidelines on determining brain death. ...Less

Offering a practical approach to the introduction of sleep medicine, this resource uses actual patient cases from the Cleveland Clinic Sleep Disorders Center, and features a wide spectrum of diagnoses to expose the reader to the extensive range of sleep-wake disorders that a patient can experience. Designed to illustrate the signs and symptoms, diagnostic criteria, workup and routine treatment of patients presenting to the sleep clinic, readers will find this a practical source of information. ...Less

This resource features 60 chapters written by the world's elite clinicians from neurology, geriatrics and research on all aspects of geriatric neurology, and the authors have incorporated the geriatric care perspective and a quality-oriented approach to health care throughout, resulting in the definitive reference for all clinicians caring for older people as well as for those who set policies that affect research and clinical practice. ...Less

This resource provides a didactic, yet accessible, presentation of electrophysiology that describes the analysis of electrophysiological waveforms, the various methods and techniques of electrophysiological testing, and recommendations of symptom complexes and disease entities using electroencephalography, evoked potentials, and nerve conduction studies. ...Less

In this edited resource, experts in the field describe in detail all aspects of cognitive impairment and dementia in Parkinson's disease, including epidemiology, spectrum of clinical features, pathology, neurochemistry and genetics, findings in auxillary investigations, and the relation to other neurodegenerative disorders. ...Less
