Kitob ta'rifi


Following an introduction covering the functional anatomy, physiology and pathology in protein aggregation disorders, this book deals with the aetiology, pathophysiology, di­agnostic and differential diagnostic procedures as well as conventional, pharmacological and neurosurgical strategies in movement disorders. Not only motor behavioural disorders are covered, behavioural motor disorders are also dealt with, including psychogenic/psychi- atric behavioural motor disorders, impulse control disorders, obsessive-compulsive disor­ders and the attentional deficit hyperactivity disorder. This book provides extensive visual information with numerous video fragments of these patients via Dropbox, improving its function as a guide to recognize and classify these disorders, and meeting the need for well formulated, generally accepted definitions. ‘Parkinson Disease and Other Movement Dis­orders’, provides you with the essential tools to recognize, interpret and understand the clin­ical manifestations and underlying disorders and to select the best therapeutic strategies. 
It is an excellent practical source for all medical and allied health professionals involved with movement disorder patients, and for researchers seeking a comprehensive, in-depth, translational overview of the fundamental and clinical aspects of movement disorders. By publishing this textbook, the International Association of Parkinsonism and Related Disor­ders hopes to contribute to achieving its goals: sharing knowledge and increasing the qual­ity of life of all patients suffering from these invalidating diseases.
