Cento personalità che hanno commisurato la loro vita con la malattia di Parkinson, lottando per rimanere grandi nel loro settore e affermare la superiorità del loro spirito, offrono un messaggio positivo e concreto. Giorgio Langella, parkinsoniano da diciotto anni, ha svolto questa meticolosa ricerca storica, ma non si è fermato ai nomi famosi, nel libro sono raccolte anche molte testimonianze di malati o familiari meno noti, che vivono accanto a noi. Alberto Marchet, neurologo, introduce le caratteristiche di questa malattia nei suoi risvolti clinici e sociali. Conclude il volume Pier Giorgio Gili che illustra la storia e l'importanza dell'associazionismo.

Questo è un testo di divulgazione scientifica sul morbo di Alzheimer, pensato per i pazienti e i loro familiari. I contenuti si articolano in quattro sezioni che coprono i temi della prevenzione, il rischio di sviluppare la malattia, i consigli per ridurre tale rischio e le indicazioni sul modo di affrontare la malattia dal momento della diagnosi in poi. L'autore si basa sui risultati delle più recenti ricerche nel campo dell'Alzheimer, offrendone una panoramica coincisa ma esaustiva.

Il libro analizza dal punto di vista antropologico il morbo di Alzheimer, una patologia degenerativa delle cellule cerebrali che implica problematiche sociali, economiche, politiche e istituzionali. L'opera si inserisce in quel filone di studi che sollecita l'incontro tra indagine antropologica e cultura scientifica affinché la medicina sia in grado di curare e, contemporaneamente, attenta ai bisogni del malato. In questo senso l'Alzheimer rappresenta un caso paradigmatico. Pur essendo allo stato attuale incurabile, infatti, la sintomatologia di questa malattia può essere alleviata ricorrendo a tutte quelle iniziative tipiche del "prendersi cura" in cui il ruolo dei familiari è così fondamentale da farla definire, dal punto di vista socio-antropologico, una "malattia familiare". Convivere con i malati di Alzheimer ed assisterli impegna i caregivers una difficile battaglia in cui troppo spesso vengono lasciati soli.

Questo testo è indirizzato agli specializzandi di neurologia ed agli studenti di medicina particolarmente motivati allo studio della neurologia, ma anche a tutti i colleghi (medici di base, medici del Pronto Soccorso, specialisti in oculistica, otorinolaringoiatria, ortopedia, fisiatria e geriatria) che spesso visitano pazienti con possibili patologie neurologiche. La conoscenza di alcune manovre semeiotiche e della terminologia neurologica è sicuramente utile anche ai fisioterapisti perché molti dei loro pazienti sono affetti da patologie neurologiche. Il testo può sembrare di dimensioni più vaste di quelle attese, ma ciò dipende dalle moltissime figure che sono state inserite per rendere più semplice l'apprendimento e la memorizzazione delle differenti manovre semeiotiche.

Sleep-related complaints are extremely common across the spectrum of psychiatric illness. Accurate diagnosis and management of sleep disturbances requires an understanding of the neurobiological mechanisms underlying sleep and wakefulness, the characteristics of sleep disturbance inherent to psychiatric illness and primary sleep disorders, as well as the psychopharmacologic and behavioral treatments available. Foundations of Psychiatric Sleep Medicine provides a uniquely accessible, practical, and expert summary of current clinical concepts at the sleep-psychiatry interface. Topics covered include: basic principles in sleep science, clinical sleep history taking, primary sleep disorders in psychiatric contexts, and sleep disturbance across a range of mood, anxiety, psychotic, substance use, cognitive and developmental disorders. Written by outstanding experts in the field of sleep medicine and psychiatry, this academically rigorous and clinically useful text is an essential resource for psychiatrists, psychologists and other health professionals interested in the relationship between sleep and mental illness.

This book provides a framework for understanding the pathophysiology of diseases involving the vestibular system. The book is divided into four parts: I. Anatomy and physiology of the vestibular system; II. Evaluation of the dizzy patient; III. Diagnosis and management of common neurotologic disorders; and IV. Symptomatic treatment of vertigo. Part I reviews the anatomy and physiology of the vestibular system with emphasis on clinically relevant material. Part II outlines the important features in the patient's history, examination, and laboratory evaluation that determine the probable site of lesion. Part III covers the differential diagnostic points that help the clinician decide on the cause and treatment of the patient's problem. Part IV describes the commonly used antivertiginous and antiemetic drugs and the rationale for vestibular exercises. The recent breakthroughs in the vestibular sciences are reviewed. This book will helpful to all physician's who study and treat patients complaining of dizziness.
