Parkinson's disease (PD)
is the second most common neurodegenerative disease in the world.
Still the only major text on the subject, the completely revised
and updated second edition of Parkinson’s Disease: Diagnosis and
Clinical Management comes at a time when specialists have made
important advances in our understanding of the etiology,
pathogenesis, investigation, and management of Parkinson’s
disease.
The book
includes 23 completely new chapters, and has updated information
on:
- Genetics
- Pathology
- Biomarkers
- Pathogenesis
- Impulse
control disorders in Parkinson’s disease
- Updated
outcome measures
- Complementary and
alternative medicine for the treatment of Parkinson’s
disease
Together
the chapters form a comprehensive review of the many issues facing
PD physicians today. Lucid and easily readable from beginning to
end, each chapter may also stand on its own as a scholarly review
of the individual subject. Each one is concisely written and
heavily referenced for this purpose.
The
second edition of Parkinson’s Disease: Diagnosis and Clinical
Management provides a state-of-the-art review of where we’ve been,
where we are now, and where we are going in treating this
disease.
Reviews
"Surprisingly, there has
been no major monograph devoted to Parkinson's disease alone.
Factor and Weiner fill this gap with a jumbo book containing 11
sections comprising 58 chapters by 87 contributors, all recognized
authorities." -- New England Journal of Medicine
"The book
is an informative read, with a very good take on the current
management of Parkinson disease...it supplants the older movement
disorder texts as the one I will reach for first when reviewing a
Parkinson disease topic."--Archives of Neurology
"...Although the scale
and scope of the book is large, this gigantism does not detract
from the excellent organization of the book, especially because it
will serve as a reference book rich in its bibliography." --
