Description
Unique guide to coordinated and optimized treatment of common neurological diseases
Neurological and neurodegenerative diseases have a significant impact on a patient's functionality, independence,
and overall quality of life. Multidisciplinary clinical care, coordination, and treatment modifications are key to
increasing survival rates and enhancing the well-being of these patients. Neurological Diseases: Implications in
Medical and Dental Practices by Armin Ariana provides essential details on managing the neurological diseases commonly
seen by general healthcare and dental practitioners and the importance of collaborative treatment.
The text starts with an introduction to neurological diseases followed by eight disease specific chapters:
Parkinson Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), Alzheimer Disease, Stroke, Epilepsy
and Other Seizure Disorders, Myasthenia Gravis, and Facial Paralysis. Every chapter starts with an introduction and
background, then succinct sections covering epidemiology, etiology and pathogenesis, potential genetic factors,
clinical symptoms, diagnosis, and current treatment/management approaches.
