Seminars in Neurology

 
 

  • Neuropsychiatric Sequelae of Traumatic Brain Injury Cognitive, mood, anxiety, thought, impulse, and substance disorders, and a variety of personality disorders can be seen following TBI.
  • Depression in Neurological Practice: Diagnosis, Treatment, Implications Ambulatory prevalence rates for significant depressive syndromes in general neurology clinics are quite high, in the range of 15 to 20% of clinic attendees.
  • Movement Disorders Caused by Medical Disease Early recognition of an underlying medical cause for movement disorders is essential because the treatment and prognosis differ significantly depending on the underlying pathophysiology.
  • Stroke as a Complication of Medical Disease The relationship between stroke and various medical diseases is examined, with the aim of allowing the reader to better recognize etiologic relationships, and thereby reach more accurate diagnoses.
  • The Olfactory System and Its Disorders It is now apparent that smell dysfunction is among the first clinical signs of such neurodegenerative diseases as Alzheimer's disease and sporadic Parkinson's disease.
  • Multiple Cranial Neuropathies This article provides an overview of those extramedullary conditions that have a predilection for causing multiple cranial nerve palsies.
  • Preoperative Evaluation of Patients With Neurological Disease A thorough evaluation of patients with neurological diseases undergoing surgery can reduce perioperative morbidity and mortality, especially stroke.
  • Sedation and Pain Management in Acute Neurological Disease The optimum provision of pharmacological sedation of the critically ill neurological patient requires defining the underlying etiology.
  • Neuroimaging in Dementia Although only a clinical assessment can lead to a diagnosis of dementia, neuroimaging an invaluable tool for the clinician in the differential diagnosis.
  • MR Spectroscopy in Diagnosis and Neurological Decision-Making In this review, the authors explain the technical and neurochemical aspects of MRS and critically discuss its clinical neuroimaging applications.
  • Recognition of Nonepileptic Events In this article, the clinical features suggestive of various types of nonepileptic paroxysmal events, together with useful diagnostic tests, will be reviewed.
  • Common Errors Made in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Epilepsy This article is a compilation of some of the frequent mistakes that are made in the evaluation and management of patients with epilepsy.
  • The Immunology of Multiple Sclerosis The focus of this article is on aspects of the human immune response that have been implicated in the MS disease process and, as a corollary, represent rational targets for the development of safe and effective therapies.
  • Genetics and Natural History of Multiple Sclerosis Advances in our understanding of the immunobiology of MS will hopefully enable more specific treatment modalities
  • Clinical Approach to Muscle Diseases Muscle diseases constitute a large variety of both acquired and hereditary disorders that can affect muscle structure, metabolism, or the function of the muscle channel
  • Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis from Bench to Bedside There have been many advances in symptomatic treatments and improvements in the quality of life for ALS patients due to technological advancements.
  • Alzheimer's Disease Read about Alzheimer's disease dementia, the most common cause of dementia in the elderly, in this article.
  • Mild Cognitive Impairment: Current Research and Clinical Implications Mild cognitive impairment has received a great deal of attention in recent years. Read about current research and clinical implications in this article.
  • Neuroimaging Advances and the Transformation of Acute Stroke Care This review explores the impact of neuroimaging advances in stroke and emphasizes the critical role of these modalities in the care of patients with ischemic and hemorrhagic events.
  • Depression and Stroke: Cause or Consequence? Read about depression diagnosis in stroke, the epidemiology of poststroke depression and its morbidity and mortality, and evidence on treatment and prevention of poststroke depression.
