Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory, often progressive, and
potentially disabling disease of the central nervous system. Onset
of disease is usually between the ages of 15 and 50, with the
incidence nearly twice as high in women. While the cause of MS is
still unknown, the predominant theory is that it is an autoimmune
disease, triggered by an unknown environmental factor that results
in both loss of central nervous system myelin and degeneration of
axons and neurons. Although there have been a number of
publications addressing different aspects of MS treatment in the
neurological literature, there is a dearth of material on MS
designed for internists and primary care physicians, who are often
the first to see patients presenting with symptoms of MS.
Therefore, this concise, clinically focused volume will serve as a
valuable resource tailored to the specific needs of internists and
primary care physicians. Part of the Oxford Neurology Library, this
highly practical pocketbook covers current approaches and new
developments in the diagnosis, treatment and management of MS,
including both early and advanced stages of the disease. The book
offers in-depth coverage of special populations, as well as the
more unusual manifestations of MS, which are less familiar to the
internal medicine audience. It will also address the role of
imaging studies in the diagnosis, differential diagnosis and
monitoring of the progression of MS. In addition to providing
up-to-date information on pharmacological therapies for MS, the
book also describes an array of non-pharmacological treatment
options.
