Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Movement Disorders is the first book to focus in detail on MRI in a range of movement disorders. Since MRI was first employed in imaging Parkinson's disease, the number of imaging techniques and their application in diagnosis and management has extended widely. The book shows various imaging strategies ranging from functional, structural and chemical methods as they relate to both motor and non-motor aspects of Parkinson's disease and other conditions such as Huntington's disease and dystonia. Chapters on MRI in surgery and using MRI as a potential outcome measure in clinical trials show the clinical relevance of methods. Novel methods including DTI, tractography and resting case studies are described in detail. The book also summarises the relevance of fMRI to various aspects of movement disorders. Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Movement Disorders is essential reading for neurologists, radiologists and movement disorder specialists.
Over the years, approaches to obesity prevention and treatment have
gone from focusing on genetic and other biological factors to
exploring a diversity of diets and individual behavior modification
interventions anchored primarily in the power of the mind, to the
recent shift focusing on societal interventions to design
"temptation-proof" physical, social, and economic environments. In
spite of repeated calls to action, including those of the World
Health Organization (WHO), the pandemic continues to progress. WHO
recently projected that if the current lifestyle trend in young and
adult populations around the world persist, by 2012 in countries
like the USA, health care costs may amount to as much as 17.7% of
the GDP. Most importantly, in large part due to the problems of
obesity, those children may be the first generation ever to have a
shorter life expectancy than that of their parents.
