Movement Disorders in Childhood, Third Edition provides the most up-to-date information on the diseases and disorders that affect motor control, an important area of specialization within child neurology. In this new edition, each chapter has been fully revised to include all of the latest scientific and therapeutic advances. Updates include new insights in motor development, control, goal-directed and habitual behaviors, classifications of movements and their complex and integrated circuitry. The authors also discuss developments in pathophysiologic mechanisms, immunology and metabolic disorders. New chapters include coverage of genetics of movement disorders and movement disorders in psychiatric conditions. Appendices include an updated and revised drug index and genetic search strategy. An updated Companion website hosts selected educational videos to help diagnose movement disorders.
Providing authoritative and up-to-date medical and scientific
information about Tourette syndrome, "A Family's Guide to Tourette
Syndrome" speaks to patients, families, care providers, academic
institutions, and medical centers in easy-to-understand language
about this neurodevelopmental disorder that affects children,
adolescents, and adults worldwide. Each chapter is authored by
leading neurologists, psychiatrists, psychologists, scientists, and
others with expertise and research interests in Tourette
syndrome. "I am delighted to see the breadth and wealth of valuable clinical and scientific findings that have been gathered together in this comprehensive resource for families. The information provided in this book is testimony to the talent, abiding intellectual curiosity, and dedication to compassionate care and sheer persistence of each of the professionals who have contributed chapters. Their common goal was clear and selfless-to uncover sound medical and scientific data that could provide much needed answers to the baffling complexities of Tourette syndrome. A mere two decades ago, it was clear to all in the field that the prospect of obtaining sufficient funding to explore more deeply the intriguing preliminary findings uncovered about the disorder was all but non-existent. Simply put-other research funding priorities prevailed at the time. And so we can appreciate that the decision by each of them to dedicate their professional efforts to the study of Tourette syndrome is especially laudable. And for this we all owe the contributing authors a profound debt of gratitude." -Sue Levi-Pearl, Emeritus TSA Vice President, Medical and Scientific Programs
Movement disorders are a relatively new area of specialization
within child neurology. For many years, movement abnormalities
affecting the pediatric population received little attention in
adult-oriented textbooks, and chapters were frequently written by
adult neurologists. Over the past several decades, child
neurologists have assumed a greater role in the care of children
with movement disorders and the investigation of their underlying
etiologies and mechanisms. This new edition will build upon the
success of the 1st Edition and add new materials with a more
disease oriented approach and add coverage of genetic causes,
metabolic and immunological origination of movement disorders in
childhood. * The only current tutorial/reference specifically focused on childhood movement disorders.. * 100% revised and updated * New coverage of genetics and movement disorders, immunology and movement disorders, and an introduction to the latest quantitative analysis.
