Parkinson's Disease, Volume 132 addresses new developments in the F33 study of this disease, highlighting how the lives of people with Parkinson's have undergone dramatic changes in the last decade. New to this edition are chapters on the Hallmarks of clinical aspects PD throughout centuries, The motor syndrome of Parkinson disease, The non-motor features of Parkinson's disease, The New Diagnostic Criteria for Parkinson's disease, Advances in the Clinical Differential diagnosis, Clinical assessments in PD : Scales and monitoring, Biomarkers of Parkinson's disease: an Introduction, and the Genetics of Parkinson's Disease: Genotype-Phenotype Correlations. The topics discussed in this comprehensive series provide a clearer understanding of the prodromal stage, genetics, strategies, routes of treatment, and development of non-dopaminergic therapies in Parkinson's Disease, both medical and surgical.

Parkinsonism beyond Parkinson's Disease, Volume 149, the latest release in the International Review of Neurobiology series, highlights new advances in the field, with this new volume presenting interesting chapters on a variety of topics, including How to approach a patient with parkinsonism - red flags for atypical parkinsonism, The 'classic' atypical parkinsonian disorders, Classification of atypical parkinsonism per pathology vs. phenotypes, Progressive supranuclear palsy, Corticobasal degeneration, Multiple system atrophy, Atypical parkinsonism in other sporadic and genetic neurodegenerative diseases, Sporadic 'Atypical' Parkinson's disease, and much more.

Drawing on the expertise of an international team of authors, Case Studies in Movement Disorders is a compilation of illustrative cases, demonstrating a step-by-step approach to diagnosing and managing these complex conditions. An extensive collection of over sixty videos shows both common and uncommon presentations of a wide range of movement disorders, and the accompanying text guides readers systematically through the clinical history, examination and investigation findings, and diagnosis, and finally discusses the clinical issues raised. Both surgical and pharmacological management options are presented, helping readers understand some of the controversies involved in treatment. The cases are drawn from all of the major groups of movement disorders: ataxia, chorea, dystonia, myoclonus, parkinsonism, tics, and tremor. This will be invaluable for both neurologists in training and more experienced professionals seeking to develop their diagnostic skills, especially when faced with uncommon conditions or uncommon manifestations of common disorders.

This is the second edition of the Oxford Specialist Handbook in Parkinson's Disease and Other Movement Disorders aiming to provide its readership with the latest developments and innovation across the discipline. Alongside this update in content, the addition of new, insightful sections suggested by readers and other experts in the field, will allow the handbook to further develop as the premier quick reference guide for movement disorders. The varied and detailed composition of the handbook's chapters is extremely useful for the various readership of this title. The new edition advances the the knowledge and depth of the previous edition with the addition of a number of new sections. This new and improved edition will be a welcome and extremely useful addition to the neurological world.
