The field of narcolepsy has developed enormously within the last 10
years. Indeed the understanding of the basics of sleep-wake
regulation and the discovery of new neurotransmitter systems (the
hypocretins) has boosted research and key findings in the field,
providing important insights into how sleep is regulated.
Consequently narcolepsy now receives a great deal of attention from
both clinicians and scientists throughout the world. Narcolepsy:
Pathophysiology, Diagnosis, and Treatment not only offers an
engaging and comprehensive treatment of a fascinating disorder but
also includes a DVD that offers a unique and large collection of
movies displaying the symptoms of narcolepsy in people and animals.
Written by some of the best experts in the field, the book focuses
on the pathophysiology of the problem and also provides critical,
up-to-date insights on the key clinical issues: how to diagnose the
disorder, how to treat it, and how to best manage psychosocial
problems. The first and only guide to span the latest advances in
narcolepsy, this reference provides sections in etiology,
neurochemistry, the role of the hypocretins in sleep-wake
regulation, animal models in narcolepsy, the key role of the
hypothalamus, REM-sleep dysregulation, diagnosis and
classification, and treatment. Compiled by an international group
of more than 30 authors, Narcolepsy: Pathophysiology, Diagnosis,
and Treatment is an indispensable resource for all clinicians and
scientists with an interest in narcolepsy.
The 1990s represented for several Latin American countries, Brazil in particular, a remarkable period. New international scenario and changes in the traditional way of economic policymaking have led to an unprecedented economic environment, with low inflation rates, broader access to imported goods and reduced interference from the State, among other characteristics.By the end of such a unique period the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), a United Nations agency, sponsored a regionwide project of growth and equity in Latin America in the 1990s, as an effort to improve the knowledge of the economic reforms undertaken in Latin America during that decade. This book presents the main results of the project for the Brazilian economy, with systematic information and analysis of several aspects of those unprecedented changes. The works published here were made by well-known Brazilian experts, several of them with previous high-ranking experience in the public sector.
