Neurology and Medicine

The interface between neurological disorders and systemic disease provides great opportunities for the scientist and great challengesfor the clinician. This book describes the effect of neurological disorders on the principal body organs, and the impact of internalmedical diseases on the nervous system. It gains authority from the partnership between pairs of authors for each chapter, one a neurologist and one the relevant general medical specialist. Chapters include: Blood ? heart ? bone marrow ? diabetes ? dystonia and acquired systemic disorders ? gastrointestinal system ? kidney ? liver ? respiratory disease ? skin ? connective tissue disorders ? pituitary ? pregnacy. Ten percent of the population consult their doctors about eurological symptoms each year, and in many the presentation is in the context of general medical disease. Neurology and Medicine will help all general medical and neurological practitioners rise to the challenge.Hughes, Richard is the author of 'Neurology and Medicine', published 1999 under ISBN 9780727912244 and ISBN 0727912240.
