Neuromuscular Disease

	Bertorini: Neuromuscular Case Studies, 1st ed. 2008, Butterworth-Heinemann DESCRIPTION: In this unique book, Dr. Bertorini guides you through more than 100 cases that demonstrate the diagnosis and management of a wide range of common and rare neuromuscular disorders. No other reference boasts such a large array of clinical studies devoted to all areas of this broad topic! Each case study reviews the etiologies, pathogenesis, differential diagnosis, and management of a particular disorder, helping you not only recognize its presentation, but also determine a diagnosis and the best treatment plans for your patients. You’ll also find expert guidance on the basic mechanisms of neuromuscular disorders, clinical examination, and diagnostic tests—including EMG, muscle biopsy, genetic testing, and more.
	Fahn: Principles and Practice of Movement Disorders, 1st ed. 2007, Churchill Livingstone DESCRIPTION: This practical, clinical reference from the two leading movement disorder experts focuses on the problems of diagnosing and managing all movement disorders. It features descriptions of the disorders, rating scales for clinical research, neurochemistry, clinical pharmacology, genetics, clinical trials, and experimental therapeutics.
	Jankovic: Botulinum Toxin, 1st ed. 2009, Saunders DESCRIPTION: The new, therapeutically-focused Botulinum Toxin presents comprehensive, cross-disciplinary guidance on current practices, covering more than 100 non-cosmetic conditions that occur in neurology, physical medicine and rehabilitation, pain medicine, ophthalmology, gastroenterology, urology, orthopedics, and surgery. International contributors review the current understanding of the biology and cellular mechanisms along with relevant research so you can easily apply them to the pathophysiology of the numerous disorders that botulinum toxin is used to treat—such as botulinum toxin applications for the treatment of cranial-cervical dystonias, motor disorders in cerebral palsy, bruxism and temporomandibular disorders, headache, overactive bladder, chronic pelvic pain syndromes, arthritis joint pain, and wound healing. With discussions of the latest in approved treatment practices as well as new and emerging uses, you’ll get in-depth management guidance on the application of the toxin.
	Katirji: Neuromuscular Disorders in Clinical Practice, 1st ed. 2001 DESCRIPTION: Inclusive and authoritative, this outstanding text encompasses all disorders of the peripheral nervous system in one easy to use volume. Unlike other texts that deal separately with motor neuron diseases, peripheral neuropathies, neuromuscular junction disorders and myopathies, this unique reference cover all aspects of neuromuscular disorders from diagnosis to treatment.
	Katirji: Electromyography in Clinical Practice, 2nd ed. 2007, Mosby DESCRIPTION: The only case-based guide to electromyography—back in a fully revised and updated New Edition! This practical resource examines how to approach, diagnose, and manage the most commonly encoun-tered disorders in the EMG laboratory. Based on actual cases, it correlates patient history, physical exam, EMG findings, relevant anatomy, treatment, and follow-up to help readers sharpen their clinical problem-solving skills. New cases have been added, and every case includes the latest advances in knowledge and technique.
	Preston: Electromyography and Neuromuscular Disorders, 2nd ed. 2005, Butterworth-Heinemann DESCRIPTION: This New Edition delivers, in a straightforward manner, all of the information readers need to understand and interpret electrodiagnostic studies. It emphasizes clinical/neurophysiological correlations and uses a practical, hands-on, interactive approach throughout.
	Schapira: Movement Disorders 4 (Blue Books Vol. 34), 1st ed. 2010, Saunders DESCRIPTION: Movement Disorders 4, the newest volume in the Blue Books in Neurology series provides you with rapid access to practical, clinical guidance on the diagnosis and pharmacologic treatment on the full range of movement disorders.
