Book Synopsis Wilson’s Disease by : George J. Brewer
Download or read book Wilson’s Disease written by George J. Brewer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Movement disorder specialists, general neurologists, hepatologists, general gastroenterologists, and psychiatrists are the specialists who will most likely see some Wilson's disease patients during their careers. See them - yes. Recognize and diagnose them - maybe. If you are in one of these specialties, and a patient with tremor, hepatitis, cirrhosis, apparent Parkinsonism, or mood disorder, is referred to you, will you appropriately recognize the possibility that the underlying diagnosis may be Wilson's disease? Wilson's disease is both treatable and reversible, and commonly misdiagnosed. This book aims to change this with comprehensive coverage of every aspect of Wilson's disease, from well-catalogued, easy-to-use clinical diagnostic tools to treatment methods to molecular biology. Dr. Brewer is the world's leading expert on Wilson's disease, seeing and caring for over 300 patients with the disease during the last 20 years. He is a professor of human genetics at the University of Michigan.
Book Synopsis Wilson's Disease for the Patient and Family by : George J. Brewer
Download or read book Wilson's Disease for the Patient and Family written by George J. Brewer and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2002-04-09 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wilsons Disease for the Patient and Family: A Patients Guide to Wilsons disease and Frequently asked Questions about Copper, is an essential reference book for patients with Wilsons disease and their families. In easy-to-understand language, Dr. Brewer, a world authority on Wilsons disease and copper, explains everything about Wilsons disease, from its genetic cause and mechanism of transmission, to effective treatment plans. A comprehensive glossary provides readers with definitions and explanations for many of the scientific words and phrases used in the text. Major reasons why this book is important to patients relate to the rarity of the disease, variation in its manner of presentation, and the likelihood that doctors consulted about the medical problems will know very little about Wilsons disease. Most doctors, even specialists in liver disease or neurology, will see at most one or two cases during their entire medical careers. If patients hope for rapid and early diagnosis, and that is important to preserve as much function as possible, they may need to help the doctor think of the disease in the first place, and help in sorting out what constitutes proper diagnosis. And then, if there is a diagnosis, comes treatment. The days are gone when one drug, penicillamine (the only anticopper drug most doctors have heard of), is prescribed as soon as the diagnosis is made. Now we have different therapies for different stages. In fact, we no longer recommend penicillamine for Wilsons disease at all. This book will guide the patient and family through all of these various aspects of Wilsons disease. Dr. Brewer begins by describing Wilsons disease, what causes it, how it is inherited, and what symptoms people with Wilsons disease exhibit. It is an inherited disorder of copper accumulation and toxicity, affecting one in 40,000 people worldwide. After basic coverage of Wilsons disease, Dr. Brewer devotes an entire chapter to answering some of the most commonly asked questions about copper. Many of these questions are unrelated to Wilsons disease, but are questions frequently asked by other types of patients as they are informed that there is something wrong with their copper. After that, Dr. Brewer explores the symptoms which should trigger the suspicion of Wilsons disease, and what screening tests can be done to explore this possibility. He then covers testing which will give a definitive diagnosis, what the results of different tests mean, and some of the possible problems with various tests which might be performed. Once a reliable diagnosis of Wilsons disease is made, anticopper therapy is essential to the survival of Wilsons disease patients. Dr. Brewer explains what drugs are available for treatment of Wilsons disease, and offers a comparison of their benefits and side effects. He elaborates on variations in treatment, first discussing the initial stage of treatment, and then long-term maintenance therapy. Included in the discussion are tips for treatment of children and pregnant women. The risks and long-term outlook for a person diagnosed with Wilsons disease are discussed in some detail. After these information-packed chapters, Dr. Brewer devotes a chapter to answering some frequently asked questions about Wilsons disease, and presents resources available to Wilsons disease patients and their families. The book concludes as Dr. Brewer examines the current shortcomings in Wilsons disease therapy, and points to areas which might be improved upon in the future.

Book Synopsis Wilson's Disease by : Tjaard U. Hoogenraad
Download or read book Wilson's Disease written by Tjaard U. Hoogenraad and published by Bailliere Tindall Limited. This book was released on 1996 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wilson's Disease, an inherited copper toxicosis, is a condition that affects the central nervous system and liver, and appears in childhood or early adulthood. Though the condition is rare, it is vital that the physician is aware of its clinical manifestations, since treatments can be very successful if instituted before irreversible organ damage has occurred. Here, Tjaard Hoogenraad gives a comprehensive guide to effective early diagnosis and treatment of Wilson's Disease, using a series of fascinating case studies to bring out the nuances of effective patient management. In addition, he provides an in-depth review of current information on the aetiology and pathogenesis of the disease, plus practical guidance on the new diagnostic tests and therapies that have arisen from the latest scientific data. Drawing on his own extensive experience with Wilson's Disease patients, and presenting an informed perspective on all the literature available on this topic, Dr Hoogenraad has produced the most complete and up-to-date clinically oriented monograph currently available on this disease.
Book Synopsis Neuroacanthocytosis Syndromes by : Adrian Danek
Download or read book Neuroacanthocytosis Syndromes written by Adrian Danek and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2004-11-19 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neuroacanthocytosis Syndromes is the first comprehensive review of a field that has not yet received the attention it deserves. Affecting the brain as well as the circulating red cells, these multi-system disorders in the past had often been mistaken for Huntington's disease. Recent breakthroughs have now identified the molecular basis of several of these. This volume grew out of the first international scientific meeting ever devoted to neuroacanthocytosis and provides in-depth information about the state of the art. Its thirty chapters were written by the leading authorities in the field to cover the clinical as well as the basic science perspective, including not only molecular genetics but also experimental pharmacology and cell membrane biology, among others. The book vehemently poses the question of how the membrane deformation of circulating red blood cells relates to degeneration of nerve cells in the brain, the basal ganglia, in particular. It provides a wealth of data that will help to solve an intriguing puzzle and ease the suffering of those affected by one of the neuroacanthocytosis syndromes.

Book Synopsis Movement Disorder Emergencies by : Steven J. Frucht
Download or read book Movement Disorder Emergencies written by Steven J. Frucht and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-02-10 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Movement Disorder Emergencies: Diagnosis and Treatment provides a fresh and unique approach to what is already a high-profile subspecialty area in clinical neurology. The disorders covered in this volume are standard fare in the field but emphasize the urgencies and emergencies that can occur. One of the very attractive features of the field of movement disorders is that diagnosis is often based on unique visible and sometimes audible phenomenological symptoms and signs. Therefore, in this era of highly sophisticated laboratory and radiological diagnostic tools, the diagnosis of many movement disorders is still largely made in the clinic where pattern recognition is key. Crucial to astute clinical diagnosis is broad clinical experience. In short, you have to have seen one to recognize one! Patients with movement disorders nearly always present as outpatients but, as aptly recognized by Drs. Frucht and Fahn, this may include acute manifestations leading to emergency presentations, often in an emergency room setting, where they are very likely to be unrecognized and therefore poorly managed. The authors define an “emergency” movement disorder as one in which failure to promptly diagnose and treat may result in significant morbidity or mortality. However, they also stress the importance of certain “can’t miss” diagnoses such as Wilson’s disease, dopa-responsive dystonia, and Whipple’s disease in which delayed diagnosis in less emergent situations can lead to slowly evolving and often irreversible neurological damage with tragic consequences.
Book Synopsis Copper in Drinking Water by : National Research Council
Download or read book Copper in Drinking Water written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2000-04-12 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The safety of the nation's drinking water must be maintained to ensure the health of the public. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is responsible for regulating the levels of substances in the drinking water supply. Copper can leach into drinking water from the pipes in the distribution system, and the allowable levels are regulated by the EPA. The regulation of copper, however, is complicated by the fact that it is both necessary to the normal functioning of the body and toxic to the body at too high a level. The National Research Council was requested to form a committee to review the scientific validity of the EPA's maximum contaminant level goal for copper in drinking water. Copper in Drinking Water outlines the findings of the committee's review. The book provides a review of the toxicity of copper as well as a discussion of the essential nature of this metal. The risks posed by both short-term and long-term exposure to copper are characterized, and the implications for public health are discussed. This book is a valuable reference for individuals involved in the regulation of water supplies and individuals interested in issues surrounding this metal.
