This book was released on 1999-09-09 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Raising a child with a neuromuscular disorder can be a overwhelming experience for even the strongest parent or grandparent. Dr. Charlotte Thompson, a leading authority in pediatric neuromuscular disorders, draws on her 38 years of experience treating children with muscular dystrophy, spinal atrophy, congenital and mitochondrial myopathies, Charcot-Marie-Tooth, and all the childhood neuromuscular disorders. Her book provides not only medical facts but much practical advice on how to cope with the many challenges of day-to-day parenting a child with neuromuscular disease. Dr. Thompson discusses how to cope with the initial diagnosis of a neuromuscular disorder and then suggests ways to get beyond the shock, numbness, and anger that may occur. She describes each of the principal diseases giving the history, signs and symptoms, the usual course, outcome, genetics, and any possible treatments. Subsequent chapters offer advice on when to ask for a second opinion about the diagnosis, how to navigate the medical maze and work with a child's medical team. Tips on finding the most appropriate school placement and developing an individual education program (IEP) are invaluable. Dr. Thompson stresses the importance of taking one day at a time and insists that parents must care for themselves. She offers suggestions for developing family closeness and even how to make time for fun. Wise advice from parents of children with neuromuscular disease is inserted in boxes throughout the chapters. A large appendix gives resources state by state and country by country. There is no training that prepares you to be the parent of a child with a disability, but Raising a Child with a Neuromuscular Disorder should be a great help to parents, grandparents, and anyone who cares for a child or young person.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The newborn child’s immature nervous system makes early diagnosis of some neurological disorders difficult: it is often only the passage of time which clarifies the severity and pattern. Careful analysis of motor skills, vision, hearing and speech allows us to assess milestones. Progress from head control to sitting, standing and the maturation of gait should be orderly. Informed examination and the chapter on gait analysis highlight this development. Chapters in this book describe neural tube defects, the recognition and management of cerebral palsy and, lest we forget, poliomyelitis. The book is completed by considering the muscular dystrophies and arthrogryposis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clinical symptoms of neuromuscular diseases vary according to age and type of primary involvement (spinal motor neuron, nerve, neuromuscular junction or muscle). Tools at our disposal for diagnostic purposes are graduated based on the age of the patient and diagnostic suspicions generated by the clinical workup. Seven clinical presentations can be identified that all require technical facilities specifically dedicated to pediatric neuromuscular diseases: congenital hypomobility and arthrogryposis, paralytic hypotonia in infancy, motor delay and chronic walking difficulties after the age of 18 months, progressive walking difficulties after the age of 3 years, effort intolerance and acute rhabdomyolysis, acute motor symptoms or fatigability, and variability of symptoms. Electrophysiological investigation, particularly electromyography, is a valuable tool where neurogenic involvement or neuromuscular block is suspected. However, the technique is difficult to perform in children. Muscle biopsy is generally the key investigation and can be performed at any age. Molecular biology helps to improve diagnostic strategy. Muscle MRI, in combination with clinical evaluation, assists the selection of appropriate genetic tests and more generally the identification of genetically distinct forms of neuromuscular disorder. None of these are by any means routine investigations, and only a specialized multidisciplinary clinical approach can permit correct diagnosis and proper follow-up.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book provides an excellent review of all the clinical aspects of neuroanesthesia in children, including neurosurgeries during fetal state to neonatal, infancy, toddler, and school-going age groups. To provide optimal anesthetic care in children undergoing neurosurgery, the care provider must have adequate knowledge on the developing brain and spinal cord, and the effect of anesthetics on the neuronal tissue, and the inherent issues pertaining to neurologic lesions. This book covers the diagnostic, imaging, surgical as well as anesthetic managements of all the neurosurgical problems in children. The chapters include a wide range of topics from basic neurophysiology to general concerns for pediatric neuroanesthesia, including fluid management, blood transfusion, temperature regulation, and surgical positioning, as well as specific issues such as anesthesia for brain tumor surgery, hydrocephalus, neural tube defects, cerebrovascular surgeries such as aneurysmal surgery, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), Moyamoya disease, and vein of Galen malformation, functional neurosurgery, epilepsy surgery, neuroendoscopy, craniovertebral junction anomalies, spinal surgeries, neurotrauma, and brain abscess with congenital heart diseases. Interesting topics like neuroanesthesia in remote locations, regional anesthesia during neurosurgery, and anesthesia for children with neuromuscular disease are also discussed. Moreover, the book elaborates on advanced neuroanesthesia techniques during fetal neurosurgery and craniopagus separation surgery; and the postoperative intensive care management aspects in each chapter. It is supplemented with figures depicting surgical procedures and positioning, neuroimages, tables and illustrations for easy understanding. This book caters to neuroanesthesiologists, pediatric anesthesiologists, residents, and fellows of anesthesia or neuroanesthesia, practicing anesthesiologists, pediatric neurointensivists, nurse anesthetists, neurosurgeons, and pediatric neurosurgeons. It also serves as a reference book for the DM (neuroanesthesiology and neurocritical care), DNB-SS (neuroanesthesiology), and MD (anesthesiology) curriculums apart from anesthesia residency and pediatric anesthesia/ neurosurgery fellowship programs offered at various Institutions worldwide.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most neuromuscular diseases (NMD) are rare inherited conditions presenting a relentlessly progressive course. Some NMD are associated with intellectual impairment and many are complicated by musculoskeletal, cardiac, or respiratory problems. Rehabilitation care of NMD is thus best provided by a team of medical specialists and health professionals working closely together in an interdisciplinary fashion. Rehabilitation for patients with NMD should include physical evaluation but also assessment of their ability to manage their daily activities or work and their need for assistive devices. With appropriate physical, psychological, and social support, those patients can maintain a good quality of life and an adequate level of well-being. Surgical management of musculoskeletal problems in children related to neuromuscular disorders remains a highly controversial subject. This review is based mainly on the author's personal experience with conservative and periopeporative rehabilitation care for neuromuscular diseases. A multidisciplinary approach is advocated. The importance of proactive respiratory care is emphasized. Rehabilitation after surgical treatment of spinal deformities is analyzed outlining the particular aspects in spinal muscular atrophy, Duchenne's muscular dystrophy, congenital muscular dystrophy, and congenital myopathies. A disease- specific approach is recommended as the wide variety of different neuromuscular pathologies requires careful planning of treatment strategies best managed in a team approach.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Significant scientific and therapeutic advances have been made in recent decades, particularly in hereditary but also in acquired neuromuscular diseases. As a result of our increasing etiological understanding, the classification of these diseases has changed from a clinical-descriptive and formal-genetic to a molecular-genetic and pathophysiological one. This has led to an intensification of research into the diagnosis and treatment of these diseases, resulting in the first effective gene-modifying treatments for DMD and SMA in recent years and, more recently, gene replacement therapy for the most severe form of SMA. In addition, great strides have been made in symptomatic and rehabilitative treatment, making it possible to improve the functioning and quality of life of those affected and their families. This Special Issue of Children contains a collection of 12 studies and reviews dealing with genetic and acquired peripheral nerve and muscle disorders.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In neuromuscular disorders beginning in childhood, the involvement of respiratory muscles is common. Deterioration of respiratory function occurs insidiously, contributes to significant morbidity, and is often responsible for mortality. Since symptoms of respiratory involvement are not obvious, especially in the presence of maintained ambulation, respiratory failure must be systematically searched for in order to allow early care. The key to care of respiratory problems in neuromuscular disorders is a preventive approach. Careful monitoring of symptoms, regular assessment of pulmonary function, appropriate presurgical management, and aggressive treatment of respiratory infections must be considered a standard of care.
