商品簡介
Because of the growing number of anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs) and gaps in the evidence base, management of the many types of epilepsy is difficult. Neurologists French (New York U. Comprehensive Epilepsy Center) and Delanty (Beaumont Hospital, Dublin, Ireland) introduce 16 chapters with an historical overview of first- and second-generation AEDs and issues in AED use. International specialists discuss surgical options for intractable cases, new forms of neurostimulation, and common clinical practices in epilepsy in special populations including children, women, the elderly, epilepsies of idiopathic (unknown) origin, and patients with co-morbid medical/psychiatric conditions. The volume includes summary tables of AEDs for specific uses/ syndromes, and seizure recording forms. Annotation c2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
