This prestigious text offers the most up-to-date advice on the assessment and treatment of pain. Derived from the highly acclaimed journals Best Practice & Research Clinical Rheumatology and Best Practice & Research Clinical Anaesthesiology, this fully updated volume discusses the basic principles of pain, its diagnosis, the recognition of 'red' flags indicating a greater risk of serious causes and 'yellow' flags indicating a greater risk of developing more chronic pain, and the evidence-based management of a variety of conditions. Illustrated throughout, the book draws upon the expertise of some of the World's leading experts in the field, providing a publication that gives a truly international perspective to the management of pain.<ul><li>Full reference to the latest clinical research</li><li>New chapters on limb pain and Science and psychology of pain</li><li>Cochrane Reviews, when relevant</li><li>boxed and bulleted Research Agenda and Practice Points</li><li>Reference to national and international guidelines</li></ul>

<p><i>The Handbook of Clinical Neurology Vol 101: Muscular Dystrophies</i> discusses the pathogenesis and treatment prospects for muscular dystrophies. It summarizes the advances in molecular and cell biology, biochemistry, and other biological sciences, with an emphasis on their application to this group of muscle disorders and to their clinical implications.</p> <p>Starting with an overview of muscular dystrophies, the book's 16 chapters discuss dystrophinopathies&#x3b; sarcoglycanopathies&#x3b; congenital muscular dystrophies&#x3b; collagen VI-related myopathies&#x3b; limb-girdle muscular dystrophy 2A&#x3b; dysferlinopathies&#x3b; limb-girdle muscular dystrophy 2H and the role of TRIM32&#x3b; and caveolinopathies. The book also covers myofibrillar myopathies&#x3b; Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy&#x3b; facioscapulohumeral dystrophy and scapuloperoneal syndromes&#x3b; oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy&#x3b; myotonic dystrophy types 1 and 2&#x3b; and distal muscular dystrophies.</p> <p>This book is useful to basic investigators, as it offers an increased understanding of muscular dystrophies&#x3b; and to clinicians, with its emphasis on issues that are relevant to the care, diagnosis, and management of patients with these disorders. </p>
