Abstract:

Epilepsy syndromes of childhood are a heterogeneous group of disorders that occur at specific neurodevelopmental stages, with a variable prognosis ranging from benign to catastrophic. In clinical practice they are categorized based on seizure type, age of onset, clinical presentation, electroencephalographic (EEG) findings, as well as response to treatment. In addition, recent advancements in neuroimaging and genetic testing have become important diagnostic tools revealing underlying defects for some of these syndromes. This knowledge has consequences for clinical practice, as it opens new per

Abstract:

The term functional has almost replaced psychogenic in the neuromuscular literature for two reasons. It implies a disturbance of function, not structural damage; therefore, it defies laboratory testing such as MRIS, electromyography (EMG), and nerve conduction study (NCS). It is convenient to draw a parallel to the patients between migraine and brain tumors, as both cause headache, but brain MRI is negative in the former without minimizing the suffering of the patient. It is a “software” and not a “hardware” problem. It avoids irritating the patient by misunderstanding the word psychogenic whi

Abstract:

This chapter provides an overview of generalized epilepsies (GGE), which comprises a group of epilepsy syndromes of presumed genetic origin. They are classified into several syndromes according to their age, depending on clinical manifestation and associated electroencephalogram (EEG) features. The chapter introduces the concept of GGE before addressing different GGE syndromes, describing their clinical presentation, EEG features, treatment, prognosis, and underlying genetics. The following GGE syndromes are discussed in order of their age of onset—myoclonic astatic epilepsy, childhood absence

Abstract:

Symptomatic generalized epilepsies represent a group of challenging epilepsy syndromes, most often seen in children, which share the hallmark of a triad encompassing multiple seizure types, electroencephalographical (EEG) evidence of diffuse brain involvement, and dysfunction in the intellectual domain (global developmental delay or mental retardation). SGEs include the early myoclonic encephalopathy, early infantile epileptic encephalopathy (Ohtahara syndrome), West syndrome, epilepsy with myoclonic-astatic seizures, epilepsy with myoclonic absence, Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, and the progressiv

Abstract:

Nutcracker syndrome describes symptomatology associated with obstruction to the left renal vein caused by pressure from the overlying superior mesenteric artery. Modern imaging methods show that some degree of left renal vein obstruction may be a common incidental finding in asymptomatic patients so it is better described as ‘nutcracker phenomenon’, NCP. The association of NCP with symptoms and signs is often speculative. NCP may be seen at any age but most patients with symptoms attributed to it are teenagers or young adults. The strongest evidence is for association with episodic macroscopic

Women experience pain differently than men and suffer unique pain conditions. Pain syndromes frequently overlap in women and can be associated with co-occurring mental health disorders, addiction, and intimate partner violence as well as childhood sexual abuse. A discussion of extant concepts for understanding pain in women includes gender-role theory, exposure theory, and vulnerability theory. The chapter focuses predominantly on women of child-bearing age, and their unique risks and management requirements; consequently, contraceptive needs and fulfillment are reviewed for their place in the

Abstract:

Craniosynostosis is a condition in which one or more of the fibrous sutures in an infant skull fuses prematurely. This may lead to restricted skull and brain growth and elevated intracranial pressure. Many children with craniosynostosis undergo corrective cranioplasty in infancy, an age when the skull is relatively large in proportion to the rest of the body. Depending on the operation, it is common for blood loss to be substantial and exceed the child's estimated blood volume (EBV). Managing this blood loss is challenging and requires careful planning for fluid and blood product administratio

These different conditions, which give rise to dementia syndromes, each have distinct neurochemical pathologies, with important implications for treatment.

Oligoarthritis is a pattern of arthritis which most commonly resolves into a member of the spondyloarthritis family or sarcoidosis. Uncommonly it progresses to forms of arthritis more commonly associated with polyarthritis or monoarthritis and rarely it is associated with malignant or paraneoplastic syndromes. Three key aspects of diagnosis are consideration of possible diagnoses in the patient's age and ethnic groups; careful consideration of the personal and family history; and a search for and correct identification of characteristic associated features.

Surface or scalp electroencephalography (EEG) has become an indispensable tool for the diagnosis, classification, and care of patients with epilepsy across the age spectrum. This chapter provides an overview of interictal and corresponding ictal scalp EEG patterns observed in adults with certain classical epilepsy syndromes. In patients with one or more new-onset seizures, the value of EEG testing begins with a close examination of the interictal record. The morphology, frequency, and topography of interictal epileptiform discharges (when present) are typically sufficient to broadly distinguis

Abstract:

Obesity has been around for more than 20 000 years, as evidenced by statuettes produced in the Stone Age. Body mass index (BMI), calculated as weight divided by the square of the height, is one of the simplest and most common ways of defining obesity. A BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 is classed as normal. BMI values of 25.0–29.9 suggest overweight, and any values over 30 are deemed obese. Across populations, BMI is closely associated with whole body adiposity, and the cut-off levels for overweight and obesity reflect the increasing risk of metabolic, cardiovascular, and other complications of obesi

Alcohol and substance-use disorders in late life have been under-studied. Alcohol and prescription drugs are frequently abused by older Americans, yet addictive disorders are often difficult to identify in this population because of screening instruments adapted to younger adults, stigma and shame that limit help-seeking in older adults, and co-occurring medical and psychiatric conditions that mimic or mask both acute effects and withdrawal syndromes associated with alcohol or substance-use disorders.
