Seller's Description:
Like New. No Jacket. The Second Edition of Pediatric Epilepsy: Diagnosis and Therapy is intended to meet the same goals as the first edition: to assist all who are involved in caring for children with seizures and epilepsy. This continues to be the only book of its kind and scope. Discussions of practical medical management are balanced with the scientific basis of epilepsy and its treatment in a clear and concise manner. The book focuses on the special issues of children with epilepsy and is intended as both a practical guide and reference for clinicians and investigators. With many more options for the treatment of childhood epilepsy, including new antiepileptic drugs, vagus nerve stimulation, the re-emergence of the ketogenic diet, and a better understanding of surgical intervention, hope for all children with epilepsy for a more normal life is encouraged. Each chapter has been markedly updated or is a newly written General principles of therapy have been rewritten and updated concerning mechanisms of action, pharmacokinetics and general decisions regarding treatment for both chronic and acute management. The section on therapy has been markedly enlarged with separate reviews of a variety of newly available drugs. As surgical intervention for the treatment of epilepsy becomes an ever enlarging field, this section has been markedly expanded beginning with a discussion on the cost of surgery followed by comprehensive review of surgical evaluation and treatment for specific epilepsy types. Lastly, issues regarding quality of life and cognition and behavior are also discussed.
