Myotonic Dystrophy

Reviews / Votes

The book is academically very good and written in a practical way that both patients and doctors will find useful...I can recommend the book, not only for patients but also for such doctors in general practice. * The Journal of the Norwegian Medical Association * This book written by the main world experts in the field is a practical outline for both the clinicians and families. I strongly recommend it. * European Journal of Paediatric Neurology, Vol 10 * . . . illustrates all the various clinical aspects of this complex disease and gives insight into the pathogenesis and possibilities of the management of each complication at the different stages of myotonic dystrophy. The completeness of the data presented in each chapter is imporessive. The chapters are well structured and the illustrations are clear and informative. The flow charts are adequately structured and easy to understand. The references are well-selected and up-to-date. All chapters are written by renowned experts in the field of the myotonic dystrophies and neuromuscular diseases. It is a most educative book for clinicians working in the field of the neuromuscular diseases and for geneticists responsible for the genetic counselling of patients with myotonic dystrophy. * Human Genetics * . . . a book that offers a wealth of up-to-date, practical and relevant information. Reflecting the central role of neuromuscular assessment and clinical management issues, this book is to be recommended as an essential reference for every neurologist involved in the care of patients with myotonic dystrophy. * Neuromuscular Disorders, 14 *
