Description
Co-authored by a neurologist, a psychiatrist and a pulmonologist from the renowned Mayo Clinic, Sleep Medicine in Clinical Practice reflects the cross-disciplinary nature in the clinical management of sleep disorders.
This book provides a comprehensive overview of this emerging field, while addressing numerous developments in the science of sleep.
Uniquely structured around sleep symptoms rather than disorders, it covers the psychological basis of sleep and includes diagnostic tools and possible therapeutic strategies, emphasizing throughout the role of the clinician in diagnosing and managing disease.
Extensively updated, this second edition also offers:
- Updates on the latest drug therapies
- Illustrative case histories
- A review of sleep disorders, such as narcolepsy, sleep apnea, insomnia, circadian rhythm disorders, restless leg syndrome, and parasomnias
- A review of sleep patients with Parkinsonism, dementia, epilepsy, respiratory diseases and psychiatric disorders
- Evidence-based treatment recommendations incorporating AASM practice parameters
It will be of interest to sleep medicine specialists and trainees as well as neurologists, pulmonologists, psychiatrists and internists.
