Description

This second edition seeks to enable the reader to apply management techniques, use noninvasive laboratory evaluation, and find the answers to questions. Part I focuses on the scientific basis of clinical autonomic disorders, exploring the autonomic regulation of circulation, temperature and sweating, sexual function, gastrointestinal motility, and immune function. Part II analyzes advances in the evaluation of autonomic function, defining the values and limitations of various tests. Part III explores a range of autonomic disorders, including: disorders of the pupil, ciliary body, and lacrimal apparatus; diabetic autonomic neuropathy; familial dysautonomia; MSA and PAF; and other extrapyramidal disorders.
