Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the last edition of this book, 'no evidence of disease activity' (NEDA) has been proposed as a new treatment target, early data on the first pharmacological treatments for progressive MS have emerged, and the first remyelination trial has shown positive effects on nerve repair. It is with this sense of optimism that the authors of 'Fast Facts: Multiple Sclerosis' have detailed the latest developments for use in clinical practice by all members of the multidisciplinary team, including: • a concise overview of investigations and modern diagnostic criteria • a holistic approach to all signs and symptoms, and proactive relapse management • the latest disease-modifying drugs, including when to treat, choice of drug and risk versus benefit. With case histories that will help to guide treatment decisions, discussion of the special considerations for MS during pregnancy, and in children and the elderly, and a detailed outline of emerging therapies, this book will benefit all healthcare professionals involved in the care of patients with this complex disease.

Book excerpt: Multiple sclerosis'MS'strikes about one in a thousand North Americans, usually in early adulthood, when they are building careers and starting families. Because the disease involves the central nervous system, its effects are wide-ranging and difficult to predict. Until the 1990s, we could treat some symptoms of MS but not the disease itself. Now we have several drugs that work against MS, and others are being developed. We still can't cure MS, but we can slow its progress and diminish its effects. This fourth edition of Multiple Sclerosis: The Facts You Need is a comprehensive guide to living with MS, supported by diagrams, case histories, a drug table, and an extensive list of helpful books and organizations. Topics include: '¢ What MS is, and who gets it '¢ How MS is diagnosed '¢ Why the disease affects different people in different ways '¢ How 'relapsing-remitting' MS differs from 'progressive MS' '¢ How people with MS, and their families, can adapt their homes, careers, and lifestyles to cope with the disease '¢ Which treatments work, which don't, and what help is on the horizon Combining authoritative medical advice and practical hands-on tips, Multiple Sclerosis: The Facts You Need is an invaluable guide for anyone affected, directly or indirectly, by this complex disease. Praise for Multiple Sclerosis : 'With so much new scientific information emerging about multiple sclerosis, this book's clear and comprehensive account of these developments is invaluable'¦. A 'must' for persons with MS and their families.' 'William J. McIlroy, MD, FRCPC, National Medical Advisor, MS Society of Canada
