Parkinsonian Syndrome - Basics to Mastery (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Parkinsonian syndrome isn't one disorder but a family of movement conditions unified by bradykinesia with tremor and/or rigidity, served by distinct causes and trajectories. This book walks clinicians, trainees, and informed caregivers from foundation to finesse: how to elicit the right history, stage motor and non-motor features, separate idiopathic Parkinson's disease from atypical or secondary parkinsonism (e.g., MSA, PSP, CBD, vascular, drug-induced), and build pragmatic, patient-centered plans. You'll move from pattern recognition to mechanism-guided reasoning, using checklists, mini-algorithms, and "if-this-then-that" care flows. A recurring vignette follows a retired teacher whose shrinking handwriting, asymmetric slowness, and dream enactment spark a differential that evolves as new clues appear-mirroring real-world uncertainty and showing how to pivot when red flags emerge. Pharmacology is paired with rehabilitation, speech and swallow strategies, fall prevention, and caregiver coaching, so readers can translate knowledge into day-one practice.

✓ Step-by-step exam scripts for bradykinesia, rigidity, tremor typing, gait and postural testing ✓ Differential blueprints contrasting PD with MSA, PSP, CBD, DLB, vascular and drug-induced causes ✓ Medication playbook: levodopa optimization, motor fluctuation troubleshooting, and when to add on ✓ Non-motor mastery: sleep, mood, cognition, autonomic issues, constipation, sialorrhea, orthostasis ✓ Work-ready tools: red-flag tables, imaging pearls (e.g., dopamine transporter studies), and referral cues ✓ Integrated care pathways combining rehab, fall-risk engineering, nutrition, communication, and caregiver support
