Beskrivning

This book provides accurate concise information concerning the evaluation and the treatment of patients with sleep problems. Because management of sleep disorders requires an understanding of sleep itself, the first portion discribes aspects of normal sleep. The remainder of the book follows an approach based on the clinical method, in which the chief complaints (the symptoms and the signs) and the psychosocial and the medical background of the individual are used, in conjunction with an understanding of the neurobiological and psychological basis of sleep disorders, to formulate a clinical assessment. The results of polysomnographic studies and other laboratory tests supplement and redefine clinical information and assist with consideration of treatment options.

"His latest book, Sleep Medicine: Normal Sleep and Its Disorders presents a concise and comprehensive text for clinicians, researchers and students." --New York Times News Service"Sleep Medicine is affable with respect to its content, organization, and writing style. It appeals to a wide audience, including medical students, housestaff, and physicians of all disciplines. With increasing awareness of normal and pathological states of sleep, this text will prove and indispensable resource; it belongs on every bookshelf." --American Neurological Association"A book dealing with a topic as interesting as sleep disorders should not be hynotic. Be warned: bedtime reading of Aldrich's clearly written, succint, and comprehensive review Sleep Medicine may cause insomnia... A single author and standardized layout greatly enhance the readability... Many chapters and sections begin with a terrific literary and historical quotations. I highly recommend Sleep Medicine not just to neurologists but to anyphysician whose patients ask for help with sleep disorders, including family physicians, internists and subspecialists, pediatricians, and otolaryngologists. Your patients will sleep better."--JAMA"Each chapter is a systemic account of the most salient clinical features illustrated with a case history, functional investigations, epidemiological data, biological basis, diagnostic evaluation, management, conclusion and a solid list of new and classic bibliography.... This volume that shines in knowledge and single editor harmony is highly recommended."--Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences"This is an excellent contribution to the growing field of sleep medicine. . . the content, coupled with the references, provide the reader with a wealth of information in a handy and quite readable form. This is definitely a worthwile study for the sleep clinician and a good resource for all other interested physicians and allied health personnel." Doody's Electronic Journal
