A Video Atlas of Neuromuscular Disorders is the essential reference on adult neuromuscular disorders and their diagnosis and treatment. Written with the busy Fellow, Resident, and clinician in mind, the work utilizes real clinic videos as the key teaching tools to demonstrate clinical symptoms and how neurologists identify and diagnose them. Perfect for preparing for the neurology and neuromuscular boards, this book and accompanying videos have become an invaluable resource for neurology and neuromuscular training programs, while catering to the too-busy and often-overwhelmed modern doctor with its straightforward structure and language. All videos are supplemented with challenging multiple-choice questions to test the reader's knowledge and understanding. Each chapter is organized by cases, which start with a video, a description of the patient's symptoms, multiple choice questions, the diagnosis, and key references. This third edition, comprised of a total of 311 video cases (46 new), has several exciting new features and text to reflect the rapid advancement of medicine. The COVID-19 pandemic (caused by SARS-CoV-2) imposed tremendous challenges to the field of neurology and new videos are included to illustrate COVID-19 related neuromuscular disorders such as neuropathies and plexopathies. Videos also explore the pros and cons of virtual medicine, a practice expedited by the pandemic. A new chapter on the use of ultrasound, with 19 cases of videos and discussion, is now included. Videos of muscle and nerve biopsies are also included, as well as information about several new medications for myasthenia gravis, ALS and amyloidosis.

Placebo Effects in Neurology delves into the intriguing phenomenon of placebos and their profound impact on neurological disorders. This book explores how placebo effects, occurring both in clinical trials and real-world practice, influence therapeutic outcomes, doctor-patient relationships, and symptom perception. The content provides insights into psychobiological mechanisms and specific conditions such as Parkinson’s disease and migraine while addressing ethical and methodological concerns. With discussions on both deceptive and open-label placebos, the book invites readers to reconsider the potential of this underappreciated tool in neurology, offering a bridge between scientific research and practical application in the treatment of various conditions.Beyond its focus on placebo mechanisms, the book examines their role in alleviating symptoms of neuropathic pain, peripheral neuropathies, fatigue, and neuropsychiatric disorders like depression and anxiety. It also presents a methodological lens on how placebos are used to validate treatments in trials while debating their ethical implications. By weaving together science, ethics, and practical insights, Placebo Effects in Neurology stands out as a compelling resource for clinicians, researchers, and anyone interested in the nuanced intersection of psychology and neurology.Reviews placebo effects for individual neurological and psychiatric disordersCovers benefits in therapeutic outcomes, symptom perception, and doctor-patient relationshipsDiscusses the psychobiological mechanisms of how placebos workConsiders minimizing placebo and nocebo effects in clinical trials

In this issue of Neurologic Clinics, guest editors Drs. Aziz Shaibani and Fabrizio Benedetti bring their considerable expertise to the topic of Placebo Responses in Neurologic Clinical Trials. Top experts discuss the placebo response (not just the placebo effect) across a variety of neurologic clinical trials, providing an important overview of the occurrence and magnitude of the placebo response in different neurologic disorders. This issue offers key information for clinical trials in neurology as well as for clinical practice.
