  Antipsychotic Trials in Schizophrenia: The CATIE Project

  9,900.00₹ 3,560.00₹

  From the beginning of the use of chlorpromazine and other neuroleptic drugs, signs of parkinsonism (e.g., tremor, rigidity, and bradykinesia) were observed as frequent side effects and, despite numerous studies to the contrary, were considered to be inextricably linked to therapeutic antipsychotic effects. Within a few years, investigators also observed an association between these drugs and abnormal involuntary movements that came to be known as tardive dyskinesia (TD). These and other drug-induced extrapyramidal side effects (EPS) can be mistaken for or worsen primary psychotic symptoms, are sometimes irreversible or lethal, often necessitate additional burdensome side effects from antiparkinsonian agents, can be disfiguring and stigmatizing, and have been shown to influence compliance, relapse, and rehospitalization. As a result, EPS dominated concerns about tolerability of antipsychotic drugs for decades, and their elimination served as a major impetus for new drug research and development. In 1988, clozapine was found to have broader efficacy in schizophrenia with negligible EPS, stimulating the search for other antipsychotics with improved tolerability. The drugs that were introduced after clozapine came to be known as atypical or second-generation antipsychotics (SGAs) while the earlier drugs were now called typical or first-generation antipsychotics (FGAs). Industry-sponsored clinical trials suggested that SGAs were superior to FGAs in the treatment of schizophrenia, reducing psychotic symptoms and causing fewer EPS. Cumulative evidence supporting reduced liability for EPS with SGAs contributed to the widespread dominance of these drugs in the marketplace and fostered the concept of “atypicality” in the mechanism of action of the new drugs.

  Back Pain (Oxford Pain Management Library)

  2,295.00₹ 995.00₹

  Back pain is one of the most common reasons cited by patients seeking medical help, and it is a leading cause of time off work and long term disability. Causes of back pain are complex and many health care professionals devote a substantial amount of their time dealing with it. The initiating event leading to back pain is often compounded by other factors leading to maladaptive behaviour and prolongation of pain. This pocketbook will summarise the current literature on management of back pain and provide evidence-based, practical guidelines for clinicians.

  Handbook of Neuropsychology,Emotional Behavior and Its Disorders

  7,900.00₹ 5,200.00₹

  The fifth volume in this series covers emotional behavior and its disorders. The introductory chapters deal with the basic theoretical and anatomical issues in the neuropsychological study of emotions. Both neurobiologically oriented and cognitively oriented theories of emotion are presented and both the detailed anatomo-clinical and theoretical aspects of the anatomical substrates of emotions are covered in depth. The central part of this volume addresses the problem of hemispheric asymmetries in emotional representation. The claims for right hemisphere dominance for emotions and emotional communication are contrasted with those assuming a different hemispheric specialization for positive vs. negative emotions and with models assuming asymmetric cortico-limbic control of human emotion. A final group of chapters examines the neural mechanisms of the stress response and reviews the main emotional disorders. Individual differences in the hemispheric control of the stress response are discussed and the neural mechanisms of affective/emotional disturbances are approached with neuropsychological methods and with functional neuroimaging techniques.

  Handbook of the Neuroscience of Aging

  13,990.00₹ 8,700.00₹

  A single volume of 85 articles, the Handbook of the Neurobiology of Aging is an authoritative selection of relevant chapters from the Encyclopedia of Neuroscience, the most comprehensive source of neuroscience information assembled to date (AP Oct 2008).

  The study of neural aging is a central topic in neuroscience, neuropsychology and gerontology. Some well-known age-related neurological diseases include Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s, but even more common are problems of aging which are not due to disease but to more subtle impairments in neurobiological systems, including impairments in vision, memory loss, muscle weakening, and loss of reproductive functions, changes in body weight, and sleeplessness. As the average age of our society increases, diseases of aging become more common and conditions associated with aging need more attention by doctors and researchers.

  This book offers an overview of topics related to neurobiological impairments which are related to the aging brain and nervous system. Coverage ranges from animal models to human imaging, fundamentals of age-related neural changes and pathological neurodegeneration, and offers an overview of structural and functional changes at the molecular, systems, and cognitive levels. Key pathologies such as memory disorders, Alzheimer’s, dementia, Down syndrome, Parkinson’s, and stroke are discussed, as are cutting edge interventions such as cell replacement therapy and deep brain stimulation. There is no other current single-volume reference with such a comprehensive coverage and depth.
