Principles and Practice of Sleep Medicine in the Child

Richard Ferber (M.D.)

This book is for any professional who sees children (or parents of children) with sleep problems including pediatricians, primary care physicians, nurses, mental health workers, pulmonologists, neurologists, and specialists in sleep medicine. Although sleep disorders in children are very common, until recently the body of knowledge in pediatric sleep medicine was too limited to warrant a textbook devoted to this topic. In recent years, a robust scientifically based body of knowledge has emerged, and the tools to diagnose and effectively treat children with sleep disorders are now available. The first part of this book reviews normal sleep patterns and clinical assessment techniques in the child. The second part deals with specific problems related to the sleep period, problems that may be developmental, neurologic, psychologic/psychiatric, or medical in origin. Only by understanding the interactions among normal sleep patterns, parental desires, patient needs, and pathologic states can a rational approach to the evaluation and treatment of sleep disorders in children become feasible.

Neurología Pediátrica

Natalio Fejerman

Transcurridos 8 años desde la 2a edición de "Neurología Pediátrica" se nos impone nuevamente actualizar el material teniendo en cuenta las crecientes innovaciones en nuestra especialidad. En realidad el índice temático no ha variado prácticamente, pero existen avances muy significativos en cada uno de los capítulos. Por ejemplo, se amplia el espectro de las bases genéticas de las enfermedades neurológicas y se incluye información sobre neurotransmisores y neuroreceptores. Los estudios por imágenes estructurales y funcionales cerebrales no dejan de sorprendernos ante cada nueva técnica. La neurología fetal y neonatal sigue su curso creativo y la detección temprana de los errores congénitos del metabolismo nos acerca a las nuevas posibilidades terapéuticas de reemplazos enzimáticos. Se reconocen ahora nuevas patologías dentro de las encefalopatias progresivas, tanto las que comprometen a la sustancia gris como las que comprometen a las sustancia blanca. También existen enfoques modernos respecto al estudio y tratamiento de los trastornos de movimiento, de las epilepsias, de las enfermedades desmielinizantes, etc. Los avances en la detección del autismo y los correlatos genéticos de éste y otros trastornos del desarrollo como el ADHD y la dislexia abren nuevos rumbos a la comprensión de sus mecanismos y a eventuales conductas terapéuticas.

Based on these introductory chapters, it discusses the relevant sleep disorders, including insomnia, sleep-related breathing disorders, hypersomnia, sleep-wake-rhythm disorders, parasomnia, sleep related movement disorders, and secondary sleep disorders, as well as various isolated symptoms. In addition, an entire chapter is dedicated to sleep disorders in children. Drawing on the long-time experience of five board-certified sleep physicians with different professional backgrounds, the book reflects the interdisciplinary nature of sleep medicine. It includes the current international classification systems as well as scoring rules and clinical guidelines. It is intended for physicians and therapists from various specialities, including internal medicine (e.g. pulmonology and cardiology), psychology, psychiatry, neurology, paediatrics, otorhinolaryngology and general medicine who are interested in sleep medicine.
