Back Cover Text This ambitious and comprehensive manual represents an essential contribution to our current understanding of interactions between heart and brain, a research topic generating growing interest. Despite the increasing awareness that neural mechanisms are the primary cause of cardiac disease and its progression, therapy continues to focus on end-organ protection and does not approach the neural core of the problem. Growing public health problems such as heart failure are still treated with autonomic drugs that are 30-40 years old and simply act on cardiac receptors. However, it has now been shown that the progression of ischemic heart disease to heart failure is mainly due to abnormal central responses to incipient cardiac disease, with neural activation the primary cause rather than the consequence of cardiac remodeling. Written by leading international experts in their respective research areas, it presents a variety of perspectives on the core topic: from social and philosophical to gender-related aspects. Designed for a broad readership, it includes dedicated sections for cardiologists, psychiatrists, neurologists and psychotherapists looking for a more insightful and targeted approach to neuro-cardiovascular disease. .

This book systematically reviews sensory and motor nerve conduction studies on the ulnar nerve, from pilot human studies of peripheral nerve conduction in the 1950s through to the most recent scientific evidence. Precise descriptions are provided of approx. 70 nerve conduction techniques that were reproduced in the laboratory, with organization of the techniques according to practical criteria for ease of reference. Particular attention is devoted to those techniques that have shown higher sensitivity and specificity in diagnosis of compressive mononeuropathies, such as ulnar neuropathy at the elbow or wrist. Normal and pathological values derived from the original articles and the subsequent literature are presented, and the wealth of illustrative material facilitates comprehension and reproduction of each technique. The volume is completed by a detailed, well-illustrated glossary explaining the more commonly used terms in electrodiagnostic medicine. This book will appeal to novice and experienced neurologists, students, clinical neurophysiology technicians, and rehabilitation physicians. It represents a logical extension of the volumes on the median nerve published by Springer.

This book delves into the multifaceted world of sleep apnea, presenting the latest advancements, challenges, and perspectives in the field. The book covers various topics, including neuro-stimulator use, positive airway pressure therapies, non-PAP and non-surgical treatments, surgical interventions, diagnosis and management of various sleep apnea phenotypes and comorbidities, and special populations such as pediatric and intensive care unit patients. The book discusses the pathophysiology and mechanisms underlying sleep apnea, examining the role of circulating miRNA as a potential biomarker for diagnosis. It also addresses the adverse health consequences associated with sleep apnea, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, and hypertension. Furthermore, the book explores the application of telemedicine and wearable technologies in diagnosing and treating sleep apnea, as well as the impact of external factors such as the COVID-19 pandemic and traffic safety concerns related to sleep deprivation and sleep disorders. The book also highlights the importance of perioperative assessment and management of patients with sleep disorders, the role of REM sleep in sleep disorders, recent advances in sleep during pregnancy and postpartum, and the influence of sleep disturbances on hospitalized and intensive care unit patients. With contributions from experts in the field, this book offers valuable insights into the current state of sleep apnea research and practice, serving as a solid foundation for healthcare professionals, researchers, and students interested in understanding and addressing this prevalent sleep disorder. By providing a comprehensive overview of the field, this book aims to inspire further research and innovation in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of sleep apnea and related sleep disorders. .
