Based on the author's evaluations of 5,000 publications, this reference describes drug-induced neurological disorders which should be considered in the differential diagnosis of various neurological conditions. The book is for health professionals who deal with neurological and psychiatric problems in clinical settings and for pharmaceutical physicians and others who consult to the biopharmaceutical industry. Coverage encompasses drug-induced neurological disorders affecting each area of the nervous system. The symptoms, mechanisms, prevention, and management of each disorder are discussed and a list of responsible drugs is given, rather than a description of all the neurological side effects of individual drugs. The book begins with a critical review of epidemiology and clinical significance and an overview of the pathomechanisms of drug-induced neurological disorders. The next 25 chapters are dedicated to drug-induced conditions such as seizures, neuropsychiatric disorders, and pituitary disorders. This third edition is updated to reflect the state of the field since the last edition was published 10 years ago. There are two new chapters on biological therapies and anesthetics and the bibliography now includes about 2,000 citations. Jain is a neurosurgeon and neurologist who has also been a medical advisor to the pharmaceutical industry. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
