520 _aMultiple Sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory, often progressive, and potentially disabling disease of the central nervous system. This concise, clinically focused volume is tailored to internists and primary care physicians. It covers current approaches and new developments in the diagnosis, treatment and management of MS, including both early and advanced stages of the disease. The book offers in-depth coverage of special populations, as well as the more unusual manifestations of MS, which are less familiar to the internal medicine audience. It will also address the role of imaging studies in the diagnosis, differential diagnosis and monitoring of the progression of MS. In addition to providing up-to-date information on pharmacological therapies for MS, the book also describes an array of non-pharmacological treatment options.
