Abstract:
The control of movement is essential for animals traversing complex environments and operating across a range of speeds and gaits. We consider how animals process sensory information and initiate motor responses, primarily focusing on simple motor responses that involve local reflex pathways of feedback and control, rather than the more complex, longer-term responses that require the broader integration of higher centers within the nervous system. We explore how local circuits facilitate decentralized coordination of locomotor rhythm and examine the fundamentals of sensory receptors located in the muscles, tendons, joints, and at the animal’s body surface. These sensors monitor the animal’s physical environment and the action of its muscles. The sensory information is then carried back to the animal’s nervous system by afferent neurons, providing feedback that is integrated at the level of the spinal cord of vertebrates and sensory-motor ganglia of invertebrates.

Abstract:
Part of the Oxford Textbooks in Clinical Neurology series, the Oxford Textbook of Neuromuscular Disorders covers the scientific basis, clinical diagnosis, and treatment of neuromuscular disorders with a particular focus on the most clinically relevant disorders. The resource is organized into seven sections, starting with the general approach to the patient with neuromuscular disorders and then focusing on specific neuromuscular conditions affecting the peripheral nervous system from its origins at the spinal cord anterior horn on its outward course to their effector muscles and the inbound sensory pathways. Chapters on specific neuromuscular conditions are illustrated with typical case histories and their presenting features, allowing readers to put rarer conditions into their clinical context more easily.

Abstract:
Scoliosis is defined as an abnormal curvature of the spine, which, if severe enough, can affect pulmonary or cardiac function and ultimately require surgical repair. There are 3 well-defined types of scoliosis: idiopathic, neuromuscular, and congenital scoliosis. Anesthetic management of children undergoing posterior spinal fusion can be challenging due to patient comorbidities, the need for neuromonitoring, the potential for significant blood loss, and various perioperative complications. In addition, postoperative pain after spinal fusion is known to be severe and often exceeds those reported in other major surgical procedures. To properly care for these patients, it is vital to be knowledgeable about the anesthetic and pain management considerations of patients undergoing posterior spinal fusion.

Abstract:
Early in its course, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is mistaken for a number of other neuromuscular problems, including spinal disease, multifocal motor neuropathy, and even carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) when the weakness is distal and focal. In our patient CTS or cervical spine disease was considered. MRI scan of the appropriate spinal level is important to rule out spinal disease. Nerve conduction studies (NCS) and electromyography (EMG) help to exclude other possibilities and point to the diagnosis of ALS. Later in the clinical course, the clinical picture is pathognomonic with upper and lower motor neuron signs. The differential diagnosis of focal weakness is discussed, as is recognition of the more typical ALS clinical syndrome and familial ALS. NCS and EMG findings in ALS are discussed.

Abstract:
Spinal accessory nerve (SAN) injuries can be idiopathic or iatrogenic. Providers who understand the essential anatomy of the SAN can direct the history, physical exam, and ancillary studies to localize the lesion, while considering the differential diagnosis. The differential diagnosis includes both traumatic and atraumatic causes, including penetrating or blunt trauma to the neck, fracture malunion, glenohumeral instability, brachial neuritis, progressive neuromuscular disease, and cerebrovascular accident. The chapter discusses the timing of, and indications for, operative exploration, with or without nerve repair, as well as the details of the surgical procedure. The authors provide instructive pearls for initial management, establishing patient expectations, and potential complications.

Abstract:
Spinal deformity can be present in children, adolescents, and adults. Early-onset scoliosis, which affects children less than 10 years of age, can be the result of congenital abnormalities or neuromuscular disease or can be idiopathic. Adolescents most commonly develop scoliosis as the result of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. Adult deformity can be the result of progression of conditions present in childhood or adolescence, or from degenerative changes. Many conditions can lead to spine deformity, including congenital causes, trauma, cancer, osteoporosis, postsurgical, and idiopathic causes. Though deformity treatment needs to be tailored to the individual, there are many guiding principles and concepts that apply when treating patients with scoliosis and spinal deformity. This chapter reviews important concepts such the deformity classification systems, deformity parameters, treatment options, and associated risks and benefits.

Abstract:
In children, the most common indication for spinal fusion is significant scoliotic curvature, either idiopathic or as a result of neuromuscular disease. Spinal fusion is high-risk surgery, which can be further complicated by comorbid disease. It carries substantial risk for significant fluid shifts, high intraoperative blood loss, physiologic strain secondary to duration and positioning, severe postoperative pain, and potential spinal cord injury. To mitigate risk and optimize outcomes, these patients should be carefully evaluated by the anesthetic team preoperatively and a comprehensive perioperative plan established. To protect the spinal cord and predict poor neurologic outcomes, the majority of these cases employ intraoperative neuromonitoring. The specific anesthetic agents to allow maximal neuromonitoring signals while ensuring adequate anesthetic depth and pain control should also be established collaboratively. These patients experience severe postoperative pain, and a multimodal approach to therapy should be employed to allow for expedited recovery and decreased length of stay.

Abstract:
Clinical Electromyography in Clinical Practice provides case-based learning of clinical Electromyography (EMG) with a main mission of reducing the gap between theory and practice in the field of electrodiagnostic medicine. The book format includes four introductory chapters that acquaint the discipline and scope of the EMG Examination to the beginners. This include chapters on nerve conduction studies, needle EMG, and specialized testing including late responses, repetitive nerve stimulation and single fiber EMG. Discussion on the electrodiagnostic and clinical EMG findings in the numerous neuromuscular disorders including anterior horn cell disorders, peripheral neuropathies, neuromuscular junction disorders and myopathies. The second part of the book includes comprehensive presentations of 27 cases that encompass the most common disorders encountered in the EMG laboratory and are presented in a similar layout. These are subdivided into (1) focal disorders of the lower extremity, (2) focal disorders of the upper extremity, and (3) generalized neuromuscular disorders. The book focuses on problem solving through analysis of the data obtained on nerve conduction studies and needle EMG. This is meant to be a bedside analysis of data, similar to what occurs in the EMG laboratory on a daily basis. The exact values obtained on nerve conduction studies are examined and the details of the findings on needle EMG are studied. A final diagnosis is then made. This is followed by a detailed discussion of the clinical and electrodiagnostic findings of the disorder. Clinical Electromyography in Clinical Practice is an ideal book for physicians interested in learning and mastering the clinical practice of clinical EMG. This includes specialists in the field of neurology, physical medicine and rehabilitation, orthopedics, hand surgery, neurosurgery, spine, rheumatology and pain management.

Abstract:
The chapter reviews a diversity of neurologic syndromes that are either proven or putatively autoimmune. The disorders affect all levels of the nervous system from neuromuscular junction, autonomic nervous system, spinal cord, brain, to retina. The pathologic substrates underlying the neurologic dysfunction are varied and include vasculitis (Behçets, Susac’s), encephalitis (NMDA receptor encephalitis), channelopathies (myasthenia, LEMS) and even an inflammatory granulomatous disease (neuro-sarcoid). The resulting syndromes cover myriad aspects of clinical neurology and neuropsychiatry. The understanding of and continued identification of autoimmune neurologic disorders is a very active area. With time some of these disorders may be moved to other sections while new disorders will join the autoimmune list. In this chapter we briefly review the emergence of the field of autoimmunity as it relates to the nervous system and make note of some of the open questions that remain.

Abstract:
Even though ether was prepared in 1540 and nitrous oxide in 1774, it was not until the 1840s that these agents were used to induce anaesthesia to enable painless surgery. Modern inhalation anaesthesia has evolved from the public demonstration of ether anaesthesia by William Morton at the Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, United States, on 16 October 1846. In the United Kingdom, from 1847 John Snow applied scientific principles to develop safer anaesthetic practice. Newer and safer agents have replaced ether in most countries. Successful intravenous anaesthesia began with chloral hydrate in 1874; progress was hesitant until the wide acceptance of thiopental from 1934—in turn superseded by propofol from 1985. Regional anaesthesia has evolved from the first use of the local anaesthetic, cocaine, to enable awake eye surgery by Carl Koller in 1884. This progressed to nerve blocks, spinal and epidural anaesthesia with a high degree of sophistication, through provision of better and safer local anaesthetics: lidocaine and bupivacaine. The introduction of neuromuscular blocking agents into anaesthetic practice began with the use of curare by Griffith and Johnson in Montreal in 1942. Muscle relaxation became a component of ‘balanced anaesthesia’—necessitating advances in airway management, including tracheal intubation and safe mechanical ventilation of the lungs. The modern anaesthetic workstation for inhalation anaesthesia has evolved from the early anaesthetic machines over 100 years. Of all the advances in anaesthesia during the past 50 years, developments in monitoring techniques—particularly pulse oximetry and capnography—have probably made the greatest contribution to patient safety. Anaesthetists have embraced enhanced postoperative recovery.

Abstract:
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide and although young male adults are at particular risk, it affects all ages. TBI often occurs in the presence of significant extracranial injuries and immediate management focuses on the ABCs—airway with cervical spine control, breathing, and circulation. Best outcomes are achieved by management in centres that can offer comprehensive neurological critical care and appropriate management for extracranial injuries. If patients require transfer from an admitting hospital to a specialist centre, the transfer must be carried out by an appropriately skilled and equipped transport team. The focus of specific TBI management is on the avoidance of secondary injury to the brain. The principles of management are to avoid hypotension and hypoxia, control intracranial pressure and maintain cerebral perfusion pressure above 60 mmHg. Management of increased intracranial pressure is generally by a stepwise approach starting with sedation and analgesia, lung protective mechanical ventilation to normocarbia in a 30° head-up position, maintenance of oxygenation, and blood pressure. Additional measures include paralysis with a neuromuscular blocking agent, CSF drainage via an external ventricular drain, osmolar therapy with mannitol or hypertonic saline, and moderate hypothermia. Refractory intracranial hypertension may be treated surgically with decompressive craniectomy or medically with high dose barbiturate sedation. General supportive measures include provision of adequate nutrition preferably by the enteral route, thromboembolism prophylaxis, skin and bowel care, and management of all extracranial injuries.
