Since the last edition of this book, 'no evidence of disease activity' (NEDA) has been proposed as a new treatment target, early data on the first pharmacological treatments for progressive MS have emerged, and the first remyelination trial has shown positive effects on nerve repair. It is with this sense of optimism that the authors of 'Fast Facts: Multiple Sclerosis' have detailed the latest developments for use in clinical practice by all members of the multidisciplinary team, including: • a concise overview of investigations and modern diagnostic criteria • a holistic approach to all signs and symptoms, and proactive relapse management • the latest disease-modifying drugs, including when to treat, choice of drug and risk versus benefit. With case histories that will help to guide treatment decisions, discussion of the special considerations for MS during pregnancy, and in children and the elderly, and a detailed outline of emerging therapies, this book will benefit all healthcare professionals involved in the care of patients with this complex disease.

Abnormalities of thyroid function rival diabetes mellitus in terms of prevalence and can affect any system in the body. In the UK and North America it is estimated that palpable thyroid nodules are present in 1 in 20 of the population, and in the UK alone 20,000 tests are carried out each year in clinical chemistry laboratories. Thus, all doctors can expect to encounter thyroid disease in one form or another. Thyroid disorders are generally very responsive to treatment, but there are traps for the unwary - not least because of the frequent atypical presentations and the widespread prevalence of subclinical disease. 'Fast Facts: Thyroid Disorders' is written by two leading experts of international standing who share a wealth of clinical and research experience. The text, which is comprehensively illustrated to make core clinical information easily accessible, is a concise and practical guide for all who manage patients with these common conditions. • A concise guide to the recognition of thyroid disorders and the selection of appropriate thyroid function tests • Provides expert advice on when to test, when to treat and when to refer, ensuring rapid initiation of appropriate therapy • Highlights the particular challenges posed by thyroid disease during pregnancy • Covers the management of thyroid eye conditions • Sound, dependable advice for the healthcare team and patient in coping with these common conditions Contents: • Glossary • Introduction • Thyroid physiology and function tests • Hyperthyroidism: etiology and presentation • Hyperthyroidism: diagnosis and management • Hypothyroidism: etiology and presentation • Hypothyroidism: diagnosis and management • Pregnancy and the thyroid • Thyroid nodules and thyroid cancer
