The opening section discusses the differential diagnosis of acquired myopathies based on clinical, electrophysiological, muscle biopsy, and serological criteria, with special focus on the role of electromyography and antibody testing. Each of the relevant clinical entities is then discussed in detail, the coverage including, for example, myasthenia gravis, polymyositis, immune-mediated neuropathies, multifocal motor neuropathies, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, paraneoplastic neuropathies, and diabetic polyneuropathy. Clear guidance is provided on currently available treatments, with descriptions of the latest advances in physiotherapy, drug therapy, and respiratory care. Other features of this clinically oriented book are the inclusion of many illustrative case presentations and contributions by international authors from leading centers. 606 $aNeurology 606 $aPathology 606 $aRespiratory organs$xDiseases 606 $aNeurology 606 $aPathology 606 $aPneumology 615 0$aNeurology. 615 0$aPathology. 615 0$aRespiratory organs$xDiseases. 615 14$aNeurology. 615 24$aPathology. 615 24$aPneumology. 676 $a616.8 702 $aAngelini$b Corrado$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254556403321 996 $aAcquired Neuromuscular Disorders$92507332 997 $aUNINA
