This book has been described as the bible of muscle disease, from both a scientific and a clinical point of view. It is a comprehensive work that explains and illustrates in detail all pathological reactions of skeletal muscles that occur in human disease. The microscopic changes are illustrated by histochemistry, immunocytochemistry, resin histology, and electron microscopy. The pathological findings are correlated with the clinical picture whenever possible. The interpretation of the findings is scientifically based. To facilitate this process, the fundamentals of normal histology and biology of the muscle cell are also covered. The book has been thoroughly revised and expanded for this Second Edition to provide up-to-date coverage of the relevant molecular biology and molecular genetics, as well as extensive references. It has been well organized and richly illustrated by the authors, who have been at the forefront of muscle pathology and neuromuscular research for 35 years. This practical reference work is intended for neuropathologists, neurologists, and general pathologists who look at muscle biopsies. It will also serve as an introduction to muscle disease for neurology and pathology residents.

Basic Sciences

Oxford University Press

A comprehensive reference-text on disorders of muscle for clinicians, first published in 1964 and most recently in 1988. The structure of the previous edition is retained, with sections devoted respectively to anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry; pathology; clinical problems in neuromuscular disease; and electrodiagnosis. This updated edition adds two co-editors, George Karpati and David Hilton-Jones. Among the changes in this edition are new chapters on the cell biology of muscle; the molecular biology of muscle; the light microscopic morphological abnormalities in skeletal muscle disease; metabolic and endocrine myopathies; mitochondrial and lipid storage diseases of muscle; and myasthenia and related disorders.

This book has been described as the `bible' of muscle disease, from both a scientific and a clinical point of view. It is a detailed yet practical, up-to-date text of human muscle pathology that not only describes but extensively and beautifully illustrates human myopathology.

This major new edition fulfils the need for a single-volume, up-to-date information resource on the etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of diseases of skeletal muscles, including the muscular dystrophies, mitochondrial myopathies, metabolic myopathies, ion channel disorders, and dysimmune myopathies. As background to the clinical coverage, relevant information on advances in molecular and developmental biology, immunopathology, mitochondrial biology, ion-channel dynamics, cell membrane and signal transduction science, and imaging technology is summarized. Combining essential new knowledge with the fundamentals of history-taking and clinical examination, this extensively illustrated book will continue to be the mainstay for practising physicians and biomedical scientists concerned with muscle disease. Regular updates on the clinical and basic science aspects of muscle disease - written mainly by rising stars of myology - will be published on an accompanying website.
