Sleep Medicine (Oxford Case Histories) (EPUB)

This book presents an illustrative, case-based approach to understanding and managing common sleep disorders. The book covers snoring and sleep-disordered breathing, insomnia, circadian-rhythm disorders, and primary neurological sleep disorders. The case histories are written by experts from the University College London Hospitals who have extensive experience in managing sleep disorders using a multidisciplinary approach. The cases focus on recognizing the presenting features of sleep disorders and their clinical significance by using real-life patients in sleep clinics. The book includes detailed clinical descriptions, salient points, and key learning points with diagrams, line drawings, and photographs to support the text. Each case is a standalone chapter, but they adhere to a common theme of presenting features, clinical features, investigation and treatment. The text is written in a simple language that is easy to follow and simulates real-life discussions about patient cases in clinical practice.
