Each volume lists source notes and organizations to contact. A glossary, index, and ideas for further reading are also included. The color photographs and sidebars help to make the information in the dense text more easily understood, and personal stories provide insight into how individuals deal with their disease. In Epilepsy, different types of seizures and the varied triggers are explained. The many personal stories give hope to those who have been diagnosed with epilepsy and the historical perspective on diagnosis and treatment show how far we have come in the medical field. In MRSA, details are given on how the infection is contracted, showing how many are at risk. Prevention strategies are shared, not only for medical personnel but also for the average person. These volumes will be helpful to students doing research and to those diagnosed with the disease who are looking for a better understanding.

Navigating life with epilepsy / by Spencer, David C.,1963 December 12-author.(CARDINAL)412714;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 257-259) and index.About the AAN's Neurology Now Book Series -- PrefaceI. Introduction -- What are seizures and what is epilepsy? -- Living with and managing epilepsy -- How and why do seizures occur? -- Who develops epilepsy? -- Establishing the diagnosis of epilepsy -- Testing for epilepsy -- Treatment of epilepsy -- Antiepileptic drug therapy -- Side effects -- Beyond AEDs : surgical therapy -- Beyond AEDs : other therapeutic options -- Treatment in special populations and situations."Navigating Life with Epilepsy aims to provide clear and reliable information about epilepsy, including "what" (definition), "how" (pathophysiology), "who" (epidemiology), and "why" (etiology). The volume guides the reader through current approaches to diagnosis (including a review of diagnostic tests) and treatment, and shares patient experiences and advice on navigating the myriad psychosocial challenges associated with epilepsy. Epilepsy is a heterogeneous disorder with many causes and a wide spectrum of severity. This text will focus on issues relevant to adolescents and adults with epilepsy; there are many guides for parents of children with epilepsy and issues specific to younger children are beyond the scope of this book. The focus is on translation of current medical knowledge to the lay reader. However, because epilepsy can have profound psychosocial consequences, the book aims to extend beyond the bounds of a medical handbook to include discussion of issues that are of high priority to patients, including those surrounding, driving, work, and relationships"--
