Multiple Sclerosis for the Practicing Neurologist (World Federation of Neurology Seminars in Clinical Neurology, Volume 5)

Multiple Sclerosis for the Practicing Neurologist, edited by Joel Oger, MD, and Adnan Al-Araji, MB, offers a practical review of this disabling condition, especially focused on the evaluation and treatment of patients in low-resource environments, which lack these new technologies. It is the fifth volume in a series of clinically oriented titles developed under the auspices of the World Federation of Neurology.

This volume gives concise, useful clinical information for practicing neurologists, providing a straightforward overview of each topic and including many representative case studies. Drs. Oger and Al-Araji effectively demonstrate that a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis is possible and acceptable without expensive tests and equipment, such as MRIs. In parallel, treatment options that avoid costly disease-modifying drugs have been stressed throughout. Topics covered include:

Adnan Al-Araji, MB was a Clinical Neurologist and a University Professor at Baghdad University, where he developed the Baghdad Multiple Sclerosis Clinic. He is currently Consultant Neurologist at the University Hospital in Stoke-on-Trent, UK.

Joel Oger, MD, is a professor of medicine at the University of British Columbia.
