Abstract
edited by Robert S. Bedlack, Hiroshi Mitsumoto, Demos Medical Publishing, 2013, $65 Disease-modifying therapy for people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is limited to riluzole, which has been available for 15 years and prolongs survival by 10% without appreciable benefit in function. Yet effective organization of clinical care, drawing on a wide variety of allied disciplines, can support patients and families through the course of the disease by maximizing function, limiting excess morbidity, and preparing patients for challenging decisions regarding treatment and end-of-life care. Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: A Patient Care Guide for Clinicians is a state-of-the-art review of optimal ALS care.
