Title: Sleep Disorders Medicine: Basic Science, Technical Considerations, and Clinical Aspects by Sudhansu Chokroverty, Robert B. Daroff ISBN: 0-7506-9954-X Publisher: Butterworth-Heinemann Pub. Date: 15 January, 1999 Format: Hardcover Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $155.00 |
Average Customer Rating: 4.5 (2 reviews)
Rating: 4
Summary: Good starter book for sleep medicine (with exceptions)
Comment: The strengths of this book are the "Basic Aspects of Sleep", and "Clinical Aspects" sections. The "Technical Considerations" section needs work. In particular, Chapter 9 has an old description of electrode application techniques, which can be confusing to new practitioners. This same chapter also describes EOG placements with no room for additional (acceptable) options. Also, several other areas of this chapter tends to date the information. Chapter 11 has excellent text on cardiac arrhythmias, however, the graphics are very poor quality.
One table (and chapter) which I enjoyed seeing was the "Drugs that Effect Sleep" table, in chapter 28. This was a short, but well written chapter on "Sleep in Psychiatric Disorders". Also, chapter 32 covered the "autonomic nervous system changes with aging" (pp. 665 and 666) in a concise, but well written manner.
This is a well-written textbook, which I would recommend to anyone new to the field of sleep disorders medicine. However, it still falls slightly short of the target as an all-inclusive sleep disorders textbook (if one truly exists).
Rating: 5
Summary: Required reading for professionals
Comment: This book is an excellent primer, along with the P&P book, for anyone who wishes to learn about the treatment of sleep disorders. In this second edition, you can find some of the most up to date info from internationally recognized sleep disorders experts. A must-read.
