Beschreibung:
An essential resource for all physicians treating patients with neurological disease who are pregnant, or who are planning to become pregnant, and for those interested in women's neurology.In Memory of Dr. Autumn KleinThe creation of this textbook was initiated by Dr. Autumn Klein, a pioneer of Women's Neurology. She developed the format, and carefully chose the authors from an elite group of specialists from across the United States and abroad. She unexpectedly passed away on April 17, 2013 before the completion of the book. In her memory, the authors of the book chose to complete the textbook as a legacy to her passion for the field of Women's Neurology.Autumn is fondly remembered for her selfless devotion to the patients for whom she cared. She made herself available for consultation on obstetrical patients 24/7. It was always reassuring to have her respond to an unexpected neurologic event. She educated her patients about their neurologic disease and about what to expect during pregnancy and motherhood. She collaborated extensively with obstetricians, anesthesiologists, and epilepsy staff to provide comprehensive patient care. With this first edition of Neurologic Illness in Pregnancy we hope that Autumn's vision will be fulfilled and that it will create a legacy that carries on for generations to come.
