Features: This book is one of the volumes in the large-scale, multi-volume advanced reference work Neurology, meticulously planned and published by the People's Military Medical Press. It is edited by He Fengsheng, a renowned expert in occupational health and hygiene in China, and Xue Qimeng, a distinguished neurology professor. The book is divided into two parts. The first part covers toxic neurological diseases, systematically introducing the fundamentals of neurotoxicology, the clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and treatment of toxic neurological diseases. It provides detailed discussions on the etiology, toxicokinetics, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and treatment of poisoning caused by metals, metalloids, organic solvents, pesticides, non-pesticidal organophosphorus compounds, natural biological toxins, and drugs, emphasizing the manifestations and characteristics of the nervous system. The second part focuses on metabolic neurological diseases, covering conditions such as sphingolipidoses, mucopolysaccharidoses, glycolipidoses, peroxisomal diseases, lysosomal diseases, lipoprotein, proteolipid, and glycoprotein metabolic disorders, amino acid metabolic disorders, and nucleic acid metabolic disorders, among others. This book serves as a reference for physicians in neurology, neurosurgery, internal medicine, pediatrics, emergency medicine, occupational health testing, as well as researchers in genetic medicine, occupational and environmental medicine, metabolic diseases, pathophysiology, and biochemistry. It is also suitable for undergraduate and graduate students at medical schools for study purposes.
