Respiratory Neurobiology: Physiology and Clinical Disorders, Part Two, Volume 189 is one of two volumes on the neurology of breathing. This volume focuses on pathologies attributable to abnormalities of the neural control of breathing, breathing problems that may occur in neurological diseases, and the neurological complications of respiratory diseases, while volume one focuses on the neurophysiology of breathing.

Section I. Assessment of the respiratory system in neurological disorders 1. Pulmonary function testing in neuromuscular disease 2. Electrophysiological assessment of respiratory function

Section II. Primary breathing disorders 3. Apnea of prematurity and sudden infant death syndrome 4. Developmental diseases affecting the respiratory system: CCHS and ROHHAD 5. Central sleep apnea 6. Obstructive sleep apnea

Section III. Neurological disorders affecting respiration 7. Breathing disturbances in Rett syndrome 8. Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy: Respiratory mechanisms 9. Multiple Sclerosis and related disorders 10. Stroke and breathing 11. Breathing disorders in neurodegenerative diseases 12. Spinal cord injury and degenerative cervical myelopathy 13. Motor neuron, peripheral nerve, and neuromuscular junction disorders 14. Phrenic nerve paralysis and phrenic nerve reconstruction surgery

Section IV. Cardiovascular disorders affecting respiration 15. Sleep and breathing disorders in heart failure 16. Neurological effects of respiratory dysfunction 17. Neurologic complications of coronavirus and other respiratory viral infections

Section V. Treatment considerations for respiratory dysfunction in neurological disorders 18. Noninvasive and invasive mechanical ventilation for neurologic disorders

Subject Areas: Neurosciences [PSAN], Neurology & clinical neurophysiology [MJN], Endocrinology [MJG], Medical research [MBGR]
