Product Description
This volume brings together investigators working on the clinical problem of neuropsychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus, as well as neuroscientists from other disciplines. The presentations provide a current overview and access to a better understanding of cellular events in ischemia, the hypothalamic pituitary adrenal (HPA) axix and hypothalamic pituitary gonadal (HPG) axis changes in systemic inflammation, and the protective and toxic effects of glucocorticoids on the brain. The articles invoke discussion and generate future strategies for diagnosis and therapy. |

Doctors that treat lupus should read this book. by Brett Borowski (Princeton, NJ USA)  4 Stars
March 28, 2000
Published in 1997, this volume is a result of a conference held in September of 1996. It is a collection of over 30 journal articles and poster papers. Because it is aimed at doctors, people comfortable reading medical journal articles will find its coverage of NP-SLE interesting; it's probably a bit on the technical side for most non-MD readers. Any doctor (primary care or specialist) that treats patients with lupus should read this book if they're not already familiar with it's contents. At least that's the opinion of this reviewer, who became acutely aware of the disturbing level of ignorance of NP-SLE among even well-regarded rheumatologists.
