      abstract = {This book provides state of the art information on the  pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of a range of  inflammatory, autoimmune, and idiopathic neuromuscular  disorders. The opening section discusses the differential  diagnosis of acquired myopathies based on clinical,  electrophysiological, muscle biopsy, and serological  criteria, with special focus on the role of  electromyography and antibody testing. Each of the relevant  clinical entities is then discussed in detail, the coverage  including, for example, myasthenia gravis, polymyositis,  immune-mediated neuropathies, multifocal motor  neuropathies, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, paraneoplastic  neuropathies, and diabetic polyneuropathy. Clear guidance  is provided on currently available treatments, with  descriptions of the latest advances in physiotherapy, drug  therapy, and respiratory care. Other features of this  clinically oriented book are the inclusion of many  illustrative case presentations and contributions by  international authors from leading centers.},
