自始至终。与本书中的许多其他章节一样，“周期性麻痹和相关肌强直疾病”一章简洁、写得很好，读起来很愉快。矛盾的是，虽然高钾性周期性麻痹、先天性副肌强直和先天性肌强直的染色体位置和缺陷基因已经确定，但在更常见的疾病低钾性周期性麻痹中，它们尚未确定。 “贝尔麻痹和特发性颅神经炎”这一章夸大了贝尔麻痹与其他更微妙的颅神经炎表现相关的频率。罗伯特·G·米勒 (Robert G. Miller) 对“慢性疲劳综合症”的讨论明智而公正，强调了正常诊断研究的重要性、抑郁症的频率和连贯的治疗方法：“我对诊断的相对良性性质以及大多数患者自发改善的强烈趋势提供了充分的保证。”这本书不仅仅是参考资料。简短的各个主题章节可以舒适、有益且愉快地完整阅读。
throughout. The chapter, “Periodic Paralyses and Related Myotonic Diseases,” is, like many others in this book, succinct, well written, and a pleasure to read. It is a paradox that while chromosome location and defective gene are already established for hyperkalemic periodic paralysis, paramyotonia congenita, and myotonia congenita, they have not been determined in the case of the more common disorder, hypokalemic periodic paralysis. The chapter, “Bell’s Palsy and Idiopathic Cranial Neuritis,” overstates the frequency with which Bell’s palsy is found in association with other, more subtle manifestations of cranial neuritis. Robert G. Miller’s discussion of the “Chronic Fatigue Syndrome” is intelligent and fair, emphasizing the importance of normal diagnostic studies, the frequency of depression, and a coherent therapeutic approach: “I provide substantial reassurance about the relatively benign nature of the diagnosis and the strong tendency towards spontaneous improvement in the majority of patients.” This is a volume that you will want to use as more than a reference source. The brief individual subject chapters can comfortably, profitably, and pleasantly be read in full.
