    Summary: This concise text provides a quick reference to clinically relevant material in both sleep medicine and neuromuscular medicine. Divided into ten chapters, the book begins by laying the foundation for understanding sleep issues in neuromuscular disorders and moves on to offering an overview of sleep disorders in various neuromuscular conditions. Chapters feature practical advice in managing sleep issues, including an overview of noninvasive ventilation. The final part of the book provides useful tables, charts, pictures and flow charts for quick reference in sleep medicine and neuromuscular medicine. Filling a critical gap in the literature, this guide helps anyone treating neuromuscular patients understand the basics of sleep and neuromuscular disorders and its management.

    The association of enterobacteria with mouse intestinal mucosa has been investigated by pumping heat-killed, radioactively-labelled bacteria through the gut lumen in vitro. Approximately 20 cm of the small intestine proximal to the ileo-caecal valve was rinsed, excised and maintained in an organ bath. By using two different bacteria labelled with different radioactive isotopes, the relative association of the two bacterial pumped through the same piece of gut was determined. Cross-labelling showed that choice of isotope did not affect the association. Salmonella typhimurium 395 MR10 was used as reference and the other bacteria investigated related to it. S. typhimurium MR10 and Escherichia coli O 14 K7, which are relatively lipophilic, showed greater association than S. typhimurium 395 MS and E. coli O 111 K58, which are more hydrophilic. Prolonged incubation of bacteria with the length of intestine in vitro leading to damage of the brush border of the mucosal epithelium enhanced the association of the bacteria. These data suggest that similar physico-chemical surface properies govern the association certain enterobacteria to the intestinal mucosa as in phagocytosis with professional phagocytes.
