    Summary: This text highlights the importance of common medical comorbidities and illuminates the salient points for treatment, diagnosis, and management of these conditions as they relate particularly to these special populations. Written by experts in both sleep medicine and psychiatry, the text takes a cutting-edge, reader-friendly approach to topics that include sleep disturbances in pregnancy, sleep tele-medicine, sleep disturbances related to difficulties in schools, and substance-induced disturbances. Each chapter follows a consistent format, making it an excellent tool for the busy clinician who is not able to sift through scientific literature or didactic texts.

    Myxoedema coma is a rare emergency needing prompt recognition and urgent treatment before diagnostic confirmation. The pathyphysiology, clinical features, differential diagnosis, investigations and treatment are described. Triiodothyronine in small doses intravenously with continuous cardiac monitoring is suggested. Slow rewarming, care of the airway and prompt treatment of hypoventilation by assisted ventilation, the use of hydrocortisone and the avoidance of sedatives, vasopressors and overloading are also discussed, as is prevention. This emergency occurs in elderly people often with co-existent disease and thus only close attention to detail will be rewarded with improving results and falling mortality figures.
