Clinical guideposts for the practicing neurologist

Neurologists in practice are confronted by the worldwide epidemic of obesity as a comorbidity. Clark et al. (p. 45) assessed the safety and efficacy of fosphenytoin loading doses relative to body mass index (BMI) in patients with epilepsy and report inconclusive evidence that BMI influences pharmacokinetics or adverse effects. Pavwoski and Shelgikar (p. 77) offer practical considerations and outline current treatment strategies to manage obstructive sleep apnea in patients with neurologic disease.
