Reviews"This is intended as a teaching resource for physicians wishing to use botulism toxin therapy in their practice and clearly emphasizes the expertise needed to deliver the therapy effectively and safely. Most physicians are not trained to administer botulism toxin and the book is an excellent teaching aid that describes various disorders and provides anatomic diagrams of the affected regions of the body and precise dosing and injection site placement. The book is a straightforward approach to the extraordinary uses of botulism therapy today as well to mastering the technique for its safe and effective use....Each chapter is comprehensive and succinct, written by experts in the particular field of medicine targeted for botulism toxin use. Chapters cover the anatomy and physiology of the particular disorder, and include detailed drawings, graphics, illustrations, and charts pertaining to target areas of injection and proper techniques for injection. They are well referenced and the table of contents and index are concise and helpful....A terrific resource for practitioners in any field." --Doody's Review Service
