Neurology

An introductory textbook of neurology in the Illustrated Colour Text series, making full use of all the usual features of the series - double page spreads, short paragraphs, summary boxes, attractive use of colour etc. Clear explanation of neurological examination - often found very taxing by students Demonstrates how to approach common neurological presentations, such as blackouts and numbness, before moving on to a comprehensive coverage of syndromes and diseases Concentrates on the core curriculum which the medical student really needs to know Updated management in the light of new evidence and new drugs most notably in Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy and multiple sclerosis Images, particularly MRI scans, updated with more modern and higher resolution images Includes a new double-page spread on Sleep Extra material added on giddiness to include the head thrust test and Epley’s manoeuvre

This brand-new revision aid has been designed specifically to help medical students and early post-graduate doctors learn and remember pertinent information about various neurological conditions through pictorial representation, and will be invaluable throughout medical studies and particularly useful in the pressured run-up to final and post-graduate examinations. The highly-structured information is presented in a consistent, double-page format. Each condition is represented by a characterful and memorable visual mnemonic, accompanied by a concise, high-yield review covering definition, aetiology, epidemiology, presentation, investigation, management, complications and prognosis. Over 40 common conditions are included, organized alphabetically for ease of reference. Neurology is often viewed as a challenging subject to learn. By utilising visual imagery to aid memory and recall of important information, the author brings a refreshing new approach to knowledge consolidation.

Neurology: An Oxford Core Text introduces neurology to the medical student in a concise, innovative and memorable way. Praised by lecturers and students alike for breaking down the barriers which conventionally surround this difficult subject, this book is highly recommended reading for medical undergraduates. It covers the most important neurological problems in clinical practice, highlights the crucial neuroanatomical and neurophysiological background, introduces the pathogenesis of neurological disease, discusses treatment and management, and also covers ethical and rehabilitation issues. Neurology: An Oxford Core Text * introduces the major neurological diseases * deals with weakness, visual symptoms, headaches, blackouts and stroke * covers the general principles of history-taking * gives practical advice on how to perform simple neurological examination * has detailed instructions on examination in particular clinical circumstances * includes 24 case histories * is fully illustrated with clinical photos and line diagrams It is an essential purchase for all medical students and those looking for a high quality introduction to the subject.

Neurology is a complex field with many nuances specific to individual patients. Each patient's neurological condition can present uniquely, influenced by a myriad of factors such as genetics, lifestyle, comorbidities, and environmental exposures. This complexity means the traditional method of learning medicine by subject matter often fails to capture the essence of real-world clinical practice. Like all skills, proficiency in neurology is acquired through mindful practice. This involves deep analysis of each case, corrected in real-time by gold standards such as genetic tests, imaging, and pathology. To maintain and expand one's expertise, this process must be continually practiced throughout one's career. Neurology: One Patient at a Time is a collection of clinical commentaries written by Dr. Martin A. Samuels based on cases covered in the daily "Morning Report", which he initiated in the department of Neurology at Brigham and Women's. Each case is meticulously analyzed, with relevant references to literature and his personal judgment as one of the world's leading neurologists. This blend of evidence-based concepts and expert interpretation allows for a more holistic approach to patient care. Containing more than 70 representative patient cases, Neurology: One Patient at a Time provides invaluable insights for trainees and experts alike.

neurology A fully updated and authoritative neurology resource The Queen Square Textbook has established itself as a favourite companion to clinical neurosciences training and teaching around the world, whilst retaining its role as an invaluable reference guide for physicians and other healthcare professionals working in neurology, general medicine and related specialties. The book continues to reflect the core values essential to the practice of clinical neurology in the 21st century. The third edition has been extensively revised and updated to take account of the rapid pace of progress in the neurosciences and patient care. Contemporary neurology has been changed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the climate emergency and the growing inequalities in healthcare resources. The new edition has been extensively revised to reflect these challenges and affords a greater emphasis on management and rehabilitation whilst continuing to reflect the coherence of a text produced from a single, closely-knit, centre of excellence. Highlights of the new edition include: An updated approach to clinical examination, decision-making and diagnosis New developments in neuroimmunology, pathology and genetics Neuropalliative care Ethical and legal issues in clinical neurology The latest developments in the understanding and management of stroke, movement disorders, epilepsy, cognitive impairment, multiple sclerosis, infections, myelopathy, anterior horn cell disease, disorders of nerve and muscle, neuro-oncology, neurological disorders of hearing, balance and vision, and the neurological care of critical illness, sleep, neuropsychiatry, pain, autonomic and urological disorders. An emphasis on treatment and rehabilitation of the person with a neurological disease The new edition marks a significant transition to reflect contemporary neurological practice during uncertain times. It mirrors the enormous changes in investigation, diagnosis and treatment that have occurred in recent years whilst maintaining the underlying principle that we do not treat diagnoses but, rather, we care for people affected by neurological disease.
