This textbook is intended for students in neurology and a variety of related disciplines who wish to learn the basic principles of neurology and to understand common neurologic diseases. It is designed to be read from cover to cover in a 3-4 week neurology rotation, or in a classroom situation, giving the reader a thorough understanding of the fundamentals of neurology. encountering a patient with a neurologic problem, the key elements of the neurologic exam, and an overview of common neurologic tests. They discuss how to use the history and neurologic exam to localize the patient's problem to specific neuroanatomic sites and to use the neuroanatomic information along with results of appropriate laboratory tests to establish a diagnosis. diseases presenting at different neuroanatomic sites along the neuroaxis, from muscle to the cerebral cortex, and chapters on diseases that have similarpathophysiologies. The authors selected 58 neurologic diseases based on their frequency, ability to represent that category of neurologic disease, value in teaching neuroscience concepts, and diagnostic importance. Each chapter begins with an overview to understand the common features of this group of diseases. Selected diseases are then discussed with an emphasis on the pathophysiology, major clinical features, major laboratory findings, and the principles of disease management. This book covers both adult and pediatric neurologic diseases as well as selected neurosurgical diseases. a neurology service or in the classroom. * The book focuses on the most important neurologic diseases, carefully selected based on frequency, ability to represent that category of neurologic disease, value in teaching neuroscience concepts, and diagnostic importance. Thus, students with a limited period of time can focus on the most important neurologic diseases that they need to understand. This is in contrast to existing texts that list virtually every disease within each category, with each disease given almost equal weight regardless of its importance, as a result of which the student can easily become confused as to which disease are important to understand. including the basic principles of the test, when the test is helpful, and some general principles toward interpretation of the results. This approach helps students understand in the later chapters why certain tests are recommended for specific diseases. * Each disease chapter begins with an extensive introduction that includes the features of illnesses that occur at that anatomic location or class of disease. This helps a reader understand how to localize neurologic illnesses that in turn leads to improved differential diagnosis and the better ordering of diagnostic tests. It also helps the reader understand how the nervous system is organized and how disease in each part can lead to specific types of signs and symptoms. books that just list signs and symptoms, diagnostic tests ordered, and drugs with doses that can be used. This book allows the student to better understand the etiology, the pathology and how the pathology causes neurologic signs and symptoms. * Two color printing of illustrations greatly improves readability. No other common student book has this.
A book of differential comparisons. The book shows how one might use remedy comparisons in one's daily practice. The remedies are arranged alphabetically.
If you'd like to improve your vision and reduce or eliminate your need for glasses or contacts, perhaps you're considering LASIK. This procedure has become one of the most popular vision correction surgeries in the nation with 9 million Americans undergoing LASIK procedures annually. But, before you entrust your eyes to a surgeon, make sure you become an informed consumer. In LASIK—A Guide to Laser Vision Correction, three ophthalmologists, who together have performed more than 65,000 LASIK procedures, help you understand what the surgery involves. Among the questions they answer: &• Are you a candidate for LASIK surgery? &• How is LASIK performed?&• How much vision improvement you can expect? &• How does the new Wavefront technology improve LASIK? &• How do you choose a qualified ophthalmologist? &• How many procedures should your ophthalmologist have performed? &• What are the possible complications? &• What follow up care will you need after the surgery? The Book to Read Before Having LASIK Surgery!
A field guide that explores and explains the patterns of nature, revealing them to the many different types of nature observers--from birders to gardeners, hikers to environmentalists, wildflower enthusiasts to butterfliers.
Turning the pages of Ernest Hodson's Booklet, "Insights," Up Front and Personal, is to experience one surprise after another. The author changes tempo, style and subject matter in an intriguing manner and often throws in a question or lesson of life for the reader to ponder. The reader also gains an insight into the author himself with his sharing of verse and several photographs taken directly from personal family albums or his own life experiences. The author's use of photography to visually illustrate the verse is very effective. He is also quick to acknowledge the idea is not his own, and quotes the age old adage, "A picture is worth a thousand words," after which he adds, "and some poetry needs it." Read "Insights, Up Front and Personal." You will enjoy the tour.
