Modern neuroscience has penetrated exciting and diverse frontiers into the causes, diagnosis, and treatment of neurological disease. Clinical neurology, whilst greatly enhanced by dramatic advances in molecular biology, genetics, neurochemistry and physiology, remains deeply rooted in practical traditions: the history from the patient and the elicitation of physical signs. The synthesis of clinical neurology with translational research provides a fresh perspective which is Practical Multidisciplinary Translational Integrative The blend of new science and proven practice underpins this creative approach towards investigating and improving the care of patients suffering from neurological diseases.
Research at both institutions leads developments in translational medicine that are transforming the treatment of neurological disease. It is the encapsulation of wisdom gained in a long career.
For practitioners in the art of neurology, junior and senior this is required reading. The Handbook is also aimed at those considering entering neurology, neurophysiology and neurorehabilitation and for medical trainees and consultants in many specialities. It is an invaluable source for the MRCP, a ready-made reference for clinical practice and for the specialist nurse and therapist.
The book deals with essentials - of neuroanatomy, clinical examination, mechanisms of neurological disease and the major issues of dementia and stroke in an ageing population.
More specific aspects of neurology are also addressed, including the specialist fields of nerve and muscle disease, the spinal cord, headache and the cranial nerves, infection in the nervous system, MS and sleep disorders. The allied disciplines of neurorehabilitation, neuropsychiatry, neuro-oncology, uro-neurology, neuro-otology and neuro-ophthalmology are also covered. The aim is to provide both an introduction and a summary - of general neurological practice and the specialist aspects of neurology and neuroscience.
Author : Ramez Kirollos Publisher: Oxford University Press ISBN: Category: Medical Page: View: Read Now » Neurosurgery is a rapidly developing and technically demanding branch of surgery that requires a detailed knowledge of the basic neuro-sciences and a thorough clinical approach.
The Oxford Textbook of Neurological Surgery is an up-to-date, objective and readable text that covers the full scope of neurosurgical practice. Each section takes a dual approach with, 'Generic Surgical Management' chapters that focus on specific clinical problems facing the neurosurgeon e.
Where appropriate, this division provides the reader with easily accessible information for both clinical problems which present in a regional fashion and specific pathologies. The generic chapters cover aspects such as operative approaches, neuroanatomy and nuances.
Specifically each chapter in the book incorporates several strands. Firstly the fundamental neuroscience anatomy, pathology, genetics etc. Secondly, a review of the requisite clinical investigations e. Thirdly, a thorough evidence based review of clinical practice.
Following this a consideration of the key debates and controversies in the field with 'pro-' and 'con-' sections e. A summary of the key papers and clinical scales relevant to neurosurgery form the concluding part. The book is a 'one-stop' text for trainees and consultants in neurosurgery, residents, those preparing for sub-specialty exams and other professionals allied to surgery who need to gain an understanding of the field.
It acts as both a point of reference to provide a focussed refresher for the experienced neurosurgeon as well as a trusted training resource. The spectacular success of the book over many years demonstrates that it succeeds more than any other resource available. This 6th edition will ensure the content remains as fresh, current and easy to interpret as ever.
A concise and lucid explanation of how to examine the nervous system. Copiously illustrated with clear line diagrams and flow charts. Instructions are clear and systematic — what to do, what you will find, and what it means.
New simplified line drawings have been added. The new edition contains an expanded summary of how to perform a complete neurological examination. The book will be available on the StudentConsult library.
Author : Kenneth W. Readers find this approach accessible and easy to learn form. Updated and revised in all areas where there have been developments in understanding of neurological disease and in neurological and neurosurgical management. It relates the ups and downs of the Hospital and Institute in war and peacetime, their financial struggles, many personality conflicts, efforts to remain independent and to maintain neurological dominance, academic and clinical contributions, issues relating to specialisation and subspecialisation and relations between disciplines, and the changing roles of the Hospital and Institute.

He has a large general neurology NHS practice and is consultant to three neurological intensive care units as well as directing clinical services for patients with motor neurone disease, myasthenia gravis and sleep disorders.
Professor Martin Rossor has been in consultant practice since. If a patient presents with potential neuro-ophthalmology signs and symptoms see article on page 64 , a basic neuro-ophthalmology examination should be undertaken.
If done systematically, as described in this article, it can be informative in making a differential diagnosis and deciding on management. A basic neuro-ophthalmological examination can be done with a minimum of equipment see box below. Subsequent examination depends on what has been found and may involve full ocular and neurological examinations as well as investigations.
Both the visual pathway and oculomotor functioning should be assessed. The presenting and best corrected with pinhole visual acuity is obtained using a Snellen or LogMar chart for distance vision.
