Neurology: A Clinical Handbook 1st Edition

Neurology: A Clinical Handbook 1st Edition

“This Handbook is a sparkling addition to the neurological library, a concise and clear guide to clinical practice in neurology, written in elegant prose, a tribute to Queen Square and to the contribution that both Hospital and Institute have made to neurology. 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.” 

                 –Simon Shorvon, National Hospital for Neurology & Neurosurgery, Queen Square  

Neurology: A Clinical Handbook is a practical text, for both neurologists and general physicians, in the wards, the office or at home. This book spans the breadth of neurology and its challenges, for those who require a rapid resource in accessible language. 

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.

Language and Neurology: Alzheimer’s Disease 1st Edition

Language and Neurology: Alzheimer’s Disease 1st Edition

This book questions the relationship and compatibility between current beliefs in neurology and contemporary textual linguistic theories, interpretative semantics and discourse analysis.It begins with a critical examination of the screenings for Alzheimer�s type dementia through cognitive testing, particularly screenings where language is used. It then analyzes the various linguistic properties (morphological, syntactic and semantic) of the speech of Alzheimer�s patients, which can be troubling for both caregivers and their environment in general.

More than a synthesis of critical linguistic reflections, Language and Neurology provokes a fruitful reflection through adjustments suggested by the acquired knowledge of textual semantics.

Managing Negative Symptoms of Schizophrenia (Oxford Psychiatry Library)

Managing Negative Symptoms of Schizophrenia (Oxford Psychiatry Library)

Schizophrenia is one of the most severe psychiatric disorders, carrying with it significant stigma and a number of debilitating symptoms. While material on its “positive” symptoms, such as hallucinations and delusions, is readily available, its “negative” symptoms, which present heterogeneously as deficits across a variety of domains, are not nearly so well-documented and often go undiagnosed with no effective treatment. Given the poor functioning and outcomes which occur as a result of these symptoms, it is imperative they receive greater focus.

Part of the Oxford Psychiatry Library (OPL) series, this concise pocketbook provides readers with a comprehensive overview of the definition, evaluation, and treatment of negative symptoms. Written by experts in the field, with key points at the beginning of each chapter for quick reference, this is an invaluable resource for any mental health care professional working with individuals affected by schizophrenia.
