Multiple Sclerosis (Contemporary Neurology Series Book 84) Illustrated Edition

Multiple Sclerosis (Contemporary Neurology Series Book 84) Illustrated Edition

This latest edition to the ‘Contemporary Neurology Series’ will fill one of the few remaining ‘neurologic gaps’ within the Series. ‘Multiple Sclerosis,’ written solely by Moses Rodriguez, Orhun Kantarci and Istvan Pirko of the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN will offer proven, effective treatments for specific presentations and symptoms of multiple sclerosis along with a pathophysiological explanation of why they work. It bridges a needed gap between overly simplistic therapy manuals and basic science texts that discuss human disease only insofar as it mimics what is observed in animal models of the disease in the laboratory. Additionally, it seeks to offer an efficient integrative approach to symptomatic treatment to avoid over-medication and side effects. It discusses the heterogeneous causes of the disease and the need to develop individualized treatments that address the basic pathophysiologic processes that characterize each patient’s disease with the future goal of individualized medicine.

‘Multiple Sclerosis’ covers both the basic research aspects of MS: epidemiology, neuropathology, genetics, and immunology as well as the treatment options associated with the MS patient: sleep, steroids, pharma, neuropsychology, and growth factors (to name a few). ‘Multiple Sclerosis’ will focus on the medical treatment – drug treatment – of MS rather than on physical medicine and rehabilitation (not the author’s strength). The authors will also make ample use of flow diagrams, bulleted points, and tables to help the reader better understand MS and its etiology and treatment.

Anatomic Basis of Neurologic Diagnosis 2nd Edition

 

An anatomical, patient-oriented approach to neurologic diagnosis from renowned neurosurgeons

Despite strides in advanced neuroimaging techniques, what remains constant in the practice of neurology and neurosurgery is the enduring value of observing and interpreting patient signs and symptoms at bedside. Authored by renowned neurosurgeons Cary D. Alberstone, Edward C. Benzel, Michael P. Steinmetz and distinguished colleagues, Anatomic Basis of Neurologic Diagnosis, Second Edition details neuroanatomy in an organized, thorough manner, tipping its hat to the art and science of neurologic diagnosis. Like the widely acclaimed first edition, the updated volume emphasizes a logical, patient-oriented approach to neurologic diagnosis, conspicuously absent from most standard neuroanatomy texts.

New to this second edition are a portfolio of carefully curated MRI images and sections on neuroplasticity, peripheral nerve architecture, peripheral nerve injury and recovery, electrodiagnostic diagnosis of radiculopathy, tremor, deep brain stimulation targets (and side effects), autonomic disorders, altered states of consciousness, and spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage. Two sophisticated new chapters address our current understanding of Memory and Neural Networks.

Key Features:

  • Clinically pertinent anatomy is described succinctly and in plain language
  • The cardinal manifestations of regional nervous system disorders facilitate localization of lesions
  • Logical approaches to system-based complaints aid in differential diagnosis
  • Learning objectives begin each chapter, graced by a variety of easy-to-grasp conceptual drawings
  • MRI images, new to this edition, enrich and amplify the text

 

The authors present a practical, reader-friendly, and patient-centric approach to diagnosing neurological disorders. Residents, fellows, and practitioners in neurology, neurosurgery, and neuroradiology, and those studying for board examinations will enjoy reading this indispensable resource.
