This new addition to the popular Pearls Series presents 100 common and difficult neurologic case histories. Each patients case is followed by the physical examination and initial diagnostic impression which prompts the reader to derive his/her own preliminary diagnosis and plan for treatment. Laboratory findings are then given along with a detailed discussion of how the patient was diagnosed and the follow-up results. At the end of each case, valuable clinical pearls (major points) are provided. Emphasis is placed on the physicians bedside evaluation. Helpful references are listed for further information on the particular disease/diagnosis presented in the case. 100 case histories present vital clinical information on the diagnosis and treatment of neurological disorders. 100 figures illustrate and highlight key elements outlined in various cases. Extremely useful in preparation for board exams.

This title in the popular Pearls Series focuses on electrodiagnostic studies of neuromuscular diseases. EMGs and their interpretation are a major component of the specialty of physical medicine and rehab physicians, and they are important to neurologists and electromyographers. For each case, patient information is presented, the EMG findings are discussed, and the reader is asked to make a diagnosis based on these findings. The next page reveals the diagnosis, discussed the case and the medical condition in question, and then presents 3-4 pearls of practice distilled from the case. Pearls books feature real patient cases, providing information not found in standard texts Each case follows the same format for clarity and ease of presentation Provides information about the specific patient as well overall information on each disorder discussed. The text is interactive as the reader is asked make a diagnosis based on the case information presented Illustrations are provided for most of the cases Three or four "pearls of practice" are distilled for each case.

Geared to primary care practitioners, this straightforward, practical guide focuses on evaluation and management of common pediatric neurologic conditions. Coverage includes routine disorders such as headaches, ADHD and school problems, autism, seizures, developmental delays, behavioral problems, tics, changes in gait, and dizziness, as well as neurologic conditions encountered in the emergency room. The authors address everyday questions such as how to distinguish serious from non-serious conditions, whether or not to order an EEG or MRI, what to do when a child does not respond to medication, and how to discuss common concerns with parents. Each chapter includes typical case studies.

Since its first edition in 1994, Neurology in Practice has fulfilled its objective to enhance the practice of neurology, and has been proven useful to students, physicians and allied health professionals. In this Fourth Edition, the authors continue to emphasize that a sound clinical approach is the key to the diagnosis and management of neurological disorders. Thus, relevant neuroanatomical principles and simulated neurological manifestations are incorporated in the first chapter. All chapters have been updated with knowledge gained from major advances in neuroscience. Two new chapters have also been added: "Neurodiagnostic Tests" and "Neurological Manifestations of Systemic Disorders and Neurotoxicology".

Bridge the gap between pathophysiology and clinical medicine in a succinct outline of core internal medicine topics! Originally created and road-tested by a resident and then updated by a team of resident authors, Huppert’s Notes succinctly organizes the foundational science covered early in medical school and the clinical approaches encountered in clerkships and beyond. This marriage of pathophysiology and clinical medicine provides a framework for how to approach internal medicine concepts mechanistically, rather than through memorization. You’ll find concise descriptions of common medical conditions with diagnostic and management pearls, as well as high-yield diagrams and tables to emphasize key concepts. Covering all internal medicine subspecialties, each Huppert’s Notes chapter is organized in an intuitive and consistent outline format for rapid access: Anatomy & Physiology Diagnostics Approaches & Chief Complaints Diseases & Pathophysiology Key Medications & Interventions Key Clinical Trials & Publications Space for your personal notes

This concise, thoroughly updated text provides a comprehensive, state-of-the art review of neurology and will serve as a highly practical resource for neurology residents and medical students. Emphasizing a practical approach to common neurologic disorders, the author blends chapters that cover the evaluation of specific complaints (confusion, dizziness and vertigo, visual loss, headache and facial pain) with others that focus on particular disorders (Parkinsonism, multiple sclerosis, dementia). Noting the core practice of neurology is largely unchanged from years ago and still largely done at the bedside, the author emphasizes the importance of acquiring expertise in the time-tested, classical techniques of history taking, directed examination, and localization. Toward that, the author encourages a focus on the key clinical pathways for diagnosis and management. A wide range of clinical pearls are provided and the diagrams and illustrations are well-designed and comprehensible, as are the clinical images (EEGs, CT, MRI) which provide excellent examples of a variety of neurologic disorders. The discussions and algorithms offered are evidence-based and state-of-the-art. Importantly, the author discusses a range of breakthroughs in the treatment of almost every disorder, with new medications available to treat amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson’s disease, among others. Concise and well-written, Neurology: A Clinician’s Approach, 3rd Edition is an invaluable resource that will again serve as a very useful, gold-standard resource for trainees.
