Electrodiagnosis in Diseases of Nerve and Muscle
Principles and Practice
Jun Kimura , Jeffrey A. Strakowski
editore: Oxford University Press Inc
pagine: 952
Professor Jun Kimura, an internationally renowned and legendary pioneer in electrophysiology, has updated and thoroughly revised Electrodiagnosis in Diseases of Nerve and Muscle: Principles and Practice, the essential textbook considered the gold standard for electromyography (EMG) students and practitioners world-wide.
With the support of Dr. Jeffrey Strakowski after the untimely passing of Prof Kimura, this new edition has removed outdated sections that were too theoretical or otherwise inappropriate for the current clinical practice of electrodiagnosis, updated the references, and improved the clarity of the line tracings throughout. Two long-form video lectures with step-by-step real time demonstration of nerve conduction studies of the upper limb and lower limb conclude this new edition and bring Prof Kimura's penultimate edition to a close.
Neurologists and physiatrists who are interested in neuromuscular disorders and noninvasive electrodiagnostic methods, particularly those practicing electromyography, will find this edition to be a must-have on their shelves for years to come.

IntroduzioneOgni libro ha una sua storia, che è utile condividere con i lettori.La necessità di rivedere appropriatezza, criteri di utilizzo, modalità prescrittive, contesti relazionali in neuropsicofarmacologia del paziente anziano è sentita da molti.Le risposte formative sistematiche e soprattutto multidisciplinari non sono frequenti; nasce così l’idea di un Corso Multidisciplinare di due giorni, organizzato dall’Associazione Italiana di Psicogeriatria, che ha ott enuto un significativo successo per numero di partecipanti, per il loro entusiasmo operativo, per l’alta competenza dei relatori intervenuti da tutta Italia.Da questo successo, l’idea di trasferire in un libro non gli atti del congresso, ma una nuova originale elaborazione dei contenuti, con qualche opportuno ampliamento e revisione. Gli autori si sono resi disponibili a sistematizzare ed aggiornare i loro contenuti; a loro riconosciamo la grande disponibilità e la notevole competenza, senza le quali questo libro non avrebbe visto la luce.Chi lo acquista vi trova condensate le informazioni criticamente riviste sulle principali strategie neuro-psico-farmacologiche nel paziente anziano: non è un libro solo per cultori in psicogeriatria, ma anche per chi desidera avere un riferimento operativo sulle principali aree che quotidianamente il medico si trova ad esplorare con il paziente anziano.Ci rendiamo perfettamente conto che non tutte le possibili aree d’intervento sono state coperte, ma questo risente delle storie personali (i libri di collaborazione sono frutto anche di amicizie) e di scelte strategiche. Allo stesso tempo, qualche possibile disomogeneità anche formale va letta come espressione del vivace dibattito culturale che caratterizza la vita dell’Associazione Italiana di Psicogeriatria, che costituisce di fatto l’incubatrice di questo volume.Siamo convinti che l’opera rappresenti un contributo originale con importanti ricadute nella pratica quotidiana e che potrà favorire il dibattito e la crescita culturale nell’ambito delle cure del paziente psicogeriatrico.Buona lettura!Carlo Serrati, Claudio Vampini, Marco Trabucchi e Diego de Leo
Oxford Textbook of Neurocritical Care

Neurocritical care is a multidisciplinary specialty that provides comprehensive management for all life-threatening disorders of the central nervous system and their complications. Increased understanding of the pathophysiology of acute central nervous system disorders and their impact on systemic organ systems, in association with advances in neuromonitoring and neuroimaging techniques, has led to the introduction of more effective and individualised treatment strategies that have translated into improved outcomes for critically ill neurological patients. As well as treatments targeted to the acute neurological disorder, critically ill neurological patients require meticulous general intensive care support to maintain systemic physiological stability and optimize neurological outcomes.
The second edition of the Oxford Textbook of Neurocritical Care brings together international experts from various disciplines to provide a comprehensive global perspective on this field. In 33 updated or new chapters, the book discusses the pathophysiology of acute neurological conditions, advancements in monitoring and imaging techniques, evidenced-based treatment strategies, prognostication, patient outcomes, and ethics. Each chapter highlights advancements within specific areas and underscores the critical attention to detail that is the basis of neurocritical care practice.
While primarily designed for those in the neurocritical care field, this textbook also serves as a valuable resource for other clinical professionals who encounter patients with acute neurological conditions in their practice. It is also a useful resource for trainees from many disciplines

The Practice of Emergency and Critical Care Neurology
Eelco F. M. Wijdicks
editore: Oxford University Press Inc
pagine: 1080
Published in 1997 as the first single-authored book on critical care neurology, The Practice of Emergency and Critical Care Neurology serves as a comprehensive guide to managing all aspects of critically ill neurologic patients. Following patients from the moment they enter the emergency department, this textbook demonstrates how specialists in the neurosciences assume full responsibility for patient care. Edited succinctly for relevance, this book differs from conventional textbooks by following the time course of clinical complexities as they emerge and change, instead of focusing on just the theoretical aspects of the field. Great emphasis is placed on the management of unstable and deteriorating patients. As any patient presents a unique, complex problem, the book pays special care in describing the considerations behind the rapid-fire decisions that comprise the work environment of the neurointensivist.
In this new third edition, all chapters have been revised with added information and, in some, new concepts and ideas. Key features of this new edition include:
1. Additional chapters on the basics of neuroimaging and its interpretation; basic pharmacology issues in the intensive care setting (e.g., drug interactions and side effects); intoxications; the principles of critical care ultrasound and its relevance in the NeuroICU and the principles of neuro palliation including neuroethics
2. Rich illustrations using color photos of patients and drawings of important basic concepts of mechanisms in diseases of neurocritical care
3. Fully updated and comprehensive reference list
4. Narrated instruction video of the coma FOUR score
