Early diagnosis in neuro-oncology
Aldo Fortuna
editore: Springer Verlag
pagine: 75
It is common knowledge that a clinical diagnosis is based on a combination of symptoms and signs, observed in their evolution. Advancing the diagnosis at an early stage and particularly in the neurosurgical clinical examination would enhance the slightest possibility of recovery, theoretically almost transforming it into a concrete possibility. This book has a precise goal: to examine the "germ" of diagnostic suspicion, which is the true salt of medical art for every physician, general practitioner and specialist alike. In some cases also the characteristics of the late clinical picture are presented: today, though, this must be considered as a medical failure.
Childhood Headache
Ishaq Abu-Arafeh
editore: Mac Keith Press
pagine: 208
Over the past 10-15 years there has been a significant increase in the understanding of migraine and tension headache in children but there is currently no single source of current information for paediatric neurologists and paediatricians. In this book an international team of experts in the headache area addresses that gap and provides an extensive and detailed review of the recent findings in migraine and tension headache as well as headaches caused by underlying neurological disorders. They give an up-to-date assessment of the causes of childhood headache and better definitions and criteria for diagnosis, pointing the way to important future areas of research. This book, with its evidence-based plans of management and guidelines for investigations, will be essential reading for all clinicians treating headache in children.

Handbook of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation

Eric Wasserman
e altri
editore: Hodder Arnold
pagine: 416
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a method for stimulating the cerebral cortex through the intact skull by use of a coil delivering a rapidly changing magnetic field. It has applications in neuropsychiatric diagnosis, and in psychiatric therapy, using around one million times less energy than is required for traditional electroconvulsive therapy. Bringing together the basic science, fundamental principles, and essential practicalities of TMS, this book should prove useful to all users whether they are using the technique clinically or in research. The final two sections then bring together current up to date knowledge of applications of the technique. This handbook offers a companion to users of TMS in all departments of neurology, neurophysiology, neuropsychology, and psychiatry.
One Hundred Case Studies in Epilepsy
Dieter Schmidt , Steven C. Schachter
editore: Informa Healthcare
pagine: 480
From pediatric to the elderly, from contractible to refractive, epilepsy is an illness that manifests in many forms and across a range of demographics. In this fascinating volume, the author details more than one hundred instances where health care practitioners faced unusual challenges in treating the disease. All aspects of epilepsy are explored through these cases, from the sometimes confusing initial diagnosis to patient responses and treatment methods. In this best-selling short text, the author also presents the lessons learned from these extraordinary cases. 110 Puzzling Cases in Epilepsy is useful for medical students, residents and all health care practitioners, as the practices used to understand these cases can be applied to other diagnoses as well.
The Cat Primary Visual Cortex
Alan Peters , Bertram Payne
editore: Academic Press Inc
pagine: 725
Written by experts on the forefront of investigations of brain function, vision, and perception, the material presented is of an unparalleled scientific quality, and shows that analyses of enormous breadth and sophistication are required to probe the structure and function of brain regions. The articles are highly persuasive in showing what can be achieved by carrying out careful and imaginative experiments. "The Cat Primary Visual Cortex" should emerge as essential reading for all those interested in cerebral cortical processing of visual signals or researching or working in any field of vision. Key features include: comprehensive account of cat primary visual cortex; generous use of illustrations including color; coverage of research from structure to connections to functions; chapters by leaders in the field; and, topics presented on multiple, compatible levels.
The Cerebellum and its Disorders
Mario-Ubaldo Manto , Massimo Pandolfo
editore: Cambridge
pagine: 612
Recent years have seen major advances in the understanding of motor and non-motor operations of the cerebellum, including its role in cognition, and important discoveries in the genetics of the cerebellar ataxias. This is a comprehensive text on the cerebellum and its disorders. It ranges from embryology and basic neuroanatomy to a thorough survey of the sporadic and hereditary disorders of the cerebellum. Models of cerebellar function and clinical-pathophysiological correlations are thoroughly covered, and there is an extensive and authoritative review of recent advances in the genetics of cerebellar diseases. The chapters are written by the leading international authorities on the cerebellum, including many of those who made fundamental discoveries in the field. The first comprehensive text on the cerebellum to be published for many years, this book will be essential reading for a wide range of basic and clinical neuroscientists, neurologists and others studying or treating cerebellar disorders.

pagine: 344
This book, edited by one of the most distinguished specialists in the field, provides a comprehensive update on the use of sonography for imaging of the cervical region. All of the new technical modalities are considered in depth, including high-definition gray scale, enhanced color Doppler, and ultrasound contrast agents. Detailed morphological descriptions of numerous pathological processes are provided, followed by thorough discussion of differential diagnostic problems. In addition to presenting the basic information indispensable for physicians dealing with this anatomic region (ENT specialists, endocrinologists, specialists in vascular disease), each chapter reviews the most recent imaging findings with which physicians using sonography should be familiar. The book is original in addressing the examination of a particular anatomic region using a first-line imaging technique. It will have wide appeal and will be of great value to readers.
Smell and Taste Complaints
Christopher Hawkes
editore: Butterworth-Heinemann Ltd
pagine: 176
This practical, brief guide to diagnosing and treating causes of disorders of smell and taste is the only accessible handbook available for non-experts. Signs of problems with these two senses may be ignored by the patient or downplayed by the physician, but the disruption of the senses may be a first sign of serious illness. The wide range of conditions responsible for disorders of smell and taste make it difficult to determine the single underlying cause and to decide upon the best possible plan of treatment. "Disorders of Smell and Taste" will help physicians manage some of these patients thereby minimizing references to specialists.

Syringomyelia
Diagnosis and Treatment
Joerg Klekamp , M. Samii
editore: Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. K
pagine: 208
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has revolutionized our understanding of many neurological diseases. This is the first textbook on syringomyelia by a single team of authors covering all aspects of this disease since the introduction of this method. Based on a pathophysiological concept which is presented in the opening chapters of this book, we provide guidelines for diagnosis and surgical treatment of patients with syringomyelia. Each pathological condition syringomyelia may be associated with is described in a separate chapter in which clinical presentations, neuroradiological features, neurophysiology, and surgical indications and techniques are covered. Finally, a detailed analysis of postoperative results is given. Special sections are devoted to patients after treatment has failed. This book should help any physician dealing with a patient to initiate the appropriate diagnostic tests and studies to reach a diagnosis as to what has caused the syrinx.
