Product Description: This dictionary, sponsored by the International Neuropsychological Society, is a practical resource for neuropsychologists, neurologists, speech pathologists, psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, and occupational therapists whose work or research involves patients with nervous system disorders. It will also be valuable for students of neuropsychology and related disciplines. The book provides concise definitions of neurobehavioral abnormalities, diseases affecting the nervous system, clinical syndromes, neuropsychological tests, rehabilitation methods, medical procedures, basic neuroscience and other important terms. Its broad scope not only encompasses the approaches, perspectives, and practice settings of neuropsychology, but also extends to the related disciplines of neuroanatomy, neurochemistry, neurophysiology, neurology, neuropsychiatry, and experimental and cognitive psychology. In addition to definitions, the dictionary includes other relevant information: abbreviations and acronyms that appear in medical charts and in clinical literature, the terms' origins to illustrate how concepts developed, and biographical information on figures who have influenced the understanding of syndromes, diseases, and anatomy.
Product Description: Neurology: A Queen Square Textbook is a remarkable fusion of modern neuroscience with traditional neurology that will inform and intrigue trainee and experienced neurologists alike.
Modern neuroscience has penetrated exciting and diverse frontiers into the causes, diagnosis, and treatment of neurological disease. Clinical neurology, whilst greatly enhanced by dramatic advances in molecular biology, genetics, neurochemistry and physiology, remains deeply rooted in practical traditions: the history from the patient and the elicitation of physical signs.
Neurologists, neuroscientists and neurosurgeons working at Queen Square, and advised by an international editorial team, have combined their expertise and experience to produce this unique text. The synthesis of clinical neurology with translational research provides a fresh perspective which is
Practical
Multidisciplinary
Translational
Integrative
The blend of new science and proven practice underpins this creative approach towards investigating and improving the care of patients suffering from neurological diseases.
About Queen Square The world-renowned National Hospital for Neurology & Neurosurgery and UCL Institute of Neurology, based in Queen Square, London, have an international reputation for training, research and patient care. Research at both institutions leads developments in translational medicine that are transforming the treatment of neurological disease.

This book is an excellent review for neurology residents and practicing neurologists studying for the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology certification and recertification exams. The book has 1,000 multiple-choice questions that mimic the Boards, along with answers and explanations. The Neurology and Psychiatry sections consist of chapters on specific topics that are emphasized in the Board exams. Neurology High Yield Points, Psychiatry High Yield Points, and Psychiatry Factoids chapters list the most important points for quick review just prior to the exam. All of the questions and answers in the book will be available electronically on a companion Website.
Revised to incorporate the latest advances in the neurosciences and clinical neurology, the Seventh Edition of this classic text provides practical, cost-effective problem-solving approaches to all diseases affecting the developing nervous system. In clinically relevant terms, the book explains how recent developments in molecular biology, genetics, neurochemistry, neurophysiology, neuropathology, and neuroimaging impact on diagnosis and treatment. Chapters focus on specific disorders or groups of disorders and emphasize differential diagnosis, disease course, treatment, and prognosis. This edition has a new chapter on mitochondrial cytopathies. "Doody's Core Titles 2009."

Product Description: Tel Aviv Univ., Israel. Compilation of detailed case histories representing a variety of peripheral neurologic cases encountered in neuromuscular practice. Demonstrates the usefulness of reported case studies as a pedagogic tool. For residents and clinicians. Previous edition: c1991. Softcover. DNLM: Peripheral Nervous System Diseases--diagnosis--Case Report.
Product Description: Netter's Neurology provides the best of an atlas, an anthology of clinical cases, & an important basic introduction to requisite information needed to diagnose & initiate treatment of various neurologic and neuromuscular disorders. Case vignettes from the Lahey Clinic set the stage for discussion of the basics of specific neurologic disorders, including history, epidemiology, clinical presentation, differential diagnosis, testing modalities, therapy, & prognosis. To help readers more easily and clearly conceptualize this complicated body system, more than 350 classic Netter and Netter-style illustrations are included and supplemented by modern neuroimaging, or photomicrography, further defining the anatomy of the specific areas of dysfunction.
This book takes a novel approach to fundamental neurology that bridges the gap between the classroom and the patient encounter: it teaches students and residents how to arrive at a presumptive diagnosis in an efficient manner. Beginning with the initial approach to the neurologic patient, the book directs the reader in getting relevant information from the history and neurologic examination. A NeurAxis chart and a What Could the Problem Be? chapter help the reader make sense of the history and examination findings and quickly consider the diagnostic possibilities. Case studies encourage readers to apply this approach to real patients.
