Throughout, an attempt has been made to preserve the allocated a neurological "long case". This is a serious reflection on the adequacy of training in "common things are common" approach which is widely neurology. It is still possible in some medical schools for a rumoured to be the secret of passing examinations, and is student to go through his entire clinical course without an also the basis of good clinical practice. Rare disorders are attachment to the neurological unit. Increasing competition discussed briefly, but it is important that beginners realise for teaching time has led to the situation where in most U.

Those fortunate enough to gain a very good grasp of the common disorders rather than attend a post-graduate course find a minimum of three attempting to learn long lists of very rare diseases.

Neurological history claims its earliest origins in the 17th century with Thomas Willis's publication of Anatomy of the Brain, coming fully into fruition as a field in the late 1850s as medical technology and advancements allowed for in depth study of the brain. However, many of the foundations in neurology can find the seed of their beginning to a time much earlier than that, to ancient Greece in fact. Neurological Concepts in Ancient Greek Medicine is a collection of essays exploring neurological ideas between the Archaic and Hellenistic eras. These essays also provide historic, intellectual, and cultural context to ancient Greek medical practice and emphasizing the interest in the brain of the early physicians. This book describes source material that is over 2,500 years old and reveals the observational skills of ancient physicians. It provides complete translations of two historic Hippocratic texts: On the Sacred Diseases and On the Wounds of the Head. The book also discusses the Hippocratic Oath and the modern applications of its meaning. Dr. Walshe connects this ancient history, usually buried in medical histories, and shows the ancient Greek notions that are the precursors of our understanding of the brain and nervous system.

This unique text fills the gap between shorter texts, containing little explanatory material, and the compendia, for those advanced in the field of neurological disorders. It is written both for novices and for physicians who require an update on the subject. To understand the symptoms and signs requires a sound knowledge of the gross anatomy of the central nervous system and supporting tissues. This book achieves this using the author's own detailed diagrams, backed up with concise and practical guidance on diagnosis and treatment, as well as relevant case studies.The long-awaited second edition of this highly popular guide reflects such recent advances as computed tomography and MRI. The tutorial approach presents readers with an authoritative view of the fundamentals of practical neurology.

Clinics in Developmental Medicine No. 148 This is the second edition of the manual describing a popular and practical tool for the clinical neurological examination of the newborn. In addition to a number of developments on the original scheme in the light of clinical and research experience, the new manual also facilitates the recording and performance of the examination by providing clear information on its administration, aided by illustrative diagrams. A new feature is the inclusion of useful scoring tables at the back of the book. Other new sections include a simplified version of the examination suited to inexperienced staff, applicable both for screening and for use in developing countries, and a revised proforma which may be used for the follow-up of infants beyond the neonatal period.

Neurological Development from Birth to Six Years presents precise instructions on how to perform and record the neurological examination perfected by Dr. Claudine Amiel-Tison, one of the world's foremost neurodevelopmental neonatologists. This standardized neurological examination can be used in NICU follow-up clinics and in reporting neurological outcomes in clinical research studies. The text makes a special contribution by explaining how to interpret deviations from the norm and is especially useful for assessing children with neurological problems (such as cerebral palsy) or children with a risk of developing them (particularly those born very prematurely). Featuring dozens of detailed illustrations, the book presents a single tool for the neurological examination of children from birth to school age in an effort to meet the specific needs of clinicians, researchers, and administrators. For these needs to be met, the clinical assessment tool must be both systematic and precise. It must be based on a fixed set of observations and maneuvers, and results must be scored according to the child's age -- since cerebral maturation, especially during the first year, will constantly modify the results. With these goals in mind, the authors present a basic neurological examination appropriate for daily pediatric practice, one that can be used throughout infancy and childhood, while avoiding the dual pitfalls of oversimplification and extreme complexity. Cowritten by a recognized specialist whose reputation and techniques cross national boundaries, Neurological Development from Birth to Six Years will be a useful tool for professionals in pediatrics. The book was published in French in 1998 by Hôpital Sainte-Justine at the University of Montreal.

This book is a collection of over 50 case histories of patients with predominantly acute neurological illness, with particular emphasis on conditions that present to physicians in both acute general (Internal) medicine and neurology, including headache, encephalopathy and altered consciousness, behavioural disturbance, seizures and focal deficits. The majority of the cases have endocrine, vascular, infectious or metabolic aetiologies and include examples of common conditions presenting in unusual ways. The differential diagnosis in such cases is often broad but rapid diagnosis and treatment is often paramount. Each case is outlined in brief and is followed by several questions on clinically important aspects of the diagnosis and management. The answers are accompanied by a detailed discussion of the differential diagnosis, together with other clinically important aspects of the condition. The text is complimented by over 170 radiographic illustrations. The question-and-answer format is designed to enhance the reader's diagnostic ability and clinical understanding.

Unique among neuroanatomical texts ... This is no dry compilation of facts but an attention-rivetting discussion of neurological organization.' Annals of Internal Medicine on the 2nd edition.

‘Neurological Disorders in Famous Artists - Part 2’ presents more writers, philosophers, musicians, painters and film directors who developed some form of neurological dysfunction and whose style and output changed following a stroke or other cerebral disorder. Mozart, Baudelaire, de Kooning, Proust, Füssli, Heine, Fellini, Visconti and others are all striking examples of how extraordinary creativity can be challenged and modified or destroyed and restored, all within the drama of a disease. When brain disease challenges the capabilities of artists, the changes that subsequently occur in their work provide a unique opportunity to explore the mysteries of creativity. This may also lead to a better understanding on how certain artists developed, particularly when the course of a disease corresponds with what is generally recognized as a new chapter in their work. This book offers a fascinating read for neurologists, psychiatrists, general physicians and anybody interested in art, literature, music and film.
