Book Description
Neurology in Clinical Practice is a comprehensive and practical book that covers all of the clinical neurosciences for neurologists in training and in practice. The original intent of the book was to produce a very comprehensive textbook that focused on clinical neurology - with less focus on the basic sciences. This is key, as neurology has changed from being a specialty with very few therapeutic options to one with vast amounts of diagnostic and management choices. The four editors began their careers in neurology at a time when the explosion of knowledge in basic neuroscience was beginning and have been able to observe the ever-increasing application of this knowledge to clinical neurology.
The book provides not only a description of neurological disease and its pathophysiology but also a practical approach to diagnosis and management, which only years of experience can offer. It is emphasized that a complete understanding of diagnostic techniques is essential for the clinical neurologist, but such techniques must not supplant clinical skills. This new edition has been completely revised and updated to include the plethora of new developments in the field, and 40% of the contributors are new, reflecting the very best and most current of today's research and clinical practice.
Most excitingly, this title is now available as a book/website (e-dition) package, with many beneficial new features, offering unsurpassable value!
