Download or read book Fundamentals of Neurological Diagnosis 2 written by Bertha Chioma Ekeh and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-04 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medical students all over the world find Neurology intimidating and challenging. This has led to a poor understanding of this wonderful specialty. I was one of such students who had found Neurology formidable as a medical student. Over the years, I gradually unravelled the basics concepts and principles. It has therefore been my utmost desire to make Neurology an interesting but simple subject. "Fundamentals of Neurological Diagnosis 2" fulfils that desire of presenting the basic principles in an interesting and simplified manner. The book discusses the cardinal principles in making a diagnosis in three parts. Part 1 is a concise anatomy of the central nervous system. Part 2 is on the localization of lesions in Neurology. Part 3 is on the investigations of the central nervous system. It is an essential tool for all medical students and Doctors in navigating the erstwhile "tough" Neurology specialty. It is the second edition of the book which designed to be cost effective and affordable.
Download or read book Fundamentals of Neurological Diagnosis written by Bertha Ekeh and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-03-22 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The importance of good history and physical examination with proper interpretation being adequate for neurological diagnosis in as much as 90% of cases cannot be overemphasized. Investigations however are essential for collaboration with or confirmation of the clinical diagnosis. Recent advances in scientific technology have increased the physician's armamentarium in investigative modalities. The advent of these sophisticated modalities (neuro imaging techniques, biochemical and gene studies) for the investigation of neurological disorders has caused an over reliance on these investigations alone for diagnosis. This practice should be avoided as it certainly does not guarantee the correct diagnosis in neurological patients. The aim of the neurologist is to arrive at a final diagnosis by the intelligent analysis of the clinical data aided by the least number of investigations; relevant. In essence, clinical diagnosis should always precede and guide the investigations. In making a neurological diagnosis therefore, it is pertinent to have a thorough clinical evaluation, localize the lesion, make a clinical diagnosis or narrow down the differential diagnosis before requesting investigations. This book 'Fundamentals of Neurological Diagnosis' gives a simplified step wise approach to the diagnosis of Neurological disorders. The first part is a brief anatomy of the nervous system; the second part is a guide to the localization of lesions while the third part details the basic investigations of the central nervous system. It was Ralph Waldo Emerson that said "To ensure that one person breathed easier just because you lived: that is to have achieved". My utmost purpose in writing this book is to ensure that some persons breathe easier in Neurological Diagnosis.

Download or read book Handbook of Veterinary Neurology E Book written by Michael D. Lorenz and published by Elsevier Health Sciences. This book was released on 2010-12-14 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Handbook of Veterinary Neurology provides quick access to vital information on neurologic conditions in a wide range of species, including canine, feline, bovine, caprine, equine, ovine, and porcine. A problem-oriented approach makes it easy to diagnose and treat neurologic problems in small and large animals. The coverage of disorders by problem, not by established disease diagnosis, emulates how animals present to the veterinary hospital and simplifies the formulation of a correct diagnosis. Within each chapter, discussions of neurologic disease include a review of the localization criteria and the diseases that can cause that problem, plus treatment and surgical techniques. Lead author Michael D. Lorenz brings decades of experience to neurologic assessment, using a diagnostic approach that requires minimal knowledge of neuroanatomy. A problem-based approach is organized by presenting sign rather than by condition, guiding you to logical conclusions regarding diagnosis and treatment. Algorithms diagram the logic necessary to localize lesions and to formulate diagnostic plans. Coverage of current diagnostic techniques includes the use of diagnostic tools, such as radiology, spinal fluid analysis, electrodiagnosis, and MR imaging. Case histories in each chapter present a problem and the results of the neurologic examination, then ask you to solve the problem by localizing the lesion, listing probable causes, and making a diagnostic plan. Answers are provided at the back of the book. A consistent format for each case history includes signalment, history, physical examination findings, and neurologic examination. A comprehensive appendix describes species and breeds that have a congenital predisposition for particular neurologic diseases. Extensive references make it easy to pursue in-depth research of more advanced topics. A companion website includes 20 narrated video clips with accompanying PowerPoint slides that correlate to the case histories in the book, covering neurologic assessment and clinical problems such as paresis of one limb, tetraparesis, stupor, seizures, ataxia of the head and limbs, and cranial nerve disorders. Two new co-authors, Jean Coates and Marc Kent, board-certified in neurology, enhance the credibility of this edition. A full-color design and numerous illustrations include enhanced images of neuroanatomy and pathology.
