Foundations for Clinical Neurology (UK)

Foundations for Clinical Neurology presents basic principles of neurology in a user-friendly way for practicing neurologists as well residents, fellows, and students. Written in a clear and concise format, this book will perfectly complement the traditional neurology textbook.

This volume on neurology is divided in to three primary sections. The first section Practicing Neurology covers bedside investigation, diagnosis, imaging techniques, and therapeutics; Section 2, Topics in Neurologic Disease reviews subjects in neurologic disease that are often overlooked but
are very important; and the third section, Perspectives provides insight in to how we talk, think, and develop concepts in neurology. With understanding of the evolution of neurologic concepts, the terminology and classifications used by neurologists, and the methodologies used to prove cause of
disorder and disease, the practicing neurologist can provide the most effective care.

Topics discussed in Foundations for Clinical Neurology include...
-Verbal and nonverbal communication, especially during the history-taking portion of a neurologic examination;
-How to be effective and avoid common pitfalls in the neurologic exam;
-Difficulties in applying diagnostic criteria and formulating diagnoses; and
-Advantages of using CT or MRI scanning in various clinical situations.
