Book Description
"The cerebrospinal vasculature originates at the aortic arch. The right brachiocephalic artery divides into the right common carotid artery and the right subclavian artery. The left common carotid and left subclavian arteries arise directly from the aortic arch. The 2 common carotid arteries bifurcate into the internal and external carotid arteries. The anterior circulation of the brain includes the distal branches from the internal carotid artery, including the anterior cerebral artery and the middle cerebral artery. The vertebral arteries arise from the subclavians and join at the pontomedullary junction, forming the basilar artery. The vertebrobasilar system and distal branches are commonly known as the posterior circulation of the brain"--

Book Description
Prepare for your exams with Comprehensive Board Review in Neurology. This book is designed to give residents and recent residency graduates a complete review of the concepts tested in the annual resident in-service exam and the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology (ABPN) board exam. It will also provide the neurologist-in-practice with a thorough, up-to-date review of all aspects of neurology for the ABPN recertification exam.Opening with a detailed review of the fundamental concepts of neuroanatomy, the book then addresses the basic categories of neurologic disease, such as cerebrovascular diseases, seizures and epilepsy, and nerve and muscle diseases. It also covers pertinent behavioral and psychiatric disorders, as well as common medical disorders affecting the nervous system. Features: Detailed anatomical schematics aid the comprehension of important concepts Coverage of the often-neglected areas of psychiatry and systemic diseases that affect the nervous system, as well as the traditional areas, such as neuro-oncology, pediatric neurology, and neuropathies, help you gain a firm understanding of the full range of neurological problems More than 200 pathology slides and MR images of neurologic diseases sharpen your visual recognition skills Summary tables organize large amounts of the key information and are ideal for at-a-glance review Gain the knowledge and confidence to excel on your exams with this outstanding board review. Dr. Mark Borsody is a part of Northern Neurosciences, a not-for-profit organization that supports the development of neuroscience clinical programs and research. Currently their primary focus is in the development of a telemedicine network for community hospitals in the Great Lakes region.

Book Description
Please note that this eBook does not include the DVD accompaniment. If you would like to have access to the DVD content, please purchase the print copy of this title. This is a clinical neurology book for students and non neurologists, and for those who teach them. The book covers neuroanatomy, history taking and examination and then proceeds to discuss the clinical features of common problems as well as selected, less common neurological disorders, in a way that will demystify a part of medicine that many find complex and difficult to understand. The book is accompanied by a DVD explaining concepts, demonstrating techniques of performing the neurological examination and demonstration of abnormal neurological signs. The first chapter is devoted to neuroanatomy from a clinical viewpoint. The concept of localising problems by likening the nervous system to a map grid with vertical meridians of longitude (the ascending sensory pathways and the descending motor pathway)and horizontal parallels of latitude (cortical signs, brainstem cranial nerves, nerve roots and peripheral nerves) of the nervous system is developed. Subsequent chapters take the reader through the neurological examination and the common neurological presentations from a symptom oriented approach. Chapter 4 contains a very simple method of understanding the brainstem, the "rule of 4". Chapter 6 discusses the approach after the history and examination are completed. The final chapter is an overview of how to approach information gathering and keeping up-to-date using the complex information streams available. widely illustrated with case studies and illustrations key points clinical questions clinical orientation with comprehensive references

Book Description
Neurology is an exciting and evolving clinical science. The fact that many previously untreatable diseases are now known to be not only treatable, but preventable, has raised new optimism for the probability that treatments will emerge for other currently incurable neurologic disorders. This book is written and illustrated for students of clinical

Book Description
An engagingly written text that bridges the gap between neuroanatomy and clinical neurology “A wonderfully readable, concise, but by no means superficial book that fits well in the current pedagogic environment.” From the Foreword by Allan H. Ropper, MD Clinical Neurology and Neuroanatomy delivers a clear, logical discussion of the complex relationship between neuroanatomical structure and function and neurologic disease. Written in a clear, concise style, this unique text offers a concise overview of fundamental neuroanatomy and the clinical localization principles necessary to diagnose and treat patients with neurologic diseases and disorders. Unlike other neurology textbooks that either focus on neuroanatomy or clinical neurology, Clinical Neurology and Neuroanatomy integrates the two in manner which simulates the way neurologists learn, teach, and think. Clinical Neurology and Neuroanatomy is divided into two main sections. In Part 1, clinically relevant neuroanatomy is presented in clinical context in order to provide a framework for neurologic localization and differential diagnosis. The diseases mentioned in localization-based discussions of differential diagnosis in Part 1 are then discussed in clinical detail with respect to their diagnosis and management in Part 2. Part 1 can therefore be consulted for a neuroanatomical localization-based approach to symptom evaluation, and Part 2 for the clinical features, diagnosis, and management of neurologic diseases. FEATURES • A clear, concise approach to explaining the complex relationship between neuroanatomical structure and function and neurologic disease • Numerous full-color illustrations and high resolution MRI and CT scans • Explanatory tables outline the clinical features, characteristics, and differential diagnosis of neurologic diseases and disorders

Book Description
Neurology of Vision and Visual Disorders, Volume 178 in the Handbooks of Neurology series provides comprehensive summaries of recent research on the brain and nervous system. This volume reviews alterations in vision that stem from the retina to the cortex. Coverage includes content on vision and driving derived from the large amount of time devoted in clinics to determining who is safe to drive, along with research on the interplay between visual loss, attention and strategic compensations that may determine driving suitability. The title concludes with vision therapies and the evidence behind these approaches. Each chapter is co-written by a basic scientist collaborating with a clinician to provide a solid underpinning of the mechanisms behind the clinical syndromes. Reviews the neurological underpinnings of visual perception disorders Encompasses the cortex to the retina Covers functional organization, electrophysiology and subcortical visual pathways Discusses assessment, diagnosis and management of visual perception disorders Includes international experts from Australia, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Singapore, and the UK and US
