Duus' Topical Diagnosis in Neurology Anatomy, Physiology, Signs, Symptoms

The latest, up-to-date version of a respected classic Duus' Topical Diagnosis in Neurology has been a valuable aid to generations of medical students and physicians all over the world. It has appeared in 14 languages and has been continually updated at short intervals to take account of newly gained knowledge. The current, comprehensively revised edition was written by a new team of authors to preserve the positive features that have won this book a wide and appreciative audience: An integrated presentation of the anatomy, physiology, and clinical syndromes of the nervous system benefits both medical students, who will appreciate the clinical correlations, and practicing physicians, for whom the more basic material will be a useful review. A transdisciplinary approach breaks down the traditional, artificial separation of "preclinical" from "clinical" knowledge, and of "basic science" from human neurology, and thus exactly suits the contemporary, innovative medical school curriculum, where connections between fields are used to promote effective learning. "Duus" has been guided by this principle since its first publication three decades ago, when it was well ahead of its time. Updated content in a layout designed for optimal learning: Better "signposting" with colored headings and logical, thematic division of sections Four-color anatomical drawings throughout Modernized case histories with numerous, clearly reproduced CT and MR images New first and last chapters on the fundamental elements of the nervous system and on the blood supply of the CNS, including clinical syndromes. Because of their major importance in neurology, the cerebrovascular syndromes are particularly emphasized, not only in the last chapter, but throughout the book.Baehr, Mathias is the author of 'Duus' Topical Diagnosis in Neurology Anatomy, Physiology, Signs, Symptoms', published 2005 under ISBN 9783136128046 and ISBN 3136128044.
