Now in its Seventh Edition, DeJong’s The Neurologic Examination has been streamlined and updated for a new generation. An absolutely comprehensive, detailed guide to techniques on the neurologic examination, this book integrates details of neuroanatomy and clinical diagnosis in a readable manner. The text is supplemented by helpful boxes that highlight clinical pearls and offer illustrative cases, and tables summarize differentials and lists of clinical findings.
A student of DeJong, Dr. Haerer has updated this classic work on neurologic tests in light of the latest imaging, electrodiagnostic and laboratory methods. Chronicles all the various neurologic tests and their results, clearly explaining what those results mean and how they relate to the human nervous system.
Designed as a diagnostic tool for non-neurologists or first-year neurology residents, this pocket guide contains the most essential information from the best-selling DeJong's The Neurologic Examination, Sixth Edition. Included are step-by-step instructions for each stage of the neurologic examination, numerous illustrations depicting examination techniques, and frequently used tests and scales such as the Boston Naming Test, Glasgow Coma Scale, and Denver Scale of Communication Function. A "toolkit" at the back of the book contains lightweight adaptations of implements used in performing the examination, such as visual acuity charts, a red lens, a multi-pinhole, an optokinetic nystagmus tape, and other devices.
Key Points: Numerous illustrations and clinical images ensure proper technique and emphasize key information necessary for an optimally effective examination. Case scenarios bridge the gap between the book and the bedside. The comments section has been tailored to maximize concept in minimum content.
The South Asian Edition of Localization in Clinical Neurology is a unique and outstanding textbook on localization answering the trilogy of Neurology: 'Is there a lesion?' 'Where is the lesion?' and 'What is the lesion?' There is no surrogate to history taking and clinical examination in the process of neuraxis localization. The depths of knowledge unraveled in this book guides a beginners' brain in training and satiates a master's mind at work. Each chapter is carefully crafted to strengthen the anatomy, sense of localization, enhance the mind to solve the puzzles of neurology, and reach the possible etiology. Key Features • Unique textbook on clinical localization with comprehensive coverage addressing all brain regions including cranial, spinal, and peripheral nerves • Revision pearls at the end of each chapter provide a succinct summary of salient points in the chapter • Multiple-choice questions help in the revision of learned concepts • Flow charts, diagrams, algorithms, and tables assist in grasping the gist of the concepts • Case scenarios provide a virtual experience of the bedside clinics • Online videos and neurodiagnostic clues provide a better understanding of clinical findings • Detailed discussions cover relevant anatomy, followed by the lesions related to each anatomic feature
An introductory text that transitions into a moderately advanced, case-based analysis of neurologic disorders and diseases, this book emphasizes how to simplify the process of making a neurologic diagnosis. Medical students and residents are often intimidated by a deluge of data, perception of anatomic complexity, extensive differential diagnoses, and often have no organized structure to follow. Diagnostic methods of general medicine are not applicable. Indeed, neurology is a unique specialty since it requires the intermediary step of an anatomic diagnosis prior to proffering a differential diagnosis. Yet the required knowledge of neuroanatomy need not be profound for the student or resident who will not specialize in neurology or neurosurgery. The Neurologic Diagnosis: A Practical Bedside Approach, 2nd Edition is primarily directed to neurology and neurosurgery residents but it will be useful for medical and family practice residents who will discover that a great percentage of their patients have neurologic symptoms. A one-month neurology rotation out of four years of medical school is not sufficient to make a cogent neurologic diagnosis. The aim of this concise, practical book -- which includes an in-depth video of how to perform a neurologic examination -- is to facilitate the process of establishing a neuroanatomic diagnosis followed by a rigorous analysis of symptoms and signs to reach a well-thought out differential diagnosis. Focused and succinct, this book is an invaluable resource for making a lucid neurologic diagnosis.
