Andrea Rossi , Paolo T. Tortori-Donati
editore: Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. K
pagine: 1771
This exhaustive text covers all aspects of diagnosis and endovascular treatment of neurological and neurosurgical diseases of the pediatric central nervous system starting from their in utero expression. It also includes the vascular malformations of each district and their endovascular treatment. Besides the "normal" imaging techniques the advanced techniques (spectroscopy, diffusion, perfusion, and functional imaging) are covered in detail. Several topics that are often only superficially dealt with in other books are herewith covered in outstanding detail. The volume is richly illustrated with high-quality neuroradiological images, with pathological correlation where applicable. The rich analytic index makes it an easily usable tool in the everyday clinical practice. The book serves both as a reference for specialists (neuroradiologists, radiologists, neurosurgeons, neurologists, pediatricians) and as a teaching text for residents and fellows-in-training.

One third of people after stroke, having survived the first few weeks, return home with significant residual disability, and can therefore benefit from an active, multidisciplinary rehabilitation programme. This is a comprehensive guide to rehabilitation after stroke, in which leading international authorities set out the basic neuroscientific principles that underlie brain recovery, including chapters on neural plasticity and neural imaging, and describe appropriate rehabilitation strategies for the many different functional problems that can arise after stroke. These include movement disorders, sensory loss, dysphagia and dysarthria, problems with continence and secual difficulties, and cognitive disorders. Also covered are measurement of disability and quality of life, assistive technology and vocational rehabilitation. It is therefore an essential handbook and reference for all members of the multidisciplinary stroke rehabilitation team, including medical personnel, therapists, clinical neuropsychologists and rehabilitation nurses.
Minor Ailments in Primary Care

editore: Butterworth-Heinemann Ltd
pagine: 516
Although minor ailments form a large part of the work of a General Practitioner, relatively little is known about them. Important and life threatening diseases and syndromes get a lot of attention during medical education, whereas minor ailments, which form a much larger part of the GPs daily routine, hardly get any. However, the symptoms of these disorders often cause real problems and can be a burden to the patient. The authors of this book have described the most frequently encountered complaints and disorders that do not pose a serious health threat, often have a good prognosis and have not been paid much attention during medical education or in scientific papers. The basic principle of this book is to provide relevant and reliable information on minor ailments, as far as possible based on scientific evidence. The 119 chapters have uniform format and are written in a crisp and concise way that make them easily accessible in daily practice.
