CERVELLO DI MOZART (IL)
-
Bernard Lechevalier
editore: Bollati Boringhieri
pagine: 276
L'11 aprile del 1770, Leopold Mozart e il figlio Wolfgang, giunti a Roma, assistono alla messa nella Cappella Sistina e ascoltano il celebre Miserere di Allegri, talmente prezioso che ai musicisti era stato vietato, pena la scomunica, di far circolare lo spartito. Dopo la messa, il quattordicenne Mozart riscrive integralmente il Miserere a memoria. A partire da questo episodio della vita di Mozart, Bernard Lechevalier indaga anzitutto i meccanismi della memoria musicale. Com'è possibile memorizzare un pezzo di quindici minuti, composto di voci distinte in due cori? È un ascolto tecnico? Emozionale? Quali sono le operazioni mentali sottese alla memoria musicale?

Fundamentals of Neurology
An Illustrated Guide
Heinrich Mattle , Marco Mumenthaler
editore: Thieme Publishing Group
pagine: 304
Fundamentals in Neurology presents a thorough introduction to the underlying principles of neurology. It contains detailed discussion of the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of neurologic syndromes and diseases of the brain and meninges, cranial nerves, spinal cord, spinal nerve roots, peripheral nerves, including multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, as well as other myopathies and myelinopathies. Placing special emphasis on the importance of the clinical neurological examination, this text provides the clinician with the knowledge essential for the professional setting. More than 300 illustrations provide concrete, visual aids to complex subject matter. With an easy-to-access thumb index, tables, and shaded text boxes, this text speeds the medical student, post-graduate trainee, neurologist, or specialist through learning and review of key topics in neurology.
Evoked Spinal Cord Potentials
An Illustrated Guide to Physiology, Pharmocology, and Recording Techniques
Koki Shimoji , William D. Willis
editore: Springer Verlag Japan
pagine: 232
This book covers the basics of evoked spinal cord potentials (SCPs) with reference to studies in animals. Many illustrations help the reader grasp the neurophysiological and neuropharmacological background of spinal cord functions. Case studies offer insight into monitoring and diagnosing spinal cord dysfunctions and spinal cord diseases. The book is intended for students in clinical neurophysiology, neurosurgery, neurology, orthopedics and neuroanesthesia.
Atlas of EEG and Seizure Semiology
Bassel Abou-Khalil , Karl E. Misulis
editore: Butterworth-Heinemann Ltd
pagine: 240
The diagnostic use of clinical neurophysiology is key to almost all practices of neurology, and all neurology departments (hospitals, clinics, academic depts., group practices) conduct these studies. In fact, there is growth within departments and in the number of neurologists performing and interpreting these studies. Another trend being seen is that neurologists who have focused, for example, on doing EMGs are now learning to do EEGs to add to their expertise and to departmental revenue. Very often, the clinical neurophysiology divisions within a department are the only profitable entity. This DVD disk covers basic classifications and definitions of seizures and epilepsy, EEG technology and clinical EEG before proceeding to the key content of EEG traces and video samples. The companion text provides many black and white images of records and line drawings. It also contains introductory information on the performance and interpretation of routine EEG and video monitoring, including basic normal and abnormal patterns and clinical correlations.
Stroke

pagine: 200
Stroke is the third leading cause of death in Western industrialized countries, with around 500 transient ischaemic attacks and 2400 new strokes occurring per one million inhabitants each year. Many patients who recover from stroke need help with daily living and all have to be managed intensively by their neurologists and general practitioners. Nowadays, due to the rapid progress of medical science, stroke is no longer a uniformly fateful disorder. Powerful therapies are now available both for the treatment of acute stroke and for primary and secondary prevention. Because of the need for rapid treatment of acute stroke ('time is brain') and the multimodal approach to stroke prevention, interdisciplinary cooperation among several healthcare professionals (general practitioners, emergency medical services, internists, radiologists and neurologists) is very beneficial. In writing this book, we have attempted to communicate a multidisciplinary, practical and effective approach to treating stroke, with algorithms based on scientific data and clinical experience, and illustrated by several pertinent case studies.
The book also contains a comprehensive list of relevant drugs, with information on doses, efficacy and side effects, and we have referenced the book thoroughly throughout. We hope you will find this book interesting and informative and that it will help your approach to clinical practice in this important area.

Palliative Neurology

editore: Cambridge
pagine: 276
Palliative care affirms the value of holistic support for persons facing death from advanced disease. Increasingly the approach of palliative care is seen as relevant not only to terminal cancer (its initial concern) but also to many other incurable conditions. To date, the major emphasis of specialist neurology has been on diagnosis, and the continuing long term management of the many major diseases has received far less attention. This handbook aims to provide succinct and practical advice on the management of major neurological disorders in both their supportive and terminal phases, recognizing that these conditions are increasing in prevalence in virtually every society as the proportion of elderly persons grows. It demonstrates how the discomforts encountered in dementia, stroke, Parkinson's disease, ALS, Huntington's disease, muscular dystrophies and multiple sclerosis can benefit from the same comprehensive approach to palliation as has evolved in specialist care for cancer.
Stroke Treatment and Prevention
An Evidence-based Approach
Graeme J. Hankey
editore: Cambridge
pagine: 536
Stroke is the third most common cause of death in the world and a major source of disability. This invaluable reference will provide clinicians caring for stroke patients with ready access to the optimal evidence for best practice in acute stroke treatment and secondary prevention. The author, who is a member of the editorial board of the Cochrane Stroke Review Group, describes all available treatments for acute stroke and secondary prevention, the rationale for using them and, where available, the highest level of evidence for their safety and effectiveness. Where level 1 evidence is not available, he offers advice on reasonable practice and information about current research. The evidence for each treatment is followed by the author's interpretations and the implications of the evidence in the care of stroke patients. This is therefore an essential resource for clinicians, translating into practice advances that have been made in the treatment and prevention of stroke and suggesting the most appropriate interventions.

This timely book provides basic, practical and up-to-date information on how to use imaging to diagnose and treat patients with acute ischemic stroke. Written by physicians from the Massachusetts General Hospital and faculty from the Harvard Medical School, the book distills years of experience in the day-to-day management of acute stroke patients, as well as leading-edge basic and clinical research, into a practical guide. With the growing awareness that modern CT and MR imaging can meaningfully improve the outcome of the acute stroke patient, this book provides the practical information to advance the capacities of providers in delivering the most advanced care for this disease.
