Neurologia

Compendio di Neuroriabilitazione – Seconda Edizione Aggiornata ed Ampliata Alla luce del successo riscosso dalla prima edizione abbiamo ritenuto di promuovere la stampa di una nuova completamente rinnovata che ha ora tra i curatori anche Nicola Smania. È noto come la neuroriabilitazione sia una delle discipline, in campo medico, che maggiormente ha visto nel corso degli ultimi anni crescere i settori di ricerca e con essi il numero di pubblicazioni. Abbiamo ritenuto, pertanto, indispensabile, da una parte chiedere agli autori di aggiornare i loro capitoli alla luce dei contributi di maggior interesse pubblicati negli anni recenti e sino ad oggi, dall’altra introdurre ben dodici nuovi capitoli che dessero maggiore spazio a temi che sono diventati sempre più importanti nella pratica clinica. Questo anche considerando che il nostro libro si rivolge a tutti gli Specialisti e Professionisti operanti in campo neuroriabilitativo. I nuovi capitoli riguardano, in particolare, le nuove tecnologie e metodologie per la riabilitazione del paziente neurologico, ma anche le metodologie diagnostiche e di trattamento delle disfagie neurogene, dato il grosso rilievo di questo topic. È stata anche ampliata l’area dei capitoli riguardanti i disturbi cognitivi.

Acclaimed for its clear, friendly style, excellent illustrations, leading author team, and compelling theme of exploration, Neuroscience: Exploring the Brain, 4e takes a fresh, contemporary approach to the study of neuroscience, emphasizing the biological basis of behavior. The authors' passion for the dynamic field of neuroscience is evident on every page, engaging students and helping them master the material. In just a few years, the field of neuroscience has been transformed by exciting new technologies and an explosion of knowledge about the brain. The human genome has been sequenced, sophisticated new methods have been developed for genetic engineering, and new methods have been introduced to enable visualization and stimulation of specific types of nerve cells and connections in the brain. The new Fourth Edition has been fully updated to reflect these and other rapid advances in the field, while honoring its commitment to be student-friendly with striking new illustrations, additional animations, and an unparalleled array of online resources.

Cranial Anatomy and Surgical Approaches is the master work of the legendary neurosurgeon Albert L. Rhoton, Jr. — a distillation of 40 years of work to improve safety, accuracy, and gentleness in the medical specialty the author helped shape.Newly reissued and featuring more than 2000 full-color illustrations, this definitive text on the microsurgical anatomy of the brain remains an essential tool for the education and enrichment of neurosurgeons at any career stage. It fulfils its author's hopes to make, in his words, the "delicate, fateful, and awesome" procedures of neurosurgery more gentle, accurate, and safe.Across three sections, Cranial Anatomy and Surgical Approaches details the safest approaches to brain surgery, including:Micro-operative techniques and instrument selectionMicrosurgical anatomy and approaches to the supratentorial area and anterior cranial base, including chapters on aneurysms, the lateral and third ventricles, cavernous sinus and sella.Anatomy and approaches to the posterior cranial fossa and posterior cranial base, including chapters on the fourth ventricle, tentorial incisura, foramen magnum, temporal bone, and jugular foramenSupra- and infratentorial areas, including chapters on the cerebrum and cerebellum and their arteries and veins

Plum and Posner's Diagnosis and Treatment of Stupor and Coma, 5th edition, is a major update of the classic work on diagnosing the cause of coma, with the addition of completely new sections on treatment of comatose patients, by Dr. Jan Claassen, the Director of the Neuro-ICU at Columbia New York Presbyterian Hospital. The first chapter of the book provides an up-to-date review on the brain mechanisms that maintain a conscious state in humans, and how lesions that damage these mechanisms cause loss of consciousness or coma. The second chapter reviews the neurological examination of the comatose patient, which provides the basis for determining whether the patient is suffering from a structural brain injury causing the coma, or from a metabolic disorder of consciousness. The third and fourth chapters review the pathophysiology of structural lesions causing coma, and the specific disease states that result in coma. Chapter five is a comprehensive treatment of the many causes of metabolic coma. Chapter 6 review psychiatric causes of unresponsiveness and how to identify and treat them. Chapters 7 and 8 review the overall emergency treatment of comatose patients, followed by the treatment of specific causes of coma. Chapter 9 examines the long term outcomes of coma, including the minimally conscious state and the persistent vegetative state, and how they can be distinguished, and their implications for eventual useful recovery. Chapter 10 reviews the topic of brain death and the standards for examination of a patient that are required to make the determination of brain death. The final chapter 11 is by J.J. Fins, a medical ethicist who was invited by the other authors to write an essay on the ethics of diagnosis and treatment of patients who, by definition, have no way to approve of or communicate about their wishes. While providing detailed background for neurological and neurosurgical specialists, the practical nature of the material in this book has found its greatest use among Internists, Emergency Medicine, and Intensive Care specialists, who deal with comatose patients frequently, but who may not have had extensive neurological training.

Questo manuale, con un linguaggio semplice e corredato di una ricca iconografia in continuo dialogo con il testo, si rivolge a tutti i professionisti dell’area socio-sanitaria e riabilitativa, agli osteopati e ai fisioterapisti, proponendo un valido metodo per stabilire una relazione tra la localizzazione anatomica e i segni e sintomi delle principali malattie neurologiche. Gli argomenti trattati sono utili all’operatore che desideri effettuare una corretta esplorazione funzionale del sistema nervoso periferico, solitamente affrontata in modo più superficiale in altri testi. Applicando le proprie conoscenze sull’azione dei singoli muscoli e sulle loro inserzioni, il lettore può così arrivare a distinguere la lesione radicolare da quella del plesso o di un tronco nervoso. Grazie a questo libro, ogni osteopata o fisioterapista ha la possibilità di apprendere nozioni applicabili poi nella pratica quotidiana e di effettuare una diagnosi differenziale analizzando solo i dati anamnestici e i rilievi obiettivi di base.
