Scales & Scores in Neurology
2004
448 pp, hardcover
ISBN: 9781588901309 / 9783131309518
Description




The more complex and abstract a disease or debility, the more important it is to have reproducible methods for scaling, rating, and scoring. The proficient use of these "tools" is essential in evaluating therapeutic response (especially in chronic diseases), detecting deficits, assessing risks, and making a prognosis.

The multitude of scales and scores that are used in neurology can make it confusing to understand and apply them in clinical practice. Scales and Scores in Neurology offers valuable assistance in this regard:

It reviews practically all scales and scores that are currently used in clinical neurology to detect neurologic deficits, assess risks and prognosis, and evaluate response to long-term (medical) therapies.

It distinguishes commonly used scales and scores from those that are used infrequently, providing expert commentaries on each.

The book saves the reader time in selecting, interpreting, and understanding the various measuring scales that are available. An indispensable tool for every neurologist, and psychiatrist, it is also a valuable reference for internists, pediatric neurologists, neurosurgeons, neuroradiologists, neurophysiologists, and neuropharmacologists.

Features:
1. Neuropsychiatric Disorders
Risk assessment in intensive neurology
2. Speech and Language Disorders
Prognosis scores used in chronic and neoplastic diseases
3. Geriatric Assessment
Results of the latest epidemiologic and clinical studies

A great all-in-one reference!

Reviews of the previous German edition:

"The authors have created a much-needed encyclopedic work that covers (almost) all scales in pediatric and adult neurology that have been published in recent decades. Anyone interested in a specific field can quickly find several useful scales, eliminating lots of tedious searching."
Schweizerische Medizinische Wochenschrift

"A particularly valuable feature is the systematic presentation of scales according to area, application, duration, results, bibliographic references, and commentary. All instruments discussed in the text are illustrated along with practical tips, making it easier to use them effectively in the clinical and office setting." Der Nervenarzt

158 pp, 17 tables, 33 illustrations
hardcover
ISBN: 9781588901163 / 9783131300713

Description




The authors have compiled into a practical text their experiences encompassing over 20 years of work in the rehabilitation of patients in a persistent vegetative state. In addition to the partial or complete recovery of mental and neurological functions, another condition has been gaining in recognition in recent years: the state of minimal responder, which they elucidate in their book.
This title bridges a gap in the specialized literature by providing neurologists, emergency physicians, physiatrists, and internists, as well as therapists, with a new set of tools to aid them in obtaining more rapid progress in the treatment of these patients, whose improvement is wholly dependent upon them.
A second equally relevant aspect considered is the relationship of the care-giving physician with the patient"s family. Particular attention is given to the approach the physician must take towards family members of the patient lacking mental activity.
A third part illustrates the structural and instrumental devices useful in planning and operating a unit specialized in the treatment of patients in the persistent vegetative state, with particular attention given to the rules governing the unit.

2nd edition
190 pp, 22 tables, 59 illustrations
hardcover
ISBN: 9780865774322 / 9783136650028

Description




This second edition of "Neurologic Differential Diagnosis" brings together clinical neurologic diagnosis with the recent addition of non-invasive neurodiagnostic tests. The combination makes for an economical approach by the neurologist in his attempt to give the patient the best in patient care. In the first part, the characteristic syndromes are discussed according to their location in the nervous system. It is assumed that the physician has made a provisional diagnosis, that is, on the basis of the information obtained, has localized the process. The neuro-anatomic and physiologic basis of the symptomatology and the etiologic processes responsible for such localization are described. This is important for a check on the correctness of the physician"s topical diagnosis and is helpful in etiologic considerations. In the second part, it is assumed that the physician is unable to localize the process on the basis of single findings. Help, therefore, is needed in interpreting the localizing value of the main findings or symptoms. In this part an attempt is made to help in the process that results in a diagnosis based on the correct interpretation of neurologic symptoms. Their importance is analyzed according to the origin of the symptoms, the involved body part, or other considerations. This allows an orderly classification of symptoms according to localization of lesions. This, in turn, facilitates the etiologic considerations of the significance of various leading symptoms. In some longer sections of this book, a "mirror" method is used as the basis for the differential diagnostic analysis of a particular leading symptom.
