Duus' Topical Diagnosis in Neurology - Anatomy, Physiology, Signs, Symptoms
Book description
Duus' Topical Diagnosis in Neurology has been a valuable aid to
generations of medical students and physicians all over the world. It
has appeared in 14 languages and has been continually updated at short
intervals to take account of newly gained knowledge. The current,
comprehensively revised edition was written by a new team of authors to
preserve the positive aspects that have won this book a wide and
appreciative audience. Key features include: -An integrated presentation
of the anatomy, physiology, and clinical syndromes of the nervous system
which benefits both medical students and practicing physicians-A
transdisciplinary approach which breaks down the traditional, artificial
separation of "preclinical" from "clinical"
knowledge and "basic science" from human neurology, making
this text suitable for the contemporary medical school
curriculum-Updated content in a layout with better
"signposting", four-color anatomical drawings throughout,
modernized case histories (including numerous CT and MR images), and new
first and last chapters on the fundamental elements of the nervous
system and the CNS blood supply "What has been wholly preserved
[in this edition], thankfully, is this classic text's approach to
teaching neuroanatomy through an integrated presentation of the anatomy,
function, and clinical relevance of the regions and pathways of the
central nervous system. Such an approach provides readers with a variety
of ways to become more familiar with a subject that is often complex and
known to inspire both admiration and dread. ...The book's dimensions do
make it more inviting to open and leaf through, and its relatively small
price is similarly inviting. I would recommend this book to anyone
seeking greater familiarity with neuroanatomy and with the anatomical
localization of neurological signs and symptoms."--Journal of
