Chronic Complex Diseases of Childhood
This new book is a practical guide for physicians and other professionals who care for children and adolescents with complex, chronic diseases. These disorders are a challenge because they require multiple services, the information about the disorders are scattered, and the exact treatments are not available in standard texts. To overcome these barriers, this book provides a summary of the clinical features, laboratory diagnosis, and the general and specific treatments needed for optimal care of these children. The key points are presented in a clear, succinct format, providing recommendations that can be implemented within the time span of an office or emergency room visit. Furthermore, pit...
Differential Diagnosis Mnemonics
This entertaining and highly useful book presents hundreds of easy-to-remember mnemonics as a means of learning and then recalling the differential diagnosis possibilities for a wide range of medical conditions. The text is organized by body system, and each set of mnemonics is accompanied by notes for fine tuning the diagnostic process. The mnemonics included range in length from short to very long depending on the clinical entity. Sometimes more than one has been added for brevity or organizational reasons. Mnemonics presented provide simple frameworks on which to construct differential diagnoses. Mnemonics included are concise, pertinent words or phrases constructed to reflect the pathogenesis of the problem. Others are simple words that help in remembering a list of possibilities. An explanatory section is included with each mnemonic to review pathogenesis or provide helpful information. Enhances the readers thoroughness in making evaluations so that diagnoses are not missed. Serves as a handy reference for making diagnoses when particular problems arise.
Neurological Differential Diagnosis
Neurology is primarily characterized by a variety of diseases which seem very similar and are therefore difficult to distinguish between. Skill at differential diagnosis is therefore absolutely paramount. Neurological Differential Diagnosis is a streamlined handbook of prioritized differential diagnosis, to be used both in clinical practice and for exam review. By presenting differential diagnosis in order of frequency and importance, this book provides a practical handbook for clinicians in training, as well as a potential resource for quick board review. Whilst the book covers the most important syndromes and disease entities, readers are referred to other texts for more exhaustive differe...
The Concussion Crisis
FOR FAR TOO LONG, the menace of concussions has been hidden in plain sight. On playing fields across America, lives are being derailed by seemingly innocuous jolts to the head. From the peewees to the pros, concussions are reaching epidemic proportions. This book brings that hidden epidemic and its consequences out of the shadows. As frightening as the numbers are—estimates of sports-related concussions range from 1.6 million to 3.8 million annually in the United States—they can’t begin to explain the profound impact of a hidden health problem that can strike any of us. It is becoming increasingly clear that concussions, like severe head traumas, can rob us of our memory, our mental ab...
Law and Neuroscience
The implications for law of new neuroscientific techniques and findings are now among the hottest topics in legal, academic, and media venues. Law and Neuroscience—a collaboration of professors in law, neuroscience, and biology—is the first and still only coursebook to chart this new territory, providing the world’s most comprehensive collection of neurolaw materials. This text will be of interest to many professors teaching Criminal Law and Torts courses, who would like to incorporate the most current thinking on how biology intersects with the law. New to the Second Edition: Extensively revised chapters, updated with new findings and materials. New chapter on Aging Brains Hundreds of...

This issue of Clinics in Sports Medicine will explore all aspects of sports-related concussion, such as the biomechanics and epidemiology of concussions,as well as special considerations for female and pediatric athletes. The issue will also include articles on return-to-play and retiring decisions after sports-related concussions.
The Brain on Youth Sports
A 2022 Choice Reviews Outstanding Academic Title Dispels the myths surrounding head impacts in youth sports and empowers parents to make informed decisions about sports participation “They’re just little kids, they don’t hit that hard or that much.” “Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) only happens to former NFL players.” “Youth sports are safer than ever.” These are all myths which, if believed, put young, rapidly maturing brains at risk each season. In The Brain on Youth Sports: The Science, the Myths, and the Future, Julie M. Stamm dissects the issue of repetitive brain trauma in youth sports and their health consequences, explaining the science behind impacts to the he...
Concussions in Athletics
Concussions in Athletics: From Brain to Behavior is a timely and major contribution to the literature that comprehensively addresses the neuromechanisms, predispositions, and latest developments in the evaluation and management of concussive injuries. Also known as mild traumatic brain injury, concussion in athletics is a growing public health concern with increased attention focusing on treatment and management of this puzzling epidemic. Despite the increasing occurrence and prevalence of concussions in athletics, there is no universally accepted definition, or “gold standard,” for its assessment. Concussion in Athletics: From Brain to Behavior provides a range of major findings that ma...
Brainlesion: Glioma, Multiple Sclerosis, Stroke and Traumatic Brain Injuries
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-workshop proceedings of the International Workshop on Brain Lesion, as well as the challenges on Brain Tumor Segmentation (BRATS), Ischemic Stroke Lesion Image Segmentation (ISLES), and the Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Outcome Prediction (mTOP), held in Athens, October 17, 2016, in conjunction with the International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Intervention, MICCAI 2016. The 26 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed. They present the latest advances in segmentation, disease prognosis and other applications to the clinical context.
Concussions in Athletics
Now in a fully revised and expanded second edition, this comprehensive text remains a timely and major contribution to the literature that addresses the neuromechanisms, predispositions, and latest developments in the evaluation and management of concussive injuries. Concussion, also known as mild traumatic brain injury, continues to be a significant public health concern with increased attention focusing on treatment and management of this puzzling epidemic as well as controversies within the field. The book is comprised of five thematic sections: current developments in evaluation; biomechanical mechanisms; neural substrates, biomarkers, genetics and brain imaging; pediatric considerations...
