This book offers clear, detailed guidance on all aspects of prognostic evaluation in patients who have been involved in a serious accident with neurological consequences or have been diagnosed with a severe neurological illness. It covers the full range of disorders of the central and the peripheral nervous system, not only providing very accurate prognostic estimates but also addressing relevant clinical issues, differential diagnosis, and the role of imaging. The book is practically oriented and designed for use on a daily basis when assessing prognosis and discussing the outcome with patients, their families, and other interested parties. It will support patient–doctor partnerships by ensuring that the most professional answers can be given to patients' and doctors' questions and by promoting realistic expectations of the effect of medical interventions. In addition, it will enable doctors, lawyers, and other professionals to understand relevant issues when an estimate of prognosis and life expectancy is the subject of legal dispute.

Il secondo, è che non permette a niente e a nessuno di velare il suo ottimismo, nemmeno a un brutto tumore. Il terzo, è che la sua missione è regalare felicità a chi non ne ha. E di questo ha fatto una ragione di vita. Ma, prima di diventare il supereroe dei bimbi di tutto il mondo, prima di dedicarsi alle missioni umanitarie e prima di riuscire a mettere il bene degli altri al primo posto, Andrea ha vissuto sulla sua pelle episodi duri e difficili. Cresciuto senza un padre, a soli quindici anni, infatti, è st...
