Oxford Textbook of Clinical Neurophysiology
Part of the Oxford Textbooks in Clinical Neurology series, the Oxford Textbook of Clinical Neurophysiology includes sections that provide a summary of the basic science underlying neurophysiological techniques, a description of the techniques themselves, including normal values, and a description of the use of the techniques in clinical situations. Much of diagnostic neurophysiology is essentially pattern recognition which is illustrated throughout the text using audio and video examples. Divided into four key sections, this book begins with the scientific basis of clinical neurophysiology (Section 1) before exploring specific techniques including Electromyography, Intracranial EEG recordings, and Magnetoencephalography (Section 2). The final two sections explore clinical aspects of both the peripheral nervous system (Section 3) and the central nervous system (Section 4).
Motor Neuron Disorders
Clinical and scientific text on the current knowledge about motor neuron disorders, most especially amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Magnetic Motor Stimulation
This book provides an opportunity for the workers in the field to update their information and gain a sense of the possibilities and directions for the field. Brain stimulation is an area with strong historical precedents in the use of electrical stimulation for cortical mapping. The non-invasive ability to stimulate the brain is new, and the number of areas in which magnetic stimulation can impact is clearly diverse. These facts, and issues of safety and indications are highlighted, along with other papers on the basic mechanisms and pathways activated, the role of the corticospinal system as opposed to nonpyramidal pathways and the depth of activation. The book provides detail on the role of facilitation, potentially providing new anatomical tests to evaluate the nervous system as it functions. Additional chapters in this up-to-date volume deal with spinal cord evaluation and peripheral nerve testing
Neural Control of Skilled Human Movement
This text focuses on skilled movements in humans, while drawing upon evidence obtained in other species. Attention is directed at movements of the hand and arm, with the production of speech sounds also being seen as an important example of skilled movement. Concise up-dates of current understanding of the roles of the main motor centres - cerebral cortex, basal ganglia, cerebellum and spinal cord - in skilled movement and its clinical impairments, are provided by neuroscientists.
Handbook of Pain Management
A concise overview of the most important information about every clinical aspect of pain. It is for health care professionals, in practice and in training, involved in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with a wide variety of acute and chronic pain problems. The handbook is divided into three sections: clinical pain states, therapeutic approaches, and special problems of assessment and management. The emphasis throughout is on the diagnosis and treatment of clinical pain states and includes recent advances in all aspects of therapy. A special section is devoted to assessing and managing the most challenging problems: pain in children, burn pain, neuropathic pain, cancer pain, gender-related pain, AIDS-related pain and pain in the elderly.
Oxford Textbook of Headache Syndromes
Headache syndromes rank amongst the most common presenting symptoms in general practice and neurology, affecting up to 15% of the adult population. Part of the Oxford Textbooks in Clinical Neurology series, the Oxford Textbook of Headache Syndromes provides clinicians with a definitive resource for diagnosing and managing patients with primary and secondary forms of headaches, either as isolated complaints or as part of a more complex syndrome. Split into 7 key sections with 59 chapters, this comprehensive work discusses the scientific basis and practical management of headache syndromes in a logical format. Each chapter is written by international experts in neurology who share their research and extensive experience by providing a wealth of practical advice for use in clinical situations. In addition, all content is up-to-date and chapters incorporate discussions on the latest International Classification of Headache Disorders 3rd edition when relevant.
