Neuroscience for Neurosurgeons
With advances in medicine and medical innovation, the face of neurosurgery has changed dramatically. A new era of surgeons values the need to undertake research in everyday practice and actively participate in the clinic and laboratory in order to improve patient prognosis. Highlighting the principles of basic neuroscience and its application to neurosurgical disease, this book breaks down neurological conditions into current academic themes and advances. The book is split into two sections, with the first covering basic and computational neuroscience including neuroanatomy, synaptic transmission and the growing use of artificial intelligence. The second section concentrates on specific conditions, such as gliomas, spinal tumors, and peripheral nerve injury. Outlining the clinical and pathophysiological principles of neurological conditions, this valuable book describes key animal models, helping clinicians design and conduct appropriate research projects to further knowledge and improve prognosis.
Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy and Radiculopathy
Degenerative disorders of the cervical spine are among the more common reasons why patients seek medical attention or consult with a spine specialist. These conditions can lead to neck pain and/or neurological deficit that can significantly compromise an individual’s quality of life. Despite the regularity of these conditions, there remains both uncertainty and controversy regarding optimal management. No standard of care exists, however there are nuances related to a patients history, clinical presentation, and imaging that may make one approach more conducive to clinical success. This text is intended to serve as a comprehensive, up-to-date resource for clinicians involved in the managem...
