This book describes the developments and improvements in electroencephalography (EEG). In recent years, digital technology has replaced analog equipments, and it is now possible to easily record and store EEG tracings and to quickly recall previously acquired material for subsequent analysis. In addition, not only static figures, but also electronic supplementary materials can be included in books, enabling EEGs to be viewed in real-time. In clinical practice, EEG still represents the most important functional examination in the study CNS development and its anatomical and physiological integrity throughout life. In the pathological context, EEG provides indispensable diagnostic information ...
This book adopts a novel approach: procedures: instead of discussing the diagnostic categories of neurological syndromes, it focuses on the symptoms of common neurological presentations (especially in the emergency room or on the ward), and the diagnostic hypotheses that can be validated or rejected case by case as a result. Each chapter covers one of the main symptoms of emergencies in neurology – from transient consciousness disturbances to focal deficits, acute muscular disorders, respiratory insufficiency in neurological disorders, headaches, delirium, seizures and epileptic status, para-and tetraplegia, and head trauma, to acute functional disorders – and includes tables and figures...
In the last two decades, Italian neurological research has experienced significant development, making a substantial contribution to the global cultural growth of Neurology. This Manual has been authored by neurologists from Sapienza University of Rome, who are experts in various fields of Neurology. Special attention has been given to diagnostic, clinical, and therapeutic aspects of different neurological disorders, including recent scientific advancements. The volume comprises 33 chapters covering topics in Neurology, Neuroradiology, and Neurosurgery, including a chapter on Neurorehabilitation, one on Pediatric Neurology, and one on Principles of Psychiatry. The Manual serves as a valuable tool for medical students, including those pursuing healthcare professions, as well as Neurology residents. It dedicates ample space to symptoms of potential neurological origin encountered in general clinical practice and the neurological conditions that clinicians must be familiar with.
This definitive account of the intersection between music, wellness, and aging explores deeper aspects of human nature and later life.
L’epilessia è una delle più diffuse patologie neurologiche croniche; in Italia si stima che ne siano affette 500-600.000 persone di tutte le età. Non si tratta di una patologia rara, ma di una malattia sociale, con forme più diffuse e altre che possiedono tutte le caratteristiche di vere e proprie malattie rare, con base genetica. L’epilessia costituisce un peso importante da sostenere sia per le persone che ne sono affette sia per le loro famiglie, un carico gravato da millenni di pregiudizi e false conoscenze e che si traduce in stigma. Migliorare questa situazione e sconfiggere il pregiudizio è uno degli obiettivi di questo libro, che parla di epilessia in modo semplice e chiaro, per far conoscere la patologia anche tra la popolazione, così che chi ne è affetto possa affrontarla senza paura.
This volume is based on an advanced course on epileptogenic and excitotoxic mechanisms with emphasis on development. Information on partial and generalized epileptogenesis, derived from different experimental models, is comprehensively reviewed. Special sections are devoted to anatomical, biochemical and functional aspects of the maturing brain and to their interaction with epileptogenic agents.
