Current Diagnoisis&Treatment Neurology

As with the first edition, the focus of this book is practical, and the principal intended audience is primary care physicians,including internists and family practitioners. Nurses and physicians’ assistants are also invited, as are surgeons and specialists. With the exception of a few chapters addressing particular symptoms or diagnostic procedures, eachchapter is disease specific and adheres to a standard format, beginning with Essentials of Diagnosis—wherein a puzzled cliniciancan get an up-front sense of being in the right ballpark—followed by sections on Symptoms and Signs, Diagnostic Studies,Differential Diagnosis, Treatment, and Prognosis.
