Duus' Topical Diagnosis in Neurology: Anatomy, Physiology, Signs, Symptoms (Thieme Flexibook)

For decades medical students and practicing physicians all over the world have relied on Duus's classic Topical Diagnosis in Neurology to help them understand the anatomy, function, and disorders of the human nervous system. In this edition, a team of experts combines this proven format with cutting-edge science and up-to-date illustrations for a new generation of medical professionals. Features include: Two entirely new chapters on the elements of the nervous system and on the blood supply and vascular disorders of the central nervous system A interdisciplinary approach, consisting of an integrated presentation of preclinical and clinical knowledge, as well as the anatomy, function, and syndromes of the CNS A logical, thematic structure, an improved layout, more color-coding, and useful summaries at the beginning of each chapter Clinical correlations and study aids designed to support and complement current medical school curricula Completely modernized case studies and state-of-the-art images that reflect current clinical practice More than 400 illustrations, including four-color anatomical drawings and CT and MR images of the highest quality Celebrated by readers and reviewers alike for its unique goal-oriented approach, Topical Diagnosis in Neurology -- fully revised -- remains both an excellent refresher for practicing physicians and an essential tool for all those in training.
