Neurology And Neurosurgery Illustrated, 5e

Neurology And Neurosurgery Illustrated, 5e provides a concise and clear coverage of the complex subjects of Neurology and Neurosurgery. This edition contains updated materials in various sections and also includes current recommendations and guidelines from the UK s National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE).

Neurology is the branch of medical science that focuses on the study of the disorders affecting the central and peripheral nervous system. A neurologist is a physician who specialises in the study, diagnosis and treatment of neurological disorders. Neurology is a non-surgical specialty.

Neurosurgery is the medical specialty that focuses on the surgical treatments and rehabilitation of patients suffering from neurological conditions. There are now numerous methods of performing neurosurgery, using various advanced technologies.

This book covers all the basic concepts of neurology and neurosurgery, while also presenting the latest developments in the field. These subjects are complex and vast and can be challenging for medical students and young doctors to apply in practice.

To make the subject more accessible, the authors make extensive use of diagrams, from the simple ones to the complex ones. These illustrations often help to explain concepts that would be hard to get across in words. These diagrams are accompanied by notes that are focussed and to-the-point and do not deviate into extraneous details.

The concise text presentation, accompanied by numerous illustrations, has made this one of the most popular books used by students and junior doctors in this field. This fifth edition of Neurology And Neurosurgery Illustrated, 5e, in paperback, was published by Churchill Livingstone in 2010.
