Atlas of Electromyography Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Very useful book, with the use of this book you can do EMG, botox and myobloc injection in hand, forarm and neck muscles very easely. Provides very good pictures of the muscles with their nerve supply and roots/segments. I start to use it in my clinic on patients that needed rare type of EMG testing muscles and it helps alot. This book shows and instruct you to find the muscle that you are looking for, the muscle primary fuction and movement. I highly recommend this book to whom wants to do EMG, botox or myoblock injection.

The Atlas of Electromyography is a visually alluring book which provides high quality anatomical illustrations of skeletal muscles that include nerve, plexus, and root supply; photographs of each muscle in healthy subjects to enable the practitioner to identify the optimum siteof EMG needle insertion; clinical features of the major conditions affecting peripheral nerves; and electrodiagnostic strategies for confirming suspected lesions of the peripheral nervous system. The atlas is divided into sections on the major peripheral nerves. Each nerve is illustrated and its anatomy reviewed in the text. The authors provide a detailed outline of the clinical conditions and entrapment syndromes that affect the nerve, including a list of etiologies, clinical features, and electrodiagnostic strategies used for each symdrome. Each muscle supplied by the peripheral nerve is shown as an anatomical illustration with a corresponding human photograph. The text provides information about the muscle origin, tendon insertion, voluntary activation maneuver, and site of optimum needle insertion. The needle insertion point is identified in both the anatomical illustration and the corresponding photographs. This assures that pertinent bone, muscular, and soft tissue landmarks can be used to guide the electromyographer to a specific point on the skin. Potential pitfalls associated with the needle insertion are added, usually noting adjacent muscles or structures that may be mistakenly entered. Clinical correlates pertinent to the muscle being examined are also provided. The tlas of Electromyography serves as an anatomical guide for practitioners of electromyography and neurologists, as well as residents i neurology, physical medicine, and rehabilitation.

Statistical Analysis of fMRI Data Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The books succeeds in elucidates the complex world of fMRI statistics. The book guides a reader throughout the process of fMRI data analysis with clear, practical examples. It is also possible to read select chapters on particular topics of interest. Additionally, there are many specific tips and tricks to improve the quality of fMRI studies and subsequent analysis. The value (i.e., price for information) is extraordinary. Thus, making it an appropriate textbook choice for a graduate level course in fMRI data analysis. As additional value, there is Matlab code on his personal website, [...], to facilitate a deeper understanding of the concepts. Overall, this book is an invaluable asset to the field.

"Understanding the complexities associated with the generation of brainfunction images is essential, but this information is often difficult to obtain.This lovely new book by Ashby is a major step in meeting that need. I recommend itwith enthusiasm to new initiates to imaging as well as seasoned veterans."Marcus Raichle , Professor of Radiology, Neurology, Neurobiology,and Biomedical Engineering at Washington University in St Louis

The Practice of Emergency and Critical Care Neurology Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Excellent review of neurocritical care every intensivist who manages (neuro/nonneuro ICU pts)should have. I am currently a second year critical care fellow who will be graduating soon and will be practicing in an open ICU with neurological patients and I find this book very useful as a quick review of common ICU disorders that one practicing in the ICU will encounter every single day.
This book is in an easily readable format with glossy paper and excellent images of the pictures especially CT scans.
I recommend this book to all the current critical care fellows in training especially if they will be practicing in an open ICU in the near future after their fellowship.

The Practice of Emergency and Critical Care Neurology serves as the definitive authoritative reference on the care of the patient with a critical neurologic disorder at risk of deterioration and in need of immediate attention. This work is an expanded new edition of the book on the management of patients with critical neurologic disorders. This single-authored monograph is broad in scope and follows the patients from the very moment they enter the emergency department to their care in the neurosciences intensive care unit. This book condenses the essential information into several sections. These are: The General Principles of Recognition of Critically Ill Neurologic Patients in the Emergency Department, The Evaluation of Presenting Symptoms Indicating Urgency and Critical Emergency, General Principles of Management of Critically Ill Patients, Monitoring Devices and Diagnostic Tests, Complete Management of Specific Disorders in the Neurosciences Intensive Care Unit, Postoperative Neurosurgical and Neurointerventional Complications, Management of Medical Complications and End of Life Care.This accessiblywritten book differs from the conventionalby specifically following the time course of clinical complexities as they emerge and change.It offers advice on how to diagnose and manage acute neuromuscular respiratory failure, acute worrisome headache, acute febrile confusion, acute diplopia, acute movement disorders, acute paraplegia, seizures and coma of uncertain cause in the emergency department. The major disorders requiring neurocritical careare covered in great detail and include traumatic brain injury aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, cerebral hemorrhage, hemispheric ischemic stroke, basilar artery occlusion, acute bacterial meningitis and encephalitis, myasthenic crisis and severe Guillan Barre syndrome. This book comes with a pocket book of selected tables and figures. This booklet covers all essential points for quick reference and has been considered a 'survival guide' for the house staff.

Handbook of Neurolinguistics Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)While this text provides relevant literature reviews in all the areas of neurolinguistics, it lacks introductory chapters that make the later chapters truely accesible to the beginning student in the field. A must for professionals, but outrageously priced for any self-respecting graduate student or new faculty member in language and cognition.

The Handbook of Neurolinguistics is a state-of-the-art reference and resource book; it describes current research and theory in the many subfields of neurolinguistics and its clinical application. Thorough and clearly written, the Handbook provides an excellent overview of the field of neurolinguistics and its development.The book is organized into five parts covering the history of neurolinguistics, methods in clinical and experimental neurolinguistics, experimental neurolinguistics, clinical neurolinguistics, and resources in neurolinguistics. The first four parts contain a wide range of topics which discuss all important aspects of the many subfields of neurolinguistics. Also included are the relatively new and fast developing areas of research in discourse, pragmatics, and recent neuroimaging techniques. The resources section provides currently available resources, both traditional and modern. The Handbook is useful to the newcomer to the field, as well as the expert searching for the latest developments in neurolinguistics. Key Features* Clearly written and well organized* Provides extensive resources* Discusses both history and current research* Covers the many subfields of neurolinguistics as well the developing areas of research
