Additional Details
A Video Atlas of Neuromuscular Disorders is the essential reference on adult neuromuscular disorders and their diagnosis and treatment. Written with the busy Fellow, Resident, and clinician in mind, the work utilizes real clinic videos as the key teaching tools to demonstrate clinical symptoms and how neurologists identify and diagnose them. Perfect for preparing for the neurology and neuromuscular boards, this book and accompanying videos have become an invaluable resource for neurology and neuromuscular training programs, while catering to the too-busy and often-overwhelmed modern doctor with its straightforward structure and language. All videos are supplemented with challenging multiple-choice questions to test the reader's knowledge and understanding. Each chapter is organized by cases, which start with a video, a description of the patient's symptoms, multiple choice questions, the diagnosis, and key references.
- • Comprised of 311 video cases (46 new), each containing a description of the patient's symptoms, multiple choice questions about possible diagnoses, the actual diagnosis, and key references
- • Serves as an invaluable resource for neurology and neuromuscular training programs, as well as the too-busy and often-overwhelmed doctor
- • Chapters are organized by symptom, rather than disease
New to this Edition:
- • COVID-19 related neuromuscular disorders such as neuropathies and plexopathies are discussed
- • A new chapter on the use of ultrasound, with 19 cases of video and discussion are included
- • Contains new videos of muscle and nerve biopsies, as well as information about several new medications for myasthenia gravis, ALS, and amyloidosis
The intended audience is neurology practitioners, particularly those in residency and/or medical school. Rather than focusing on very rare conditions, the book covers the most common physical exam findings and demonstrates how they relate to specific neuromuscular disorders. The book helpfully summarizes key exam findings and how they relate to medical conditions. The book is appropriately written for this audience with the answers providing detailed explanations of thought processes for diagnosing the various conditions. The author is a well-respected expert in neuromuscular neurology who has worked in the field for many years, and his knowledge base is demonstrated in this book.
Doody's Review
"The pictures and illustrations are in black and white, and the videos are in color. This edition brings updates to diagnosis and treatment."
-- Eduardo De Sousa, MD, FAAN, FAANEM (Mercy NeuroScience Institute) Doody's Review
"This is useful for residents and medical students who are interested in, or practice, neurology. It highlights common physical exam findings that are associated with neuromuscular disorders and is a great introductory resource for the field. The second edition is warranted as there are many more exam findings that can be covered. This book should be available to all neurology programs."
-- Aniket Natekar, MD (Thomas Jefferson University) Doody's Review - previous edition
