[PDF] Errors in Radiology (2012) by Luigia Romano

Description

The book covers topics ranging from basic sciences (developmental changes in neuroanatomy and neurophysiology and effects of neuropharmacology) to special situations such as brain death, ethical issues and palliative care. It discusses various neurological surgical problems and their challenges along with common problems such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. A section on Pain covers all possible modalities for relieving pain in this patient population followed by the important issue of palliative care. The book addresses the issue of cognition decline, common in this group. The fact that basic sciences are included along with clinical sciences makes it a unique read for the audience.

Reviews

“The purpose is to present assessment and management information related to motor speech disorders. The book accomplishes this well with an easy-to-read writing style, relevant clinical written and video examples, and organized chapters that enable readers to know what to expect as they move through each disorder type. . . . this book meets the purpose of providing an introduction to the subject. Its clinical usefulness to students and novice clinicians is demonstrated by its assessment template for immediate use in the clinic, as well as the online videos and case examples that allow them to observe real-life clinic patients to help train their ears to aid in differential diagnosis. This update is needed in this rapidly changing field as new evidence continues to emerge. 4 STARS!” –Kendrea Layne Garand, PhD, CScD, (University of South Alabama) in DOODY’S (October 2018)

“The author strikes a great balance between providing sufficient neuroanatomical and neurophysiological background, with information on clinical presentation, assessment, and management of motor speech disorders. The flow of text across the chapters is well thought out, and the content of the textbook is supplemented well through colorful visual depictions. The language is simple and concise to be understood by most international audiences, yet encapsulates the necessary information for clinicians, researchers, teachers, and students. I recommend this textbook both as a main textbook (for graduate courses) and as a reference or supplementary textbook (for undergraduate courses).”
