DeMyer’s The Neurologic Examination: A Programmed Text, 6th Edition (2011) (PDF) by Gregory Gruener

Description

For more than four decades, DeMyer’s The Neurologic Examination has provided neurologists and psychiatrists in training with a uniquely clear and didactic way of learning the complicated technique of using the physical examination to diagnose neurologic illness. This trusted classic also reviews the anatomy and physiology necessary to interpret the examination, and it details the laboratory tests best suited for a particular clinical problem.

Utilizing a proven-effective, learn-at-your-own-pace teaching approach, DeMyer’s allows you to work through real-life clinical situations and rehearse the skills and procedures that make the neurologic examination productive for both patient and clinician. You will also learn how to tailor the exam for different clinical needs, including:

The Unconscious Patient
The Face and Head
Vision
The Peripheral Ocular Motor System
The Central Ocular Motor System
Cerebellar Dysfunction
The Somatic Motor System
The Special Senses
DeMyer’s The Neurologic Examination features a new full-color presentation that includes the latest imaging modalities for assessing disease, questions and answers to help you monitor your progress, and content that reflects the knowledge and experience of outstanding teachers/clinicians.

⭐ give all the basis to became a better professional. easy to read, good information it was a good deal. i m very happy

⭐ nice book

⭐ Perfect!

⭐ It was ok

⭐ This is a prestigious great book to start the neurologic insight for medical students, residents in neurology, neurosurgery and even psichiatrist. I’m the head of a Neurosurgery Service in Argentina and instituted it for the initial semyological approach of my residents.

⭐ Neurology, being a branch of medicine that is deeply rooted in tradition – particularly European – authors of clinical examination textbooks in neurology fall prey to the temptation of producing essays, forgetting that their typical audience picks up the book hoping to “learn” something rather than bask in the sunshine that is the authors’ wisdom. DeMyer’s Textbook, though not aimed at the medical student planning a quick pre-exam review of things, certainly steers clear of that temptation. Though packed with information (a discussion on Babinski’s plantar reflex sign takes up 4 pages, for eg.), the editors have taken care to break down the text matter to suit the modern reader – I mean the one that, while skimming through a book on the couch, has 5 different browser tabs opened up on the laptop and a chat-window in the corner of the phone – yes the one with ADHD.The monotony of the text matter is broken by self-test “fill-the-blanks” questions, often about the stuff you just read two or three lines ago, and the answers are given just to the left-hand margin in the same page. Chapters are organized in numbered subsections and bullet-points, which makes every line an important factoid. Images are easy to recall and the suggested exercises (“try to draw the figures from memory”) are interesting (yes, sometimes childish, but I can’t argue with the effectiveness!). Instead of “lecturing” on clinical exam, the book walks you through ways of testing stuff on yourself or a study-mate, which I am sure would be fun, if you were to actually read this 600+ page book in medical school! The illustrations are also accompanied by instructions on dissecting the brain, so I presume this was written for first-year med students to go along with their neuranatomy clerkship as well.I was astonished to see medical history and a bit of philosophy as well sprinkled throughout this book, which for all purposes is quintessentially American – practice-driven and unconventional in all other respect. The chapter on special senses start with Aristotle (again bullet-points, remember !), walks you through Sherrington and then quickly dives into the present. The section on hallucinations quotes from Macbeth (“Is this a dagger I see before me….”) and even Dostoyevsky ! May be it is a whimsical attempt to reconnect to the European traditions.The bibliographic references follow each section, which is a neat way to organise it. This is among the very few textbooks that I have seen that discuss the “summation effect” that is required to elicit a clean Babinski plantar reflex, the Full Outline of UnResponsiveness (FOUR Scale devised by Wijdicks et al.) and the embryology of dermatomes and cranial nerves, all in with clinical perspective and not just for the sake of cramming the book.All in all, full 5 stars !

⭐ Reçu dans les temps…Le seul problème est que l’emballage n’était pas adapté à un livre comme celui-là.L’emballage étant trop souple et léger, un des coins du livre s’en ai trouvé légèrement écorné (d’autant plus, que la couverture de ce livre est soupleelle aussi).Le contenu restera à l’appréciation de celui auquel je le destine puisque, c’est un cadeau.Faire des emballages livres plus adéquats

⭐ muy bien de precio
