Neurology: A Clinician's Approach teaches a symptom-oriented approach to the 20 most common problems which face neurologists in training. Emphasizing the primary importance of the patient history, the reader is instructed which questions to ask in order to elicit the chief complaint, how to ask these questions, and how to interpret the answers. The neurologic examination is presented as a flexible diagnostic tool rather than as a rigid exercise to be performed by rote and without reference to the chief complaint. Each chapter integrates evidence-based and experience-based approaches to diagnostic testing and treatment. Frequently-encountered conditions, uncommon 'zebras', and non-neurologic mimics of nervous system dysfunction are all given appropriate weight. Neurology: A Clinician's Approach is essential reading for neurologists in training, including neurology residents and medical students.

This concise, thoroughly updated text provides a comprehensive, state-of-the art review of neurology and will serve as a highly practical resource for neurology residents and medical students. Emphasizing a practical approach to common neurologic disorders, the author blends chapters that cover the evaluation of specific complaints (confusion, dizziness and vertigo, visual loss, headache and facial pain) with others that focus on particular disorders (Parkinsonism, multiple sclerosis, dementia). Noting the core practice of neurology is largely unchanged from years ago and still largely done at the bedside, the author emphasizes the importance of acquiring expertise in the time-tested, classical techniques of history taking, directed examination, and localization. Toward that, the author encourages a focus on the key clinical pathways for diagnosis and management. A wide range of clinical pearls are provided and the diagrams and illustrations are well-designed and comprehensible, as are the clinical images (EEGs, CT, MRI) which provide excellent examples of a variety of neurologic disorders. The discussions and algorithms offered are evidence-based and state-of-the-art.  Importantly, the author discusses a range of breakthroughs in the treatment of almost every disorder, with new medications available to treat amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson’s disease, among others. Concise and well-written, Neurology: A Clinician’s Approach, 3rd Edition is an invaluable resource that will again serve as a very useful, gold-standard resource for trainees.

Dieser prägnante und gründlich aktualisierte Text bietet eine umfassende, moderne Übersicht über die Neurologie und dient als äußerst praxisorientierte Ressource für Weiterbildungsassistent*innen in der Neurologie sowie für Medizinstudierende. Mit einem Schwerpunkt auf einem praktischen Ansatz für häufige neurologische Erkrankungen verbindet der Autor Kapitel, die die Beurteilung spezifischer Beschwerden behandeln (Verwirrtheit, Schwindel und Vertigo, Sehverlust, Kopf- und Gesichtsschmerzen) mit solchen, die sich auf besondere Krankheitsbilder konzentrieren (Parkinsonismus, Multiple Sklerose, Demenz). Da die Kernpraxis der Neurologie sich im Vergleich zu früheren Jahren kaum verändert hat und weiterhin überwiegend am Krankenbett stattfindet, hebt der Autor die Bedeutung der klassischen, bewährten Techniken der Anamnese, der gezielten Untersuchung und der Lokalisation hervor. In diesem Sinne wird ein Fokus auf die zentralen klinischen Diagnose- und Behandlungswege empfohlen. Eine Vielzahl klinischer Merksätze wird bereitgestellt, und die Diagramme und Illustrationen sind gut gestaltet und leicht verständlich – ebenso wie die klinischen Bildgebungen (EEG, CT, MRT), die ausgezeichnete Beispiele für verschiedenste neurologische Erkrankungen liefern. Die dargestellten Diskussionen und Algorithmen sind evidenzbasiert und auf dem neuesten Stand. Besonders wichtig ist, dass der Autor eine Reihe von Therapie-Durchbrüchen für nahezu alle Erkrankungen beschreibt, einschließlich neuer Medikamente zur Behandlung der amyotrophen Lateralsklerose, Epilepsie, Multiplen Sklerose und der Parkinson-Krankheit, unter anderem. Prägnant und gut geschrieben ist Neurologie: Ein klinischer Ansatz eine unschätzbare Ressource, die erneut als äußerst nützliches Standardwerk für angehende Neurolog*innen dienen wird.
