The gold-standard text that has defined neurology – updated for today’s practice in full color

The definitive text on the full-spectrum of neurology for decades, Adams and Victor''s provides the treatment and management strategies needed to confidently handle both common and rare neurologic conditions. Written in a clear, consistent tone, this classic resource will meet the needs of the seasoned professional or the aspiring clinician. Written from the perspective of the general neurologist, Adams and Victor''s has been hailed as the most detailed, thorough, and authoritative text available on the subject.

Adams and Victor''s Principles of Neurology, Tenth Edition describes the various categories of neurologic disease and the main diseases that constitute each. Each subject is introduced by a detailed discussion of the symptoms and signs of disordered nervous function, their anatomic and physiologic bases, and their clinical implications. Adams and Victor''s Principles of Neurology is logically divided into six parts:

The Clinical Method of NeurologyCardinal Manifestations of Neurologic DiseaseGrowth and Development of the Nervous System in the Neurology of AgingMajor Categories of Neurologic DiseaseDiseases of the Spinal Cord, Peripheral Nerve, and MusclePsychiatric Disorders

The Tenth Edition is highlighted by the welcome addition of full-color photographs, expanded coverage of important subspecialties, and an increased number of tables and figures. Edition after edition, Adams and Victor''s has stayed true to its original mission: to provide a well-written, readable text emphasizing a disciplined presentation of clinical data and lucid descriptions of underlying disease processes.

The definitive guide to understanding, diagnosing, and treating neurologic disease – more complete, timely, and essential than ever

A Doody’s Core Title for 2021!

Adams and Victor’s Principles of Neurology is truly the classic text in its discipline --- a celebrated volume that guides clinicians to an in-depth understanding of the key aspects of neurologic disease, including both clinical and new scientific data. This meticulously revised and updated text remains the masterwork in its field, and the most readable reference available. Within its pages, you will find a disciplined presentation of clinical data and lucid descriptions of underlying disease processes.Some of the features that have made this resource so renowned:The most cohesive and consistent approach to clinical management – acclaimed as the most readable book in the literatureA scholarly approach that gives readers a comprehensive overview of every neurologic illnessUnmatched coverage of signs and symptomsA focus on the full range of therapeutic options available to treat neurologic diseases, including drug therapy and rehabilitation methodsCoverage of the most exciting discoveries and hypotheses of modern neuroscience that bear on and explain neurologic diseasePuts the latest scientific discovery into a larger clinical contextAn evenness of style and a uniform approach to subject matter across disciplines that allows a quick and easy review of each topic and conditionA rich, full-color presentation that includes many high-quality illustrations

The Eleventh Edition is enhanced by new coverage of :

Interventional therapies for acute ischemic strokeNovel immunotherapies used to treat inflammatory and neoplastic conditions, and neurotoxicities associated with these drugsNew drugs to treat epilepsy and multiple sclerosisUpdate of genetics of inherited metabolic diseaseCurrent understanding of the genetics of primary nervous system malignancies and their bearing on treatment

Neurology is a complex field with many nuances specific to individual patients. Each patient's neurological condition can present uniquely, influenced by a myriad of factors such as genetics, lifestyle, comorbidities, and environmental exposures. This complexity means the traditional method of learning medicine by subject matter often fails to capture the essence of real-world clinical practice. Like all skills, proficiency in neurology is acquired through mindful practice. This involves deep analysis of each case, corrected in real-time by gold standards such as genetic tests, imaging, and pathology. To maintain and expand one's expertise, this process must be continually practiced throughout one's career.Neurology: One Patient at a Time is a collection of clinical commentaries written by Dr. Martin A. Samuels based on cases covered in the daily "Morning Report", which he initiated in the department of Neurology at Brigham and Women's. Each case is meticulously analyzed, with relevant references to literature and his personal judgment as one of the world's leading neurologists. This blend of evidence-based concepts and expert interpretation allows for a more holistic approach to patient care. Containing more than 70 representative patient cases, Neurology: One Patient at a Time provides invaluable insights for trainees and experts alike.

Samuels and Ropper's Neurological CPCs from the New England Journal of Medicine is a collection of clinicopathological cases (CPCs) authored by two of the most frequent discussors of the storied "Clinical Pathologic Conference" first introduced by Richard Cabot in the early 1900s and published in the "New England Journal of Medicine." In one concise volume, the authors present 18 cases, assembled chronologically, that encompass the wider variety of neurologic conditions encountered by every resident and practicing clinician. Each case concludes with a modern perspective to bring the classic case in to a modern setting. These cases exemplify the traditional method of neurologic diagnosis and are the perfect catalyst with which to stimulate discussions with students and residents as well as a supplement to standardized course material.

Written for a wide range of neurology and non-neurology clinicians and residents, Neurologic Localization and Diagnosis: Differential Diagnosis by Complaint-Based Approach is a concise, easy-to-use guide to establishing a neurologic diagnosis. This unique learning resource uses an algorithmic, complaint-based approach to localizing the condition, developing a list of differential diagnoses, and focusing further evaluation on establishing the diagnosis. Leading neurologists provide up-to-date, practical guidance for neurology residents, medical students, and neurologists, as well as nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and non-neurology physicians.
