Minor Head Trauma describes and explains techniques for diagnosing, evaluating, and rehabilitating patients with minor head injuries. This book emphasizes the importance of long-term treatment of patients beyond the initial moments of injury and treatment in the emergency room. Minor Head Trauma offers insight on: - a range of related issues from emergency room management to psychiatric evaluation and rehabilitation; - the role of electrophysiological testing in patients - including BEAM techniques; - the subtleties of neurophysiological diagnosis; - neurotoxicological evaluation and treatment; - diagnosis and treatment of temporomandibular joint disorders; - the nature and pathogenesis of visual sequelae of head injury; - the speech-language pathologist's role in treating minor head injuries; - the complexities of rehabilitation including problems faced when the patient resumes normal community, professional and familial activities. Minor Head Trauma is intended for physicians, psychologists, physical therapists, speech-language pathologists, nurses, attorneys, and others faced with the challenges of evaluating and treating patients who have sustained minor head trauma.

With 52 videos and 47 audio files, bringing LEMG concepts and techniques to life!Authored by an esteemed team of international experts, Laryngeal Electromyography: Case Studies is the first-of-its-kind book to present multidisciplinary cases on the clinical application of laryngeal electromyography (LEMG), including key concepts and principles of LEMG interpretation. It discusses diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to treating voice disorders. It also describes electrode placement, signal interpretation, and analysis techniques specific to each of the laryngeal muscles. The book highlights how LEMG is used to diagnose neuromuscular diseases of the intrinsic laryngeal muscles, generalized neurologic disorders, monitor ongoing treatment plans, and determine the effectiveness of interventions. The text includes 21 detailed and illustrated case examples with multimedia, showing how LEMG guides patients and physicians in clinical practice to evaluate a variety of problems, including differentiating vocal fold paralysis from mechanical fixation, laryngeal myopathy, myasthenia gravis, motor neuron disease, and others. It also includes instruction and nuances of laryngeal EMG for intraoperative nerve monitoring and needle guidance during the injection of botulinum toxin.This essential guide empowers otolaryngologists, laryngologists, and voice specialists to harness the full potential of LEMG for diagnosing and managing voice disorders. Whether you are experienced in LEMG or considering its incorporation into your practice, this book offers invaluable insights and case descriptions from experts, sharing their hands-on expertise to enhance patient outcomes and clinical decision-making.
