Focus on Clinical Neurophysiology


Book Description

This question-and-answer formatted book provides a complete yet focused review of clinical neurophysiology. It contains 534 questions and detailed answers with page references to larger reference books and textbooks of interest. Emphasis is on key concepts that every neurologist/neurophysiologist must master to take qualification boards or to practice this discipline. Coverage includes basic physics and electronics with their direct practical implications, electroencephalography, evoked potentials, nerve conduction studies, electromyography, sleep medicine, autonomic testing and central neurophysiology, and neurophysiological intraoperative monitoring. A companion Website will present all of the questions and answers in the book in electronic format.




Oxford Textbook of Clinical Neurophysiology


Book Description

Part of the Oxford Textbooks in Clinical Neurology series, the Oxford Textbook of Clinical Neurophysiology includes sections that provide a summary of the basic science underlying neurophysiological techniques, a description of the techniques themselves, including normal values, and a description of the use of the techniques in clinical situations. Much of diagnostic neurophysiology is essentially pattern recognition which is illustrated throughout the text using audio and video examples. Divided into four key sections, this book begins with the scientific basis of clinical neurophysiology (Section 1) before exploring specific techniques including Electromyography, Intracranial EEG recordings, and Magnetoencephalography (Section 2). The final two sections explore clinical aspects of both the peripheral nervous system (Section 3) and the central nervous system (Section 4).




Clinical Neurophysiology


Book Description

Clinical Neurophysiology, Third Edition will continue the tradition of the previous two volumes by providing a didactic, yet accessible, presentation of electrophysiology in three sections that is of use to both the clinician and the researcher. The first section describes the analysis of electrophysiological waveforms. Section two describes the various methods and techniques of electrophysiological testing. The third section, although short in appearance, has recommendations of symptom complexes and disease entities using electroencephalography, evoked potentials, and nerve conduction studies.




Comprehensive Clinical Neurophysiology


Book Description

Leading authorities in the field present a comprehensive, clinically focused text on all major aspects of electrodiagnosis in neurology. Serves as a practical daily resource for the clinician as well as an excellent study tool for board preparation in neurology and subspecialty status in neurophysiology. Topics in this generously illustrated text include basic neurophysiology, electromyography, autonomic testing, electroencephalography, evoked potentials and much more!




Essentials of Clinical Neurophysiology


Book Description

This text covers the basics of normal and abnormal neurologic function and provides complete clinical guidance on performing and interpreting today's full range of diagnostic studies, including EEG, EMG, NCS, EP, and sleep studies.

Current Practice of Clinical Electroencephalography


Book Description

The standard-setting clinical electroencephalography textbook has been rewritten for the next decade of EEG technicians and resident and practicing neurologists. This Third Edition reflects the transition of the field to an all-digital environment, with fundamental changes in data recording, analysis, and interpretation. Drs. Ebersole and Pedley are outstanding educators with extensive experience in editing two of the leading journals--Journal of Clinical Neurophysiology and Epilepsia, respectively. In this volume, Ebersole and Pedley cover the full range of applications of EEG and evoked potentials in contemporary clinical practice. The book explains the most advanced instrumentation and techniques and their use in evaluating various disorders. More than 600 illustrations depict both normal and abnormal findings.




Advances in Clinical Neurophysiology


Book Description

Including some of the newest advances in the field of neurophysiology, this book can be considered as one of the treasures that interested scientists would like to collect. It discusses many disciplines of clinical neurophysiology that are, currently, crucial in the practice as they explain methods and findings of techniques that help to improve diagnosis and to ensure better treatment. While trying to rely on evidence-based facts, this book presents some new ideas to be applied and tested in the clinical practice. Advances in Clinical Neurophysiology is important not only for the neurophysiologists but also for clinicians interested or working in wide range of specialties such as neurology, neurosurgery, intensive care units, pediatrics and so on. Generally, this book is written and designed to all those involved in, interpreting or requesting neurophysiologic tests.




The Clinical Neurophysiology Primer


Book Description

This book presents a broad yet focused treatment of central topics in the field of clinical neurophysiology. The volume was inspired by the clinical neurophysiology lecture series at Beth Israel-Deaconess Medical Center and Rhode Island Hospital. Much like the lecture series, this book is designed to acquaint trainees with the essential elements of clinical neurophysiology. Each chapter is written by leading and respected clinical neurophysiologists.




Current Practice of Clinical Electroencephalography


Book Description

Readable, concise, and data-driven, Current Practice of Clinical Electroencephalography, 5th Edition, delivers a comprehensive overview of the dynamic field of EEG. Dr. Aatif M. Husain leads a team of internationally recognized authors who provide updates on established areas of clinical EEG, discuss newly evolving areas, and explain neurophysiological basis of pathology to encourage understanding rather than simply pattern recognition. Now in full color throughout, it’s a must-have resource for residents, neurologists, clinical neurophysiologists, epilepsy specialists, electroneurodiagnostic technologists and practicing electroencephalographers, as well as students, trainees, and researchers—anyone who desires to stay up to date and use EEG to its fullest potential.
