"Teleneurology" refers to the use of telecommunications techniques such as the telephone, Internet, email, and videoconferencing to improve the delivery of neurology services. Containing 15 contributions from international clinicians, this volume provides an introduction to telemedicine as it is practiced in neurology today. It is divided into three sections: techniques, applications, and practical issues. Technical information has been kept to a minimum, as the emphasis is on the utility of each technique, rather than the technology itself. The editors are affiliated with the Center for Online Health at the U. of Queensland in Australia. Annotation :2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).

The Manchester Triage System (MTS) is the most widely used triagesystem in the UK, Europe and Australia, with tens of millions ofpatients being processed through hospital emergencydepartments. Emergency Triage is the core text for the MTS which utilises arisk averse system of prioritisation for patients in allunscheduled care settings, and as such it is an essential text forall emergency department staff using the MTS, in particular triagenurses themselves. The second edition has been revised throughout and takes in thechanges in practice introduced into MTS since the book was firstpublished. These include: Redesigned and expanded flow charts Additional charts for allergy and palpitations New practices - such as the possibility of revascularisation forpatients with stroke New discriminators, for example acute neurological deficit andsignificant respiratory history Redefinition of existing discriminators Also new to this edition is the incorporation of sections on theuse of the risk averse system in telephone triage, in settingswhere ‘streaming’ takes place and as an early warningscore for patients in all unscheduled care settings. The tone ofthis edition reflects the more up to date, modified approach totriage while retaining the principles of clinical prioritisation,which in the authors’ words “remains a central plank ofclinical risk management in emergency care”. Emergency Triage is an essential handbook for all cliniciansinvolved in unscheduled care settings such as emergency care, walkin centres, minor injury units, primary care out of hoursservices.

Neuro-oncology is a rapidly growing field concerned with scientific developments and clinical applications related to neuroscience, neuropsychology, cancer and oncology. Neuro-oncological disorders include cancers that directly affect the central nervous system (CNS), such as brain tumours and brain metastases, and non-CNS cancers with treatments that produce neurocognitive impairment. To date, the biological mechanisms and neuropsychological effects of brain tumour and cancer have been the dominant focus in neuro-oncology literature. In terms of psychosocial aspects of care, people’s understanding of their diagnosis and symptoms and how they cope with their illness has a major influence on their emotional well-being and quality of life.The development and evaluation of psychological and supportive care interventions for people with brain tumour is an area of emerging research and of high interest to health professionals working in the field. This Research Topic aims to enhance understanding of the psychological and social consequences of brain tumour and other cancers impacting neurocognitive function. It also aims to showcase new developments in assessment and psychosocial intervention approaches.
