ICD-9-CM 2005 Express Reference Coding Card Neurology/Neurosurgery

Product Description
This illustrated text and reference, the product of close collaboration among neuroradiologists, neurosurgeons and neurologists, presents a concise but readable survey of clinical neurology and the many diseases of the central nervous system. Following an introduction to all the contemporary methods of imaging the CNS, this text continues with chapters on neurotraumatology, diseases of the eye, orbit and parasellar region, as well as diseases of the base of the skull and temporal bone. Numerous angiographic, CT and MRI images of congenital malformations, aneurisms and other forms of vasuclar diseases are also presented. In addition, guidelines are given on the best means of diagnosing cerebral and extracerebral tumours and metastases, and a further chapter is devoted to the optimal diagnosis of inflammatory and degenerative diseases of the CNS. The techniques presented here are independent of local medical tastes, but are based on up-to-date technical capabilities which are available in most modern medical environments worldwide.

Clinical Neuroradiology: A Textbook

Product Description
The simplest level of understanding upper extremity neuroanatomy is knowing the basic connections between cervical roots and gross function: shoulder and elbow movement, wrist extension, finger extension, finger flexion, and intrinsic muscle function. However, the clinician needs deeper anatomical insight before being able to accurately locate nerve damage.
This unique text’s method for teaching the reader about upper extremity neuroanatomical structures is as follows: it divides the anatomical structures into manageable, bite-size pieces; provides text identification of the structures with high-quality photos or illustrations; connects structures with their innervations; and immediately tests the reader’s recall of the material by presenting a brief real-life case example with an accompanying question.

Upper Extremity Neuroanatomy: A Programmed Text

Product Description
A concise, up to date book covering all the methods of investigation for the major neurological, neurosurgical, and neuropsychiatric disorders. The latest imaging, physiological, and psychological tests are described and metabolic and genetic advances are discussed. Summaries at the end of each chapter provide practical guidance to the available investigations for the different disorders.

Neurological Investigations

Product Description
A practical reference containing the fundamentals of patient management before and after surgery. Includes the recent developments in technology, equipment, and neuro-anaesthetic drugs.

Neuro-Anaesthetic Practice: Fundamentals of Anaesthesia and Acute Medicine

Product Description
King’s College, London, UK. Text brings together anatomical descriptions of the infratemporal fossa and the main aspects of clinical and surgical relevance. Features information on the temporomandibular joint, parotid gland, and pterygopalatine fossa. Covers local anesthesia, spread of infection, and surgical approaches. High-quality color illustrations.

Surgical Management of the Infratemporal Fossa

Product Description
Accurate diagnosis and appropriate management of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) often presents a challenge for neurologists. The author of this volume, who is both a neurologist and a surgeon, clarifies the steps a neurologist should take when a patient is at risk of SAH, explains when surgery is advised, and helps physicians to treat patients after SAH. All of the causes of SAH, including intracranial aneurysms, are considered to provide a useful guide to case management. Historical, epidemiological, and economic/medico-legal aspects are discussed initially, followed by discussions of diagnosis, pathology, physiology, and medical, surgical, and radiological therapies.

Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: Causes and Cures

Product Description
Univ. of Iowa, Iowa City. Devoted primarily to surgical approaches and techniques. Covers intraoperative considerations, including anesthesia, neurophysiology, and spinal cord monitoring. Describes variations in technique, and specific advantages, disadvantages, and complications. For residents and pediatric spine specialists. DNLM: Spinal Diseases–surgery-Child.

Pediatric Spine Surgery

Product Description
This book provides reviews of the epidemiology, evaluation, and patient management of central nervous system (CNS) injuries. Internationally recognized clinicians and basic scientists discuss recent research that has significantly advanced the understanding of the pathophysiology of neuronal death and facilitated development of new therapeutic approaches.Novel therapeutic agents evaluated in animal models and currently in clinical trials include:calcium antagonistsglutamate receptor antagonistsinhibitors of glutamate releaseendothelial adhesion and nerve growth factorsopioidsantioxidants, gangliosidesthrombolytic agentsAll of these options, as well as hypothermia as a potentially therapeutic approach, are discussed in this comprehensive volume. It will be invaluable to neurologists, neurosurgeons, intensivists, and emergency medicine physicians who care for CNS injured patients.
