Emergencies in Neuro-Ophthalmology: A Case Based Approach



Description

The management of emergent neuro-ophthalmic conditions can be a life-saving encounter for the general ophthalmologist. This book covers life-threatening scenarios that a general ophthalmologist might encounter, and is designed to help the ophthalmologist make emergency triage decisions for initial evaluation and treatment of potentially vision- or life-threatening conditions. This book is case based, and provides the reader with the invaluable expert views of two neuro-ophthalmologists. One, Dr Lee is an ophthalmology-based neuro-ophthalmologist and the other, Dr Brazis is a neurology-based neuro-ophthalmologist. Dr Mughal and Dr Policeni collected and collated the case vignettes during their fellowship with Dr Lee at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics.
This textbook provides a concise, easy to read, and practical guide to the emergent evaluation of neuro-ophthalmic conditions. It is designed to be a quick read and not to be all-inclusive or comprehensive. The reader is directed to longer and more comprehensive neuro-ophthalmic texts for this information. It is also not the aim of the book to provide information on anatomy, pharmacology, physiology, or other basic mechanisms of disease. Instead, this text is meant to be a quick reference and resource for the clinician in the emergency room or in the clinic facing a potentially vision- or life-threatening emergency and to provide immediate guidance for potentially "high stakes" decision making. The case vignettes are based upon real clinical cases but the clinical details of each case have been modified for teaching purposes and represent composite rather than individual histories.

An interactive Online Guide to the Neurologic Examination with Video Demonstrations – Companion to “Neuroanatomy through Clinical Cases”



The NeuroExam Video demonstrates how to perform a complete neurologic examination. It is intended for medical students, residents, and other students in the health care professions. We recommend that this video be used in the classroom setting, where it can be shown in its entirety or using selected excerpts. Students can then review the exam by visiting neuroexam.com, and can learn about the neuroanatomical interpretation of the exam by reading the textbook Neuroanatomy through Clinical Cases.
The NeuroExam Video introduces the neurologic exam, and then presents a detailed demonstration of the exam consisting of the following six subdivisions:
1. Mental status
2. Cranial nerves
3. Motor exam
4. Reflexes
5. Coordination and gait
6. Sensory exam
.
In the era of modern neuroimaging methods, the neurologic exam remains an essential diagnostic tool. It is a critical way station in the clinical decision making process, dictating whether imaging studies or other tests are required. In addition, the neurologic exam enables the clinician to decide what regions should be imaged, and when emergency therapeutic interventions are needed prior to any diagnostic tests. By understanding how to perform and interpret the neurologic exam, health care professionals in all specialties can help preserve the functioning of the nervous system, vastly improving patient quality of life.

OSCEs for MRCOG: Part 2: A Self-Assessment Guide (Pt. 2)



This book is designed to help the candidate in preparation for the oral examination or OSCE, the concluding element required to pass the MRCOG part 2 examination. Concentrating on testing the candidate's practical knowledge and theory application of obstetrics and gynaecology as recommended in the syllabus for the MRCOG Part 2 examination, the book will assess the trainee's ability to obtain obstetric and gynaecological histories, to counsel patients and to demonstrate clinical skills. It will also help the candidate to appraise critically pieces of written work in discussion with examiners and to discuss the varied aspects of obstetrics, gynaecology and allied subjects on which they are likely to be examined during the oral assessment. Opening with a general introduction to the OSCE, the book gives readers some general advice on preparation for this particular form of examination such as body language, the importance of visual contact and how to interact appropriately with the examiner and the 'role player'. Helpful discussion sections at the end of each case or 'station' provide useful suggestions for further study, and are supplemented by key references. Additional circuits with less detailed information are also provided for examination practice.

Atlas of Pediatric Physical Diagnosis By Basil J. Zitelli MD, Holly W. Davis MD



Without a doubt, this book is truly unique amongst paediatric textbooks. I have not come across any other book which provides such a comprehensive atlas of paediatric conditions. The sheer number of clinical pictures and their quality is exceptional. The book has its own website which is very easy to use and allows remote access to all the text and pictures of the book. Additionally, the pictures can be downloaded for use in personal presentations. For those involved in teaching, this feature is priceless. I would strongly recommend this book to any health professional involved in the care of children.

*Proven learning system improves shelf exam scores
“Superior to other case file books.”
--Chang-Kun Choi, Medical Student, Midwestern University School of Medicine
“Using clinical scenarios not only makes the reading fun and interesting, but it is far more engaging than sitting down with a bulleted text and reviewing detail after detail. This is a much better way to learn clinical information. I have not read a book like this before, and I certainly have enjoyed it.”
–Eric Hossler, Medical Student, James H. Quillen College of Medicine
“I LOVED this book! I would recommend this book to all third-year students… The book uses a clinical approach and does not lose sight of the pathophysiology behind the disease -- GREAT preparation for being on the wards! The subject matter is also deceptively detailed, with much more information than one normally finds in a text of case files. The reader can use this book as either a rigorous self-test or a read-through introduction to the subject. Once again - a GREAT text!”

Atlas of Orthopedic Examination of the Peripheral Joints



Many students learn the details of skeletal anatomy but then find it difficult to relate that knowledge to real human beings when they present for clinical examination and assessment. This atlas fills the information gap between descriptive anatomy and pathology and helps the student make the link between the two. It addresses the clinical appearance of normal tissues and their function and provides guidance on how to examine and assess normal joints.
The Atlas of Orthopedic Examination of the Peripheral Joints provides an invaluable source of reference to the members of all health care professions concerned with the management of orthopaedic problems.
