Description
This is a practical book on neurological therapy. It is aimed at giving concise and updated answers to busy practicing clinicians in the clinic, ward, or emergency department. An evidence-based approach is used, but when there is no evidence or the data are inconclusive, an expert opinion is always given in order to meet the expectations of the reader. All neurological conditions, common and less common, are discussed; each chapter has a similar format, and contains an initial brief introduction on the epidemiology and clinical features of each disease. The therapy is then discussed, including pharmacological and non-pharmacological, with wide use of Tables & Figures. Flowcharts are also included in most of the chapters.
