More About This Textbook
Overview
Widely known and well-respected, The Little Black Book of Neurology has, through four successful editions, represented a thorough yet portable reference on this complex field, presenting definitions, classifications, and guidance on diagnosis and management for a wide range of neurological disorders. The 5th Edition offers updated and expanded coverage of neuropharmacology and neuroimaging – plus a new, more user-friendly, fast-access format that makes the book even more ideal for quick clinical consultation or as a refresher for the Boards.
• Presents a comprehensive, yet concise, “all-in-one” introduction to neurology in a portable, practical format.
• Presents information in a newly structured format that makes reference faster and easier than ever.
• Enables you to access critical guidance at a glance with many new tables of differential diagnosis, patient evaluation, and treatment options.
• Covers many new topics including significantly expanded sections on sleep, neuromuscular disorders, and critical care.
• Includes four new appendices – Neurocritical Emergencies • Therapeutic Care • AAN Guideline Summaries • and Scales – highlighting evidence-based guidelines when available, enabling you to make more informed clinical judgments.
• Offers updated and expanded coverage of neuropharmacology and neuroimaging.
Editorial Reviews
Doody Review Services
Reviewer: Daniel B Hier, MD (University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine)Description:This is a concisely written pocket handbook of clinical neurology written "by residents for residents."
Purpose:It is designed to be a portable quick reference tool for neurology residents needing quick access to neurology references during clinical care.
Audience:This book is designed for neurology residents. However, medical students rotating on neurology will also find this book useful.
Features:The book is organized alphabetically into brief topics followed by a few key references after each topic. Topics run from abscess and aneurysm to West syndrome and Wilson's disease. Discussions are brief but useful. The diagrams suffer from the compression needed to achieve a 4 inch by 6 inch format. However, the book does fit conveniently into a lab coat pocket.
Assessment:The book is filled with much useful information for the neurology house officer. It contains much information that the house officer needs but has not yet committed to memory. It is a rich source of concise information. Combined with its small size, this makes it an attractive addition to the side pocket of the neurology house officer's lab coat.
From The Critics
Reviewer:MaryAnhthu Thi Do, DO(University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine)Description:This is a concise guide to neurological syndromes and classifications. The previous edition was published in 1995.
Purpose:The purpose is to provide updated, "quickly retrievable, practical information for students, housestaff, and practicing neurologists." This book meets the authors' objectives.
Audience:The book is written for students and physicians working with patients with neurologic disease. The authors, teaching as well as practicing neurologists, are credible authorities.
Features:There is a quick overview of a majority of the neurologic diseases. This edition has been improved with features that make it user friendly. The font appears larger. The index now has page numbers for easier access to information. There is a table of contents that was lacking in the last edition. The majority of the tables are printed on one page instead of spread out over two pages. However, the references are at times insufficient.
Assessment:As a neurology resident, I found this book to be useful as a quick guide while on rounds and this edition is easier to use than the previous one. However, the Massachusetts General Hospital Handbook of Neurology, by Flaherty (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2000), provides a better concise overview of neurologic differential diagnosis and treatment.
From The Critics
From "abscess, brain" to "zoster," Zaidat and Lerner (neurology, Case Western U. School of Medicine) cover practical information in a concise field guide to help neurologists, staff, and students keep up-to-date in the field. The inside covers feature the NIH Stroke Scale and the Rosenbaum Pocket Vision Screener. Illustrations are by a MD. Previous editions appeared in 1995, 1991, and 1987. Annotation c.
