Synopsis
In the clinical neurosciences, decision-making is complicated by rapidly emerging new diagnostic tests and treatments. This concise but wide-ranging handbook reviews the epidemiology of neurological disease and the treatment and prognosis of all major diseases of the nervous system. Part one covers quantitative methods in research, and part two is devoted to individual neurological diseases, covering etiology, diagnosis, prognosis, interventions, and implications for clinical practice. This book will be an invaluable guide to clinical decision-making for neurologists and others involved in the management of neurological disease.
