\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHandbook of Veterinary Neurology\u003c/b\u003e provides quick access to vital information on neurologic conditions in a wide range of species, including canine, feline, bovine, caprine, equine, ovine, and porcine. A problem-oriented approach makes it easy to diagnose and treat neurologic problems in small and large animals. The coverage of disorders by problem, not by established disease diagnosis, emulates how animals present to the veterinary hospital and simplifies the formulation of a correct diagnosis. Within each chapter, discussions of neurologic disease include a review of the localization criteria and the diseases that can cause that problem, plus treatment and surgical techniques. Lead author Michael D. Lorenz brings decades of experience to neurologic assessment, using a diagnostic approach that requires minimal knowledge of neuroanatomy. \u003c/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eA problem-based approach\u003c/b\u003e is organized by presenting sign rather than by condition, guiding you to logical conclusions regarding diagnosis and treatment.\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlgorithms \u003c/b\u003ediagram the logic necessary to localize lesions and to formulate diagnostic plans.\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eCoverage of current diagnostic techniques\u003c/b\u003e includes the use of diagnostic tools, such as radiology, spinal fluid analysis, electrodiagnosis, and MR imaging.\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eCase histories in each chapter\u003c/b\u003e present a problem and the results of the neurologic examination, then ask you to solve the problem by localizing the lesion, listing probable causes, and making a diagnostic plan. Answers are provided at the back of the book.\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eA consistent format for each case history\u003c/b\u003e includes signalment, history, physical examination findings, and neurologic examination.\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eA comprehensive appendix\u003c/b\u003e describes species and breeds that have a congenital predisposition for particular neurologic diseases.\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eExtensive references\u003c/b\u003e make it easy to pursue in-depth research of more advanced topics. \u003c/li\u003e \u003c/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eA companion website\u003c/b\u003e includes 20 narrated video clips with accompanying PowerPoint slides that correlate to the case histories in the book, covering neurologic assessment and clinical problems such as paresis of one limb, tetraparesis, stupor, seizures, ataxia of the head and limbs, and cranial nerve disorders.\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eTwo new co-authors\u003c/b\u003e, Jean Coates and Marc Kent, board-certified in neurology, enhance the credibility of this edition.\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eA full-color design and numerous illustrations\u003c/b\u003e include enhanced images of neuroanatomy and pathology.\u003c/li\u003e \u003c/ul\u003e |
