Acupuncture Therapy for Neurological Diseases: A Neurobiological View, 2010

Written in modern scientific language, "Acupuncture Therapy for Neurological Diseases:A Neurobiological View" discusses current research, applying multiple neuroscience approaches, on the effect of acupuncture on neurological diseases and the underlying mechanisms. Apart from basic principles of acupuncture, topics include acupuncture analgesia, acupuncture-drug balanced anesthesia, acute and chronic body pain, stroke, cardiac diseases, hypertension, hypotension, epilepsy, neuroimmuno suppression, female infertility, menopausal & perimenopausal syndrome, smoking, depression, and drug addiction. Each chapter is written by experts in the field. This unique book provides a broad perspective on the principles of acupuncture for acupuncture researchers and neuroscientists. It summarizes clinical applications of various acupoints and optimal conditions in the treatment of neurological diseases. For a medical student, this book is a modern course in ancient Traditional Chinese Medicine, especially acupuncture.

Neurology Emergencies, 2011

Neurology Emergencies represents this teamwork in that each chapter is co-written by authors representing both the emergency medicine and neurology perspectives. To further ensure a balanced presentation that is useful to medical students and to physicians from both specialties, one editor is an emergency physician and the other is a neurologist. We have tried to create a book that will be as useful to physicians seeing patients in the emergency department as to those caring for patients on the medical or neurological wards and intensive care units.

Clinical Neurophysiology (Contemporary Neurology), 3rd Edition, 2009

Clinical Neurophysiology, Third Edition will continue the tradition of the previous two volumes by providing a didactic, yet accessible, presentation of electrophysiology in three sections that is of use to both the clinician and the researcher. The first section describes the analysis of electrophysiological waveforms. Section two describes the various methods and techniques of electrophysiological testing. The third section, although short in appearance, has recommendations of symptom complexes and disease entities using electroencephalography, evoked potentials, and nerve conduction studies.

Handbook of EEG Interpretation, 2007

EEG interpretation is a critical skill for most practicing neurologists, as well as for an increasing number of specialists in other practice settings. Handbook of EEG Interpretation, the first illustrated, portable handbook to discuss all aspects of clinical neurophysiology, is an essential means of quick reference for anyone involved in EEG interpretation. Handbook of EEG Interpretation provides practical information on reading EEGs by juxtaposing actual EEGs with bullet points of critical information, making it an essential neurophysiology reference for use during bedside, OR, ER, and ICU EEG interpretation. At once more concise, illustrative, and portable than other texts on EEG, Handbook of EEG Interpretation fits in a labcoat pocket, providing immediate information for anyone involved in EEG interpretation. It is a useful tool for all residents, fellows, and clinicians in neurology as well as many internists, psychiatrists, neurosurgeons, anesthesiologists, ICU staff, ER staff, EEG technologists, and nurses. The book's seven main sections cover normal, abnormal, and epileptiform EEG patterns, as well as seizures, patterns of special significance (e.g., stupor and coma), polysomnography, and neurophysiologic intraoperative monitoring.

Atlas of EEG in Critical Care, 2010

• 
  
• Atlas of EEG in Critical Care is a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the uses of EEG monitoring in the critical care setting. It includes basic EEG patterns seen in encephalopathy, both specific and nonspecific, nonconvulsive seizures, periodic EEG patterns, and controversial patterns on the ictal–interictal continuum. Confusing artefacts, including ones that mimic seizures, are shown and explained. The new standardized nomenclature for these patterns is included.

After the major section on EEG patterns from both a basic and advanced viewpoint, there is an extensive section on prolonged continuous digital EEG monitoring, including data reduction, screening, and trending techniques such as compressed spectral array. These techniques can aid efficient recognition of seizures, ischemia, and other neurologic events, and can help visualize long-term trends.

• Explains principles of technique and interpretation of recordings
• Discusses methods of data management, and ‘trending’ central to long-term monitoring
• Demonstrates applications in multi-modal monitoring, correlating with new techniques such as microdialysis
• Features superb illustrations of commonly observed neurologic events, including seizures, hemorrhagic stroke and ischemia
• Illustrates commonly observed artifacts and ‘problem’ readings
• Includes new nomenclature for EEG findings in the critically ill

Atlas of EEG in Critical Care is an essential tool for practitioners, fellows and residents in critical care medicine, neurology, epilepsy, and clinical neurophysiology.
