Opis: Neuromuscular Disorders - Tulio Bertorini

"Neuromuscular Disorders" presents a multi-disciplinary approach to the management and therapeutic treatment of the full range of neuromuscular disorders and resulting complications. Dr. Tulio Bertorini and a contributing team of the world's leading authorities in the field provide the latest tools and strategies for minimizing disability and maximizing quality of life. It is in print and online at expertconsult.com. "As a practicing physician in the field of neuromuscular disorders, I have read it with interest and used it as a reference manual in the day-to-day practice of seeing complicated patients within the full spectrum of neuromuscular diseases. It contains a basic introductory chapter which is very well-done, and an unusually large range of topics, well-summarized, making it a good reference manual as well as an aid to diagnosis and treatment contained in a relatively small volume. Its accessibility on the internet may make it especially appealing to the younger of us, making it simple to access without necessitating the book's presence in the office. I very highly?recommend this book for all neurology residents, neuromuscular fellows, and those with an interest in neuromuscular disorders, such as physiatrists and orthopedic surgeons. I shall use my copy as a source of useful information in the clinic and for general review. If I had a choice as a radiologist or nuclear medicine specialist, as to an appropriate but not-too-diluted source of information to assist me in the fields of neuromuscular imaging, I would want it to be very much like this offering: not overwhelming in size, very reasonably up-to-date, and with the promise of being available anywhere electronically." Book Reviews, American Journal of Neuroradiology, June 15th, 2011 I found to be Neuromuscular Disorders: Treatment and Management to be an extremely well-done textbook that covers the spectrum of neuromuscular disorders. Although the focus of the text is geared toward an evidence-based approach to treatment, there is also a concise description of relevant clinical information.
