Introduction to Clinical Neurology - Paperback
by Douglas J. Gelb (Author)
The sixth edition of Introduction to Clinical Neurology continues to present a straightforward and systematic approach to diagnosing diseases of the nervous system. Extensively revised to reflect medical advances and now including supplementary tables for quick reference, this engaging textbook explains the neurologic diseases and presenting symptoms that clinicians are likely to encounter in daily practice. It also provides streamlined summaries of clinically relevant nervous system pathways to help non-neurologists deduce the site of dysfunction.
Each chapter begins with a set of clinical vignettes and associated questions, which are discussed at the end of the chapter. The final chapter provides twelve additional clinical vignettes and accompanying questions intended to allow the reader to practice applying the principles of localization and diagnostic reasoning covered in the first three chapters, and to review some of the specific disorders covered throughout the book.Douglas J. Gelb is a general neurologist who received his MD and PhD degrees from the University of Chicago and completed neurology residency at the University of California San Francisco. Immediately after residency, he joined the faculty of the University of Michigan Neurology Department, where he is a Professor in the Clinical Track and the director of both the medical student neurology clerkship and pre-clinical education regarding diseases of the nervous system. He is a former Chair of the national Consortium of Neurology Clerkship Directors, and of the American Academy of Neurology's A.B. Baker Section of Neurologic Educators.
