A fully updated and authoritative neurology resource
The
Queen Square Textbook has established itself as a favourite companion
to clinical neurosciences training and teaching around the world,
whilst retaining its role as an invaluable reference guide for
physicians and other healthcare professionals working in neurology,
general medicine and related specialties.
The
book continues to reflect the core values essential to the practice of
clinical neurology in the 21st century. The third edition has been
extensively revised and updated to take account of the rapid pace of
progress in the neurosciences and patient care. Contemporary neurology
has been changed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the climate emergency and
the growing inequalities in healthcare resources. The new edition has
been extensively revised to reflect these challenges and affords a
greater emphasis on management and rehabilitation whilst continuing to
reflect the coherence of a text produced from a single, closely-knit,
centre of excellence.
Highlights of the new edition include:
- An updated approach to clinical examination, decision-making and diagnosis
- New developments in neuroimmunology, pathology and genetics
- Neuropalliative care
- Ethical and legal issues in clinical neurology
- The
latest developments in the understanding and management of stroke,
movement disorders, epilepsy, cognitive impairment, multiple sclerosis,
infections, myelopathy, anterior horn cell disease, disorders of nerve
and muscle, neuro-oncology, neurological disorders of hearing, balance
and vision, and the neurological care of critical illness, sleep,
neuropsychiatry, pain, autonomic and urological disorders.
- An emphasis on treatment and rehabilitation of the person with a neurological disease
The
new edition marks a significant transition to reflect contemporary
neurological practice during uncertain times. It mirrors the enormous
changes in investigation, diagnosis and treatment that have occurred in
recent years whilst maintaining the underlying principle that we do
not treat diagnoses but, rather, we care for people affected by
neurological disease.
