Neurological Differential Diagnosis
The majority of doctors are ill at ease when confronted by a patient with a neurological problem.Candidates for qualifying examinations and higher diplomas dread that they will be allocated a neurological 'Iong case'.This is a serious reflection on the adequacy of training in neurology.It is still possible in some medical schools for a student to go through the entire clinical course without an attachment to the neurological unit.Increasing competition for teaching time has led to the situation where in most US medical schools, and at least one new medical school in the UK, a two-week c1inical attachment to the neurology service is considered adequate.Those fortunate enough to attend a postgraduate course find a minimum of 3 months' intensive training is necessary before any confidence in tackling a neurological problem is achieved.Unfortunately, neurological textbooks seldom seem to recognize the intensely practical nature of the subject.There are many short texts that achievebrevity by the exclusion of explanatory material; these are difficult to read and digest.At the opposite extreme are the neurological compendia, often unbalanced by excessive coverage of rare diseases and all based on the assumption that patients announce on arrival that they have a demyelinating, heredofamilial, neoplastic etc. disorder. These texts are useful only to those who already have a good working knowledge of neurological diseases.

Handbook of Neurological Rehabilitation
Changes in the focus of neurological practice worldwide have led to the need for new standard texts that reflect the current state of this expanding area of clinical expertise.The second edition of the Handbook of Neurological Rehabilitation is a major reference source that fulfils this need, providing an invaluable resource for all professions that work with patients suffering from neurological disorders.It brings restorative neurology to the bedside and shows how a reiterative, goal-oriented, problem-solving training programme can benefit patients, sometimes on a scale not achieved by pharmacological or surgical interventions. The book is divided into three sections all of which have been updated.Section One explores the clinical and biological principles underpinning rehabilitation practice in the context of neurological disablement.Section Two describes the assessment, treatment, and management of the major physical, cognitive and behavioural impairments, and the resulting functional deficits that may follow or accompany neurological disease.The final section explores in more detail these problems and their management in relation to the more common specific disorders of the nervous system. The text emphasises the fact that rehabilitation is an ongoing process involving multidisciplinary problem-solving, goal-setting and education; in which organised care is more effective than unorganised care; and the breakdown of professional barriers within rehabilitation, to facilitate the use of combined treatment techniques, improves outcome.It describes the contribution made by neural reorganisation and compensatory mechanisms to recovery of function, focuses on the avoidance of secondary deficit, and explores the physical, cognitive, affective and behavioural problems that may occur after neurological damage. At a time when new medical technologies threaten to fragment the integrity of medical care at individual and societal levels, it is crucial that all those involved in the management of chronic neurological disease have a working knowledge of the contents of this book.Their perspective on clinical practice will then be truly integrated and holistic and their patients will benefit accordingly.

What is a neurological disease?
A neurological disease is a disorder that affects the brain, spinal cord, and nerves throughout the body. These diseases can result from various causes, such as genetics, infections, trauma, or autoimmune responses. Symptoms of neurological diseases can vary widely depending on the specific condition but may include issues with movement, sensation, cognition, or other neurological functions. Treatment for neurological diseases often involves a combination of medications, therapy, and lifestyle modifications to manage symptoms and improve quality of life.

What does neurological consultation mean?
Neurological consultation refers to the process of seeking advice and expertise from a neurologist, a medical doctor who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the nervous system. This consultation may be sought for a variety of reasons, such as the evaluation of symptoms like headaches, dizziness, or weakness, or for the management of chronic neurological conditions like epilepsy or multiple sclerosis. During the consultation, the neurologist will conduct a thorough evaluation, which may include a physical examination, review of medical history, and possibly additional testing such as imaging studies or nerve conduction tests, in order to provide a diagnosis and recommend a treatment plan.

Does the cat have something neurological?
Without further information or a proper examination by a veterinarian, it is impossible to determine if the cat has something neurological. Symptoms such as head tilting, circling, seizures, or changes in behavior could indicate a neurological issue. It is important to consult a veterinarian for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

Oxford Textbook of Neurological Surgery
Neurosurgery is a rapidly developing and technically demanding branch of surgery that requires a detailed knowledge of the basic neuro-sciences and a thorough clinical approach.The Oxford Textbook of Neurological Surgery is an up-to-date, objective and readable text that covers the full scope of neurosurgical practice.It is part of the Oxford Textbooks in Surgery series, edited by Professor Sir Peter Morris. The book is split into 20 overarching sections (Principles of Neurosurgery, Neuro-oncology of Intrinsic Tumours; Extra-axial Tumours and Skull Lesions; Cerebro-Pontine Angle Tumours; Sellar and Supra-Sellar Tumours; Posterior Fossa Tumours; Pineal tumours; Uncommon Tumours and Tumour Syndromes; Neurotrauma and Intensive Care; Vascular Neurosurgery; Principles of Spinal Surgery; Spinal Pathology; Spinal Trauma; Peripheral Nerve Surgery; Functional Neurosurgery; Epilepsy; Paediatric Neurosurgery; Neurosurgery for Cerebrospinal Fluid Disorders and Neurosurgical Infection).Each section takes a dual approach with, 'Generic Surgical Management' chapters that focus on specific clinical problems facing the neurosurgeon (e.g. sellar/supra-sellar tumour, Intradural Spina Tumours etc.) and 'Pathology-Specific' chapters (e.g.Glioma, Meningeal Tumours, Scoliosis and Spinal Deformity, Aneurysm etc.).Where appropriate, this division provides the reader with easily accessible information for both clinical problems which present in a regional fashion and specific pathologies.The generic chapters cover aspects such as operative approaches, neuroanatomy and nuances.Specifically each chapter in the book incorporates several strands.Firstly the fundamental neuroscience (anatomy, pathology, genetics etc.) that underlies the clinical practice.Secondly, a review of the requisite clinical investigations (e.g. angiography, electrodiagnostics, radiology). Thirdly, a thorough evidence based review of clinical practice.Following this a consideration of the key debates and controversies in the field with 'pro-' and 'con-' sections (e.g. minimally invasive spine surgery, microsurgical treatment of aneurysms) is provided.A summary of the key papers and clinical scales relevant to neurosurgery form the concluding part. The book is a 'one-stop' text for trainees and consultants in neurosurgery, residents, those preparing for sub-specialty exams and other professionals allied to surgery who need to gain an understanding of the field.It acts as both a point of reference to provide a focussed refresher for the experienced neurosurgeon as well as a trusted training resource.

Neurological Rehabilitation : Optimizing motor performance
Janet Carr and Roberta Shepherd head up a new team of eminent authors for the second edition of this definitive text on neurological physiotherapy.In the first edition, the authors described a model of neurological rehabilitation for individuals with motor dysfunction based on scientific research in the areas of neuromuscular control, biomechanics, motor skill learning, and the link between cognition and action, together with developments in pathology and adaptation. The new edition continues to advance this model while identifying and incorporating the many advances that have occurred in the last decade in the understanding and treatment of adults with neurological conditions, whether caused by accident or disease.Among these advances is the knowledge that the brain retains a plastic potential to reorganize, even in old and/or lesioned brains, and that neural plasticity can be influenced by task-related mental and physical practice in a stimulating environment.There is also an increasing body of knowledge related to the musculoskeletal system's adaptability and the need to prevent length and stiffness- related changes in muscle contractility, together with loss of aerobic fitness and endurance.There is an expanding body of clinical research that appears to support the model provided here. The training guidelines outlined in Neurological Rehabilitation are based on biomechanical constructs and motor relearning research, applied to enhance brain reorganization and muscle contractility, and encourage functional recovery of the patient.It connects science and clinical practice enabling students and practitioners to develop their knowledge and use new clinical methods based on modern scientific understanding. All chapters have been revised, some with the collaboration of five specialists who are engaged in high level scientific research and clinical practice Biomechanical models are presented to provide a framework for action-specific training and exercise to improve performance Clinical guidelines are science- and evidence-based Emphasis is on new approaches to the delivery of neurological rehabilitation that increase the time spent in mental and physical activity, and the intensity of practice and exercise Up-to-date referencing

What happens during a neurological examination?
During a neurological examination, a healthcare professional will assess the patient's nervous system function, including their mental status, cranial nerves, motor function, sensory function, reflexes, and coordination. This may involve asking the patient questions to evaluate their mental status, testing their vision, hearing, and other cranial nerve functions, assessing their muscle strength and tone, checking their ability to feel sensations, and evaluating their reflexes and coordination. The examination helps the healthcare provider to identify any abnormalities or signs of neurological conditions.
-
What is the second neurological question?
The second neurological question is typically related to the patient's sensory function. This may involve asking about any changes in sensation, such as numbness, tingling, or loss of feeling in specific areas of the body. The healthcare provider may also inquire about the patient's ability to perceive different types of sensation, such as light touch, temperature, and vibration. This information helps the provider assess the function of the patient's sensory nerves and identify any potential neurological issues.
-
How long does a neurological rehabilitation last?
The duration of neurological rehabilitation varies depending on the individual's condition, severity of the injury, and progress made during the rehabilitation process. It can last anywhere from a few weeks to several months, or even years in some cases. The goal of neurological rehabilitation is to help the individual regain function and independence, so the duration of the program is tailored to meet the specific needs and goals of the patient.

Is tarsal tunnel syndrome orthopedic or neurological?
Tarsal tunnel syndrome is a condition that affects the tibial nerve as it passes through the tarsal tunnel in the ankle. While it primarily involves compression of the nerve, it is considered to be more closely related to orthopedics due to its association with the musculoskeletal system. However, because it involves nerve compression and can cause neurological symptoms such as tingling, numbness, and weakness in the foot, it also has neurological aspects. Therefore, tarsal tunnel syndrome can be considered to have both orthopedic and neurological components.
