Including some of the newest advances in the field of neurophysiology, this book can be considered as one of the treasures that interested scientists would like to collect. It discusses many disciplines of clinical neurophysiology that are, currently, crucial in the practice as they explain methods and findings of techniques that help to improve diagnosis and to ensure better treatment. While trying to rely on evidence-based facts, this book presents some new ideas to be applied and tested in the clinical practice. Advances in Clinical Neurophysiology is important not only for the neurophysiologists but also for clinicians interested or working in wide range of specialties such as neurology, neurosurgery, intensive care units, pediatrics and so on. Generally, this book is written and designed to all those involved in, interpreting or requesting neurophysiologic tests.

New Trends and Advanced Techniques in Clinical Neurophysiology

First multi-year cumulation covers six years: 1965-70.

Clinical Neurophysiology is aimed at bedside clinical application of neurophysiological tests, with emphasis on clinical problem solving. Highly illustrated format including line diagrams, clinical photographs, CT scan and MRI pictures with corresponding neurophysiological findings is a special feature of this book. Clinical Neurophysiology is written by clinicians for fellow clinicians. This book will be useful to all those ordering, conducting or interpreting electrodiagnostic tests, especially students and clinicians in the areas of neurology, neurosurgery, and pediatrics. The exposition is systematically organized into the following three parts: Nerve Conduction: It discusses the basis of electrodiagnostic signals and their measurements. The techniques of performing nerve conduction tests of various nerves have been illustrated with a series of simple line diagrams. Electromyography: It deals with the basis of EMG signals, their recording and interpretation. The application of myography in various myopathies and neurogenic disorders has been discussed in detail. A review of single fiber electromyography is included. Evoked Potentials: This covers visual, brainstem, somatosensory and motor evoked potentials. New to this Edition Three chapters: Electrodiagnosis in Pediatric Practice, Cognitive Evoked Potential, and Role of Clinical Neurophysiology in Prognosis of Neuromuscular Disorders. Updation of all chapters in the light of recent advances in genetics, immunology, molecular diagnosis, and neurophysiology. Extensive revision of Electromyography, Clinical Application of Electromyography and Nerve Conduction, and Repetitive Nerve Stimulation. Many additional illustrations highlighting the clinical applications of various tests.

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.

Long copy (cont'd in long field): Clinical Neurophysiology: EMG, Nerve Conduction and Evoked Potentials is addressed to those who require understanding of the underlying scientific principles, proper recording techniques, and the development and characteristics of electrical potentials in normal subjects and the ways in which these are affected by physical factors or disease. This foundation will enable the reader to interpret a wide range of clinical problems on the basis of first principles.

A summary of all aspects of clinical neurophysiology. The text reviews the basics before considering the assessment of diseases by anatomical system and going on to explain how clinical neurophysiologic techniques are used in the clinical assessment of diseases of the nervous system.
