tailieunhanh - Differential Diagnosis in Neurology and Neurosurgery

A wealth of neurological textbooks, journals, and papers are available today. The student of clinical neuroscience is therefore faced with a large number of unrelated facts that can be very difficult to remember and apply. In neurology, one of the most difficult tasks is knowing how to reach the correct diagnosis by differentiating it from the other possibilities, so that the patient can receive the appropriate treatment for the disease concerned. | Differential Diagnosis in Neurology and Neurosurgery A Clinician s Pocket Guide Sotirios A.
