DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
Pediatric neurology presents so many challenges unique to young
patients that it is in many ways a very different discipline from adult
neurology. To help readers address these challenges, the Handbook
of Pediatric Neurology uses a handy pocket format and streamlined
organization to address the management of hospital- and clinic-based
pediatric neurological work-up, diagnosis, and management.
This practical handbook will appeal not only to pediatric neurologists,
but also to pediatricians, adult neurologists and internal medicine
physicians.
Timely coverage helps readers keep pace with the rapidly changing
diagnostic tools, medications, and interventions.
Summary and outline format allows readers to access essential facts at a
glance.
Practical organization presents each category of disorder, along with a
focused differential diagnosis and clear management guidelines.
References provide guides to further investigation.
Kaplan & Sadock’s Pocket Handbook of Psychiatric Drug Treatment is
the essential drug reference guide that offers recently updated data and
discussion on all current major psychiatric drugs and trends in clinical
use, organized for quick, efficient use. Whether you’re a psychiatrist,
resident or fellow, medical student, nurse, social worker or other
healthcare professional seeking a current psychiatric drug pocket guide,
this handy softcover reference will serve as the perfect information aid.
