Sir Charles Bell (1774-1842), the Scottish anatomist-surgeon, was a true polymath. His original ideas on the nervous system have been likened to those of William Harvey on the circulation of blood, and his privately published pamphlet detailing his ideas about the brain has been called the Magna Carta of neurology. He described the separate functions of different parts of the nervous system, new nerves and muscles, and several previously unrecognized neurological disorders, and he characterized the features of the facial palsy and its associated features now named after him. His sketches and paintings of the wounded from the Napoleonic Wars and his essays on the anatomical basis of expression changed the way art students are taught and influenced British and European artists, particularly the Pre-Raphaelites. He was a renowned medical teacher who founded his own private medical school, took over the famous Hunterian school, and helped establish the University of London and the Middlesex Hospital Medical School. So how is it that a man of such influence is virtually unknown today by most neuroscientists, biologists, and clinicians? Sir Charles Bell: His Life, Art, Neurological Concepts, and Controversial Legacy discusses the work and teachings of this brilliant man. His reputation was tarnished by charges of intellectual dishonesty and fraud, but his work changed the way scientists and clinicians think about the nervous system and its operation in health and disease, led directly to the work of Charles Darwin on facial expressions, and influenced the way artists view the human body and depict illnesses and wounds. Masterfully written by Dr. Michael J. Aminoff in his signature approachable style, this is the perfect addition to any library of medical history.

Churchill/Livingstone

Widely acknowledged as the most comprehensive book on its subject, this book offers concise, practical guidance on the use of electrodiagnostic techniques for investigating problems of both the central and peripheral nervous systems. Forty-two experts, many new to this edition, discuss the principles, scope, limitations, diagnostic importance, prognostic relevance and complications for each technique.

Electrodiagnosis in Clinical Neurology

A concise and practical guide to the electrodiagnostic procedures in current use for the investigation of patients with neuromuscular disease. Covers basic and clinical aspects of these diseases and related electrodiagnostic techniques, with special sections focusing on nerves in the upper limbs, cranial nerves, and the central nervous system.
<li>Covers scope and limitations of EMG procedures </li>Explains apparatus used for electrodiagnostic study <li>Emphasizes both clinical applications of current techniques and their physiologic basis </li>Discusses all the latest advances in this fast-growing field <li>Offers precise guidelines for practical application of techniques in a clinical setting I have no hesitation in recommending the book to clinical neurophysiologists and to their clinical colleagues striving to assess the relevance of test results." Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry "Tables and illustrations are very good and the general presentation is notably clear. This book is eminently suitable as an introduction to electromyography for neurologists and clinical neurophysiologists." Brain"</li>

Electromyography in Clinical Practice: Clinical and Electrodiagnostic Aspects of Neuromuscular Disease

This new 2-volume reference offers a practical approach to diseases of the muscle, neruo-muscular junction, and spinal cord. Volume I emphasizes the pathophysiology of neuromuscular disease and its assessment using electrophysiologic and radiologic tools. Volume II focuses on the application of electrophysiologic testing to the diagnosis and management of specific neuromuscular disorders. Edited by three respected experts, this essential resource also explores HIV, clinical trials, and neuromuscular disorders in critical care and the operating room.
<ul>
<li>Integrates all the guidance needed to diagnose and manage the full range of neuromuscular diseases. </li>
<li>Enhances the reader's ability to take neuromuscular histories, perform physical examinations, order and interpret laboratory tests, make effective management decisions and offer patients an accurate prognosis. </li>
<li>Discusses new advances in electrophysiologic tests as well as genetic testing and the use of MRI to localize and diagnose neuromuscular conditions. </li>
<li>Examines new management techniques such as the use of immunosuppressive drugs to treat Guillain-Barré syndrome, immune mediated peripheral neuropathy, myasthenia gravis and more. </li>
<li>Features coverage of important topics such as HIV, clinical trials and neuromuscular disorders in critical care and the operating room. </li>
<li>Details both adult and paediatric neuromuscular disorders. </li>
<li>Reviews the basic science and genetics practicing physicians need to care effectively for their patients.</li>
