A major contribution to the literature in neurology from renowned
neurointensivist Eelco F.M. Wijdicks, MD, PhD, Famous First Papers
for the Neurointensivist presents and critically assesses numerous
papers that have made a profound impact on the diagnosis and
treatment of neurologically acute conditions. In general, there has
been little historical work in acute neurologic conditions,
precisely because neurology is not perceived through this
perspective. Famous First Papers for the Neurointensivist addresses
this problem by a scholarly treatment of early descriptions of
clinical signs, syndromes and presenting the development of
treatment of these acute disorders. Using a uniform and
easy-to-read format, the title offers a clear reproduction of each
paper's title page, a short historical note, and a brief discussion
and its implications, and a final comment to provide perspective.
Landmark clinical trials that apply to acute neurology are
included, and the book also briefly discusses the birth of
intensive care units. Ground-breaking and indispensable for all
physicians and researchers interested in neurocritical care, Famous
First Papers for the Neurointensivist is a unique, original
reference, providing not only a single source for discovering the
most important papers in the field but also a critical analysis of
the impact of each paper on the development of neurocritical care.
"Dr Wijdicks has been integral to the growth and development of
neurocritical care as a specialty. He has cultivated it firsthand,
serving as a contemporary of Raymond Adams, C. Miller Fisher, and
Allan Ropper, all pioneers in acute neurological care. He
established the neurocritical care program at the Mayo Clinic in
the early 1990s and has served as the editor in chief of the
journal Neurocritical Care, which was first published in 2004 after
the foundation of the Neurocritical Care Society. His unique
vantage point allows him to bring us a book that few others could
produce, Famous First Papers for the Neurointensivist. This book is
an original in the field and should be on the reading list of
anyone who cares for critically ill neurologic and neurosurgical
patients... Reading this book from cover to cover is highly
recommended. The writing is clear and concise, and the transitions
are smooth. Each essay is self-contained and allows the reader to
set his or her own pace. Once completed,the book serves as a great
reference book because each essay stands on its own. The
photographs of the manuscripts' title pages and key tables and
figures are of high quality, and a translation is provided if the
original work was not in English... Dr Wijdicks has sifted through
the library stacks and has emerged with a book that puts the
specialty of neurocritical care into historical perspective. In
order to know where you are going, you must first know where you
have been. This holds especially true for neurocritical care
because the specialty continues to grow and flourish." -- JAMA
