This book highlights the underlying importance of post-stroke
complications during recovery, allowing healthcare professionals
managing stroke patients to understand their frequency and identify
which patients are at risk of developing such complications.
Complications are categorised into neurological and
non-neurological, and the time-frame for these complications both
in the short-term and long-term are discussed. The common practices
in managing post-stroke complications and the skills required in
their prevention are described, as is the evidence base from
clinical trials around their management. The book concludes with a
discussion of new developments and research priorities for the
future. Management of Post-Stroke Complications is aimed at members
of the multidisciplinary stroke team, stroke physicians,
neurologists, general practitioners, stroke specialists in
training, and medical students.
Medicine for MRCP provides a comprehensive review of the material
that you need to pass the MRCP Parts 1 and 2 written papers. The
twenty-seven chapters mapped out to the RCP syllabus, cover all
areas from molecular medicine and genetics, through to medical law
and ethics. Written by specialist contributors and educational
experts, the content is carefully crafted to build your
understanding for both papers. Each chapter begins with the basic
science required for Part 1, before covering clinical medicine for
Part 1, Part 2 and the PACES examinations. To ensure effective
revision, material is presented in short sections with bullet
lists, tables, and boxes. Over 150 drawings and photos illustrate
key principles and clinical topics making them easier to retain.
References to evidence-based protocols and directions to further
reading allow for deeper understanding. Candidates can review their
progress via the 180 end-of chapter self-assessment questions.
Drawing on the authors' expertise, Medicine for MRCP is the ideal
companion for the MRCP as well as a useful reference guide for
practicing medical doctors.
The importance of lowering blood pressure in hypertensive subjects
is well known and studies suggest that lowering of blood pressure
in patients who may already be in the normotensive range further
reduces the risk of vascular events, particularly stroke.
Epidemiological data have also shown that lower blood pressure and
antihypertensive treatment may be associated with cognitive
impairment once cerebrovascular disease is established. However,
the relationship between hypertension and cerebrovascular disease
is more complex than suggested by epidemiological or intervention
studies and this book investigates the relationship between blood
pressure, white matter disease load and cognitive performance in
patients with cerebral small vessel disease.
