Epilepsy is one of the most familiar chronic neurological diseases
and is a common yet challenging presentation in veterinary
surgeries. This book covers seizure pathogenesis, classifications,
diagnostic investigations, emergency treatments and longer term
treatments, with a large section on pharmacological intervention.
Filling a considerable gap in the veterinary literature, it
includes tables and charts for quick reference during emergencies.
Seizures can be very distressing to animals and owners, yet not all
seizures are the result of epilepsy, a neurological condition. This
book discusses how to distinguish between epileptic and
non-neurological seizures, and provides case studies to illustrate
different occurrences of epilepsy.
This new book deals systematically with the assessment and
treatment of small animal neurological patients in light of latest
research findings and greatly improved imaging techniques. The
authors first discuss step-wise neurological and systemic
approaches to common emergency cases-examination, critical care and
rapid assessment-based on presenting signs. They then deal in depth
with the pathophysiology, treatment options and likely prognoses of
each of the more common types of neurological emergency, be it
vascular accident, infection, trauma, seizure, acute disease or
neoplasia. Detailed support techniques and therapies are provided
on emergency anaesthesia, pain management, fluid therapy,
post-operative care and physical rehabilitation. The book will
appeal to small animal practitioners, specialists, residents,
course directors and students interested in neurology, emergency
medicine and critical care, internal medicine, imaging and
pathology.
Neurology for the Small Animal Practitioner is a practical
presentation of common neurological conditions seen in a small
animal practice. The book includes clear guidelines for effective
diagnosis and treatment protocols for common neurologic conditions
in dogs and cats. Important neurologic pathways and diagnostic
procedures are illustrated by original, anatomic drawings and
step-by-step procedural figures. Tables and algorithms are used to
focus the reader on critical steps in patient evaluation and
differential diagnosis. Color illustrations facilitate localization
of lesions and patient assessment. The consistent layout, 157
illustrations (102 color), 25 diagnostic images, and 57 tables
facilitate the rapid acquisition of information. Published by Teton
New Media in the USA and distributed by Manson Publishing outside
of North America.
Titles in the Pocket Tutor series give practical guidance on
subjects that medical students and foundation doctors need help
with "on the go," at a highly affordable price that puts them
within reach of those rotating through modular courses or working
on attachment. Common investigations (ECG, imaging, etc) Clinical
skills (patient examination, etc.) Clinical specialties that
students perceive as too small to merit a textbook (psychiatry,
renal medicine) Key points Practical, accessible introduction to a
subject that students find daunting, but which juniors will
encounter either as part of both orthopaedic and emergency
rotations Logical, sequential content: relevant basic science; then
chapters devoted to the clinical essentials of orthopaedics and the
disorders and injuries seen most commonly in practice Descriptions
of common disorders are enhanced by Clinical Scenarios (Patient
presents with...), which help students and trainees to recognise
and manage common presenting problems
Neuroanatomic lesion localization (detecting where a neurologic
problem arises) is key when presented with a dog or cat with signs
of neurologic disease. The correct neuroanatomic lesion
localization will drive veterinarians towards an appropriate list
of differential diagnoses and help lead the client towards
applicable diagnostic investigation. Neuroanatomic lesion
localization is the first step when managing any pet with signs of
neurologic disease. Despite its importance, it remains a challenge
for veterinary students, residents and practitioners in their daily
practice. Laid out in a case-based format and workbook style to
guide the reader through neuroanatomic lesion localization, this
book: Covers the whole process from the animal's examination
through to diagnosis; Includes localizations of intercranial
disease, spinal cord disease, neuromuscular disease and multifocal
disease; Provides blank practice sheets to encourage the reader to
work through cases, testing and consolidating their knowledge
multiple times. Written by a team of eminent, international
veterinary neurologists, this book is an invaluable resource for
veterinary students and practitioners looking to expand their
skills in veterinary neurology.
