Harrison Practice. Neurologia. Con CD-ROM
editore: McGraw-Hill Education
pagine: 856
Costruito a partire dalla ricchissima banca dati dell'omonima piattaforma digitale statunitense (harrisonspractice.com), "Harrison Practice" si articola in una serie di monografie, dedicate alle principali branche della medicina interna; tratta centinaia di argomenti di largo interesse clinico, focalizzandosi, oltre che sulle diverse sindromi e malattie, anche sulle più rilevanti manifestazioni sintomatologiche e metodiche diagnostiche. Una sostanziale novità del testo è l'essere articolato in frasi sintetiche, organizzate efficacemente in elenchi puntati, a gerarchie successive: ne deriva uno schematismo di facile lettura e memorizzazione, che nulla peraltro sacrifica alla precisione del contenuto. I protocolli diagnostici e terapeutici, basati sulle più aggiornate evidenze scientifiche, sono redatti dagli stessi esperti che compongono il board editoriale dell'Harrison e che forniscono anche, per il lettore che voglia ulteriormente approfondire l'argomento, le indicazioni bibliografiche più aggiornate. Non ultimo pregio, in particolare per il medico ospedaliero, è l'indicazione del codice ICD-9-CM di ogni singola affezione: uno strumento in più a portata di mano, ormai necessario nella quotidiana pratica clinica. Ogni volume della collana è accompagnato da un CD-ROM che contiene, oltre all'intero volume in PDF, la bibliografia dei vari topic e altri materiali di supporto (sitografia e iconografia).
Blind Vision
The Neuroscience of Visual Impairment
Tomaso Vecchi , Zaira Cattaneo
editore: MIT PRESS
pagine: 280
Can a blind person see? The very idea seems paradoxical. And yet, if we conceive of "seeing" as the ability to generate internal mental representations that may contain visual details, the idea of blind vision becomes a concept subject to investigation. In this book, Zaira Cattaneo and Tomaso Vecchi examine the effects of blindness and other types of visual deficit on the development and functioning of the human cognitive system. Drawing on behavioral and neurophysiological data, Cattaneo and Vecchi analyze research on mental imagery, spatial cognition, and compensatory mechanisms at the sensorial, cognitive, and cortical levels in individuals with complete or profound visual impairment. They find that our brain does not need our eyes to "see." Cattaneo and Vecchi address critical questions of broad importance: the relationship of visual perception to imagery and working memory and the extent to which mental imagery depends on normal vision; the functional and neural relationships between vision and the other senses; the specific aspects of the visual experience that are crucial to cognitive development or specific cognitive mechanisms; and the extraordinary plasticity of the brain -- as illustrated by the way that, in the blind, the visual cortex may be reorganized to support other perceptual or cognitive funtions. In the absence of vision, the other senses work as functional substitutes and are often improved. With Blind Vision, Cattaneo and Vecchi take on the "tyranny of the visual," pointing to the importance of the other senses in cognition.

Sono ancora qui. Come la musica, il cinema, la danza e la pittura ci aiutano a capire e comunicare con chi vive con l'Alzheimer
John Zeisel
editore: Orme Editori
pagine: 253
Il sociologo John Zeisel, uno dei più importanti innovatori nell'ambito del trattamento non farmacologico dell'Alzheimer, in questo libro promuove una nuova filosofia di assistenza che rivoluziona profondamente il modo di comunicare con coloro che sono affetti da questo morbo. Dopo decenni di esperienza sul campo, infatti, è giunto alla conclusione che è possibile rimanere in contatto con le persone che amiamo anche quando queste convivono con l'Alzheimer. Facendo leva sulle abilità che si mantengono nel tempo, come la comprensione musicale, l'arte, le espressioni facciali e il tatto, possiamo coinvolgerle in una serie di attività che stimolano la memoria e le percezioni ambientali. Andare a teatro, visitare un museo, dipingere, ascoltare la musica, assistere a una partita di calcio, guardare vecchi film: tutto ciò può essere fonte di soddisfazione perché, anche se i ricordi espliciti di queste esperienze scivolano via, a causa dei modi complessi in cui la demenza colpisce il cervello, le connessioni emozionali restano. I ricordi non vengono conservati solo in una parte del cervello, ma vengono archiviati in più zone: i volti in una, i colori in un'altra, le emozioni legate all'esperienza in un'altra ancora. Con il metodo proposto da Zeisel possiamo far riaffiorare alcune immagini, o fare in modo che i singoli elementi si ricompongano in un ricordo specifico.
Questione di muscoli. Viaggio lieve nel mondo della Distrofia Muscolare. DVD. Con libro
Leonardo Baldinu
editore: Centro Studi Erickson
Il cofanetto propone un approccio al problema delle distrofie muscolari che favorisca un'attenzione più consapevole e concreta, senza indulgere a facile «pietismo». Nel DVD vengono presentati «casi di vita» senza un taglio medico-scientifico, ma affidandosi soprattutto al racconto dei protagonisti (persone con disabilità): i loro interessi, i loro desideri, i loro progetti di vita sono infatti del tutto «normali» e dunque comprensibili a tutti. I racconti si alternano ad animazioni che illustrano la malattia, la sua comparsa, la sua evoluzione e le evidenti implicazioni sociali. Scopo del progetto è quello di informare per formare una coscienza nella società civile intorno al problema della distrofia muscolare, non tanto e non solo dal punto di vista medico-scientifico, ma piuttosto dal punto di vista delle persone (persone con disabilità e famiglie) che con questa malattia convivono. Il libro allegato al DVD raccoglie testimonianze per illustrare le esperienze, le speranze e le delusioni di un mondo ancora lontano dalla cultura dell'accoglienza e dell'integrazione.

editore: Churchill Livingstone
pagine: 400
"Headache, Orofacial Pain and Bruxism: Diagnosis and Multidisciplinary Approaches to Management" has been written by clinicians for clinicians. It contains the collective knowledge of hundreds of years of clinical experience. The authors are drawn from a range of disciplines which regularly encounter patients with headache, orofacial pain or bruxism. They have described evidence-informed clinical practice derived from anatomical, physiological, and biomechanical concepts. Patients who present with headache, orofacial pain or bruxism provide a clinical challenge to make sense of symptoms, sources, and contributing factors. There are many structures associated with problems in this region and patients may call on any of a number of health practitioners for diagnosis and treatment. It is often beyond the expertise of a single practitioner to address all facets of the problem without the assistance of colleagues. This book provides clinicians with the theoretical and clinical information required to appreciate the role of each discipline involved in the management of patients with headache, orofacial pain and bruxism. Clinicians are encouraged to use a multidisciplinary approach and to collaborate in the comprehensive management of these patients.

Migraine and Other Primary Headaches
Anne MacGregor , Rigmor Jensen
editore: Oxford University Press
pagine: 144
Migraine is the most common neurological condition in the developed world. It affects over 15% of the UK population and is more prevalent than diabetes, epilepsy and asthma combined. Attacks can be completely disabling, forcing the sufferer to abandon everyday activities for up to three days. Unfortunately there is no cure for migraine, but it is possible to bring the condition under control via a wide range of treatments, both orthodox and complementary. However, migraine is a complex condition, and a treatment that is successful for one person may have no effect or produce unacceptable side effects for another. The scope of this pocketbook is intended to give a comprehensive but concise knowledge of established and salient new data on the diagnosis, pathophysiology, and treatment of headaches and migraines. It will appeal to both clinical and academic audiences, but will also appeal to general practitioners and related health care professionals.

editore: Oxford University Press
pagine: 336
Movement Disorders are a group of neurological conditions that are characterised by problems with movement - either unwanted movements, such as tremors, jerks or twitches, or slowness and poverty of movement. Parkinson's disease is the most common of these conditions, and it affects approximately 1% of the population. Its treatment is complex, but effective, and there have been many recent exciting developments in the field. Other movement disorders are less common and extremely diverse, so it is difficult for practitioners to become proficient in diagnosing and treating them all. This book will help neurologists and other clinicians in the recognition and treatment of this important group of disorders. Written in a concise, easy-to-use handbook format, it should appeal to a multidisciplinary audience. The text is accompanied by a DVD with video clips illustrating the different movement disorders.
