Essentials of Clinical Neurophysiology is a primer of the basic principles and applications involved in neurophysiology, for the neophyte. In The Second Edition, Dr. Misulis has updated the guidelines for EEG and EP. Clinical and physiological correlates to slow waves are discussed in greater depth while electrophysiologic diagnosis of neuromuscular transmission disorders and myopathies are also expanded. The most recent information on focal seizure discharges has been added as well, and the reference section has been updated and extended. Ideal for studying for exams!

GOOD BOOK TO START WITH IN CLINICAL NEUROPHYSIOLOGY,
By DR PARTHA SARATHI RAY (BIRMINGHAM, WEST MIDLANDS United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Essentials of Clinical Neurophysiology, 2e (Paperback)
I CHANCED UPON THIS BOOK WHEN I WAS DOING MY CLINICAL TRAINING IN NEUROLOGY A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO AND I READ IT AND FOUND IT A FASCINATING EXPERIENCE. IT IS A VERY GOOD BOOK TO START ONES UNDERSTANDING OF CLINICAL NEUROPHYSIOLOGY WITH . IT EXPLAINS CONCEPTS IN SIMPLE STRAIGHTFORWARD LANGUAGE AND IS EASY TO UNDERSTAND FOR THE BEGINNER CERTAINLY . THE BOOK DID STIMULATE MY INTEREST IN THE FIELD AND COMPARED TO THE OTHER BIGGER AND COMPLEX AND I MUST SAY MORE AUTHORATATIVE BOOKS THAT I WAS RECOMMENDED BY SENIORS IN THE FIELD , THIS WAS THE ONE THAT DEVELOPED MY INTEREST . COMING TO THE SPECIFICS, THE INITIAL SECTION ON THE BASIC LEVEL PHYSICS OF THE DISCIPLINE IS WELL BUILT UP FROM HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL AND WITH THE AID OF GOOD ILLUSTRATIVE DIGRAMS THAT FACILITATES UNDERSTANDING OF PRINCIPLES LEARNT MORE THAN A DECADE OR MORE AGO - IT CREATES THE BACKGROUND FOR THE LATER CHAPTERS.THE STAGE IS SET FOR THE DIGITAL ERA WITH THE EXPLANATIONS OF THE DIGITAL ANALOG CONCEPTS. NEXT FOLLOWS THE SECTION ON EEG. IT STARTS OFF WITH THE PRINCIPLES OF EEG GENERATION AND THE TECHNICAL ASPECTS OF EEG RECORDING. IT IS FOLLOWED BY INTERPRETATION OF NORMAL EEG AND VARIANTS AND ARTIFACTS AND THEIR APPRECIATION.AFTER THE SECTION ON ACTIVATION PROCEDURES THERE FOLLOWS A GOOD SECTION ON GENERALIZED AND LOCALIZATION RELATED EPILEPSY AND FINISHES WITH PAEDIATRIC EEG AND MONITORING. THE NEXT SECTION DEALS WITH PERIPHERAL NERVE MUSCLE EVALUATION TESTS AND LIKE IN THE EEG SECTION TAKES THE BEGINNER THROUGH THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF NCV/EMG PROCESSES. IT THEN EXPLAINS THE EVALUATION TECHNIQUES AND THE INTERPRETATION OF ABNORMALITIES.EMG PATTERNS ARE WELL EXPLAINED THROUGH GOOD DIAGRAMS AND ROUNDS UP WITH FURTHER COMMENTS ON SPECIFIC CONDITIONS. EVOKED POTENTIALS ARE IN THE NEXT SECTION AND I MUST SAY THAT AT THAT TIME WHEN I KNEW VERY LITTLE ON THE SUBJECT THIS WAS GOOD CLEAR INFORMATION WELL PRESENTED. THE BOOK ENDS WITH A SECTION ON POLYSOMNOGRAPHY AND SLEEP DISORDERS AND ONCE AGAIN SIMPLICITY OF APPROACH WITH CLEAR DIAGRAMS CONTINUES TO BE THE AUTHORS APPROACH. I HAVE MOVED ON TO MORE SPECIALIZED BOOKS IN CLINICAL NEUROPHYSIOLOGY NOW, BUT I STILL REFER TO THE BASIC PHYSICS AND ELECTRONICS SECTION THAT ARE SO WELL WRITTEN AND EASY TO UNDERSTAND. THIS WILL BE A GOOD BOOK TO START A CAREER IN CLINICAL NEUROPHYSILOGY FOR MEDICS AND TECHS ALIKE.

This book is geared more towards individuals familiar with clinical terminology. With that said, it is very informative.
