Textbook of Nervous Diseases. General Neurology
University Press “St. Kliment Ohridski” Sofia, 2015
The emergence of a new textbook of neurology is no longer a surprise. In recent years many such manuals were issued. Typically, the difference is in the amount of the covered material and the dominating tendency is to have many authors who present a particularly large volume of information in certain fields of neuroscience. Thus the choice of a textbook on nervous diseases is rich, but difficult.
The proposed issue is characterized with its search to provide an optimal amount of knowledge in an accessible way. So it continues the tradition of the classical textbooks in neurology, but the information is refracted through modern concepts of neuroscience and neurorehabilitation.
Neurosonology has become a worldwide appreciated clinical and scientific tool box devoted to the use of ultrasound techniques for the detection and investigation of the cerebrovascular system in health and disease. In addition, it has recently also been detected to be useful in analysing the soft tissue of the brain stem and the basal ganglia in movement disorders and dementias. The attractiveness of this spectrum of ultrasound applications is particularly triggered by their absolute non-invasiveness, their availability in most modern hospitals, the rapidity of a precise diagnosis, the closeness of ultrasound techniques to clinical practise, the complexity of the tools in the hands of experienced physicians and technicians and by the uniqueness of the information received not provided by other neuromedical techniques including MRI.
Oт печат излезе книгата “Ултразвукова диагностика в неврологията”, която е второ преработено и допълнено издание на монографията “Доплерова сонография – диагностична стойност и клинично приложение в неврологията” на същия автор.
