? Multiple Choice Questions Section The Neuroscience Journal introduces this new section on multiple choice questions as part of its commitment to continuous education and learning in Neurosciences. Experts in various neuroscience specialties are invited to participate with their knowledge and expertise in this section. Neurology, neurosurgery, and other board residents are encouraged to read t...

ARTICULAR neurology is that branch of the neurological sciences that concerns itself with the study of the anatomical, physiological, and clinical features of the nerve supply of the joint systems in various parts of the body. As such, it is clearly of relevance not only to neurologists and neurosurgeons, but also to orthopaedic and physical medicine specialists and to physiotherapists; neverth...

Since the first cranial remodeling devices were introduced in 1979, both their design and availability have continued to evolve. Today, these d4~vices are used to treat deformational plagiocephaly and are used as adjuncts to surgery for craniosynostosis. In deformational plagiocephaly, the goal is to improve cranial symmetry and return the cran...

Accommodation is most often seen in association with convergence, and it is well known that a variety of clues, particularly binocular fusion, drives convergence. Is there a monocular accommodation reflex, and if so, what is its stimulus? It is important to try to understand such a physiological error mechanism a widely distributed, unlearned, involuntary mechanism present in restricted monocul...

Recent advances in digital computation techniques have made it possible to approach the problem of automatic diagnosis of the clinical electrocardiogram (EKG) with confidence that a solution will be found. Our research has been mainly concerned with the application of adaptive matched-filter pattern-recognition techniques to EKG diagnosis. In previous publications we have (a) shown that the mul...

D.P.M. (Pp. x + 396. 25s.). London: Cassell. 1953. DR. PEARCE begins his book with a brief historical survey of the subject, showing that "the grave increase in Juvenile I)elinquency" has been a source of anxiety since the beginning of the nineteenth century. He ends his study by remarking that the real question is not so much one of deciding what the right preventive steps are, but whi they ar...

The nervous system is vulnerable to the effects of certain chemicals and physical conditions found in the work environment. The activities of an occupational neurologist focus on the evaluation of patients with neurological disorders caused by occupational or environmental conditions. When one is making a differential diagnosis in patients with neurological disorders, the possibility of toxic e...

is pocket-sized handbook off ers a concise approach to patients presenting with a variety of neurological emergencies. Each chapter is co-authored by an emergency medicine physician and a subspecialist in the area being covered (usually a neurologist). In this way, it provides a balance of both perspectives – neither neglecting the basic issues around initial stabilization and diff erential dia...
