Description
Description
Aminoff’s Neurology and General Medicine, Sixth Edition is the standard and classic reference providing comprehensive coverage of the relationship between neurologic practice and general medicine. As neurologists are asked to consult on general medical conditions, this reference provides an authoritative tool linking general medical conditions to specific neurologic issues and disorders. This is also a valuable tool for the general practitioner seeking to understand the neurologic aspects of their medical practice.
Completely revised with new chapters covering neurologic complications of immunotherapies, headache and general medical disorders, back and neck pain in general medical disorders, swallowing and speech disorders, and neurological changes in the elderly, this new edition will again be the go-to reference for both neurologists and general practitioners.

Review quotes
Review quotes
"Undoubtedly, this book will be a resource for years to come on neurology wards and consults.... The constant advances in subspecialties in neurology and medicine will continue to require regular updates and new editions to ensure readers are as up to date as possible with changing management and guidelines as research progresses. I particularly sought out topics in this edition to determine if they had been updated based on new research, and each time I was impressed with what I found. I learned something new in each chapter.."—© Doody’s Review Service, 2021, Olivia K Gruder, MD(Thomas Jefferson University), reviewer, expert opinion
