    About this ebook

    Neurology is primarily characterized by a variety of diseases which seem very similar and are therefore difficult to distinguish between. Skill at differential diagnosis is therefore absolutely paramount.

    Neurological Differential Diagnosis is a streamlined handbook of prioritized differential diagnosis, to be used both in clinical practice and for exam review.

    By presenting differential diagnosis in order of frequency and importance, this book provides a practical handbook for clinicians in training, as well as a potential resource for quick board review. Whilst the book covers the most important syndromes and disease entities, readers are referred to other texts for more exhaustive differentials. By limiting differentials in this way - to the most likely and most serious diagnoses - the reader can more easily recall relevant disease processes when faced with a particular clinical situation, whether it be a patient in the emergency room or a difficult question on the board examination.

    The book specifically targets neurology residents and fellows, with overlap to neurosurgery and psychiatry. Internal medicine physicians with an interest in neurological problems and medical students looking for an edge in clinical neuroscience would also benefit from this text.

    The content is primarily mid-level material, in a pedagogic format.

    In order to organize the students' thought processes concise tables and line drawing templates are included. The book is organized into broad chapters by type of disorder and some overlap occurs between particular chapters.

    Roongroj Bhidayasiri

    Professor Bhidayasiri graduated in medicine from Chulalongkorn University, Thailand, in 1993, receiving membership of the Royal College of Physicians of London and Ireland in 1998 and certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology in 2005. He was awarded the fellowship of the Royal College of Physicians of London in 2008 and the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland in 2010. Professor Bhidayasiri established the Chulalongkorn Centre of Excellence for Parkinson’s Disease, the tertiary care centre affiliated with Chulalongkorn University, providing multidisciplinary care for patients with PD, tremor, dystonia, and various forms of movement disorders in Thailand. His research interests are in data science and technology-based objective assessment, with several of the devices he has developed with his team adopted for clinical use, including a diagnostic tremor algorithm, a nocturnal device for monitoring nocturnal hypokinesia, a tremor suppression glove, a PD shoe, and a PD anti-choking mug. Importantly, adjustable laser-guided walking stick has been taken on nationwide by the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security of Thailand for patients with freezing of gait, with established cost-effectiveness. He is currently working with various stakeholders to implement national digital screening for PD, and nationwide lifestyle preventive strategies focusing on the mantra “Eat, Move, Sleep”. Professor Bhidayasiri serves as the Specialty Chief Editor for the section Neurotechnology in Frontiers in Neurology and Associate Editor of Journal of Parkinson’s Disease. He published the first American Academy of Neurology practice parameters for tardive syndromes with Stan Fahn, and also three international textbooks, with his first “Neurological Differential Diagnosis”, being one of the best-selling neurological textbooks on amazon.com in 2005. A Lancet review called it “a pearl of a book for any clinician who is asked to assess patients with symptoms and signs, suggestive of neurological disorders”. The other two books are International Neurology (endorsed by the World Federation of Neurology), and Movement Disorders: A Video Atlas. In addition, he has authored over 230 peer-reviewed publications and has filed 17 patent and petty-patent applications on algorithms, wearable sensors, and assistive devices. Professor Bhidayasiri has received both a National Distinguished Researcher in Medical Sciences Award and the President’s Distinguished Service Award from the MDS in 2015, and a Leader in Innovation Fellowship Award from the Royal Academy of Engineering (UK) in 2016. He is also a member of the Academy of Science of the Royal Society of Thailand, a past chair of the Asian-Oceanian section of the International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society (MDS-AOS) and currently an international executive committee member of the MDS.
