Abstract
Eureka – an innovative series for students that fully integrates core science, clinical medicine and surgery. With its engaging and authoritative text, featuring insightful clinical cases, graphic narratives, SBAs and a wealth of other learning tools, Eureka has everything students need to succeed in medicine and pass their exams.
Series features across titles:
- Engaging clinical cases show how skilled clinician would work through a presentation, and put diseases and biomedical principles into patient context
- Innovative graphic narratives bring clinical cases to life, show how to approach difficult scenarios and convey the experience of being a patient
- Starter questions - stimulating answers to intriguing questions make learning fun
- Boxes highlight tips, tricks and key learning points
Neurology & Neurosurgery
- First principles chapter clearly explains the key concepts, processes and structures of the nervous system
- Clinical essentials chapter provides an overview of the symptoms and signs of neurological disease, relevant history and examination techniques, investigations and management options
- Disease-based chapters give concise descriptions of all major disorders, e.g. headache and pain syndromes, stroke and dementia, each chapter introduced by engaging clinical cases that feature unique graphic narratives
- Emergencies chapter covers the principles of immediate care in situations such as severe headache, trauma and unconsciousness
- Integrated care chapter discusses strategies for the management of chronic conditions across primary and other care settings
- Self-Assessment – 80 multiple choice questions in clinical SBA format, in line with current exam format
