Reviews From Customers

Substantia nigra2012年2月2日在美國評論

A disclaimer/declaration at the outset : At the time of writing this review, the reviewer is enrolled in a Neurology PG program. So the point of views offered are those of a Neurology Post Grad Student. The reviewer is a long-time fan of the Harrison’s Principles of Internal Medicine. However the reviewer has not read the First Edition of ‘Harrison’s Neurology in Clin Medicine’. So I am not in a position to compare the two editions.

Features of the book:

Harrison’s Neurology in Clinical Medicine, Second Edition is basically a collection of the Neurology/Psychiatry chapters from the 17th Edition of Harrison’s Principles of Internal Medicine.The Harrison’s Principles was getting fatter and fatter especially with the neurology section increasingly taking up more pages, so this decision to expand these chapters into a separate “specialist” textbook is very welcome (and I hope the “Principles” would benefit from losing some fat here and there).

The book has 52 chapters, divided into 6 broad sections. These are as follows:

*Introduction to Neurology (includes Approach to the Patient, imaging, electrodiagnostics and Lumbar Puncture)
*Clinical Manifestations (includes ~14 chapters detailing the commonest presentations you come across in a Neurology setting)
*Diseases of the CNS (the largest section and the main chunk of the book; includes all the common and most of the rarer neurodegenerative disorders, movement disorders, infections, neuropathies and myopathies)
*Psychiatric Disorders (Has only 2 chapters, one deals with the biology and pathogenesis and the other reviews the mental disorders)
*Alcoholism and Drug Dependence (3 chapters; Opioids get a separate chapter; Cocaine and other common recreational drugs get another chapter)
*Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (has just 1 chapter on CFS/ME even though the reason why it is partitioned into a separate section is unknown. It could have been included in the CNS disorders section)

There is a reasonably good collection of Images in the “Atlas of Neuroimaging”. Some of the chapters (and images) seem to have been taken from the Harrison’s DVD.

Let me start with the highlights first :

1. Most chapters/sections have been edited or co-authored by experts who are world-authorities in their respective fields. For example, the chapter on pathogenesis of Psychiatric Disorders is co-authored by the Nobel laureate Eric Kandel. Stephen Hauser, the chief editor of the book himself has co-authored the chapter reviewing the mechanisms of neurological disorders. Then there is Michael Aminoff, the editor of another famous textbook, dealing with the chapter on EEGs, EMGs and Evoked Potentials (see below for the downside of this feature).

2. The classic style of “Principles of Internal Medicine” where the ‘Approach to the Patient’ and treatment/management issues are described early on in each chapter, is followed in most chapters of “Harrison’s Neurology in Clinical Medicine” too. This is a useful format for the General Practitioner or an Internist who might want to skip all the genetics and pharmacogenomics of a disorder and straightaway jump to the treatment aspects.

3. A discussion on the treatment of etiologic factors follows the core management/treatment part especially in chapters such as Stroke. This might seem a bit disorderly for those of us who are used to the classic pattern of “Etiology/Pathogenesis->Diagnostic Tests ->Differential Diagnosis-> Treatment” in other textbooks. But it works well in the case of conditions like CVA/Stroke where several related issues like Carotid Atherosclerosis or Lacunar Infarcts/Small Vessel strokes require different management strategies.

4. An Atlas on Imaging has now become an unavoidable part of any textbook on Neurology. Harrison’s team has done a reasonably good job with this (See below for the “low”lights of this section).

5. The chapter on the mechanisms of neurologic diseases which is placed as an introductory chapter to the section on Disorders of the CNS, pretty much summarizes the topics of current neuroscience research such as neurogenetics, the receptor-level issues, the neurotransmitter biology, protein aggregation, biology of neurodegeneration and neuronal death. For the medical student taking an exam, this provides some theoretical background. The clinician may completely skip this chapter because the individual disorders have their own sections on pathogenesis. For the Neuroscience/Neurology Fellow, this chapter and the chapter on the biology of psychiatric disorders would be a good primer.

6. The chapters on CNS disorders are, in general, very comprehensive and well written. Almost all of them benefit from the much acclaimed features of Harrison’s such as the Flow Charts on Evaluation/Management, the Tables highlighting the differentials, “Compare and Contrast” of clinical features and the tables on Choice of Drugs.

Lowlights:

1. In the highlights, I had mentioned about the eminent authors of the chapters. However, this also has a downside; for example as the reviewer Justin Reilly has pointed out([…]), the Late Dr. Stephen Straus’s chapter on Chronic Fatigue Syndrome mainly drives home his own preconceptions of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis and does little justice to the extensive research on the topic.

2. If Harrison’s Neurology aspires to become a comprehensive textbook on the subject, it really needs an overhaul in the departments of Chapter/Section design and Packaging. As of now, it is just a collection of chapters from a larger book. The lack of uniformity in stylization of chapters and subheadings needs urgent attention (compare this, for example, with the Lange series of textbooks, which have a nice uniform pattern for all chapters). Some chapters such as the one on Infections tend to follow a uniform and widely accepted format of Definition-> Epidemiology-> Pathology-> Presentation… and so on, but most chapters don’t. The production supervisors have retained the flow charts and the tinted boxes from Harrison’s Principles, which is good, but many chapters lack essential subheadings (for eg: ‘Epidemiology’ is left out in many chapters). Also the Section 3 deserves to be divided into sub sections, for eg: Movement Disorders, Neurodegenerative Conditions etc.

3. I would love to see one or two introductory Chapters on Neuroanatomy and Neurophysiology especially with stress on the basics of neuronal transmission (a lot of pharmacology depends on this) and correlative neuroanatomy. Another chapter I would love to see added to this book is one on “Localization”. This would certainly make it student/clinician-friendly, because the biggest thrill in clinical neurology is still in the diagnostic part.

4. The selection of images in the Atlas doesn’t please me as a neurology post grad student. The individual chapters have a reasonably good selection of images within themselves, so a separate atlas would be expected to showcase some “cool” (although rare, such as the “eye of the tiger” sign) and pathognomonic signs.The quality of the images are not up to the mark (even the Mayo clinic’s 390-page-long text book, “Essential Neurology” has better MR images).”
