[.ca] Practical Review of Neuropathology: The Foot and Ankle (ISBN 0781727782)

Very good book; minor flaws.:
I liked this book. It is quite readable and has useful tables. Plus, it is a bargain compared to other neuropathology books. Unfortunately, the pictures are in B & W which makes the microscopic slides look a little bland and confusing. When you are told about the "red neuron," you want to see one that is actually RED! Some improvements that would make this book great: - color pictures - review questions - CD-ROM of pictures and/or questions

Superb UnMatched Concise All N.path you need for the Board:
If there is 7 stars rating i will do. Well written straight forward, No BS. Outstanding tables could master Neuropatholgy (only to answer your Board question)in a week. The only thing . hehehe, i had to read it backward!! I guess thats have to do with me as a neurosurgeon !! Wish it to be Online!! or as an E.Book or PDA format!! Needs Review questions at the end of each chapter. *** I wrote my First Evaluation on March 2003 befor my American and Canadian Board exams, Now I can tell you the out come,, I passed both the American and Canadian Board of Neurosurgery, and this book was more helfull for me to answer the NEUROLOGY questions in the American board which i got 99% in that part,but still Iam Proud of My Pathology Score in the test, while it help me to master the pathology questions in the Canadian Board, but i needed a push from the WHO Pathology atlas for the colored pics, and again Dr. Fuller should do 2 things in my openion: 1)Add Case senarios that contains CT/MRI/EEG at the begining of each part, followed by review MCQ at the END 2)add a CD that contain live lectures for him to help with the text, so you can feel in class room with the full TASTE of Fuller's Pathology, he is really lots of Fun To listen too and make you feel so freindly to Neuropathology and Neuropathologists!! even if you are a Neurosurgeon!!. It is still a 5 stars, for the little time it needs to master the basics, especially if you have no time to study!! GOOD LUCK!!

Short and sweet:
When I first saw this book, I thought it was too simple to be useful. But, then I read it, and found it quite useful. It's a good book for a motivated medical student (bound for either neurology or pathology), or as a "starter" book for a resident. It's easy reading, and one should be able to finish it comfortably in a month's rotation. There are many tables, and he tends to highlight the board review type topics. Unfortunately, it is a bit too basic in many places (he's aimed at a fairly wide audience according to the preface), there are no review questions, and everything is in black and white (makes Marinesco bodies look quite a lot like Lewy bodies, for example). Nonetheless, it is a very good introduction for the novice neurology resident prepping for the NRITE (but I plan to acquire some larger books such as Scheithauer's Surgical Pathology of the Nervous System and Carpenter's Pathology of Skeletal Muscle to use as references). Certainly a good purchase and the best entry-level review book I have seen for the neurology resident (definitely will NOT be adequate for path residents, tho').

Practical Review of Neuropathology:
This text serves as an outstanding reference for medical students, neurology and pathology residents, as well as practicing pathologists and neurologists. Both authors have a great sense of humor, which adds to the enjoyment of reading this book.

Fun with Neuropathology:
Amazingly enough a concise, clear AND entertaining book about neuropathology. The only minus: The pictures are black and white - but on the other hand by this we are trained to memorize structures, not colours. So for me as a resident in neurology, a very good match - not a textbook but I do not want to become a neuropathologist but a neurologist to begin with...
