Reviews

From the reviews:“This collection of chapter-length essays is organized as a reference for medical professionals who need to stay up to speed on issues and treatments related to traumatic brain injury (TBI). … Each chapter begins with its own abstract and further introduction. … An appendix provides relevant codes from the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-9-CM). The contributors are neurologists and neurosurgeons in academia, the military, and privately.” (Reference & Research Book News, June, 2013)“Edited by a military neurologist who highlights the recent military experience with concussive injuries, this book is a review of the current literature on the management of traumatic brain injury. … Given the interest in this area because of the focus on returning military veterans and athletes participating in contact sports, this book is well timed. … This book is a welcome resource for clinicians in many different areas who need to stay abreast of current management principles.” (Korwyn Williams, Doody’s Book Reviews, October, 2012)
