Plum and Posner's Diagnosis of Stupor and Coma

After nearly 25 years, it is finally here: the Fourth Edition of the classic text Plum and Posner's Diagnosis of Stupor and Coma. Clifford B. Saper, Chair of Neurology at Harvard Medical School, and Nicholas D. Schiff of Weill Medical College in NY join the original authors to thoroughly update this seminal text with over 90% new material.The goal of the new edition is to provide a clinically slanted volume that will help the reader understand and diagnose severe brain dysfunction both as it exists and as it evolves in the seriously ill. The book remains a treatise on pathophysiology because recent imaging, electrophysiologic, and biochemical technologies (discussed in the book) are by themselves insufficient substitutes for the physician's educated mind in the diagnosis and management of patients.
