The second edition of Atlas of Equine Ultrasonography provides an updated and expanded revision of the first atlas of ultrasonography in the horse. The first edition of this important resource was the first pictorially-based book to cover ultrasonography in the horse, and remains the only book currently available on the subject. The current version offers 450 additional images with greater clarity and precision in the images throughout and demonstrates how to obtain images in each body region while offering clinical ultrasonograms that show pathology.

Atlas of Equine Ultrasonography readers will also find:

• High-quality clinical ultrasonograms for important musculoskeletal, reproductive, and medical conditions in the horse
• More than 1,500 images, with accompanying concise text describing the images
• A companion website that provides video clips showing dynamic ultrasound exams

Atlas of Equine Ultrasonography is an invaluable reference to any veterinarian evaluating ultrasonograms in equine patients. As a result, this book will be of particular interest to equine specialists, veterinary radiologists, equine practitioners, and veterinary students.

La posibilidad de reconocer y tratar con eficacia numerosas enfermedades neurológicas es hoy una realidad que resultaba impensable hasta hace pocos años. Estos hechos han llevado a la subespecialización, en la que los neurólogos eligen y profundizan áreas de interés sin perder de vista el conocimiento global de la especialidad.

El área de los movimientos anormales es una de las más activas dentro de la neurología. Los cuadros más prevalentes son los parkinsonianos, en especial la enfermedad de Parkinson, pero también los temblores, los tics, las coreas, las distonías, el síndrome de las piernas inquietas y otras hipercinesias.

En este texto, renombrados especialistas en el tema hacen una revisión y actualización de los distintos trastornos que abarca esta subespecialidad poniendo el énfasis en el diagnóstico, los diagnósticos diferenciales y los tratamientos, sin descuidar los conocimientos fisiopatológicos.
