Press release from: Thieme Publishers

New York/Stuttgart, April 2011 – Published by Thieme, the leading publisher of neurosurgery board review books, “Neurosurgery Rounds: Questions and Answers” is the ideal pocket guide for residents preparing for their board examinations or the situations encountered on neurosurgery rotation.

Called “pimping” in residents’ vernacular, this rapid-fire style of quizzing used during rounds requires speed of mind and clarity of thought across all topics in the expansive subject of neurosurgery. This pocket-sized text facilitates on-the-go reference in a clear, concise, yet comprehensive manner.

“The purpose of this book is to provide a diversified coverage of the multiple disciplines that are involved and intertwined in the understanding, care, and treatment of neurosurgical patients,” says author Dr. Mark Shaya, MD, Neurosurgical Institute of Florida.

Designed to enhance residents’ problem -solving abilities, this comprehensive guide contains more than 1,600 questions plus 30 actual cases to illustrate key points. In addition, more than 150 radiographs and drawings demonstrate the need-to-know concepts to help students master the tenets of neurosurgery.

“The amount of information required to complete neurosurgery residency training can be very intimidating and broad. We have attempted to present material in a way to best be able to retain and understand complex concepts and other rare diseases which are broken down to their bare essentials,” says Dr. Shaya.
