The Essentials for Understanding How to Put Spinal Cord Injury Research Into Clinical Practice
New York, NY, October 26, 2012 --(PR.com)-- According to the National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center, there are approximately 12,000 new cases of spinal cord injury per year in the United States alone. There have been some extraordinary breakthroughs in spinal cord injury (SCI) research recently, and the challenge is to ensure that these achievements in research are realized in everyday clinical practice to the benefit of SCI patients and their families. “Essentials of Spinal Cord Injury,” recently published by Thieme, is a comprehensive yet concise reference that will enable neurosurgeons, orthopedic surgeons, neurologists, and allied health professionals caring for SCI patients to translate research results into patient care. It is also an excellent resource for those preparing for the board exam in SCI medicine.
"This book should be on the shelves of neurosurgeons, spine surgeons, nurses, intensivists, rehabilitation physicians, researchers and students. I cannot say enough regarding the value of this book. Like a Bible, it should be on the shelf of any clinician or scientist who harbors any interest whatsoever in the field of Spinal Cord Injury. It is, indeed, a gem!"—from the Foreword by Edward Benzel, MD
"It is our hope that this book will engage and attract bright, motivated students to the field and allow experts and seasoned practitioners to fine tune and broaden their knowledge. Moreover, we feel that this text will enable basic scientists with an interest in spinal cord injury to understand better the key clinical concepts underlying this challenging condition." – from the Authors' Preface
With short, focused chapters, this new publication facilitates a solid working knowledge of the essentials of this important field.
