    Summary: Now significantly revised based on student feedback, this best-selling text provides a quick, authoritative review of the most important clinical aspects of neuroanatomy. A new, full-color design highlights the essential information you need to know to excel on course exams and the USMLE Step 1. New objectives begin every chapter, contents have been reorganized and streamlined, and all information has been completely updated. A new Gross Structure chapter lays the foundation for understanding the sectional anatomy in the Atlas chapter, and all terminology is now consistent with Terminologia Anatomica.

    Fifty-four patients from the surgical gastroenterology service and 22 healthy controls have been prospectively evaluated in a single-blind protocol by the LAI tube method. The LAI correctly identified 25 of 33 early colorectal patients staged as Dukes' B and C at surgery but none of the Dukes' D patients. An inverse relationship was seen between the results of the non-adherence index (NAI) and CEA levels which was most pronounced in those with advanced colorectal cancer. The majority of Dukes' B and C patients having a "false negative" LAI had a CEA level greater than 2.5 ng/ml, suggesting that more advanced disease than that seen at surgery may be present. Two of 22 normal controls gave a borderline positive NAI. Some technical problems, including the relatively short life of the tumor extracts, are discussed.
