    Summary: "[This book] offers a concise overview of fundamental neuroanatomy and the clinical localization principles necessary to diagnose and treat patients with neurologic diseases and disorders. Unlike other neurology textbooks that either focus on neuroanatomy or clinical neurology, Clinical Neurology and Neuroanatomy integrates the two in manner which simulates the way neurologists learn, teach, and think. Clinical Neurology and Neuroanatomy is divided into two main sections. In Part 1, clinically relevant neuroanatomy is presented in clinical context in order to provide a framework for neurologic localization and differential diagnosis. The diseases mentioned in localization-based discussions of differential diagnosis in Part 1 are then discussed in clinical detail with respect to their diagnosis and management in Part 2. Part 1 can therefore be consulted for a neuroanatomical localization-based approach to symptom evaluation, and Part 2 for the clinical features, diagnosis, and management of neurologic diseases." -- from website publisher

    Just one hundred years ago, Paul Bert published his most famous book, La Pression Barométrique..., summarizing his work on the physiological effects of altering barometric pressure. After a summary of Bert's life and contributions, this paper focuses on his experimental demonstration of the hypoxic etiology of altitude sickness. Bert showed that functional impairment or death occurred in each of a variety of species at a certain inspired oxygen pressure regardless of what combination of barometric pressure and oxygen percentage was used to achieve it. He further showed that the oxygen pressures impairing function were those producing arterial hypoxemia, and that raising the inspired oxygen percentage protected against the effects of altitudes that would otherwise endanger life. For the next several decades some other physiologists were unable to confirm these points. The criticisms of Setschenow, of Cyon, of Fraenkel and Geppert, of Mosso, and of Kronecker are analyzed in the light of modern knowledge.
