DEMONSTRATION

 

Differential Diagnosis in Neurology

 

Mark Mumenthaler M.D., Professor Emeritus,

University of Berne, Department of Neurology, Berne, Switzerland

 

ABSTRACT:

 

For the 5th Edition of his textbook named "Differential Diagnosis in Neurology", Mark Mumenthaler invited Christof Daetwyler to become a co-author in adding multimedia and Internet resources to it. That's how an Internet database was created that is tailored to help a physician in the finding of a diagnosis AND movies were collected and made available in the Internet and on DVD where all kinds of moving disorders, seizures and other neurologic conditions can be viewed and compared with each other.

 

BENEFIT TO PARTICIPANTS ATTENDING SESSION:

 

This new toolset for the Differential Diagnosis in Neurology has some interesting aspects for medical teachers. It makes hard-to-get movies (seizures) easily available to be used by medical educators, students and residents. The database (http://medweb.dartmouth.edu/neurodiff/) has some new functionality build into it like dynamic links to Medline offering very accurate source information to each diagnosis with just a mouse click.
