Since the previous edition, we have added two chapters: Chapter 6 Intracranial monitoring and Chapter 8 Quantitative EEG. We have updated all nomenclature to adhere to the most current guidelines, and we have made the video library and the question-and-answer section (which is online material) more extensive and more fun.

AD: During my training at Johns Hopkins, I observed the “art” of craniofacial surgery, where experienced practitioners seamlessly envisioned and executed procedures. Upon starting my practice, I struggled with replicating their foresight. Leveraging computer assisted surgery, I successfully “shifted the learning curve”, achieving outcomes comparable to more experienced peers. Collaborating with my colleagues and co-authors, we wrote several papers exploring the novel applications of this technology in craniofacial surgery. This book, a collective effort, synthesizes our insights to serve as a valuable resource, aiding less experienced surgeons in navigating their learning curve and optimizing patient outcomes. MORE
The motivation to write our Neuromuscular and Electrodiagnostic Medicine Board Review, 1st Edition book stemmed from our direct experience during residency and fellowship training. We recognized a significant gap in resources tailored specifically for board exams, including American Board of Electrodiagnostic Medicine, as well as American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology; there was no comprehensive board review book available. Despite the limited resources, we were fortunate to attain satisfactory scores in these examinations ourselves, but the experience prompted us to conceptualize a resource that distills essential points for a comprehensive review. Moreover, the use of questions as a learning tool is an excellent approach to solidify understanding of key concepts in neuromuscular and electrodiagnostic medicine. This method not only reinforces the material but also helps in identifying and addressing any knowledge gaps for learners. MORE
