Audio-Digest Foundation Announces the Release of Neurology Volume 05, Issue 02: Nerve Entrapments/Medically Refractory Epilepsy.
The goal of this program is to improve the diagnosis and treatment of nerve entrapments and medically refractory epilepsy. After hearing and assimilating this program, the clinician will be better able to:
1. Diagnose and treat common nerve entrapments, eg, carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar nerve compression, peroneal neuropathy. 2. Perform nerve conduction studies and interpret findings related to numbness, tingling, and weakness. 3. Treat neuropathic pain in compression neuropathies. 4. Identify factors that lead to refractory epilepsy, evaluate seizure rates, and elaborate on the importance of achieving remission from seizures in patients with epilepsy. 5. Perform presurgical evaluations in patients considering temporal lobe epilepsy surgery to define the epileptogenic zone and assess the risks for verbal and memory deficits.
The original programs were presented by Mazen M. Dimachkie, MD, Professor of Neurology, University of Kansas Medical Center, Kansas City, and Carol M. Ulloa, MD, Associate Neurologist and Epileptologist, Geisinger Health System, Wilkes-Barre, PA.
