First paragraph (this article has no abstract)

This pocket-sized handbook offers a concise approach to patients presenting with a variety of neurological emergencies. Each chapter is co-authored by an emergency medicine physician and a subspecialist in the area being covered (usually a neurologist). In this way, it provides a balance of both perspectives - neither neglecting the basic issues around initial stabilization and differential diagnosis, nor failing to discuss (in brief) the relevant pathophysiology and options for immediate management.
