Modern Concepts in Neurotraumatology First Scandinavian Symposium on Neurotraumatology, May 20–23, 1985, Göteborg, Sweden

It has become increasingly difficult for the single clinician to cover the whole area of traumatology and particularly neurotraumatology. This is now a science with various specialized fields of research. The results are published in different and special journals, proceedings and books often not ea...
