This comprehensive guide explores the evaluation and management of dizziness across different age groups, from childhood to the elderly. It begins with pediatric vestibular embryology and progresses through diagnostic methods and differential diagnoses. The adolescent section emphasizes migraine-associated vertigo, while the adult segment addresses trauma-related dizziness and medicolegal considerations. The elderly chapter focuses on multifactorial causes, including polypharmacy and stroke risks. The text includes clinical scenarios and critical signs to aid practitioners in accurate diagnosis and management.

With the Confederate Army firing on Fort Sumter, an invasion of Washington, DC, from Secessionist Virginia seems imminent. Lincoln's trusted aide, Adam Speed Quinn, and Quinn's friend Senator Jim Lane hastily assemble a motley crew of just over a hundred men and garrison them in the East Room at the White House. Dubbed the Frontier Guard, these rough-and-tumble patriots steel themselves for the inevitable attack. But at dawn, one of the Frontier Guard lies dead in the oval library, throat slit ear to ear. When Dr. Hilton examines the body, he makes a startling discovery that overturns all Quinn's assumptions about the murder. -- adapted from jacket.
