Book description
With contributions from the top neurovascular centers around the world,
this valuable resource explores the remarkable progress made in treating
cerebral vasospasm, enhanced by nearly 200 high-quality illustrations.
Coverage includes: the role of potassium channels, the use of PET
scanning, management with thrombolytic agents, decision analysis in
treatment plans, and much more. You will also find the latest
information on molecular mechanisms, remodeling and inflammation,
experimental endothelium research, and the pathophysiology of vasospasm.
Special features:Contributions from top international specialistsReviews
all new clinical and research advancesOffers authoritative coverage of
pathophysiology, experimental treatments, endovascular surgery, and
other important management issuesNearly 200 clear images bring material
to life and highlight key conceptsStraightforward text designed for easy
readability and quick referenceThe study of cerebral vasospasm following
aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage has seen great strides in the past
decade, leading to significant progress in diagnostic and therapeutic
techniques. Offering an incisive summary of these advances, here is the
book that all neurosurgeons, vascular specialists, emergency room
physicians, and neuroradiologists need for a deeper understanding of
this multi-faceted condition. "This book contains a collection of
articles representing the latest basic and clinical research on the
subject and offers a timely update of the numerous advances in the
field. Well-orchestrated flow of information...good
organization...contains a wealth of new information on cerebral
vasospasm, and at the same time it provides valuable insights into the
direction in which the field is heading. It is therefore a valuable
reference for both basic and clinical neuroscientists who are interested
in the pathophysiology of cerebral vasospasm. This book is of practical
importance to the physicians in the fields of neurology, neurosurgery,
neuroradiology, neurointensive care, and other allied ares that provide
care for patients with cerebral vasospasm." --Journal of
Neurosurgery_x000D_ _x000D_ "An extremely valuable, up-to-date book
for scientists, researchers and neurosurgeons on the pathogenesis and
management of this disease. This book is particularly recommended to
physicians who wish to acquire the latest scientific knowledge about
this topic."--Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy_x000D_ _x000D_
"Well written...an accessible overview of the state-of-the-art in
vasospasm research at a competitive price. A recommended addition to
neuroscience libraries."--Acta Neurochirurgica Head, Division of
Neurosurgery, St. Michael's Hospital; Professor of Surgery, University
of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
