editore: Informa Healthcare
pagine: 538
This reference provides a clear understanding of the basic mechanisms of synaptic transmission and information processing and illustrates potential clinical applications for the recovery of lost function as a result of gene defects, injury, or disease-relating the most recent advances in the design of new therapeutics, the treatment of neurological disease and age-related loss of cognitive function, rehabilitation therapy, and neural engineering and computation.
Neurosurgery of Complex Vascular Lesions and Tumors
Shigeaki Kobayashi
editore: Thieme Publishing Group
pagine: 354
This is the first organized book on complex, difficult and informative surgical cases submitted by specialists in neurosurgery from around the world. It will be a collection of difficult and complicated cases that were operated by eminent neurosurgeons. Each contributor will write one or two successful cases that he thinks were difficult and complex, and discuss the techniques and technologies used. This book is designed to carry the techniques, the knowledge and the experience of the surgically difficult and complex cases in the surgery of cerebrovascular diseases and brain tumors. The book includes two parts: cerebrovascular diseases and brain tumors. Each chapter is composed of 50 case reports written by world reknown neurosurgeons. A case report includes problem and tactics (of this case), case report (including history, operation, and postoperative course), and discussion and references (less than 10), all of which is followed by the comments from a neurosurgical specialist. The text is short and concise. Neuroimaging photographs and self-explanatory operative sketches are used to help readers better understand the content.

Christopher Power , Richard T. Johnson
editore: Informa Healthcare
pagine: 536

Clinical Diagnosis and Managment of Dystonia
Susan B. Bressman , Thomas T. Warner
editore: Informa Healthcare
pagine: 434
One hundred years have passed since the first clinical descriptions of dystonia cases appeared in the literature. In the ensuing century, the study of this protean movement disorder has undergone a turbulent evolution, with dramatic shifts in the views regarding its causation and phenomenology. Considered for a period of time as a psychological or psychiatric condition, the dystonias are now recognized, in the majority of cases, as an organic neurological disorder. The clinical signs and symptoms manifested in patients with various dystonic disorders are extremely varied, so while it is one of the most common movement disorders, it is perhaps the most misunderstood and least clinically recognized. With chapters contributed by experts from both sides of the Atlantic, Clinical Diagnosis and Management of Dystonia provides a comprehensive review of the pathogenesis of dystonia, an overview of the classification of the various dystonic disorders, and a summary of the latest developments in treatment, including emerging pharmacological therapies and the use of botulinum toxin.
Essential Neurosurgery
Andrew Kaye
editore: Blackwell Publishing Ltd
pagine: 312
"Essential Neurosurgery" provides a comprehensive introduction to neurosurgery for junior surgical trainees and medical students. The book concentrates on the principles of neurosurgical diagnosis and management of the more common central nervous system problems, including an understanding of neurology and the pathological basis of neurological disease. There is also coverage of neurosurgical techniques and postoperative patient management. This new edition brings the text fully up to date and includes many of the biological and technological advances made in the field of neurosurgery that have improved surgical possibilities and patient outcomes. Review quotations from the previous edition 'flowing and well highlighted text keeps the reader interested in the subject' - "British Journal of Neurosurgery". 'an excellent text...well organised and clearly set out' - "Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry".
Recovery after Stroke

editore: Cambridge
pagine: 668
One third of people after stroke, having survived the first few weeks, return home with significant residual disability, and can therefore benefit from an active, multidisciplinary rehabilitation programme. This is a comprehensive guide to rehabilitation after stroke, in which leading international authorities set out the basic neuroscientific principles that underlie brain recovery, including chapters on neural plasticity and neural imaging, and describe appropriate rehabilitation strategies for the many different functional problems that can arise after stroke. These include movement disorders, sensory loss, dysphagia and dysarthria, problems with continence and secual difficulties, and cognitive disorders. Also covered are measurement of disability and quality of life, assistive technology and vocational rehabilitation. It is therefore an essential handbook and reference for all members of the multidisciplinary stroke rehabilitation team, including medical personnel, therapists, clinical neuropsychologists and rehabilitation nurses.
Nerve Injury and Repair
Regeneration, Reconstruction and Cortical Remodeling
Goran Lundborg
editore: Churchill Livingstone
pagine: 256
The book focuses on nerve repair and reconstruction. It emphasizes biological mechanisms, clinical treatment and functional remodelling in brain cortex as a consequence of nerve injury. Numerous original schematic drawings illustrate complex mechanisms in a very easy way. It is geared primarily for surgeons in the fields of hand, plastic, orthopaedic and neurosurgery.

pagine: 550
This is a superbly illustrated core textbook for medical and health science students that provides an understanding of basic neuroanatomical structures by emphasising their clinical significance in neurologic disease. It provides the principles of neuroanatomy together with superb illustrations typically found in a stand-alone atlas. It includes unique clinical correlation chapters that describe the clinical relevance of key neuroanatomical structures. It features 4 new chapters such as: Reticular Formation, Wakefulness, and Sleep; Reticular Formation, Wakefulness, and Sleep: Clinical Correlates; Control of Posture and Movement; and Approach to a Patient with a Neurologic Disorder.
Magnetic Resonance in Epilepsy
Neuroimaging Techniques
Graeme Jackson , Ruben Kuzniecky
editore: Academic Press Inc
pagine: 464
Remarkable advances in imaging have increased the importance of MRI for diagnostic, treatment and management of epilepsy. Neuroimaging of patients with epilepsy no longer simply deals with the technology and interpretation of images but also with issues of brain metabolism, energetics, cognition and brain dysfunction. The first edition of "Magnetic Resonance in Epilepsy" came into clinical practice in 1995 with a revolutionary idea; that is, MR is as important as EEG in the clinical management of patients with epilepsy. The second edition of "Magnetic Resonance in Epilepsy", the only comprehensive text in the field of epilepsy neuroimaging, reviews fundamental concepts and new advances in MR technology, computerized analysis, MR spectroscopy, DWI and other neuroimaging techniques such as PET, SPECT and MEG application to the study of patients with epileptic disorders. It provides a crucial update of recent advances in imaging techniques. It is a timely publication as subject of neuroimaging is a very "hot" area in both clinical epilepsy and basic neuroscience research. Editors are well-respected in this field.

Gentlecare. Un modello positivo di assistenza per l'Alzheimer
Moyra Jones
editore: Carocci
pagine: 351
Un quinto della nostra popolazione ha ormai 65 anni o più. La maggior parte di esse è attivo, consapevole e dinamico. Tuttavia, un numero crescente di persone anziane non invecchiano secondo le consuete aspettative, soprattutto a causa dell'Alzheimer. Il "Gentlecare" è un sistema di cura della persona con demenza elaborato da una terapista canadese, Moyra Jones, che persegue l'obiettivo del benessere attraverso un approccio protesico. Il perseguimento di tale obiettivo rende necessaria la costruzione di un sistema di supporto alla vita della persona con demenza in grado di sostenere piuttosto che sfidare il malato, comprendendo la peculiarità della disabilità e al tempo stesso cogliendo competenze residue, preferenze e desideri del malato stesso.
