DESCRIPTION:
It was written by two well-known Canadian neurosurgeons, who for years have been involved in clinical and experimental research on cerebral vasospasm. This book is an extremely valuable synthesis of information on cerebral vasospasm and cerebral arterial pathophysiology. At times the arterial narrowing can result in dramatic, multifocal cerebral ischemia, a chief cause of unfavorable clinical outcomes after subarachnoid hemorrhage. The vasospasm can affect all the cerebral arteries but principally affects the large arteries located around the ruptured aneurysm. From The New England Journal of Medicine Cerebral vasospasm is a delayed, severe clinical event after an aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. The authors' efforts to include both clinical and experimental aspects suggest the us
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.. 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 Vantage Points to Cerebral Vasospasm Dr. MacDonald has edited a brilliant reference on the etiology and pathophysiology of cerebral vasospasm. He discusses the roles of ionic and molecular mediators of the disease, such as magnesium, calcium, voltage gated potassium channels, and MAP Kinase. He looks at mediators such as phosphatases and protein kinases in detail. This is a fundamental great source for the neuroscientist working in the laboratory on vasospasm. The authors are well respected neurosurgeons and scientists with a specialty training in cerebrovascular diseases. Unlike the Cerebral Vasospasm text by Weir & MacDo
