Epilepsy and Memory 1st Edition

October 2, 2017

[amazon template=iframe image2&asin=0199580286]

Epilepsy is the most common potentially serious disorder of the brain, and these patients often suffer from memory problems. There are a number of reasons for this: seizures can directly affect the brain in ways that disturb memory; epilepsy often results from trouble in brain regions closely linked to memory; the treatment of epilepsy can affect memory; epilepsy can cause psychological problems, like depression, which interfere with memory. The study of epilepsy and the study of human memoryare interwoven.

Epilepsy and Memory comprehensively reviews all aspects of the relationship between this common and potentially serious neurological disorder and memory, one of the core functions of the human mind. The authors, acknowledged experts in their fields, review the history of the subject, the clinical features of memory disorder in epilepsy, neuropsychological, neuroradiological, neuropathological and electrophysiological findings, the roles of anticonvulsant side effects and psychiatric disorder, and the scope for memory support and rehabilitation. The study of patients with epilepsy has revealed much about the workings of memory, yet there has been no recent review of this fertile field of research. This book fills this gap and is a valuable new addition to the brain sciences literature. It will be of wide interest to clinicians and basic researchers in the brain sciences.

Angelo Mosso’s Circulation of Blood in the Human Brain 1 Tra Edition

October 2, 2017

[amazon template=iframe image2&asin=0199358982]

“How Antonio Mosso, an almost forgotten contributor to neuroimaging, was able to image brain activity without computers or MRI or any of the historical progression leading to modern methods beautifully traced in this volume, but instead with a simple recording device of his own design, will be extremely valuable to readers interested in how brain activity supports the mind. The editors are to be congratulated for bringing this important story to the English reading world.”–Michael I. Posner, PhD, Professor Emeritus, Psychology , University of Oregon, Eugene, OR

“This pioneering investigation is at last available in English thanks to the masterful edition of Mosso’s book by Gordon M. Shepherd and Marcus E. Raichle. This reading will be certainly inspiring for neuroscientists, psychologists and historians of science.” —Paolo Mazzarello, MD, PhD, Professor of History of Medicine, University of Pavia, Pavia, Italy
“Science is a conversation that spans centuries. In his Critical Historical Introduction, Mosso summarizes the contributions of his conceptual predecessors going back to Galen. In their Introduction, Raichle and Shepherd recount the conversation from Mosso to the present day. Jointly, a thoroughly scholarly, highly-entertaining account of the evolution of functional neuroimaging.” —Peter T. Fox, M.D., Director, Research Imaging Institute, Malcolm Jones Professor of Radiology, Professor of Radiology, Neurology, Psychiatry, and Physiology, University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, CA
“This unique work stands alone in terms of value and placing Mosso in historical perspective as the inventor of the plethysmograph and as a researcher who measured the relationship between emotion and brain activity.” —Doody’s Health Sciences Book Review
Featured in the Milan Daily “Il Sole 24 ore”.
“This fascinating manuscript illuminates the thought process of a brilliant scientist and forerunner of modern neuroscience. In rescuing Mosso from oblivion, Fabbri, Raichle and Shepherd have given historians, students and neuroscientists a valuable new resource to fill gaps in the narrative that modern neuroscience was built upon. Moreover, the works of Mosso give us a new perspective on age old questions of the mind and perhaps pause to appreciate the new age of wonder we live in and to attack these questions with renewed vigor and greater humility.” —Studies in History and Philosophy of Biological and Biomedical Sciences

Manual of Spine Surgery

September 22, 2017

[amazon template=iframe image2&asin=3642226817]

This manual of spine surgery has become necessary as a consequence of the rapid expansion of instrumented spine surgery using different minimally invasive and non-fusion techniques. To do justice to this development, the manual aims to present the different techniques to spinal surgeons (orthopaedic and neurosurgeons) in a clear and instructive way using detailed illustrations. The description of different open, less invasive or minimally invasive techniques will provide the spinal surgeon with useful guidelines for their use. The success of any spinal operation depends on good definition of the indications, consideration of the contraindications, technical and organisational factors, good operating technique and correct preoperative preparation and positioning of the patient. These points are presented in this book as clearly as possible and are illustrated with detailed high quality artwork.

About the Author

UWE VIEWEG is Head of the Department of Spine Surgery, Leopoldina Hospital, Schweinfurt, Germany. He is specialized in minimally invasive spine surgery, non-fusion technology, corrections of degenerative scoliosis and high-grade spondylolisthesis as well as quality control of different spine procedures.

Frontiers in Neurosurgery Volume 3: Brain Ischemic Stroke

September 22, 2017

Stroke is thought to be the second biggest killer worldwide, and is responsible for over 5 million deaths per year. Several strategies have been developed to enhance treatment of stroke patients. Multimodal neuroimaging allows physicians to diagnose and evaluate not only the ischemic core but also the vessel pattern and collateral status. Stroke Treatment involves extensive intravenous drug administration. Several new drugs with long lasting efficacy are now being tested in randomized clinical trials. In this context, endovascular treatment is a promising avenue that allows physicians to treat patients in extended time windows especially patients in whom intravenous RTPA has failed. A new era has emerged with new devices called stent retrievers and aspiration techniques, which have demonstrated higher rates of recanalization and clear superiority over previous devices employed in RCTs.

The third volume of Frontiers in Neurosurgery presents updated information on ischemic stroke treatment. The volume comprehensively covers the epidemiology, physiology, diagnosis and treatment modalities of stroke. Readers will also find key information on diagnosing and treating rare and lesser known causes of stroke as well as notes about new devices and medical procedures to combat ischemic stroke. This volume is a useful resource for neurosurgery specialists as well as nurses, physiotherapists and caregivers.
