Stroke has evolved from a largely untreatable condition in the acute phase to a true medical emergency that is potentially treatable—and sometimes curable. The Code Stroke emergency response refers to a coordinated team-based approach to stroke patient care that requires rapid and accurate assessment, diagnosis, and treatment in an effort to save the brain and minimize permanent damage.The Code Stroke Handbook contains the "essentials" of acute stroke to help clinicians provide best practice patient care. Designed to assist frontline physicians, nurses, paramedics, and medical learners at different levels of training, this book highlights clinical pearls and pitfalls, guideline recommendations, and other high-yield information not readily available in standard textbooks. It is filled with practical tips to prepare you for the next stroke emergency and reduce the anxiety you may feel when the Code Stroke pager rings.

Sa prévalence augmentant avec l’âge, surtout au-delà de 60 ans, on peut prévoir qu’avec le vieillissement de la population, le nombre de patients ne cessera d’augmenter dans les années à venir.La quatrième édition de cet ouvrage, entièrement en couleurs, consacrée à la maladie de Parkinson, rend compte de façon didactique des avancées de ces cinq dernières années, en abordant de façon exhaustive tous les aspects de cette pathologie : l’épidémiologie, l’étiopathogénie, les aspects génétiques, la physiopathologie, les signes moteurs et non moteurs, notamment les troubles cognitifs, psychiques et comportementaux. Un nouveau chapitre dédié aux apports des nouvelles technologies, notamment les enregistrements électrophysiologique... intracérébraux, l’évaluation neurophysiologique de la marche et du contrôle postural ou encore l’actimétrie, vient compléter cette monographie. Le chapitre consacré à la neuropathologie et la physiopathologie, est également entièrement augmenté et mis à jour avec l’approche de l’alpha-synucléine et l’évocation de la controverse autour de l’hypothèse d’un mécanisme de type prion. Les traitements de recours sont regroupés maintenant dans un chapitre spécifique et un nouveau chapitre est proposé sur les indications de la toxine botulique.Ce livre s’adresse aux praticiens et à tous les professionnels de santé, médicaux et paramédicaux, exerçant dans un service de neurologie ou concernés par la pathologie parkinsonienne : neurologues, internes préparant le diplôme d’études spécialisées de neurologie, neuropsychologues, psychiatres, rééducateurs, orthophonistes et kinésithérapeutes.

    • Andrew Thompson + 1 more
    • English
    Risk Factors for Psychosis: Paradigms, Mechanisms, and Prevention combines the related, but disparate research endeavors into a single text that considers all risk factors for psychosis, including biological, psychological and environmental factors. The book also introduces the ethics and current treatment evidence that attempts to ameliorate risk or reduce the number of individuals with risk factors developing a psychotic disorder. Finally, the book highlights new research paradigms that will further enhance the field in the future.

    • Jacopo Annese
    • English
    The field of human brain mapping is exhibiting an increased focus on the study of neural functional architecture at the system level and on individual neurological characteristics. rather than pm population-based averages. This new direction has resulted in a need for a new brain atlas that incorporates correlated radiologic and histological images representing the whole brain. Initiatives such as the Human Connectome Project are based on non-invasive techniques that afford images of the brain only at the macroscopic level, creating a growing need for an atlas that provides histological images of entire (coronal) sections that can then be easily compared to corresponding MRI and DTI images, making the correlation across modalities direct and intuitive. Neuroimaging Atlas of the Human Brain: MRI, DTI, and Histology is just such an atlas, representing the first market offering of histologic, radiologic, and labeled anatomical images of the same, entire human brain.

    Lymphatic Structure and Function in Health and Disease serves as a resource book on what has been learned about lymphatic structure, function and anatomy within different organ systems. This is the first book to bring together lymphatic medicine as a whole, with in-depth analysis of specific aspects of lymphatics in different vascular pathologies. This book is a useful tool for scientists, practicing clinicians and residents, in particular, those in vascular biology, neurology, cardiology and general medicine. Chapters discuss topics such as ontogeny and phylogeny of lymphatics, lymphatic pumping, CNS lymphatics, lymphatics in transplant and lymphatic reconstruction.

    • English
    Neuroprotection in Autism, Schizophrenia and Alzheimer's Disease provides an up-to-date overview on recent clinical studies and the similarities discovered in the most prevalent brain disorders. The book's content will help shed light on basic mechanisms and provide new avenues for early diagnosis toward disease prevention and disease modification. It is written for researchers, clinicians and medical physicians in neuroscience, neurology and psychiatry. Sections discuss the shared pathophysiological mechanisms that underlie autism, schizophrenia/mood disorders and Alzheimer’s disease, i.e. neurodevelopmental disorders, neuropsychiatric diseases and neurodegenerative disorders.

  • The Frontal Lobes

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 163
    • English
    The Frontal Lobes, Volume 163, updates readers on the latest thinking on the structure and function of the human frontal lobe. Sections address methodology, anatomy, physiology and pharmacology, function, development, aging and disorders, and rehabilitation. Patients with focal lesions in the frontal lobes have long been studied to reveal the organization and function of the frontal lobes. Over the last two decades, studies of patients with neurodegenerative diseases and developmental disorders have increased, with new findings discussed in this volume. In addition, the book includes discussions on genetics and molecular biology, optogenetics, high-resolution structural and functional neuroimaging and electrophysiology, and more. Lastly, new knowledge on the biology, structure and function of the frontal lobes, new treatment targets for pharmacology, non-invasive brain stimulation, and cognitive/social remediation are presented. The last section covers new efforts that will hopefully lead to better outcomes in patients with frontal lobe disorders.

  • Self-organizing Neural Maps: The Retinotectal Map and Mechanisms of Neural Development

    From Retina to Tectum
    • 1st Edition
    • John T. Schmidt
    • English
    Self-organizing Neural Maps: From Retina to Tectum describes the underlying processes that determine how retinal fibers self-organize into an orderly visual map. The formation of neural maps is a fundamental organizing concept in neurodevelopment that can shed light on developmental mechanisms and the functions of genes elsewhere. The book presents a summary of research in the retinotectal field with an ultimate goal of synthesizing how underlying mechanisms in neural development harmoniously come together to create life. A broad spectrum of neuroscientists and biomedical scientists with differing backgrounds and varied expertise will find this book useful.

    Functional and Clinical Neuroanatomy: A Guide for Health Care Professionals is a comprehensive, yet easy-to read, introduction to neuroanatomy that covers the structures and functions of the central, peripheral and autonomic nervous systems. The book also focuses on the clinical presentation of disease processes involving specific structures. It is the first review of clinical neuroanatomy that is written specifically for nurses, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, medical students and medical assistants who work in the field of neurology. It will also be an invaluable resource for graduate and postgraduate students in neuroscience. With 22 chapters, including two that provide complete neurological examinations and diagnostic evaluations, this book is an ideal resource for health care professionals across a wide variety of disciplines.
