    • French
    L’interprétation radiologique de la base du crâne est délicate car la structure anatomique de la région est singulièrement complexe.Ce nouveau volume de la collection des Syllabus de la Société française de radiologie propose un état de l’art de l’imagerie de l’orbite, du labyrinthe membraneux et de la base du crâne. Les connaissances à maîtriser pour réaliser les IRM et tomodensitométries de ces différentes régions sont détaillées. Pour chaque zone topographique sont abordées la radioanatomie et les pathologies de type infectieux, tumoral, malformatif et lésionnel. Sont également présentés la place des techniques avancées dans le diagnostic et la prise en charge des pathologies ophtalmiques, ainsi que les progrès en cours ou attendus grâce à l’intelligence artificielle dans l’étude des troubles cochléovestibulaires... plus de 500 clichés, cet ouvrage constitue la référence pédagogique actuelle sur le sujet. Il est indispensable pour les internes et radiologues qui interprètent cette région anatomique, ainsi que pour les neurologues, neurochirurgiens, ORL et ophtalmologues désireux de mieux demander et mieux comprendre les examens d’imagerie.

  • Phenotyping of Human iPSC-derived Neurons

    Patient-Driven Research
    • 1st Edition
    • Elizabeth D. Buttermore
    • English
    Phenotyping of Human iPSC-derived Neurons: Patient-Driven Research examines the steps in a preclinical pipeline that utilizes iPSC-derived neuronal technology to better understand neurological disorders and identify novel therapeutics, also providing considerations and best practices. By presenting example projects that identify phenotypes and mechanisms relevant to autism spectrum disorder and epilepsy, this book allows readers to understand what considerations are important to assess at the start of project design. Sections address reproducibility issues and advances in technology at each stage of the pipeline and provide suggestions for improvement. From patient sample collection and proper controls to neuronal differentiation, phenotyping, screening, and considerations for moving to the clinic, these detailed descriptions of each stage of the pipeline will help everyone, regardless of stage in the pipeline. In recent years, drug discovery in the neurosciences has struggled to identify novel therapeutics for patients with varying indications, including epilepsy, chronic pain, and psychosis. Current treatment options for such patients are decades old and offer little relief with many side effects. One explanation for this lull in novel therapeutics is a lack of novel target identification for neurological disorders (and target identification requires exemplar preclinical data). To improve on the preclinical work that often relies on rodent modeling, the field has begun utilizing patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to differentiate neurons in vitro for preclinical characterization of neurological disease and target identification.

  • Neuroinflammation in Vascular Dementia

    • 1st Edition
    • Gary Rosenberg
    • English
    Neuroinflammation in Vascular Dementia describes the molecular mechanisms that drive this transition to mixed pathology, along with the newer lifestyle and pharmacological approaches that can reduce the incidence of dementia. The book describes the practical aspects of neuroimaging methods, along with novel neuroimaging methods, using MRI, that are becoming important clinically. The author also discusses how the diagnosis of dementias will be greatly aided by biomarkers from neuroimaging, blood and CSF biochemistry and neuropsychological testing in the future. This information will be used in precision medicine to design treatment strategies based on the most likely causes of the disease. Dementia research has undergone dramatic growth driven by current and projected increases in the aging of the population, and thus leading to a larger number of patients with dementia by 2050. Hence, advances in neuroimaging, brain chemistry, and genetics have accelerated our understanding of diseases that lead to cognitive decline.
