  • TDP-43 and Neurodegeneration

    From Bench to Bedside
    • 1st Edition

    • English
    Aggregates of the TAR DNA binding protein 43 (TDP-43), are hallmark features of the neurodegenerative diseases Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD), with overlapping clinical, genetic and pathological features. TDP-43 and Neurodegeneration: From Bench to Bedside summarizes new findings in TDP-43 pathobiology and proteinopathies. The book summarizes TDP-43’s structure, function, biology, misfolding, aggregation, pathogenesis and therapeutics. It includes autophagy-mediated therapy, role of stress granule, novel genetic, cell culture-based models, systems biology for precision medicine, development of stem cells and mechanism-based therapies that can target ALS and other related neurodegenerative diseases. This book is written for neuroscientists, neurologists, clinicians, advanced graduate students, drug discovery researchers, as well as cellular and molecular biologists involved in ALS, motor neuron disease (MND) and other neurodegenerative disorders.

  • Spinal Cord Injury Pain

    • 1st Edition
    • Christine N. Sang + 1 more
    • English
    Spinal Cord Injury Pain presents the basis for preclinical and clinical investigations, along with strategies for new approaches in the treatment of central neuropathic pain. Contributors from the private sector and academia provide a comprehensive review of state-of-the-art research in this challenging space. Topics include Epidemiology of Chronic Pain Following SCI, experimental models and mechanisms of chronic pain in SCI, and new targets and technologies. This book serves as a resource for continued translational research that will result in novel approaches and treatments that improve function and quality of life for individuals with CNP/SCI. Despite a better understanding of the complexity of mechanisms of CNP/SCI, improved medical and surgical management of SCI, and the subsequent acceleration of the identification of new targets and the development of novel analgesics, there is still a great unmet clinical need in the area of CNP following SCI. Hence, this book is a welcomed addition to current research and developments.

  • Comorbilidad en trastornos psicóticos

    Hacia una mejora del diagnóstico y el abordaje
    • 1st Edition
    • André Barciela Veras + 1 more
    • Spanish
    Obra que detalla con gran pericia los datos que respaldan un innovador enfoque para subclasificar la esquizofrenia y otros trastornos psicóticos en base a las comorbilidades de ansiedad y depresión. Proporciona casos prácticos simulados, criterios diagnósticos del DSM-5, modelos de entrevista específicos para cada una de las cinco comorbilidades en pacientes con psicosis y opciones terapéuticas mejoradas. También se analizan las psicosis relacionadas con el consumo de sustancias, las enfermedades médicas y el tratamiento médico, así como otros factores que contribuyen a los trastornos psicóticos. Esta pionera obra de referencia, única en su área, es un recurso clínico, docente, de investigación y de formación, útil para psiquiatras, psicólogos, profesionales de enfermería, trabajadores sociales, neurólogos y cualquiera que esté interesado en la asistencia y el tratamiento de pacientes con trastornos psicóticos. La obra incluye ejemplos de entrevistas con los pacientes y/o purebas de laboratorio para cada diagnóstico. Detalla los síntomas, cuasipsicóticos y los signos secundarios de las comorbilidades, tanto cuando aparecen de forma aislada como asociados a psicosis. Subraya el significado específico de cada diagnóstico y los papeles contribuyentes de los neurotransmisores, la hipofrontalidad, los traumas psicológicos y la genética.
