Neuromodulation in Rehabilitation

  • 1st Edition
  • March 1, 2029
  • Gerald Leisman + 1 more
  • English
The Handbook of Rehabilitation Sciences series is a multi-volume, multi-disciplinary handbook of rehabilitation sciences which provides a single vehicle for the many fields that converge on rehabilitation. These fields each have an independent literature and language that does not converge on the practice of related disciplines. This results in a fractured rather than holistic understanding of what is necessary for a science of returning the impaired to optimized function. This project provides a unified platform for the cross– disciplinary presentation of ideas in rehabilitation sciences thereby creating a resource for practitioners and researchers in all disciples associated with rehabilitation applications. Neuromodulation in Rehabilitation covers the alteration of nerve activity through targeted delivery of a stimulus. This includes, but not limited to stimulation of the spinal cord, brain, vagal nerve, occipital nerve, peripheral nerve, and sacral nerve. This volume also discusses the psychological issues and evaluations for patients undergoing implantable technology. It also provides updated guidelines on safe delivery of implantations and electrical currents of neuromodulation including MRIs, FMRIs, ultrasounds, atlases and optogenetics. This volume is ideal for practitioners considering neuromodulation as an option for their patients which can ultimately help restore function or relieve symptoms that have a neurological basis.

Neuromodulation for Systems, Movement and Cognitive Disorders

  • English
The Handbook of Rehabilitation Sciences series is a multi-volume, multi-disciplinary handbook of rehabilitation sciences which provides a single vehicle for the many fields that converge on rehabilitation. These fields each have an independent literature and language that does not converge on the practice of related disciplines. This results in a fractured rather than holistic understanding of what is necessary for a science of returning the impaired to optimized function. This project provides a unified platform for the cross– disciplinary presentation of ideas in rehabilitation sciences thereby creating a resource for practitioners and researchers in all disciples associated with rehabilitation applications. Neuromodulation for Systems, Movement and Cognitive Disorders facilitates learning about rehabilitation, neurological rehabilitation and applied disciplines. It provides a brief literature review summarizing the evidence and efficacy of each neuromodulatory modality (ie: DBS vs Ultrasound vs Spinal Cord modulation). It teaches readers how to recognize what the current patient indications are for each modality, in terms of inclusion or exclusion criteria for each type of rehabilitation treatment. It is comprehensive and covers not only brain neuromodulation but also other rehabilitation domains such as spinal cord and gastrointestinal neuromodulation. This makes it particularly suited to the young practitioner looking to select the most appropriate novel treatment for their patient population.

Stroke in Low and Middle Income Countries

  • 1st Edition
  • March 1, 2029
  • Jerome Chin
  • English
The mortality rate from stroke is greater in low and middle income countries (LMIC) compared to high-income countries (HIC) as a result of multiple factors including resource-limited health systems and gaps in universal health coverage. Expensive therapeutics for acute stroke treatment are not available and/or not affordable in many LMIC. Investments to combat the stroke burden in LMIC must prioritize preventive strategies to reduce the incidence of stroke. In the past decade, a large body of epidemiological data has accumulated on risk factors for cardiovascular diseases including stroke in LMIC. In addition, a growing base of evidence supports a range of interventions for the primordial and primary prevention of stroke in LMIC.Stroke in Low and Middle Income Countries: Epidemiology and Prevention is a thorough resource focusing on stroke epidemiology and prevention with an emphasis on regional differences and solutions. This book explores the global and regional epidemiology of stroke and the leading targets for risk reduction at the individual level. Evidence-based recommendations for the primary prevention of stroke are discussed, such as risk factors like high blood pressure, diabetes, and obesity. Public health strategies to promote the primordial prevention of stroke are covered, including health communications and promotion of physical activity and wellness.

Independent Origins and Early Diversification of Neural Systems

  • 1st Edition
  • July 1, 2027
  • English
Independent Origins and Early Diversification of Neural Systems covers parallel evolution across all 33 phyla in a single reference volume. Using an interdisciplinary approach, this volume addresses the latest research from single-cell genomics to behaviors. The volume discusses the major evolutionary transitions driving the early specification of integrative systems and explains the hypotheses of independent origins of neurons, synapses, and complex brains. Throughout this volume several animal lineages critical for understanding neuronal evolution are highlighted such as comb jellies, sponges, placozoans, cnidarians, and basal metazoans. As a result, the book enables the reader to understand the inherent logic underlying the enormous diversity of neuronal populations and the mosaic or chimeric cellular architectures of virtually every neural system. By deciphering the genealogies of neurons, the book establishes the foundation for natural neuronal classification toward the Periodic System of Neurons with predictive power.
