Pioneers and leading researchers explain the theory and techniques of using targeted toxins experimentally. The highly successful use of the 192 IgG-saporin and ME20.4-saporin immunotoxins to lesion the cholinergic basal forebrain in order to model the behavior, anatomy, physiology, and pharmacology of Alzheimer's disease in animals is treated in detail to give a potential user the knowledge to comfortably use the techniques involved. The uses of important new lesioning agents such as anti-DBH-saporin immunotoxin to make remarkably selective lesions of catecholaminergic neurons, hypocretin-saporin that can produce narcoleptic animals, and other saporin conjugates, such as neuropeptide-saporin conjugates for pain research and cholera toxin B chain-saporin to produce a model of CNS demyelination are explained by experts in the field.
Essential Neurosurgery provides a comprehensive introduction to neurosurgery for junior surgical trainees and medical students. The book concentrates on the principles of neurosurgical diagnosis and management of the more common central nervous system problems, including an understanding of neurology and the pathological basis of neurological disease. There is also coverage of neurosurgical techniques and postoperative patient management. This new edition brings the text fully up to date and includes many of the biological and technological advances made in the field of neurosurgery that have improved surgical possibilities and patient outcomes. Review quotations from the previous edition 'flowing and well highlighted text keeps the reader interested in the subject' British Journal of Neurosurgery 'an excellent text...well organised and clearly set out' Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry
An ideal study tool for residents and students, Neurosurgery Practice Questions and Answers is designed to provide a thorough review of timely and important topics in the ever-changing field of neurosurgery. Residents preparing for the neurosurgery board exam will benefit from the book's multiple-choice format, which can be used either to simulate the real exam or as an exhaustive review of key concepts. With particular emphasis on the molecular basis of neurosurgery, this concise text covers the field with more than 100 illustrations, full-length explanations, and recommendations for further reading.
Featuring more than 1,000 challenging, clinically relevant questions, this book provides the preparation needed to succeed in the Neurosurgery Written Board Examination. To help achieve the best results, NEUROSURGERY BOARD REVIEW follows the exam's multiple-choice format and includes referenced answers to all questions. The book covers all seven sections of the exam (neurosurgery, clinical radiology, neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, neuropathology, neuroradiology, and clinical skills/critical care), providing a comprehensive review not available from any other source. The first-choice board preparation guide for neurosurgery residents, this unique book will also serve residents and students in neurology and other neuroscience specialties.
Monitoring of Cerebral and Spinal Haemodynamics During Neurosurgery is a comprehensive description of subdural monitoring of intracranial pressure (ICP) during neurosurgery. It offers thorough analysis of a comprehensive database consisting of measurements of ICP, cerebral perfusion pressure and other relevant physiological data from more than 1,800 patients subjected to intracranial surgery at Aarhus University Hospital. Features of anaesthesia, both inhalation and total intravenous, are discussed, and measures to reduce ICP are described. A majority of the patients had supratentorial tumours, but the database also includes patients with infratentorial tumours and patients with no intracranial space-occupying lesions. A chapter is reserved for discussion of the special features of children with cerebral tumours.
