Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Moyamoya disease (MMD) is a chronic cerebrovascular disease characterized by progressive stenosis of the arteries of the circle of Willis, and formation of a collateral vascular network at the base of the brain. Moyamoya syndrome is caused by numerous conditions, which lead to arterial occlusion of the circle of Willis and resultant collaterals reminiscent of moyamoya disease. Due to the diverse angioarchitecture and unknown influence factors, the hemodynamic disturbances of MMD/Moyamoya syndrome are complicated, and result in multimodal clinical manifestations including headache, cognitive impairment, seizures, TIA, infarction, and hemorrhage. Surgical revascularization has been proven as effective in decreasing incidence of long-term risk of stroke. However, occurrence of perioperative stroke and complications such as seizures and cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome are still unpredictable. In addition, many patients with cognitive impairment cannot benefit from surgical revascularization and the mechanism remains unclear. Thus, a series of studies focusing on the objective evaluation of MMD/Moyamoya syndrome are needed to help understand this complicated cerebrovascular disease and improve our treatment strategy. The goal of this Research Topic is to better understand the pathophysiological nature of MMD/Moyamoya syndrome through objective neuroimaging. We also aim to generate a reasonable and objective evaluation system for MMD/ Moyamoya syndrome and would like to understand the link between cognitive impairment and brain damage of MMD/Moyamoya syndrome though neuroimaging. Through these findings we also aim to improve the treatment strategy by understanding the pathophysiological link with relevant complications. Finally, we also aim to improve our understanding of the significance of perioperative management for patients with severe complications from the perspective of objective evaluation.
Download or read book Moyamoya Disease written by Vicente Vanaclocha and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2021-10-20 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Moyamoya disease is a rare cerebrovascular disease most prevalent in East Asian countries. Thanks to new diagnostic capabilities, the number of cases discovered, including asymptomatic patients, has been increasing steadily. However, asymptomatic from the clinical point of view does not necessarily mean that there are no subjacent problems. Indeed, many patients harbour cognitive decline long before they exhibit clinical or radiological manifestations. The only effective treatment is surgical revascularization, either direct, indirect, or combined. Many posit that preventive surgical treatment should be considered even in asymptomatic moyamoya patients, particularly in the paediatric age group. This book expands on these ideas and examines the various aspects of this dreadful disease.

Download or read book Moyamoya Disease Current Knowledge and Future Perspectives written by Satoshi Kuroda and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-02-26 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together the latest knowledge on moyamoya disease, covering diagnostic criteria, status as a disease entity, genetic aspects, pathophysiology, novel neuroradiological findings, and surgical therapy. Information is also provided on recent basic and clinical research with the aim of identifying future perspectives on the disease. Since moyamoya disease was first reported in an English language article more than 50 years ago, our understanding of it has advanced considerably. Genetic and radiological analysis has delivered novel insights, and the latest multicenter studies are changing routine diagnosis and surgical therapy. The gene encoding the ring finger protein 213 (RNF213) has been identified as a susceptibility gene for moyamoya disease. Indications and procedures for surgical revascularization have been revised, with resultant improvements in outcomes, and studies performed over the past decade have provided new knowledge on the neuroradiological findings before and after surgery. In describing these advances, this book will be an invaluable asset for all general physicians, pediatricians, neurologists, radiologists, and neurosurgeons who care for patients with moyamoya disease across the world.

A major change in the examination process occurred in 2017, and the details of this transition are nicely outlined in Chapter 1. In keeping with this significant change in the Oral Board Examination format - I felt that the Goodman course needed to change to keep up with the Examination - see Chapter 3. The 2nd edition of the book now also reflects these updates with an emphasis on how to prepare for the current exam format. "--

Download or read book CiteSpace written by Chaomei Chen and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CiteSpace is a freely available computer program written in Java for visualizing and analyzing literature of a scientific domain. A knowledge domain is broadly defined in order to capture the notion of a logically and cohesively organized body of knowledge. It may range from specific topics such as post-traumatic stress disorder to fields of study lacking clear-cut boundaries, such as research on terrorism or regenerative medicine. CiteSpace takes bibliographic information, especially citation information from the Web of Science, and generates interactive visualizations. Users can explore various patterns and trends uncovered from scientific publications, and develop a good understanding of scientific literature much more efficiently than they would from an unguided search through literature. The full text of many scientific publications can be accessed with a single click through the interactive visualization in CiteSpace. At the end of a session, CiteSpace can generate a summary report to summarize key information about the literature analyzed. This book is a practical guide not only on how to operate the tool but also on why the tool is designed and what implications of various patterns that require special attention. This book is written with a minimum amount of jargon. It uses everyday language to explain what people may learn from the writings of scholars of all kinds.

Download or read book A Puff of Smoke written by Sarah Lippett and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2019-12-31 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A moving, often very funny graphic memoir about what it is like to grow up with an illness that no one can diagnose. When the headaches started, Sarah Lippett would stand alone on a different side of the playground from the other children. When she started to drag one of her legs, her parents took her to hospital, and so began the visits to many different doctors, each one more bewildered by her illness than the last. Initially schooled at home, when Sarah went back to school she was placed with the struggling kids, and still so often ill, she felt even more alone. But although Sarah's parents often despaired of the stream of appointments and no cure, they never showed it and she grew up in the midst of a boisterous, loving family and found good friends at last, as well as venturing into bands, art, boys, books and records. Finally, when Sarah turned sixteen, she was admitted to Great Ormond Street Hospital where the doctors diagnosed her with the rare disease, Moyamoya. The book ends with Sarah waking up after brain surgery.
