Book excerpt: By design, Astra Woods leads a simple life. She lives in San Francisco where she spends her days working as a photographer at a studio. At nights, she trains and teaches at a karate school, before heading home to eat and feed her fish Sam. She has good friends and a comfortable innocuous life. She worked hard to achieve the security, to feel safe. She had kept to herself after losing her parents when she was in college. She’d had no one when she was attacked right after she graduated, and it had been hard work to come back from that period in her life. But her safety and friendships change one night while walking alone through the city. Astra hears a woman’s scream echo through a dark alley. Flashbacks of the previous attack on her own life drive her to enter the darkness and help the stranger. But when one of the perpetrators throws Astra against the alley wall, the following brain trauma instantly alters her mind and her life. Astra wakes up in the hospital and knows something is different, that she has changed, and is somehow not quite the same person. When she closes her eyes, unusual and extraordinary dreams invade her rest. The dreams seem very real. After each adventurous dream, Astra notices physical differences and begins to wonder if there is something more to these imagined explorations. Along with the physical changes, there are personality changes. Astra is no longer the calm forgiving friend. Certain aspects of the odd and abrupt aggressiveness scare Astra. But within the personality deviations, Astra finds a new fierceness and strength that she embraces and relishes. When her friends, her only family, make it clear that they want the old Astra back, the new Astra turns to Dr. Elara Fox, the strange woman she saved. Needing answers, Astra accepts Dr. Fox’s offer to study her mind and dreams at a specialized brain trauma facility. At the facility, Astra realizes that she is not alone. There are others who have similar dreams. Dreams that feel like traveling. She meets Leo Belmonte and together they are determined to understand the extent of these dream travels and the possibility of a strange and incredible ability fashioned by terrible accident and mishap. She begins to understand the complex damage to her brain triggered something never seen before. Her curiosity and fortitude to learn the truth, creates a rift with Leo, the facility, and with an outside force determined to end Astra’s unique ability. She is forced to make decisions that could change the lives of those she loves and all of humanity. Astra must quickly determine who she can trust, or take a leap of faith, to avoid being lost in another world forever.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neuro-Urology Research: A Comprehensive Overview describes the current status of the neuro-urology field including the latest discoveries, explains in detail some of the neuroscience tools that can be used when studying the neural control of the lower urinary tract, and discusses potential future directions for research. The first section, Neuroscience in Urology Research, reviews neuro-regulators and the important anatomical brain sites. It also provides an overview of voluntary versus reflex micturition control and describes how bladder physiology readout is a useful tool in research. The second section, Fundamental and Translational Neuro-Urology Research, discusses the translational potential of basic research for patients and the impact of neuro-urology research on clinical practice. Chapters in this section provide more insight into pathologies endemic to specific patient populations and areas for treatment development opportunities. The third section, Neurobiological Tools Applied to Neuro-Urology Research, supplements the ‘A Quick Guide to the "Neuroscience Toolbox"’ and introduces research techniques such as RNA sequencing and calcium imaging of neural activity. The fourth and final section, aptly titled Research Directions and Research Opportunities, covers research directions that remain underexplored or have high therapeutic potential. Research in neuro-urology presents a route to understanding how bladder function is controlled and how urinary continence is maintained. This book provides a platform for researchers to initiate collaborations on the many underexplored research topics and to consolidate knowledge, ultimately lending itself to a coordinated and multi-center research approach that will benefit the field. Presents a comprehensive overview of research studies in the field of neuro-urology Discusses approaches to conducting neuro-urology research, including models of lower urinary tract dysfunction and methods of tracking bladder physiology Proposes areas of research opportunity that, if explored, could yield effective treatment options for those affected by lower urinary tract disorders Includes an introductory guide to useful research tools and the "Neuroscience Toolbox", as well as chapters specifically about RNA sequencing techniques and imaging bladder-associated neural circuits

Download or read book Recent Advances in Psychiatry from Psycho Neuro Immunology Research Autoimmunencephalitis Autoimmune Encephalopathy Mild Encephalitis written by Karl Bechter and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2019-08-12 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growing evidence derived from cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), neuropathological, imaging, genetic, and epidemiological studies link neuroinflammation and immune dysregulation to a subset of individuals with a variety of severe mental disorders (SMDs), including affective and non-affective psychotic disorders. Further, the recent discoveries of neuronal surface antibodies (NSAs) in autoimmune encephalitis (AE) presenting with diverse neuropsychiatric disorders such as psychosis and cognitive decline, among many others, provides further support to the notion that CNS autoimmunity and neuroinflammation can contribute to the neurobiology of psychiatric disturbances. Further, these immune mechanisms may contribute to a subset of patients currently diagnosed as having treatment-resistant SMDs such as schizophrenia and major depressive disorder. Additionally, mounting data indicate that various infections can serve as an immunological trigger of aberrant immune responses, presumably by causing release of excess neural antigen, thereby giving rise to NSAs or aberrant immune cellular responses to give rise to primary or secondary psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia and those associated with AE, respectively. Collectively, these findings support the “mild encephalitis” hypothesis of SMD. The significant overlap among AE-associated psychosis, systemic autoimmune disorder-associated psychosis, and psychotic disorders associated with pathological processes involving inflammation and immune dysregulation has also prompted some authors to adopt the term “autoimmune psychosis” (AP). This term reflects that this psychosis subtype is mechanistically linked to complex neuroimmune and inflammatory signalling abnormalities that can be responsive to early immunomodulatory treatment. It also suggests that a subset of AP might represent an incomplete or “forme fruste” subtype of AE presenting with dominant or pure psychiatric symptoms mimicking primary psychiatric illnesses. Because data indicate that delayed diagnosis and treatment may lead to permanent sequelae, early recognition of AP utilizing neurodiagnostic workup (e.g., CSF analysis, neuroimaging, and EEG) and its early treatment with appropriate immunotherapy are paramount to a meaningful recovery. This eBook will provide an overview of the current knowledge and research areas from epidemiology, risk factors and diagnosis to the management of these conditions, in this rapidly emerging field, helping to bridge the gaps in knowledge that currently exist in the disciplines of Psychiatry, Neurology, and Neuroimmunology.
