Download or read book Improving aneurysmal Subarachnoid hemorrhage management what s new written by Massimo Del Sette and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-08-12 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) still represents a significant cause of morbidity and mortality around the world and its outcome can be dramatically impacted by early and expert care. SAH treatment comprises early neurosurgical or endovascular treatment of the ruptured aneurysm, strategies to reduce further neurological injury, and managing systemic complications. In fact, management of aSAH is a multidisciplinary issue and the current state of knowledge is in rapid evolution. Nevertheless, the guidelines are not up to date. The last American aSAH guidelines were issued in 2012 and covered literature up until May 2010, and in 2013 members of the Guidelines Committee of the European Stroke Organization reviewed them from a European standpoint. Since then, considerable advances have been made in diagnostic methods, surgical and endovascular techniques, and clinical management paradigms. Subarachnoid hemorrhage is still a relevant health problem and, although its incidence varies among populations, a quarter of patients affected by aSAH die and approximately half of survivors are left with some persistent neurological deficit. Taking into account the fact that the prognosis of aSAH patients is affected by multiple factors and that some of them can be influenced by therapeutic strategies and management procedures, we believe that there is a need to reassess which interventions provide the greatest benefit to patients.

Download or read book Handbook of Neuroemergency Clinical Trials written by Brett E. Skolnick and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2017-11-13 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Handbook of Neuroemergency Clinical Trials, Second Edition, focuses on the practice of clinical trials in acute neuroscience populations, or what have been called neuroemergencies. Neuroemergencies are complex, life-threatening diseases and disorders, often with devastating consequences, including death or disability. The overall costs are staggering in terms of annual incidence and costs associated with treatment and survival, yet despite their significance as public health issues, there are few drugs and devices available for definitive treatment. The book focuses on novel therapies and the unique challenges their intended targets pose for the design and analysis of clinical trials. This volume provides neurologists, neuroscientists, and drug developers with a more complete understanding of the scientific and medical issues of relevance in designing and initiating clinical development plans for novel drugs intended for acute neuroscience populations. The editors provide the best understanding of the pitfalls associated with acute CNS drug development and the best information on how to approach and solve issues that have plagued drug development. - Presents a comprehensive overview on clinical trials and drug development challenges in acute neuroscience populations - Provides neurologists, neuroscientists and drug developers with a complete understanding of scientific and medical issues related to designing clinical trials - Edited by leaders in the field who have designed and managed over 50 neuroemergency clinical trials

Download or read book Calcium Ion Modulators written by I Kazuhide and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2024-11-15 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title primarily focuses on the functional mechanisms and roles of Ca2+ channels in the central nervous system, and the effects of Ca antagonists on cytosolic CA2+ by blocking voltage sensitive channels. These findings are an important contribution to understanding the mechanisms of brain dysfunctions, including Alzheimer's disease, cerebral ischemia and affective disorders, as well as the effects of cytosolic CA2+ modulators on neuronal cell death. In addition the results of clinical trials are reported using typical and atypical Ca antagonists in the treatment of neuropsychiatric diseases. An essential reference to some of the most current and vital research into Ca antagonists as therapeutic agents, this monograph is invaluable for all clinical and pre-clinical researchers active in the multidisciplinary fields of neuroscience, including: psychopharmacology, molecular biology, behavioral pharmacology, neuropharmacology, and electrophysiology and immunology. Investigators of Ca2+ dynamics and brain dysfunction especially will find this book useful in the development of novel drugs to treat neuropsychiatric diseases.

Download or read book Prevention and Treatment of Delayed Ischaemic Dysfunction in Patients with Subarachnoid Haemorrhage written by Hans-Jürgen Reulen and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the last meeting of the European Association of Neurosurgical Societies (Barcelona 7-16 September 1987), a Symposium was devoted to the use of calcium antagonists in cerebral vasospasm. As shown by its title "Prevention and treatment of delayed ischaemic dysfunction in patients with subarachnoid haemorrhage: an update", papers presented at the Symposium covered a broad spectrum from some basic data on pathophysiology of subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) and delayed ischaemic dysfunction, to the clinical use of nimodipine, which has been largely documented among calcium inhibitors for its cerebrovascular properties. This supplementum of Acta Neurochirurgica is based upon the papers presented. Some articles, however, have been extended to take into account further results in order to present a broad view of the subject. The Symposium started with two presentations concerning general aspects of SAH: in the first one, B. Voldby reviewed the pathophysiological events following SAH: if modifications of intracranial pressure (ICP) and decrease of cerebral blood flow (CBF) are the primary alterations, metabolic changes (particularly reduction in CMR0 ) 2 contribute rapidly to disturbances of brain circulation. A variety of mechanisms may be responsible for the neurological dysfunction: most of them are directly related to the reduction in cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) which may result in ischaemia. This fall in CPP (either due to elevation of ICP or reduction of mean arterial blood pressure) is observed under different pathophysiological conditions, discussed in the paper by A. D. Mendelow.

Download or read book Beating Chronic Fatigue written by Kristina Downing-Orr and published by Piatkus. This book was released on 2010-08-05 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is a common condition that can last for many years. It is a debilitating chronic illness which ruins lives. Every waking moment becomes a physical, emotional and cognitive struggle just to function on the most basic of levels. The purpose of this book is to reassure sufferers and their families that recovery is possible and that the illness is genuine. It draws on the experiences of many sufferers of chronic fatigue and on those of the author herself. Dr Kristina Downing-Orr, a clinical psychologist, suffered severe chronic fatigue symptoms and was compelled to research the cause of CFS and the cure herself because she was offered so little help by the medical profession. Her recovery was quick and lasting. In her book, Kristina reveals the causes of chronic fatigue and offers an accessible, scientifically valid, easy-to-achieve programme that will inspire people with CFS to regain their health and restore their energy and vitality. Chapters cover Kristina's own story, what chronic fatigue really is, what causes it, diagnosis, a step-by-step self-treatment programme, how to strengthen the body, and coping with stress and resources.
