Download or read book Progress in Nanomedicine in Neurologic Diseases written by Hari Shanker Sharma and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-08-23 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers the use of nanomedicine in the delivery of neuroprotective agents, including pharmacological drugs, stem cells, neurotrophic factors, monoclonal antibodies and enzymes to induce greater beneficial effects in neurologic diseases. Thus, the main purpose of the book is to explore the delivery of drugs either alone or in combination with stem cells to enhance neuroprotection in neurological diseases. Brain pathology associated with acute trauma such as head injury and brain blast injury can also be managed using novel treatment strategies. In addition, emphasis is made that standard patterns of brain pathology may be complicated with multiple comorbidity factors where one agent alone is not sufficient to induce brain protection. Enzymes and antibodies may help in combination and enhance the efficacy when administered through nanotechnology. Progress in Nanomedicine in Neurologic Diseases will encourage further research in the field of neuroprotection, brain injury, neurodegenerative diseases, neuropharmacology, neuropathology, and neurology. Students and researchers along with policy makers, teachers and health care professionals may also benefit from the findings of the book for enhanced patients care.

Download or read book The Benefits of Natural Products for Neurodegenerative Diseases written by M. Mohamed Essa and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-09-20 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focuses on the effects of natural products and their active components on brain function and neurodegenerative disease prevention. Phytochemicals such as alkaloids, terpenes, flavanoids, isoflavones, saponins etc are known to possess protective activity against many neurological diseases. The molecular mechanisms behind the curative effects rely mainly on the action of phytonutrients on distinct signaling pathways associated with protein folding and neuro-inflammation. The diverse array of bioactive nutrients present in these natural products plays a pivotal role in prevention and cure of various neurodegenerative diseases, disorders, or insults, such as Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's Disease, Huntington's Disease, traumatic brain injury, and other neuronal dysfunctions. However, the use of these antioxidants in the management of neurodegenerative conditions has so far been not well understood. This is a comprehensive collection addressing the effects on the brain of natural products and edible items such as reservatrol, curcumin, gingerol, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and marine products.

Download or read book Neurological Disorders written by World Health Organization and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2006 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although there are several gaps in understanding the many issues related to neurological disorders, we know enough to be able to shape effective policy responses to some of the most common. This book describes and discusses the increasing public health impact of common neurological disorders such as dementia, epilepsy, headache disorders, multiple sclerosis, neuroinfections, neurological disorders associated with malnutrition, pain associated with neurological disorders, Parkinson's disease, stroke and traumatic brain injuries. It provides information and advice on public health interventions that may reduce their occurrence and consequences, and offers health professionals and planners the opportunity to assess the burden caused by these disorders. The clear message that emerges is that unless immediate action is taken globally, the neurological burden is likely to become an increasingly serious and unmanageable.
Download or read book Drug Delivery to the Brain written by Margareta Hammarlund-Udenaes and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-12-03 with total page 737 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development of new CNS drugs is notoriously difficult. Drugs must reach CNS target sites for action and these sites are protected by a number of barriers, the most important being the blood –brain barrier (BBB). Many factors are therefore critical to consider for CNS drug delivery, e.g. active/passive transport across the BBB, intra-brain distribution, and central/systemic pharmacokinetics, to name a few. Neurological disease and trauma conditions add further complexity because CNS barriers, drug distribution and pharmacokinetics are dynamic and often changed by disease/trauma. Knowledge of all these factors and their interplay in different conditions is of utmost importance for proper CNS drug development and disease treatment. In recent years much information has become available for a better understanding of the many factors important for CNS drug delivery and how they interact to affect drug action. This book describes small and large drug delivery to the brain with an emphasis on the physiology of the BBB and the principles and concepts for drug delivery across the BBB and distribution within the brain. It contains methods descriptions for studying drug delivery, routes and approaches of administering drugs into the brain, the influence of disease, and drug industry perspectives. Therewith, it contributes to an in-depth understanding of the interplay between brain (patho)-physiology and drug characteristics. Furthermore, the content is designed to be both cutting-edge and educational, so that the book can be used in high-level training of academic and industry scientists with full references to original publications.
