Cerebral Vasospasm New Strategies in Research and Treatment [Paperback]

This comprehensive volume is the current final word on the subject. It contains more than 90 papers, giving a summary of clinical and basic studies on cerebral vasospasm. It includes reviews by leading researchers in the field. Several new subjects are proposed for future research that will not only promote research from neurosurgery and neurology but also from other interconnecting fields of emergency medicine, electrophysiology, molecular biology, and vascular biology.

More than 90 papers give a summary of clinical and basic studies on cerebral vasospasm, including reviews by leading researchers in this field. Several new frontiers are proposed for future research directions that will not only promote research from neurosurgery and neurology but also from other interconnecting fields of emergency medicine, electrophysiology, molecular biology, and vascular biology.Advances in vasospasm research.- Advances in vasospasm research.- Vasospasm pathogenies.- Pre-vasospasm: early brain injury.- Apoptotic markers in vasospasm after an experimental subarachnoid haemorrhage.- Cerebrospinal fluid soluble Fas and Fas ligand levels after aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage.- Time course of oxyhemoglobin induces apoptosis in mice brain cells in vivo.- Inhibition of c-Jun N-terminal kinase pathway attenuates cerebral vasospasm after experimental subarachnoid hemorrhage through the suppression of apoptosis.- Oxidative stress in subarachnoid haemorrhage: significance in acute brain injury and vasospasm.- Bilirubin oxidation products (BOXes): synthesis, stability and chemical characteristics.- Vascular contractility changes due to vasospasm induced by periarterial whole blood and thrombocyte rich plasma.- Vasospasm biochemistry.- Vasospasm biochemistry.- The roles of cross-talk mechanisms in the signal transduction systems in the pathophysiology of the cerebral vasospasm after subarachnoid haemorrhage  what we know and what we do not know.- Subarachnoid hemorrhaglc$
