Current Concepts in Movement Disorder Management
This book summarizes the current state of movement disorder management and the role of surgical therapies as an alternative to medication. Following a chapter on the history of movement disorder surgery, leaders in their fields describe the pathophysiology, functional neuroanatomy, clinical presentation, and medical management of Parkinson’s disease, dystonia, and essential tremor. This is followed by chapters on the spectrum of movement disorder surgery itself, from the lesioning procedures of radiofrequency ablation, stereotactic radiosurgery, and high-frequency ultrasound to the modulatory procedures of “asleep”, image-guided deep brain stimulation (DBS) and “awake”, microelectrode-guided DBS. The final chapters focus on closed-loop DBS, drug-delivery, gene therapy, and other emerging neurosurgical therapies, highlighting long-standing experimental strategies that are reaching exciting phases of clinical translation. This volume is a valuable tool for accessing the wide spectrum of concepts that currently define this dynamic field.
Principles and Practice of Stereotactic Radiosurgery
Principles and Practice of Stereotactic Radiosurgery, Second Edition serves as the definitive reference textbook for SRS practitioners. It provides a theoretical basis for the use of therapeutic radiation including imaging techniques and radiobiology. The bulk of the textbook contains chapters that are comprehensive in scope on all diseases that are treated by SRS. Lastly, it addresses administrative and technical aspects of running an SRS unit. Each chapter provides an expansive treatment of the subject, with emphasis placed on the technical aspects of SRS so that practitioners in this field can use it as a daily reference. Written by noted experts in the field, Principles and Practice of Stereotactic Radiosurgery, Second Edition is the only reference needed for neurosurgeons, radiation oncologists and medical physicists at all levels of training and practice who are interested in SRS.
Frontiers in Neutron Capture Therapy
Frontiers in Neutron Capture Therapy contains current research results originally presented at the Eighth International Symposium on Neutron Capture Therapy for Cancer in La Jolla, CA. This comprehensive collection of peer-reviewed manuscripts is showcased in two volumes covering all aspects of the development of this multidisciplinary approach to cancer therapy. Volume I of this work includes clinical results and current progress in treatment planning, neutron sources and dosimetry, while Volume II presents the synthesis, pharmacology and tissue-targeting design of boron compounds, including work on preclinical dosimetry and radiobiology. Intended for researchers and clinicians involved with or interested in new modes of cancer therapy, this volume will also serve as a useful guideline for scientists, students, and practitioners in the field.
Textbook of Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery
This book covers stereotactic principles as well as functional stereotaxis, covering the history and uses of the techniques, treatments for specific conditions, and future developments. Includes a DVD demonstrating surgical procedures.
Radiosurgery 1999
Reports on new radiosurgery technologies, the use of novel imaging techniques for dose planning and results analyses, outcomes for patients with benign and malignant brain tumors, vascular malformation radiosurgery, and radiobiology and physics studies are the main themes in this third volume of the peer-reviewed high-quality book series ‘Radiosurgery’. It provides reports from the 1999 meeting of the International Stereotactic Radiosurgery Society (ISRS) in Sydney, Australia. As the medical field of radiosurgery grows scientifically, a record number of scientific submissions for publication were received. A selection of the important topics discussed in the ISRS meeting are presented in this volume. This publication is of special interest to neurologists, neurosurgeons and radiation oncologists who need up-to-date and precise information to keep up with the important developments in the field and their impact on the management of brain disease.
Radiosurgery 1999
'It is a good reference for physicians involved in radiosurgery, and would be of value for the novice to learn of the results of clinical series of patients with specific diagnoses.'
