Meningiomas are the most frequently reported neuro-oncologic condition, accounting for 12% to 30% of all primary intracranial tumors. The first case of intracranial meningioma treated with stereotactic radiosurgery was reported by Backlund E-O in 1971. Since then, more than 200,000 meningiomas have been treated with stereotactic radiosurgery worldwide to date. The large number of patients treated using this method is due to the fact that meningiomas are frequently located in critical areas and microsurgery is often associated with severe and permanent neurological complications. This book discusses the advantages, risks and limits of stereotactic radiosurgery relating to all regions of inter...

The development of the clinical application of cell transplantation to the central nervous system is currently in a very dynamic phase. Nevertheless, it needs to be emphasized that neural grafting still constitutes an experimental approach and not a therapy. It is highly important to maintain a close contact and interaction between clinical and animal experimental research. Unfortunately, there is a risk that the clinical trials do not have a solid experimental base and that they are performed in a manner that does not permit a stringent scientific evaluation of the results. This book, as was the aim of the symposium on which it is based, creates a dialogue between representatives of basic neuroscience and clinical research in order to promote the further development of intracerebral transplantation into a therapy in movement disorders."
A collection of essays by the art historian Aby Warburg, these essays look beyond iconography to more psychological aspects of artistic creation: the conditions under which art was practised; its social and cultural contexts; and its conceivable historical meaning.
Systems Biomedicine is a field in perpetual development. By definition a translational discipline, it emphasizes the role of quantitative systems approaches in biomedicine and aims to offer solutions to many emerging problems characterized by levels and types of complexity and uncertainty unmet before. Many factors, including technological and societal ones, need to be considered. In particular, new technologies are providing researchers with the data deluge whose management and exploitation requires a reinvention of cross-disciplinary team efforts. The advent of “omics” and high-content imaging are examples of advances de facto establishing the necessity of systems approaches. Hypothesi...
