This comprehensive multidisciplinary book discusses skull base surgery. Due to complex anatomy and important functional structures, there are specific conditions for surgical procedures at the skull base. Chapters address the specifics, intricacies, and applications of different surgical techniques and approaches for each type of skull base tumor pathology. It is designed for neurosurgeons who are interested in learning more about skull base surgery and implementing its different methods and techniques into their practices.

This book introduces readers to the latest developments regarding pressure injury wounds, diabetic wounds, and negative pressure wound therapy. The first part exclusively deals with wounds from pressure ulcers, describing in detail their prevention, classification, and treatment. In turn, chapters addressing diabetic wounds form the middle part of the book. Here, the authors provide guidance on the medication and treatment (e.g. stem cells, laser) of patients suffering from this disease. The book’s last part, which focuses on negative pressure wound therapy, addresses all major aspects of this approach, reflecting the latest research. Illustrated with a wealth of high-quality pictures throughout, the book offers a unique resource for both beginners and experienced plastic surgeons.
Mass spectrometry is a state-of-the-art tool for basic biological research and applied clinical diagnostics. This book covers sample preparation for mass spectrometric analysis for proteomics, clinical studies, and food analysis. In addition, it explores possible directions for further developing the technology and its potential applications.

Article topics will include historical, current and future intraoperative imaging modality; iMRI suites: history, design, utility and cost-effectiveness; Stereotactic platforms for iMRI; iMRI for tumor: maximizing extent of resection of glioma; IMRI for tumor: combining iMRI with functional MRI; iMRI for tumor: pituitary adenoma; iMRI for tumor: MR thermometry; iMRI for tumor: LITT for spinal tumors; iMRI for functional/epilepsy neurosurgery: DBS placement; iMRI for functional/epilepsy neurosurgery: MR thermometry for mesial temporal epilepsy; iMRI for functional/epilepsy neurosurgery: MR thermometry HIFU; Fluorescence imaging/agents in tumor resection; Intraoperative 3D ultrasound; Intraoperative 3D CT: spine surgery; Intraoperative 3D CT: cranial/functional/trigem; Intraoperative imaging for vascular lesions; Imaging of intraoperative drug delivery; Intraoperative ultrasound for peripheral nerve; and Intraoperative Raman Spectroscopy.
Here is the first biography to appear in fifty years of Harvey Cushing, a giant of American medicine and without doubt the greatest figure in the history of brain surgery. Drawing on new collections of intimate personal and family papers, diaries and patient records, Michael Bliss captures Cushing's professional and his personal life in remarkable detail. Bliss paints an engaging portrait of a man of ambition, boundless, driving energy, a fanatical work ethic, a penchant for self-promotion and ruthlessness, more than a touch of egotism and meanness, and an enormous appetite for life. Equally important, Bliss traces the rise of American surgery as seen through the eyes of one of its pioneers....
This volume focuses on adult craniopharyngiomas, offering various perspectives. The first part of the book provides an up-to-date overview of the pathogenesis and management of adult craniopharyngiomas, helping readers understand the pathogenesis and molecular pathways. It highlights the importance of animal models for addressing molecular keys and for developing targeted therapies. The second part deals with clinical management, detailing the latest results in the era of endoscopic surgery, including the major contribution of the extended nasal endoscopic approaches for suprasellar and retrochiasmatic tumors. The book also discusses the key aspects of these tumors and how to manage them. The last part of the book addresses the future therapies and recurrences after surgery and radiotherapy. This volume is of interest to neurosurgeons, endocrinologists, paediatricians, radiologists and oncologists.
