Ryanodine Receptors
In recent years, the ryanodine receptor has emerged as a new and very promising target for the treatment of several cardiovascular disorders, including cardiac arrhythmias and heart failure. This volume is the most current publication devoted to the major intracellular calcium-release channel, the ryanodine receptor. "In this series of brief but informative chapters, the contributions progress from the basic gene family and primary structure, through its 3D structure so far, to its regulation and physiology." David E. Clapham, MD, PhD Professor of Neurobiology and Pediatrics Harvard Medical School Dr. Xander H.T. Wehrens received his M.D. and Ph.D. degrees from Maastricht University in the N...
Neuromuscular Disorders in Clinical Practice
Comprehensive, thoroughly updated, and expanded, Neuromuscular Disorders in Clinical Practice, Second Edition encompasses all disorders of the peripheral nervous system, covering all aspects of neuromuscular diseases from diagnosis to treatment. Mirroring the first book, this two-volume edition is divided into two parts. Part one discusses the approach to neuromuscular disorders, covering principles and basics, neuromuscular investigations, and assessment and treatment of neurological disorders. Part two then addresses the complete range of specific neuromuscular diseases: neuronopathies, peripheral neuropathies, neuromuscular junction disorders, muscle ion channel disorders, myopathies, and...

Sepsis
The comprehensive coverage of the incidence, etiology, pathophysiology, definition, and therapy of sepsis and septic shock gives you the knowledge you need to keep up with modern therapeutic strategies. The authors are either basic scientists or clinical researchers whose goal is to present the newest aspects of their work in comprehensible language. They clearly show the new perspectives that are emerging in the treatment of sepsis and septic shock.
Cancer and Autoimmunity
Of the two disciplines in parallel development for two decades, tumor immunology and transplantation immunology, the latter has thrived and has led to some of the most critical discoveries in immunobiology. The former continues to thwart both scientists and clinicians alike.The goal of immunologists in modern day research is to develop a simple and effective means to manipulate cancer in vivo, possibly encompassing several venues: identifying a phenotypic marker and the use of either active or passive immunization; include the use of passive reagents carrying "warheads" to selectively destroy cancer cells; or altering the basic process of cell survival.This excellent multidiscipline-authored...
Clinical Neuroimmunology
Clinical Neurimmunology is the major reference text in the field, providing broad and comprehensive coverage of the interaction between the nervous and immune systems in both normal and diseased states. Understanding this interaction is fundamental to developing therapeutic approaches to disease and injury of the nervous system that are currently only marginally amenable to therapy. Neuroimmunology is a well-recognised and growing specialty world wide, both at the basic science and clinical level. It is a fast moving field and this is the most up to date text available. Chapters are dedicated to the role of the immune system in disorders affecting both the central and peripheral nervous syst...
Management of Stroke
Diagnosis, evaluation, imaging, emergency evaluation and management, management of hemorrhagic stroke, therapies to restore or improve blood flow, neuroprotective therapies, and secondary prevention of stroke are discussed. Algorithms are presented for evaluation of suspected stroke, ordering of tranesophageal or transthoracic echocardiography, assessment prior to treatment with rt-PA, and prevention of stroke.
Essential Cytometry Methods
Cytometry is characterization and measurement of cells and cellular constituents, most often used to immunophenotype cells - that is, to distinguish healthy cells from diseased cells. Flow Cytometry specifically is quite sensitive, allowing researchers to detect rare cell types and residual levels of disease, and as such has been the method of choice for important studies such as monitoring the blood of AIDS patients. For this reason, there is a great need for a practical, comprehensive manual that will be useful across a broad range of laboratories. This volume, as part of the Reliable Lab Solution Series, delivers such a tool, offering busy researchers across many disciplines a handy resource of all the best methods and protocols for Cytometry to use at the bench. - Highlights top downloaded and cited chapters, authored by pioneers in the field and enhanced with their tips, and pitfalls to avoid - Loaded with detailed protocols developed and used by leaders in the field - Refines, organizes and updates popular methods from one of our top selling series, Methods in Cell Biology
Neurology of the Arts
This book is the first attempt to provide a basis for the interactionof the brain and nervous system with painting, music andliterature. The introduction deals with the problems of creativity andwhich parts of the brain are involved. Then an overview of artpresents the multiple facets, such as anatomy, and the myths appearingin ancient descriptions of conditions such as polio and migraine. Theneurological basis of painters like Goya and van Gogh isanalysed. Other chapters in the section on art cover da Vinci''smechanics and the portrayal of epilepsy. The section on music concernsthe parts of the brain linked to perception and memory, as well aspeople who cannot appreciate music, and the effect of music onintelligence and learning (the Mozart effect). The section onliterature relates to Shakespeare, Dostoyevsky, Conan Doyle, JamesJoyce and the poetry of one of England''s most famous neurologists, Henry Head
