Stroke is a major global health problem because of its large contribution to mortality, morbidity, and disability. The most common form of stroke is ischemic stroke which accounts for approximately 80% of all strokes. During the past decade, our knowledge of the molecular and cellular processes that contribute to stroke pathophysiology has increased substantially and offers many targets for future therapeutic strategies. This book provides an overview of the current knowledge of stroke pathophysiology and the mechanisms that interfere with recovery and regeneration. Moreover, this book reviews the latest advances in the development of future therapeutic strategies.
Stroke remains one of the most devastating diseases in industrialized countries. Recanalization of the occluded arterial vessel using thrombolysis is the only causal therapy available. However, thrombolysis is limited due to severe side effects and a limited time window. As such, only a minority of patients receives this kind of therapy, showing a need for new and innovative treatment strategies. Although neuroprotective drugs have been shown to be beneficial in a variety of experimental stroke models, they ultimately failed in clinical trials. Consequently, recent scientific focus has been put on modulation of post-ischemic neuroregeneration, either via stimulation of endogenous neurogenesi...
The results of preclinical animal research have been successfully implemented in various medical and biological practices. The use of animals in medicine is based on significant anatomical, physiological, and molecular similarities between humans and animals. Particularly, mammals that have vast biological commonalities with humans represent not only a valuable model to explore the mechanisms of varied human diseases, but also to define new diagnostic and treatment strategies. This book covers broad but important aspects of animal modeling for scientific medicine as well as for translational systems and biological sciences. Alternative methods such as cell culture and in vitro experiments that do not require the sacrifice of an animal are encouraged for scientific and medical studies.
Shows why and how the body deteriorates as life goes on and offers an easy-read overview of new solutions coming out of current studies of aging. Wrinkles and gray hairs and misplaced keys—the obvious signs of getting older. Surprisingly, all of the miniscule events in our cells and organs that are responsible for aging begin their deterioration in our third decade. This book explains what is going on inside cells and organs that result in the outward appearances of aging. Readers will discover what causes skin to sag, hair to turn gray, blood vessels to stiffen, and other, mostly unwelcome events. Finally, and probably most importantly, the reader will be introduced to what can be done to...
Das große Standardwerk zur klinischen Neurologie liegt jetzt unter der Federführung des international renommierten Herausgeberteams und der Mitarbeit von über 150 FachexpertInnen als erweiterte und komplett überarbeitete Neuauflage vor. Die aktuellen Erkenntnisse zum Stand von Klinik, Verlauf und Therapie neurologischer Erkrankungen werden systematisch zusammengefasst und für die praktische Anwendung gewichtet - sowohl für häufige als auch für seltene Krankheitsbilder. Zudem profitiert die 8. Auflage von neuen Kapiteln zu funktionellen Bewegungsstörungen, dissoziativen Anfällen, spinaler Muskelatrophie sowie zu neurologischen Nebenwirkungen von Tumor-Therapien. Das Werk wurde konze...
Meaning in Translation: Illusion of Precision represents a collection of papers on fundamental and applied research on a wide range of linguistic topics, including terminology standardisation and harmonisation, the pragmatic, semantic and grammatical aspects of meaning in translation, and the translation of sacred, legal, poetic, promotional and scientific and technical texts. This volume offers a platform where scholars from various linguistic and cultural backgrounds, studying a variety of subjects, share their opinions on matters of utmost importance in the field of translation theory and practice. This book will appeal to researchers working within the various fields of linguistics, language planners, terminologists, practicing translators, and students at all levels, as well as anybody interested in the dynamic development of a language.
