Immunology has developed quite impressively over the past decade and perhaps very few fields in medicine or biology have grown so explosively. Completely new fields have been elucidated in depth. We recall only the definition of the nature and function of RLA antigens at the molecular level. the chemical and functional identification of several cytokines. and the correlation to particular immunological functions of specific epitopes present on cellular mem branes. The extensive application of immunological techniques and concepts to the neurological sciences has led to the development of neuroimmunology. a disci pline in its infancy until few years ago. In these last years. neuroimmunology h...
First multi-year cumulation covers six years: 1965-70.
In the spring of 1993 a meeting of the European Charcot Foundation was held in Bari as it was quite clear that there was a renaissance of Italian interest in cerebro spinal fluid. Two of the influential figures with a long-standing commitment to this field were Professor Paolo Livrea and Dr. Maria Trojano. At this meeting we con sidered the possibility of collecting together the various papers which had been presented, however the idea evolved further to the present volume, which incor porates a broader view. This starts with the anatomical approach, including neuro pathology, CSF cells and MRI correlations. It also includes virology, physiology of the blood-CSF barrier and the immunology of...
Coeliac disease may be manifested with gastrointestinal symptoms, or be latent. It may also be present with dermatitis herpetiformis, dental enamel defects or neurological disorders - especially epilepsy. In the case of the latter symptoms, these appear mostly in relation to occipital seizures, frequently intractable. This book examines these and other neurological manifestations.
Stem cell transplantation may be complicated by treatment-related mortality and like the immune system that it regenerates has equal potential to either create and preserve or destroy. The dual nature that defines stem cells is differentiation that ultimately leads to death and self-renewal, which leads to immortality. What types of stem cells are there? How are they collected? What are their attributes and characteristics? This textbook devotes many chapters to familiarize the reader with the basic science, clinical aspects, and new questions being raised in the field of stem cell biology. Blood stem cells for tolerance and tissue regeneration are a rapidly developing research and clinical ...
This book is an up-to-date, comprehensive review of the neuropsychiatry of multiple sclerosis and related diseases, by active authorities in the field, with an emphasis on diagnosis and management. Critical appraisal of the methodological aspects and limitations of the current research on the neuropsychiatry of demyelinating diseases is included, and unanswered questions are highlighted. Pharmacological aspects of management are discussed. Neuropsychiatric Symptoms of Inflammatory Demyelinating Diseases is aimed at neurologists, multiple sclerosis specialists and psychiatrists, and will also be of interest to intensive care doctors, psychologists ad neuropsychologists, research and specialist nurses, clinical researchers and methodologists.
