Escourolle and Poirier's Manual of Basic Neuropathology is a monograph on neuropathology that provides classic macroscopic and microscopic descriptions of the pathology of diseases of the nervous system complemented with the most up-to-date accounts of the pathophysiology, genetics, and molecular biology of these diseases. The book is divided into 14 chapters that cover all the major categories of neurological diseases. The chapter topics are as follows: 1, introduction to the basic reactions of the nervous system; 2, neoplasms; 3, traumatic injury; 4, vascular disease; 5, infectious disease; 6, prion disease; 7, demyelinating disease; 8, degenerative disease; 9, acquired metabolic disease; 10, hereditary metabolic disease; 11, congenital malformations and perinatal disease; 12, disease of skeletal muscle; 13, disease of peripheral nerve; and 14, disease of the pituitary gland. An Appendix gives an overview of the technical aspects of laboratory study of the nervous system, including the latest concepts in molecular diagnosis.
Now in its 5th edition, Escourolle and Poirier Manual of Basic Neuropathology provide a basic description of the various diseases of the nervous system and their underlying pathology.
Now in its 5th edition, Escourolle & Poirier Manual of Basic Neuropathology continues the tradition of being one of the most respected texts in neuropathology by providing an introduction to the various diseases of the nervous system and their underlying pathology. This thorough, yet concise manual covers the full spectrum of the various categories of neurologic disease, including neoplasia, trauma, vascular disease, and infection, with separate chapters on prion diseases, multiple sclerosis, degenerative disorders, acquired metabolic diseases, hereditary metabolic diseases, congenital malformations, perinatal diseases, skeletal muscle, peripheral nerve, and the pituitary gland.

This book tells the full story of stroke through the experiences of many who were 'eye' witnesses to this long process.
DHEA and the Brain reviews a range of existing studies regarding DHEA administration to animals and humans. Chapter authors evaluate DHEA metabolism in tissues and organs, explore DHEA effects in the liver that may be of importance to the brain, and discuss recent findings regarding how DHEA is made in the brain. New perspectives about the neuropro
Here's the 3rd edition of the comprehensive review of pathology of the central and peripheral nervous system. The text surveys all neuropathologic techniques with special reference to muscle and peripheral nerve biopsy. Illustrations demonstrate techniques and show the morphologic and histologic appearance of diseases and tumors. Everything the reader needs to perform the techniques can be found in this book.
Includes subject section, name section, and 1968-1970, technical reports.
This practical guide to the diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases discusses modern molecular techniques, morphological classification, fundamentals of clinical symptomology, diagnostic pitfalls and immunostaining protocols. It is based on the proteinopathy concept of neurodegenerative disease, which has influenced classification and provides new strategies for therapy. Numerous high-quality images, including histopathology photomicrographs and neuroradiology scans, accompany the description of morphologic alterations and interpretation of immunoreactivities. Diagnostic methods and criteria are placed within recent developments in neuropathology, including the now widespread application of immunohistochemistry. To aid daily practice, the guide includes diagnostic algorithms and offers personal insights from experienced experts in the field. Special focus is given to the way brain tissue should be handled during diagnosis. This is a must-have reference for medical specialists and specialist medical trainees in the fields of pathology, neuropathology and neurology working with neuropathologic features of neurodegenerative diseases.
Most textbooks on neurodegenerative disorders have used a classification scheme based upon either clinical syndromes or anatomical distribution of the pathology. In contrast, this book looks to the future and uses a classification based upon molecular mechanisms, rather than clinical or anatomical boundaries. Major advances in molecular genetics and the application of biochemical and immunocytochemical techniques to neurodegenerative disorders have generated this new approach. Throughout most of the current volume, diseases are clustered according to the proteins that accumulate within cells (e.g. tau, α-synuclein and TDP-43) and in the extracellular compartments (e.g. β-amyloid and prion ...
