Stroke!
Suddenly, and often without warning, a life can change forever as a result of a stroke.Strokes occur when a part of the brain stops working due to a blocked or burst blood vessel. Although strokes are a leading cause of death and disability, timely recognition of the signs and symptoms can help prevent the worst effects. In Stroke, Dr. Vladimir Hachinski presents readers with a thoughtful, accessible look at North Americas leading cause of neurological disability. Topics include: What is a stroke and how to prevent one Hardening of the arteries Signs and symptoms Tests and treatments Drugs, surgical options, and alternative options Featuring case studies, diagrams and charts, Stroke is a timely and informative guide to a serious condition.BIO:VLADIMIR HACHINSKI. MD, FRCPC, MSC (DME), DSC (MED), is Chief of the Department of Clinical Neurological Sciences at the London Health Sciences Centre and Professor of Medicine at the University of Western Ontario.
The Behavioral and Cognitive Neurology of Stroke
The care of stroke patients has changed dramatically. As well as improvements in the emergency care of the condition, there have been marked advances in our understanding, management and rehabilitation of residual deficits. This book is about the care of stroke patients, focusing on behavioural and cognitive problems. It provides a comprehensive review of the field covering the diagnostic value of these conditions, in the acute and later phases, their requirements in terms of treatment and management and the likelihood and significance of long-term disability. This book will appeal to all clinicians involved in the care of stroke patients, as well as to neuropsychologists, other rehabilitation therapists and research scientists investigating the underlying neuroscience.
The History of the World Federation of Neurology
This book covers the history of the World Federation of Neurology (WFN), the international society for the clinical neurosciences, from its founding in Brussels in 1957 to the present day.
Recovery After Stroke
Covering neuroscience and rehabilitation strategies, an essential handbook and reference for multidisciplinary stroke rehabilitation teams.
Dementias
To a certain extent the dementias have been forgotten diseases until just recen tly when they were brought to the attention of the general public and health authorities as a result of the increasing number of cases in the aging popula tion, especially among famous people, and because of the efforts of private foundations. The goals of the present volume are to present the dementias to health prac titioners, to provide some basic information on their epidemiology and biolo gical basis and to discuss the diagnostic and clinical problems that physicians and institutions face when caring for demented patients. This book explores the various types of dementias and is not limited to Alzheimer's di...
Vascular Disease, Alzheimer's Disease, and Mild Cognitive Impairment
"Cerebrovascular and Alzheimer disease often occur together, but are usually studied apart. This book offers a timely integrated approach to both diseases. Beginning with a section on epidemiology and neuropsychology, this volume goes on to discuss and explore the neuropathological and neurophysiological mechanisms of these disorders. This book then develops a novel concept of an Alzheimer disease/vascular dementia spectrum. Sections on neuroimaging, as well as treatments and interventions follow. The editors have succeeded in gathering an impressive group of clinicians and scientists, who are well qualified by their achievements and leadership to make important contributions to this new integrated approach to dementing disorders. This important book should have broad appeal to anyone studying or caring for patients with dementing disorders, as it is comprehensive, yet focused on a unitary, complementary and pragmatic approach"--
Stalin and the Scientists
“One of the finest, most gripping surveys of the history of Russian science in the twentieth century.” —Douglas Smith, author of Former People: The Final Days of the Russian Aristocracy Stalin and the Scientists tells the story of the many gifted scientists who worked in Russia from the years leading up to the revolution through the death of the “Great Scientist” himself, Joseph Stalin. It weaves together the stories of scientists, politicians, and ideologues into an intimate and sometimes horrifying portrait of a state determined to remake the world. They often wreaked great harm. Stalin was himself an amateur botanist, and by falling under the sway of dangerous charlatans like Tr...
Baloh and Honrubia's Clinical Neurophysiology of the Vestibular System
Continued Praise for Clinical Neurophysiology of the Vestibular System.
Transient Ischemic Attacks
This book was born from the synthesis of the rapidly proliferating field of cerebrovascular disease research, excitement about effective new imaging and therapeutic strategies, and the need to timely educate clinicians about the changing playing field for a common, serious and expensive syndrome - transient ischemic attacks (TIA). TIAs can now stand on their own as an important, and, at times, unique aspect of symptomatic cerebrovascular disease, distinct enough to warrant a textbook in its own right. With new information on a worrisome and serious natural history, growing knowledge of risk factors and their management, sophisticated neuroimaging techniques, and a broadening armamentarium of...
