New Concepts in Cerebral Ischemia, Hardcover by Lin, Rick C. S. (EDT), ISBN 084930119X, ISBN-13 9780849301193, Brand New, Free shipping in the US
Contributors from neuroscience, pharmacology, and other medical specialties offer detailed descriptions of the various mechanisms involved in neuronal degeneration and the glial response to stroke and/or traumatic brain injury, emphasizing potential strategies that may prove beneficial for neuroprotection following ischemic insult or a damage-induced event. Among the topics are gender differences in acute cerebral ischemia and the neuroprotective mechanisms of estrogen, insights from neural stem cell biology into new therapeutic strategies for hypoxic-ischemic brain injury, the mechanism of zinc-induced neuronal death, and the potential role of hyperbaric oxygen in treating stroke.
