This new multithematic book in the series Advances and Technical Standards in Neurosurgery offers an update on several basic and clinical problems in neurosurgery. The main topics are cerebral tumors, epilepsy and vascular malformations. The first chapter will deal with the burden of childhood cancer across the globe, a particular relevant problem in times where economic restrictions and the increased difficulties to access cure are the direct impact of the Covid19 pandemic. A very detailed chapter will provide new guidelines for neuroimaging investigations for intracerebral pathological conditions of surgical interest in the pediatric population. The technical aspects and technological adva...
Das Nachschlagewerk für die Weiterbildung und die praktische Arbeit in der Klinik erscheint mit neuem Herausgeberteam komplett überarbeitet und präsentiert kompakt zusammengefasst die Highlights der aktuellen pädiatrischen Hämatologie und Onkologie. Verständlich und ohne Ballast präsentiert, ist das Buch für Spezialisten auf dem Gebiet ebensogut geeignet wie als anwendungsbezogener Einstieg in die Thematik. Das Werk ist in drei übersichtliche Abschnitte eingeteilt: die pädiatrische Hämatologie und Hämostaseologie, die allgemeine pädiatrische Onkologie und die spezielle pädiatrische Onkologie. Hier werden Leukozyten und Lymphome sowie solide Tumoren besprochen, darunter Tumoren ...
Historical Document: The original protocol HIT-GBM-C. Das Studienprotokoll HIT-GBM-C startete im Jahr 2000 und war dann das groesste und weltweit fuehrende Behandlungsprotokoll fuer Kinder und Jugendliche mit malignen Gliomen und diffus intrinsischen Ponsgliomen. Diese Buch beinhaltet das damalige Studienprotokoll.
The pharmacological fight against epilepsy began many centuries ago when Hippocrates discovered that the cause of epilepsy is natural, as opposed to supernatural and, as a consequence, must be treated with a natural remedy. Even though science has significantly progressed since that era, the challenge to find remedies for epilepsy is ever present. The aim of this particular volume is to offer an up-to-date review of the most recent advances in antiepileptic drug development, considered from various viewpoints: (i) general, by taking into account the size of refractory epilepsy and its related problems; (ii) experimental, by exploring the mechanisms of epileptogenesis and the possiblility of influencing it through drugs, and (iii) clinical, by describing the results obtained with compounds currently at an advanced stage of testing.
This volume provides an introduction to the essential techniques required for studying the molecular biology of brain disease. The approaches and strategies for investigations of gene structure and regulation are described with reference to the molecular genetics of prion and Alzheimer's disease. The effects of aberrant gene regulation can also be examined at the protein level by immunocytochemistry and autoradiography. Improved understanding of basic biology has resulted in new approaches to animal models using transgenic techniques and new therapeutic approaches. The volume is structured to illustrate all these approaches and demonstrate the practice and promise of molecular neuropathology.
Progress in the application of machine learning (ML) to the physical and life sciences has been rapid. A decade ago, the method was mainly of interest to those in computer science departments, but more recently ML tools have been developed that show significant potential across wide areas of science. There is a growing consensus that ML software, and related areas of artificial intelligence, may, in due course, become as fundamental to scientific research as computers themselves. Yet a perception remains that ML is obscure or esoteric, that only computer scientists can really understand it, and that few meaningful applications in scientific research exist. This book challenges that view. Wit...
