Cerebral Vasospasm

Bryce Weir is a high-profile, respected neurologist. Dr. Macdonald is a colleague of Dr. Weir's and is a "rising star" in the field of neurology.This book is the first to cover all aspects of cerebral vasospasm in depth. It takes the reader from the first descriptions of this puzzling and deadly phenomenon to the latest laboratory evidence explaining its pathophysiology. Packed with clinical pearls, it is a must for neurosurgeons, interventional radiologists, neurologists, and neuropathologists.

Commentaire

"...this is indeed a magnum opus and would play an important factor in finding a remedy for vasospasm...I would add that it is a must read for any neuroscientist currently undertaking research into the subject and indeed would be a valuable background text for any neurosurgeon in training"-JOURNAL OF NEUROLOGY, NEUROSUREGERY,AND PSYCHIATRY (2003)"Seldom published is a volume as remarkable as Cerebral Vasospasm. ...It provides a comprehensive review of the topic from what seems to me to be every conceivable angle. ...The wisdom of the authors is truly profound and they share it generously with the reader. ...Its in-depth treatment of all aspects of cerebral vasospasm, coupled with a relatively reasonable price, make it a must-have for anybody involved in the investigation, be it clinical or laboratory, of this interesting problem."--Ian B. Ross, University of Neurosurgeons, in the JOURNAL OF NEUROSURGERY (February 2002)"This book has an easy to follow format and is accessible to those reviewing it as a comprehensive reference. The book will be useful to physiologists, residents, neurologists and neurosurgeons. ...This is a welcome, comprehensive review of the basic clinical aspects of cerebral vasospasm. It will be a standard by which all future books on cerebral vasospasm will be judged. There are no current references like this book." @source&#;Joseph J. Grenier, University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine for DOODY'S PUBLISHING (2002)"...the most complete textbook on this topic. ...This book is an extremely valuable synthesis of information on cerebral vasospasm and cerebral arterial pathophysiology. It is meant not only for neurosurgeons who would like to refresh their general knowledge of the topic, by using this book as a dictionary; it is also suitable for physicians who have less knowledge than specialists about the pathogenesis, prevention, and management of this disease."--Jean-Pierre Castel, University Hospital Pellegrin, France, in NEW ENGLAND JOURNAL OF MEDICINE (October 2001)
