Chan (neurological sciences, Stanford U.) presents 36 contributions looking at the current status and future directions of stroke pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment. Emphasis is placed on the cellular and molecular mechanisms of ischemic cell death and repair, clinical aspects of imaging, risk factors, and therapeutic strategies. At the March 2000 conference on cerebrovascular disease, the papers were presented in panels devoted to oxidative stress; apoptosis; "hot topics"; hemorrhage, edema, and secondary injury; inflammation; gene transfer and therapy; neurogenesis and plasticity; magnetic resonance imaging in clinical stroke; and risk factors, clinical trials, and new therapeutic horizons.Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Book Description
Prevention, diagnosis, and treatment are the watchwords in stroke research for basic neuroscientists and clinicians alike. This book, from the 22nd Princeton Conference on Cerebrovascular Disease, contains contributions from outstanding investigators on current topics in stroke research. The contents cover the current status and future directions of stroke pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment, with special emphasis on the molecular and cellular mechanisms of ischaemic cell death and repair, and clinical issues including imaging, risk factors, and therapeutic strategies in stroke. Available in both print and online formats, this survey of the basic and clinical science of stroke is an essential resource for all involved in advancing knowledge of cerebrovascular disease.
