Great progress has been made in the understanding and prevention of
secondary brain damage from acute cerebral disorders, such as
trauma and ischemia. Advances may be concerned in particular with
better organization and logistics of preclinical emergency care,
including rapid arrival of well-trained medical staff on the scene
of an accident and of transportation to a competent hospital.
Nevertheless, it is a safe assumption that development of secondary
brain damage from both intra- and extracranial causes still
represents a major factor for the final outcome in severe head
injury. Thus, exchanges of experiences and information between
various disciplines involved with this important clinical problem -
trauma still assumes the number one position as a cause of
morbidity and mortality up to an age of 45 years - may provide a
basis for in-depth analysis of remaining problems as well as of
methods of their solution. This exactly is the purpose of the
present publication on concepts and findings pertinent for the
general subject of secondary brain damage from various experimental
as well as clinical viewpoints. An internationally high-ranking
group of experts has been contributing to this collection of
reviews on cerebral trauma and ischemia and its adverse sequelae,
including cerebral exploration by most modern technologies, such as
NMR spectroscopy or PET scanning, among others.
