The contents of this volume are based upon the proceedings of a
Sympo sium entitled "Infectious Diseases of the Central Nervous
System" held in Phoenix, Arizona, and sponsored by the Barrow
Neurological Institute and Foundation during its Ninth Annual
Symposium. The purpose of the Symposium was to bring together
knowledgeable experts in this field to review information that is
available and to enhance our knowledge of new developments in the
field of infectious diseases in the central nervous system. Because
the subject could not be covered in its entirety by this volume, we
have placed particular emphasis on recent developments and new
information. The volume includes a remarkably fresh and interesting
discussion of viral diseases as they affect the nervous system,
including conventional and unconventional virus agents, and in
addition, discussions of path ophysiology and epidemiology and
postinfectious diseases of the nervous system. A similar approach
is taken to the treatment of bacterial infection. Discussions of
pathophysiology are intertwined with discussions of diag nostic
techniques, prevention techniques and treatment of bacterial in
fections. Additional surgical problems are discussed regarding
prevention and management of peri operative infection and brain
abscess. Special consid eration was given to coccidioidomycosis
which is prevalent in the western states; also, there is a
discussion of parasitic infections. This volume will be of interest
to neurologists and neurosurgeons and any physician dealing with
infectious disease. RICHARD A. THOMPSON, M.D. JOHN R. GREEN, M.D.
This volume represents a collection of topics presented at the
Tenth Annual Symposium of the Barrow Neurological Institute. No
attempt is made to be comprehensive but rather an attempt is made
to give adequate attention to the major important topics in this
field. Neuro developmental biology, pathophysiology, and laboratory
evaluation are discussed. Subjects include hypoxic ischemia,
intraventricular hemorrhage, fetal neurosurgery, surgery of
hydrocephalus, problems of apnea, ultrasound and CT imaging
techniques, electrodiagnosis and ethical and economic issues. This
volume will be of interest to neurologists and neurosurgeons in
general, and especially to pediatric neurologists and
neurosurgeons, and perinatologists. Richard A. Thompson, M. D. John
R. Green, M. D. Stanley D. Johnsen, M. D. vii Contents Contributors

Many people seem to assume that if they died today they would
surely go to heaven, yet they live their lives far from God. Who is
responsible for your eternal soul: you, or the Lord, or both? Once
you settle this easy question with a willing God, you can get on
with your life with great peace of mind. Misconceptions abound as
to what will get you to heaven, and what will plunge your soul into
hell. How much power over your body, soul, and spirit does your
church and its leaders have, if any? Are fear tactics used to
intimidate you? This is a handbook to help you think about what you
may have been led to believe, and what God has actually said in His
word.
