In this issue of Neuroimaging Clinics, guest editor Dr. Tarik F.
Massoud brings his considerable expertise to the topic of
Neuroimaging Anatomy, Part 1: Brain and Skull. Anatomical knowledge
is critical to reducing both overdiagnosis and misdiagnosis in
neuroimaging. This issue is part one of a two-part series on
neuroimaging anatomy that focuses on the brain, with each article
addressing a specific area. The issue also includes an article on
Brain Connectomics: the study of the brain's structural and
functional connections between cells. Contains 13 relevant,
practice-oriented topics including anatomy of cerebral cortex,
lobes, and the cerebellum; brainstem anatomy; cranial nerves
anatomy; brain functional imaging anatomy; imaging of normal brain
aging; and more. Provides in-depth clinical reviews on neuroimaging
anatomy of the brain and skull, offering actionable insights for
clinical practice. Presents the latest information on this timely,
focused topic under the leadership of experienced editors in the
field. Authors synthesize and distill the latest research and
practice guidelines to create clinically significant, topic-based
reviews.
A review of our current understanding of the physical phenomena
associated with the flow of blood through the brain, applying these
concepts to the physiological and medical aspects of
cerebrovascular disease so as to be useful to both the scientist
and the clinician. Specifically the book discusses the physical
bases for the development of cerebrovascular disease and for its
clinical consequences; specific current and possible future
therapies; experimental, clinical, and computational techniques
used to investigate cerebrovascular disease; blood dynamics and its
role; imaging methods used in the diagnosis and management of
cerebrovascular disease. Intended as a one- or two-semester course
in biophysics, biomedical engineering or medical physics, this is
also of interest to medical students and interns in neurology and
cardiology, and provides a useful overview of current practice for
researchers and clinicians.
In this issue of Neuroimaging Clinics, guest editor Dr. Tarik F.
Massoud brings his considerable expertise to the topic of
Neuroimaging Anatomy, Part 2: Head, Neck, and Spine. Anatomical
knowledge is critical to reducing both overdiagnosis and
misdiagnosis in neuroimaging. This issue is part two of a two-part
series on neuroimaging anatomy that focuses on the head, neck, and
spine. Each article addresses a specific area such as the orbits,
sinonasal cavity, temporal bone, pharynx, larynx, and spinal cord.
Contains 14 relevant, practice-oriented topics including anatomy of
the orbits; maxillofacial skeleton and facial anatomy; temporal
bone anatomy; craniocervical junction and cervical spine anatomy;
anatomy of the spinal cord, coverings, and nerves; and more.
Provides in-depth clinical reviews on neuroimaging anatomy of the
head, neck, and spine, offering actionable insights for clinical
practice. Presents the latest information on this timely, focused
topic under the leadership of experienced editors in the field.
Authors synthesize and distill the latest research and practice
guidelines to create clinically significant, topic-based reviews.
Glioblastoma Resistance to Chemotherapy: Molecular Mechanisms and
Innovative Reversal Strategies brings current knowledge from an
international team of experts on the science and clinical
management of glioblastoma chemoresistance. The book discusses
topics such as molecular mechanisms of chemoresistance,
experimental models to study chemoresistance, chemoresistance to
drugs other than Temozolomide, and specific strategies to reverse
chemoresistance. Additionally, it encompasses information on how to
mitigate chemoresistance by targeted enhancement of p53 function.
This book is a valuable resource for cancer researchers,
oncologists, neuro-oncologists and other members of the biomedical
field. Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most invasive and malignant
primary brain tumor in humans with poor survival after diagnosis,
therefore it is imperative that molecular and cellular mechanisms
behind therapy resistant GBM cells, as well as the therapeutic
strategies available to counter the resistance are comprehensively
understood.
Perhaps no artery in the human body bears as much importance to
bodily functions and life as the basilar artery, by virtue of the
anatomical territories it serves. This is due to the critical
nature of the physiological functions supported by the brainstem,
the nearby cerebellum and cerebrum, and the severity of most
pathological conditions known to affect this artery, and the risk
involved in treating those conditions. This book is a comprehensive
resource of knowledge on the anatomical, radiological,
developmental, clinical, and technical aspects relevant to the
diagnosis and treatment of basilar artery diseases. Until now, no
single book has been available as a wide-ranging resource of
clinically relevant information on the basilar artery, its
pathology, and various treatment options. The co-editors are
experienced academic clinicians with active interests in clinical
neurovascular imaging and cerebrovascular surgery, who have worked
within vibrant hospital and academic settings at the forefront of
the best clinical practices related to diseases involving the
basilar artery. The co-editors clinical experience has been
acquired in centers of excellence across the USA, Europe, and the
Far East. In compiling this book, the co-editors have also called
upon many of the worlds best basic and clinical neuroscientists,
specializing in knowledge of clinical conditions affecting the
basilar artery, for their expert input on the latest clinical
management of patients with diseases involving this artery. This
book is intended for neuroradiologists, neurosurgeons,
neurologists, neurointensivists, and other physicians and
scientists engaged in the study and clinical management of patients
with disease of the basilar artery and its vascular territories of
the brain. It should also serve as a unique educational and
research resource for students and more experienced practitioners
alike within this important area of clinical medicine.
