The manuscripts in this book were generated from a conference
occurring at the University of Heidelberg in September 1996. These
manuscripts have been reviewed and updated by the designated
authors in late 1997 for publication in early 1998. Conferences
occur for a variety of reasons. These include the need to exchange
information where complex activities are undergoing reassessment or
change. For the emergency and critical care man agement of stroke
this is certainly the situation. Today, both the pri mary care and
the neurologic physician must provide medical care in an
environment where daily change in the knowledge base of: brain
function, disease mechanism(s), therapeutic efficacy, and cost
control are all occurring. In addition, patient advocacy has become
increasingly complex because government, employers, insurers,
health care providers as well as families all desire a voice in the
phy sician relationship with the patient. Our conference subject
was the organization of rapid care delivery and the development of
a ration al basis for treatment of a previously untreatable
disorder acute stroke. Thus, the obvious need for multiple open and
free discus sions about priority setting and modification of
current treatment plans. Clearly, the face to face opportunities
provided by this first conference on Emergency Management And
Critical Care Of Stroke (EMACCOS) are required when patient care
issues are as complex as these. Neuroscience is new to the
experience of active therapeutic inter vention.
This monograph is based on the results of a research project in
neurology. The results of the presented study are related to a
highly innovative concept in current stroke research, known as
neuroimmunology. The focus of this work is a combination of
selected common markers of inflammation as well as proinflammatory
cytokines and matrix metalloproteinases along with some of their
genetic aspects conjoint together with the course and sequelae of
human intracerebral hemorrhage. The results of this clinical,
prospective, monocentric study allow more insight into the process
of secondary post-stroke brain injury and deliver evidence for the
importance of inflammation in this condition.
