Neurology Autism Oxidative Stress, Inflammation, and Immune Abnormalities Edited by

100 Instructive Cases Edited by

Stephen G. Reich

Abha Chauhan, Ved Chauhan, and W. Ted Brown

University Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore, USA

New York State Institute for Basic Research in Developmental Disabilities, Staten Island, USA

Autism: Oxidative Stress, Inflammation, and Immune Abnormalities brings together a wealth of cutting-edge evidence that is already influencing how we treat this serious condition. It looks at the role of neuropathological abnormalities, genetics, and those factors common to oxidative stress such as inflammation, immune dysfunction, aberrant cellular signaling, and gene-environment interactions. Among dozens of research topics, this volume: • Looks at interactions between genetic and environmental factors such as the maternal immune environment and prenatal/postnatal environmental stressors • Summarizes evidence for oxidative damage and inflammation in autism • Introduces a PDD behavior inventory as a tool for assessing autism • Considers autism as an aberrant adaptive response to neuroinflammation and oxidative stress • Examines the role of abnormal calcium signaling and the hypothesis that it may represent a target for novel therapeutics • Presents a hypothesis that autism arises from the dysregulation of a unified gut/brain system rather than originating in the brain alone • Proposes the utility of using a biopsychosocial method to treat autism This book shows us that autism is not only developmental but also a chronic condition based on active pathophysiology, and that it is not only behavioral but also presents somatic and systemic features. The findings in these chapters support the theory that oxidative stress plays an important role in autism. They also point to the value of conducting in-depth mechanistic studies as a way to uncover new targets for therapeutic intervention.

Neurology Clinical Diagnosis and Management of Dystonia Edited by

Thomas T. Warner Royal Free Hospital, London, UK

Susan B. Bressman Beth Israel Medical Center, New York, USA

One hundred years have passed since the first clinical descriptions of dystonia cases appeared in the literature. In the ensuing century, the study of this protean movement disorder has undergone a turbulent evolution, with dramatic shifts in the views regarding its causation and phenomenology. Considered for a period of time as a psychological or psychiatric condition, the dystonias are now recognized, in the majority of cases, as an organic neurological disorder. The clinical signs and symptoms manifested in patients with various dystonic disorders are extremely varied, so while it is one of the most common movement disorders, it is perhaps the most misunderstood and least clinically recognized. With chapters contributed by experts from both sides of the Atlantic, Clinical Diagnosis and Management of Dystonia provides a comprehensive review of the pathogenesis of dystonia, an overview of the classification of the various dystonic disorders, and a summary of the latest developments in treatment, including emerging pharmacological therapies and the use of botulinum toxin.

Robert H. Rosenwasser

Handbook of Neurofeedback is a comprehensive introduction to this rapidly growing field, offering practical information on the history of neurofeedback, theoretical concerns, and applications for a variety of disorders encountered by clinicians. Disorders covered include ADHD, depression, autism, aging, and traumatic brain injury. Using case studies and a minimum of technical language, the field’s pioneers and most experienced practitioners discuss emerging topics, general and specific treatment procedures, training approaches, and theories on the efficacy of neurofeedback.

Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA

Through the combination of the latest imaging modalities and microdevice delivery, interventional neuroradiologic techniques are currently revolutionizing the therapy for many of the most common neurological and neurosurgical disorders. Crossing the boundaries of classically delineated medical and surgical specialties including neurosurgery, neuroradiology, and neurology, interventional neuroradiology uses advanced neuroimaging combined with endovascular techniques to guide catheters and devices through blood vessels. These procedures can treat diseases involving structures of the head, neck, and central nervous system. These advances now provide noninvasive treatment for many disorders that were previously treated only with open surgical techniques, and make treatments possible for many patients—who until recently would have had no acceptable therapeutic options. Interventional Neuroradiology discusses CT, MRI, and ultrasonographic evaluation of cerebrovascular disease, focusing on current neuroimaging evaluation of disorders. It emphasizes the integration of current neuroimaging information into decision-making and performance practices for neuroendovascular procedures. The book describes clinical techniques and includes the most current technical modifications for the varying devices in use today. Filled with scientifically concise illustrations, the text depicts pertinent neuroanatomy, imaging, and neuroendovascular techniques. Written by a panel of today's leading experts in the field of interventional neuroradiology, this volume demonstrates the potential of these lifesaving techniques.

Selected Contents: Vascular Anatomy of the Head, Neck, and Skull Base. Applied Neurovascular Anatomy of the Brain and Skull. Vascular Anatomy of the Spine and Spinal Cord.

The Ischemic Penumbra Edited by

Geoffrey A. Donnan, Jean-Claude Baron, Stephen M. Davis, and Frank R. Sharp The Ischemic Penumbra presents the current status of concepts and research on this topic and identifies the latest methods for clinicians to quickly and efficiently recognize viable cerebral tissue for enhanced stroke management. Focusing on state-of-the-science technologies and current trends, the book examines imaging strategies utilizing PET, SPECT, MR, and CT for improved identification of key areas for intervention and therapy in the management of stroke patients. With chapters by international authorities on the topic—including the originator of the ischemic penumbra concept, Professor Lindsay Symon—this volume provides a comprehensive view of the ischemic penumbra ranging from neurochemical processes to clinical implications, imaging, and therapy. It contains the first authoritative discussion of the thresholds and duration of the ischemic penumbra documented in various species, with sections that outline cerebral blood flow levels and their effects on important biochemical parameters. The book also supplies an authoritative series of chapters individually focused on current imaging techniques to target the location and extent of the penumbra. It outlines the relevance of the ischemic penumbra to specific therapies, such as extending time windows for therapy, and studies the determination of the presence of penumbra using a novel imaging/clinical mismatch concept, with clinical evidence and validation to date.

Neuroscience Maldynia Multidisciplinary Perspectives on the Illness of Chronic Pain Edited by

James Giordano Center for Neurotechnology Studies, Potomac Institute for Policy Studies, Arlington, Virginia, USA and Human Science Center, Ludwig-Maximilians University, Munich, Germany

Whether initiated by injury or disease, induced and sustained by changes in the nervous system, or manifested by society and culture, chronic pain can change one’s first-person experience of the body and the world, and ultimately impacts cognitions, emotions, and behavior. Many fine medical books address the causes and management of chronic intractable pain, but rarely do they focus on the ways that such pain creates illness and is experienced and expressed by persons in pain. Maldynia: Multidisciplinary Perspectives on the Illness of Chronic Pain is about chronic pain that has progressed to a multidimensional illness state in and of itself. Although often dismissed as such, this pain is not imaginary, but rather represents an interaction of neurobiological processes, emotional and behavioral responses, and socio-cultural effects and reactions that become enduring elements in the life and world of the pain patient, and often remain enigmatic for those who provide care. Taking a comprehensive approach that covers science, humanities, and culture, this volume emphasizes the need for researchers, clinicians, and caregivers to regard the ways in which chronic intractable pain becomes illness and affects a patient’s biological, social, and psychological states, as well as his or her sense of self. Edited by neuroscientist and neuroethicist James Giordano, the book contains 17 insightful chapters representing medicine, neuroscience, psychology, philosophy, ethics, history, art, and the ministry. This exceptional volume also looks at representations of pain in and through the arts, addresses the assignation of values and meaning in pain assessment and treatment, and considers ways to conjoin the sciences and humanities so as to inform the practice of pain medicine and improve the care of those suffering the illness of chronic pain.

Concussive Brain Trauma Neurobehavioral Impairment & Maladaptation, Second Edition Rolland S. Parker New York University School of Medicine, New York, USA

Focusing on a public health problem affecting millions of people of all ages, the second edition of Concussive Brain Trauma: Neurobehavioral Impairment and Maladaptation reflects Dr. Rolland S. Parker's more than 25 years of neuropsychological practice and research in traumatic brain injury and stress, and his prior experience as a clinical psychologist. Unique in its coverage of the personality changes, family dysfunction, and stress that often occur in the wake of concussive brain trauma, this book uses case examples to illustrate persistent and acute alterations of consciousness, as well as cognitive, mood, personality, and social effects of head injury in order to guide appropriate treatment. With six additional chapters, this edition covers: • Post-concussive syndrome, biomechanical causes of trauma, and acute and chronic phases of comorbid brain and somatic injury • The physiological basis for behavior and posttraumatic dysregulation of systems • Disorders related to pain, sensation, and motor activities • Headaches, consciousness, cognition, cerebral personality, and psychodynamic disorders • Developmental effects of children's concussive injury • Blast injuries characteristic of modern war • Unfamiliar signs not included in the usual list of post-concussive symptoms With a firm multi-disciplinary foundation, this book aids the concerned practitioner in rendering a more complete and accurate assessment, recognizing gaps in prior documentation, and conducting a more complete examination to acquire omitted information. It also shows how to achieve the benefit of higher accuracy in assessing disability, planning rehabilitation, and offering compensation. The book stands alone as an in-depth, authoritative guide to closed head injury and traumatic brain injury.
