Neurotrauma Management for the Severely Injured Polytrauma Patient
by James M. Ecklund Leon E. MooresThis text addresses many of the questions which occur when medical professionals of various disciplines interact and have different plans and interventions, each with its own valid scientific and/or experience-based rationale: Questions involving tourniquet placement, ideal fluids and volumes for resuscitation, VTE prophylaxis and many other management considerations. Straightforward decisions in the patient with a single diagnosis often conflict when applied to the neurologically injured polytrauma patients. Neurotrauma Management for the Severely Injured Polytrauma Patient answers as many of these questions as possible based on the current literature, vast experience with severe neurotrauma in the current conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq, and the experience of trauma experts across the globe as well as proposes areas for future study where answers are currently less clear.

The present book will review all recent areas of progress in the study of neurotrophins and their biological roles.
Neurotrophic Factors
by Stephen D SkaperNervous system development evolves from the well-orchestrated processes of neural induction, cell proliferation, differentiation, cell migration, survival, and synapse formation. Among these environmental cues, neurotrophic factors are secreted proteins that promote neurite outgrowth, neuronal cell differentiation and survival both in vivo and in vitro. Nerve growth factor (NGF) is the founding and best characterized member of the neurotrophin family of neurotrophic polypeptides. Neurotrophic Factors: Methods and Protocols presents a selection of protocols and procedures which make use of cellular, tissue, and whole animal models which can be applied to the investigation of neurotrophic factors and other agents impacting on these systems. Chapters cover a wide-range of topics such as dealing with the culture of neurons and glia from the central and peripheral nervous systems, neuron-glia co-culture models, and cell-based assays for the evaluation of neuroprotective molecules, as well as assays which can be applied to the study of agents with neuroregenerative potential. Protocols describing viral- and nanoparticle-based delivery methods to neural cells are also presented, following by chapters dealing with organotypic slice culture protocols. Lastly, several chapters are dedicated to in vivo lesion models of relevance to nervous system pathology, which can be applied to the investigation of neurotrophic factors and peptides. Written in the successful Methods in Molecular BiologyTM series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible protocols, and notes on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and easily accessible, Neurotrophic Factors: Methods and Protocols seeks to serve both professionals and novices alike with its well-honed methodologies in an effort to further our knowledge of what has been described as the last frontier of science.

Neurotrophic Natural Products (Progress in the Chemistry of Organic Natural Products #123)
by A. Douglas Kinghorn Heinz Falk Simon Gibbons Yoshinori Asakawa Ji-Kai Liu Verena M. DirschThis book deals with neurotrophins (NGF, BDNF, NT3, NT4), which can decrease cell death, induce differentiation, as well as sustain the structure and function of neurons. This makes neurotrophins potential therapeutic agents for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders. However, these proteins have so far been ineffective in clinical trials mostly because they cannot pass the blood-brain barrier owing to their high-molecular weights. Consequently, small molecules that mimic neurotrophins and stimulate the synthesis of endogenous neurotrophins or enhance their neurotrophic actions are expected to be promising alternatives. Small-molecule natural products, which have been used in dietary functional foods or in traditional medicine over the course of human history, have potential to be developed as new therapeutic agents against neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease. In this book, the authors introduce a variety of natural products possessing neurotrophic properties such as neurogenesis, neurite outgrowth promotion (neuritogenesis), and neuroprotection and focus on the chemistry and biology of several neurotrophic natural products.
Neurotrophin Protocols
by Robert A. RushIn Neurotrophin Protocols, established leaders in the neurotrophin field detail their special expertise in a wide variety of key protein, RNA, recombinant, and in vivo techniques. The protocols range from immunological analysis for the cellular localization and quantification of the neurotrophins, to genetic manipulation of cells and animals for analysis of biological function, to quantitative analysis of the active neurotrophin genes. There are also radiotracing techniques for studying neurotrophin transport in both the retrograde and anterograde directions, procedures for using immunotoxins to study the effects of eliminating a single class of neurons, and the essential stereological method for estimation of neuronal numbers. Timely and robust, Neurotrophin Protocols provides today's neuroscientists in both academia and industry with a comprehensive range of practical, readily reproducible methods for studying neurotrophins and the critically important effects they have on the nervous system.

Neurovascular Neuropsychology
by Joanne Festa Ronald Lazar J. P. MohrNeurovascular diseases and conditions, and their associated risk factors, represent a significant cause of cognitive disability in the United States and throughout the world. In the USA alone there are 750,000 new strokes each year, representing the number one cause of disability in the country. Hypertension, found in approximately 50 million Americans, has been shown to be associated with alterations of cognitive function, even in the absence of stroke and dementia. Recent studies of neurovascular disease have now revealed that neuropsychological function may be a more sensitive measure of brain integrity than coordination, motor or sensory function and correlates will with functional outcome measures. Neurovascular Neuropsychology focuses on focal and diffuse neurovascular disease in addition to systemic conditions in which cognition and behavior have been uniquely associated with different pathologic states. With an increasing number of patients being treated by healthcare professionals, Neurovascular Neuropsychology will prove to be a strong reference to consult in regards to neuropsychological syndromes.

Neurowetenschappen: Een overzicht
by Ben van CranenburghDit boek geeft een overzicht over het immense gebied van de neurowetenschappen en kan beschouwd worden als een basistekst met een sterk praktische signatuur. Opvattingen over zenuwstelsel en hersenen worden vanuit veel invalshoeken belicht, o.a. vanuit de neuroanatomie, de neurofysiologie, de klinische neurologie, de psychologie en evolutiebiologie. De auteur heeft getracht de werking van het zenuwstelsel op diverse niveaus inzichtelijk te maken: het microniveau (neuron, synaps), het macroniveau (hersengebieden, hemisferen), het mentale niveau (emoties, cognities) en het gedragsniveau (aangepast handelen). Een klassiek fundament van de neurofysiologie, het reflexmodel, wordt in dit boek gerelativeerd en genuanceerd: menselijk gedrag is niet alleen maar reactief, maar kan ook spontaan geïnitieerd zijn. De hersenen verwerken en verwekken informatie. Simplistische ideeën over de hersenen worden ontzenuwd, bijvoorbeeld de lokalisatie van functies in specifieke centra, het misverstand dat functies als creativiteit en muziek in de rechter hemisfeer gelokaliseerd zijn, het idee dat het volwassen brein niet of minder plastisch zou zijn. Alternatieven die meer in overeenstemming zijn met de huidige opvattingen, worden gepresenteerd. Neurowetenschappen, Een overzicht maakt deel uit van een zesdelige serie ‘Toegepaste neurowetenschappen’. In het boek worden voortdurend verbindingen gelegd met diverse toepassingsgebieden. Motoriek wordt losgemaakt van spieren: de hersenen sturen een ‘symphony of movements’. Het belang van zintuiglijke functies bij (het leren van) motorische vaardigheden (sport, muziek, revalidatie) wordt benadrukt, en de plasticiteit van het zenuwstelsel wordt gepresenteerd als biologische basis voor flexibiliteit, adaptatie, ontwikkeling, leren en herstelprocessen. Nieuwe inzichten betreffende de werking van de hersenschors, de lokalisatie van functies in zogenoemde neurale ensembles (connectomen) en hemisfeerspecialisatie kunnen inspireren tot toepassingen op allerlei gebieden. Geregeld komt het ‘mind-body’-probleem aan de orde: de onscheidbaarheid van soma en psyche die in het zenuwstelsel zijn biologische basis heeft, wordt met talrijke voorbeelden toegelicht. Het boek is ook digital beschikbaar met bij elk hoofdstuk vragen en antwoorden en samenvattingen. Met praktische voorbeelden op het gebied van dagelijks leven, kliniek, therapie, sport, muziek en onderwijs heeft de auteur getracht om de grote kloof tussen neurowetenschappen en praktijk te overbruggen en plaatst daarmee de neurowetenschappen midden in het leven. Kortom, een belangwekkend boek voor medici, paramedici en psychologen, en zeer bruikbaar voor diverse opleidingen.
