In this book, an international group of investigators from a broad
array of clinical and basic disciplines present the ideas and
concepts in the foreground of cerebrovascular disease. Included in
their discussion are perspectives on topics that continue to guide
current investigations, such as white matter injury, newer imaging
approaches, delayed neuronal death, and recovery after stroke, as
well as continuing disagreements on the value of heparin or MRI
endpoints in the management of stroke patients.
Further topics include a proposal for a major multicenter
re-study of the utility of extracranial-intracranial bypass surgery
in light of additional diagnostic information available through PET
scanning; examination of how processes such as apoptosis,
inflammation, free radicals, poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase
activation, and alterations in glutamate receptor function
contribute to the pathogenesis of ischemic brain injury; and
finally an exploration of how estrogens or cholesterol-lowering
agents might be used therapeutically.
with stroke or who are involved in its diagnosis and treatment as
it offers the most up-to-date review of the scientific basis for
the decision process. The book cannot be compared to any other book
in the field as it is the compilation of papers delivered at a
conference where a broad range of clinical and basic science topics
are covered. This, like all editions of the Princetion Conference
Proceedings, should be cherished."
