Central Nervous System Trauma: Research Techniques (Membrane Linked Diseases)
$199.95
Central nervous system trauma, whichencompasses stroke, subarachnoid hemorrhage, head injury, and spinal cord injury, is a leading cause of death in developed countries. In the search for underlying mechanisms, membrane involvement has been the common link. This fourth volume in the Membrane-Linked Diseases series is therefore dedicated to research on CNS trauma.Focusing on the mechanism of membrane damage, Central Nervous System Trauma: Research Techniques presents a variety of experimental techniques to study the mechanism of CNS trauma. Animal and tissue culture models provide the bulk of the research findings in this area. Possible pharmacological interventions are analyzed. This volume offers numerous illustrative examples, including full color figures. This book serves as a valuable resource for students and researchers, assisting in the comprehension of current trends in CNS trauma and helping to stimulate the discovery of new research areas.

Prevention of Disabilities Linked to Chronic Diseases (Integration of People with Disabilities)
$25.00
Worldwide diseases have changed to include more chronic conditions, while the majority of current health systems continue to provide treatment and acute care rather than continuity of care. Even more dramatic changes in the health needs of the world population are anticipated, with non-communicable diseases as the leading cause of disability. The present report, drawn up by a Council of Europe Committee of Experts, proposes appropriate means of prevention aimed at reducing disabilities caused by chronic diseases. The setting up of individualised programmes of psycho-social rehabilitation aiming at the full development of the person, and measures to promote the full integration of people with disabilities into society are some of the recommendations made.
