Product Description
These proceedings review and discuss the different aspects ofthe biology of the Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB) and its involvement inthe pathogenesis of brain disorders.The BBB, formed by a complex cellular system of endothelial cells,astroglia, pericytes, perivascular macrophages and a basal membrane,serves as a controlled functional gate to CNS. In vitro andin vivo models have been established to study the cellular andmolecular interaction within the BBB and between the BBB and theneural cells.The structural and functional integrity of the BBB was shown to bedramatically altered during various diseases of the CNS, includingneoplasia, ischemia, trauma, inflammation and bacterial and viralinfections.Two approaches to drug delivery across the BBB have been pursued,based on either modulation of the permeability of the barrier or byconjugation of the drug to substrates of the active transport systemsof the BBB. ...

Product Description
This volume is the definitive clinical text reference on a topic of major concern to anesthesiologists. The opening section, on hemostatic mechanisms, covers such topics as hypercoagulation and thrombotic disorders and pharmacologic manipulation of both hemostasis and coagulation. A section on clinical evaluation of patients with hemostatic dysfunction addresses issues such as perioperative blood loss and medical instrumentation for intraoperative evaluation of hemostasis. A section on transfusion therapy includes chapters on infectious risks of transfusions and complications of transfusion therapy. In a section on alternatives to transfusion therapy, the authors discuss such issues as induced hypotension and blood substitutes. A final section on special concerns covers topics such as perioperative coagulopathy in the specific instances of massive transfusions, cardiac surgery, obstetrics, and neonates. ... Read more

BLOOD: Hemostasis, Transfusion, and Alternatives
K.C. Roberts, M.S., C.P., C.C.A. President, American Board of Clinical Autotransfusion,President/CEO, National Transfusion Services The information contained within this book has been valuable to the surgical transfusion programs I consult with.It offers a wonderful balance of traditional transfusion approaches while also doing an excellant job in describing the autologous alternatives for surgical patients that may require bank blood transfusions.The authors have included a section on the "medicallegal aspects of transfusion therapy," which are and will become more and more a problem for any clinician that transfuses blood components.With FDA regulations escalting there will be more need for such information.The last section titled "Special Concerns" includes some very good selections pertaining to the management of anemia, as well as section on general transfusion management, and the specialties of OB/GYN and "Massive Transfusion."If this book is revised I would like t ...

Product Description
This series of essays deals with the structure and function of the normal blood-brain barrier, examining how barrier functions alter in disease, and how pathological changes may be measured. Topics covered include the role of endothelial cells and glia in barrier breakdown, the barrier in chronic relapsing and in acute experimental allergic encephalomyelitis, and the effects of methylmercury on glucose transport. Additional chapters consider how plasma solutes may or may not cross the blood-brain barrier and investigate the immunological significance of leucocyte-endothelial interactions for such diseases as multiple sclerosis. ...

Product Description
The blood-brain barrier, a concept including all morphological and functional mechanisms that restricts or facilitates the passage of substances from blood to brain, enables the brain environment to be regulated relatively independently from concentration and fluctuations in plasma constituents. The various aspects on the blood-brain barrier have been extensively discussed in a number of recent symposia and our knowledge on the blood-brain barrier physiology has advanced impressively during the last decade. However, as to the pathophysiology and the long-term consequences of a transient or permanent barrier damage, little is known - a fact attributable to the limited amount of interest shown in this area of research until recently. The idea to arrange a Fernstrom symposium on the consequences of barrier damage emerged in 1987, when findings in Barbro Johansson's Laboratory of Experimental Neurology indicated that opening of the blood-brain barrier in various experimental models could lead to permanent neuronal injury. ...
