• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The eighth in this series of Annals volumes brings together clinical and basic science researchers from several disciplines in a common forum to address various approaches to neuroprotection. Topics covered include the following: clinical implications of neuroprotection -- intensive care and comorbidities; anesthesia hazards -- opportunities for neuroprotection; resistance to cell death; nanotechnology; neuroprotection in spinal cord injury; and global brain injury. NOTE: Annals volumes are available for sale as individual books or as a journal. For information on institutional journal subscriptions, please visit www.blackwellpublishing.com/nyas. ACADEMY MEMBERS: Please contact the New York Academy of Sciences directly to place your order (www.nyas.org).
