Rezensionen

"...a highly relevant volume for clinicians and basic scientists alike in the field of cerebral ischemia research and care...I recommend this book to most health science-related libraries, institutions, and individuals with significant interests in the research and treatment of patients with stroke and TBI." - J. Neurosurg. "...contains a plethora of up-to-date and important information on both basic and clinical research. It is worthwhile to recommend as a reference book for the student, scientist and physician who is interested in or involved in the study of mild hypothermia for the treatment of stroke and traumatic brain injury." - Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences "This book is an easily understood 'snap shot' of the current state of knowledge." - Can J Anesth
