Inflammation and Stroke (Progress in Inflammation Research)

3764365110. Unread Pictorial board hardcover, from closed pharmaceutical company library. 356 pages, index, illustrated with charts, tables and diagrams. Current therapeutic strategies for stroke have been largely unsuccessful. One explanation is that research and pharmacological management have focused on very early events in brain ischemia. New research has shown that brain ischemia and trauma elicit strong inflammatory reactions driven by both external and brain cells. The recognition of inflammation as a fundamental response to brain ischemia provides novel opportunities for new anti-inflammatory therapies. An international body of researchers present the latest findings about cellular and humoral aspects of immune and inflammatory reactions in the brain. The work may have an impact on the treatment of neuroinjuries and ancillary brain diseases, and increase the understanding of the roles infections and immune reactions play in the brain milieu. Contents clean, tight and bright.
