Textbook of Neuroanaesthesia and Critical Care

Neuroanaesthesia, perhaps more than any other field of anaesthesia has represented an area where the expertise and competence of the anaesthetist can influence patient outcome. Indeed, developments in neurosurgery, neurointensive care and neuroradiology have only been possible due to concomitant advances in neuroanaesthesia. Edited by Basil F, Matta MB

BARR'S The Human Nervous System: An anatomical viewpoint, 9th Edition

John A. Kiernan MB, ChB, PhD, DSc
ProfessorDepartment of Anatomy and Cell BiologyThe University of Western OntarioLondon, Canada
Although Barr's research career was largely concerned with the cytological diagnosis of inherited diseases, he continued to teach neuroanatomy. The first edition of this book, published in 1972, was one of the first medium-sized texts in its field. It was written to make life easier for those approaching neuroscience for the first time, especially medical students and those in the allied health sciences...In this Ninth Edition, the improvement and changing of illustrations has continued, and nearly all are now colored. The text and recommended readings have, of course, also been updated.

Window anatomy for neurosurgical approaches

Laboratory investigation
Object. Knowledge of the cranium projections of the gyral structures is essential to reduce the surgical complications and to perform minimally invasive interventions in daily neurosurgical practice. Thus, in this study the authors aimed to provide detailed information on cranial projections of the eloquent cortical areas.

An Atlas and Practical Guide MULTIDETECTOR CT IN NEUROIMAGING

Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) offers new and exciting opportunities for imaging patients suspected of afflictions of the nervous system...The advantages of MDCT include its ability for routine sub-millimetre scanning of large areas at acceptable radiation doses. The enhanced postprocessing techniques and the rapidity and ease with which they can be obtained
mean that they can be applied with no limitation on throughput or reporting times. Although magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), with its ability to differentiate soft tissues has many applications, computed tomography (CT) remains the appropriate first-line investigation for
most patients with an acute cerebral event and for those who still cannot undergo MR for one reason or another (approximately 1 patient in 5).

Endovascular Techniques in the Management of Cerebrovascular Disease

Edited by Thomas J Masaryk MD Director, Section of Neuroradiology The Imaging Institute;
Center for Cerebrovascular Disease The Neurological Institute The Cleveland Clinic
Preface

In his biography of Cleveland native Harvey Cushing, John Fulton describes the fortuitous series of circumstances that conspired to create the specialty of neurological surgery. The compulsive and competitive Dr Cushing trained as a surgeon under the precise tutelage of William Hallsted. On the recommendation of his friend and mentor, William Osler, Cushing spent the year following completion of his surgical residency traveling Europe. It was then, under the guidance of Professor Theodor Kocher in the laboratory of Professor Hugo Kronecker in Berne, Switzerland, that Cushing described the relationship between intracranial pressure and systemic blood pressure regulated by the vasomotor center in the medulla that would ultimately be known as the ‘Cushing reflex’. Prior to this time, vital signs (and in particular blood pressure) were not routinely charted during surgical procedures. Cushing continued his experiments as he toured Europe, performing studies in dogs in Professor Angelo Mosso’s laboratory in Turin, Italy. While in Italy, Cushing was serendipitously introduced to Scipione Riva-Rocci’s elegantly simple sphygmomanometer, which he promptly recognized as a significant addition to the operating room.
Upon his return home the combination of his compulsive personality, watchful (albeit indirect) management of systemic and intracranial pressure, and career-long obsession with hemostasis
(Cushing developed the silver hemoclip, and, with physicist W Bovie, introduced electrocoagulation) precipitated the beginning of neurosurgical practice.
In 1979, I came to Cushing’s home town as a medical student at the suggestion of my father. A local medical imaging company, Technicare, had just installed their first commercial digital
subtraction angiography system at the Cleveland Clinic. Drs Paul Duscheneau, Mickey Weinstein, and Michael Modic were furiously imaging patients with the new device and publishing papers. The link between imaging and computers was strikingly powerful. . .
my father had me hooked. I was extraordinarily fortunate to continue to benefit from this confluence of technology with the help of Dr Ralph Alfidi and my colleagues Jeff Ross, Paul
Ruggieri, and Mike Modic, and perhaps more importantly the indulgence of my wife, Midge, and our four daughters.
Ingenious innovators such as Serbinenko, Engleson, Guglielmi and others have helped transform imaging from diagnostic adjunct to sophisticated guidance for definitive treatments (in a
fashion analogous to the evolution of neurosurgical management hemostasis and intracranial pressure). Therapeutic devices will continue to develop in parallel with advances in image guided
techniques. Presently, many of these are complimentary to conventional, open, neurosurgical procedures. As some techniques replace surgery, it seems unrealistic for radiologists to presume
that surgeons will either watch idly or that, as imagers, they can remain uninvolved in pre- and post-procedure care and follow-up.
In this respect I have been blessed to work as a true team with Peter, Henry, and David as well as the dedicated nurses and technologists in the angiography suite and the operating room at the Cleveland Clinic. Each contributes a unique and valuable skill set based on their training background; everyone recognizes that as a whole, the team functions better because
of it . . . and (I truly believe) patients do better. In 2003 the group established the second formally credentialed fellowship in Endovascular Surgical Neuroradiology. In our own way, we each felt that a new specialty had arrived. To each and every one, our sincerest thanks.

Carotid Artery Stenting: Current Practice and Techniques, 1st Edition

Editors: Al-Mubarak, Nadim; Roubin, Gary S.; Iyer, Sriram S.; Vitek, Jiri J.
Carotid artery stenting (CAS) is attracting an ever-greater number of vascular specialists from the various disciplines of cardiology, radiology, surgery and neurology. This interest has recently been boosted by the introduction of Anti-Embolization devices and accumulating evidence that support the safety and efficacy of these strategies in minimizing the risk of embolization during the procedure. Particularly important are the recent reports of two randomized trials (CAVATAS and SAPHIRE) that demonstrated favorable outcomes of stenting as compared to the traditional treatment: carotid endarterectomy.

Practical Neuroangiography, 2nd Edition

Authors:P. Pearse Morris MB,Director of Interventional Neuroradiology, Associate Professor of Radiology Wake Forest University School of Medicine
Since the first edition of Practical Neuroangiography was published, the field of endovascular and interventional neuroradiology has seen considerable change. Several phenomena have converged within the discipline with the result that it is more difficult now for trainee neuroradiologists to acquire the levels of neuroangiographic skills and acumen that were considered fundamental not so long ago. Replacement of diagnostic neuroangiography by noninvasive imaging, particularly CTA with 3D reconstruction on computer consoles, has overall been a positive contribution to the quality of patient care.Other factors that have changed the de facto syllabus of a neuroradiology fellowship include the niche interest in some neurointerventional procedures among other specialties.
