Multiple sclerosis is a chronic and often disabling disease of the
nervous system, affecting about 1 million people worldwide. Even though it has
been known for over a hundred years, no cause or cure has yet been
discovered—but now there is hope. New therapies have been shown to slow the
disease progress in some patients, and the pace of discoveries about the
cellular machinery of the brain and spinal cord has accelerated.
This
book, Spinal Cord Injury examines the future directions for research with the
goal to accelerate the development of cures for spinal cord injuries. While many
of the recommendations are framed within the context of the specific needs
articulated by the New York Spinal Cord Injury Research Board, the Institute of
Medicine’s panel of experts looked very broadly at research priorities relating
to future directions for the field in general and make recommendations to
strengthen and coordinate the existing infrastructure. Funders at federal and
state agencies, academic organizations, pharmaceutical and device companies, and
non-profit organizations will all find this book to be an essential resource as
they examine their opportunities.

This book focuses on
the Traumatic brain injury pathobiology as well as on the recent developments in
advanced diagnostics and acute management. The presented topics encompass
personal experience and visions of the chapter contributors as well as an
extensive analysis of the TBI literature. The book is addressed to a broad
audience of readers from students to practicing clinicians.
Central nervous system diseases,
also known as central nervous system disorders, are a group of neurological
disorders that affect the structure or function of the brain or spinal cord,
which collectively form the central nervous system. This book covers the
following topics: Signs and symptoms of Central nervous system disease, Types of
CNS disorders, Neurodegenerative disorders, Autoimmune disorders, Stroke, Spinal
cord.
The object of
this book is to set forth in practical form, on the basis of the Case System,
certain fundamental facts regarding the symptomatology, diagnosis, treatment and pathological findings in the more
frequent disorders of the nervous system.
