Product Description
Moyamoya disease (MMD) was first reported as a new entity among vascular disorders in 1957. Named for the abnormal vascular networks found around the occluded distal internal carotid artery, it is the most common pediatric cerebrovascular disease in East Asia. In recent years large amounts of data on MMD have been collected and important investigations have been carried out in Japan and Korea, even as the pathophysiology of the disease remains to be discovered. This monograph covers a diversity of topics and presents a systematic compilation of the data and current status of MMD in clinical practice and basic research. With contributions by more than 70 authors, the book includes sections on genetics, computational analysis of hemodynamic shear stress, new imaging techniques, and endovascular treatment of MMD, along with practical applications and future directions for gene and stem cell therapies. For neurosurgeons as well as neurologists and pediatricians, this volume will help lead to more efficient and informed management of MMD. ... Read more

Product Description
Moyamoya, a Japanese word meaning "puffy, hazy, obscure, or vague" describes the smoky appearance of the vascular collateral network this disease has on angiography. Moyamoya was first categorized by Dr. Suzuki in 1969 to describe the abnormal vascular networks at the base of the brain for which this disease is recognized worldwide. Written by the world's leading experts, this is the first text to cover this cerebrovascular occlusive disorder. Initally believed to affect patients primarilly of Japanese descent, it is now clear that moyamoya disease is not restricted certain racial genotypes or localitites. Because the etiology of this disease remains unclear, the diagnosis depends on radiographic findings through angiography, MRI, and MRA. Topics covered include: -Definitions and guidelines -Etiology of moyamoya disease -Angiographic diagnosis and magnetic resonance imaging -Clinical manifestations -Management strategies including: medical therapy, selection of surgical procedures, post-operative evaluation Functional diagnosis using PET, SPECT ...

Product Description

Information on many genetic disorders, and the frequent new findings on them, has been extremely difficult to come by—until now. The “Gale Encyclopedia of Genetic Disorders” addresses the need for current, hard-to-find facts on emerging discoveries. The two-volume Encyclopedia, presented in a single alphabetical sequence, provides clear, complete information on genetic disorders, including conditions, tests, procedures, treatments and therapies, in articles that are both comprehensive and easy to understand, in language accessible to laypersons. The articles are arranged in a standardized format for quick comparison and ease of use, while non-disorder topics are covered in detail with extended entries. Students will want to consult the “Gale Encyclopedia of Genetic Disorders” for useful information on a range of well known disorders, including Down Syndrome, Trisomy, Hemophilia and Tourette Syndrome, and rarely seen diseases such as Meckel Syndrome, Neuraminidase Deficiency and Phenylketonuria.
