Book Description
With the first coronary balloon angioplasty in 1977 came the challenge of the wound healing process of restenosis. Together these events spawned a new field of medicine, vascular brachytherapy, conceived to resolve this leading complication of vascular intervention. In the ensuing 20 year quest for a cure to restenosis, radiation vascular therapy appears to be the next logical step, but it still needs validation.

The new Vascular Brachytherapy, 3rd Edition continues to provide a comprehensive, engaging picture of this rapidly expanding and evolving field.

This collaborative effort contains 61 new or revised chapters by renowned experts from a vast range of medical fields, with over one-third more material than previous editions. Scientists, cardiologists, radiation oncologists, radiobiologists, pathologists, vascular surgeons, radiation safety officers, regulators, engineers, and technicians each take turns presenting carefully considered investigations and observations, supplemented with clinical and nonclinical data, basic radiation principles, and issues from an economic, regulatory, and safety perspective.

For an audience of clinicians, scientists and researchers from all the represented medical disciplines, this book provides in-depth information and exposure to subjects within these diverse areas of expertise. ... Read more

Book Description
Vascular dementia (VAD) accounts for one-third of all dementias in today''s aging population, second only to Alzheimer's disease (DAT). Fortunately, current imaging techniques allow clinicians to view specific lesions in the brain, classify them by etiology and anatomical location, and assess changes using serial imaging, while at the same time correlating those changes with signs and symptoms of VAD or DAT. In 17 chapters, this book summarizes new concepts concerning the epidemiology, etiology, risk factors, neuropathology and pathogenesis of VAD and DAT, and mixtures of the two, and reviews their multiple causes, including microvascular and hemorrhagic lesions, and ischemic and inflammatory changes affecting both white and gray matter. ...
