Gene Therapy Of The Central Nervous System: From Bench To Bedside
Edited by Michael Kaplitt
Few areas of biomedical research provide greater opportunities for radically new therapies for devastating diseases that have evaded treatment so far than gene therapy. This is particularly true for the brain and nervous system, where gene transfer has become a key technology for basic research and has recently been translated to human therapy in several landmark clinical trials. Gene Therapy of the Central Nervous System: From Bench to Bedside represents the first definitive volume on this subject. Edited by two pioneers of neurological gene therapy, this volume contains contributions by leaders who helped create this field and are expanding the promise of gene therapy for the future of basic and clinical neuroscience. Drawing upon this extensive collective experience, this book provides clear and informative reviews on a variety of subjects of interest to anyone exploring or using gene therapy for neurobiological applications in research and clinical praxis.
Practical Endoscopic Skull Base Surgery
by Dr. Anand and Dr. Schwartz
Drs. Anand and Schwartz have organized a most timely book on endoscopic skull base surgery. This new textbook describes the current trends in endoscopic skull base surgery and the important aspects of this developing field. The editors and a team of expert contributors describe current practice as well as those new procedures that will be the future of treatment of these lesions by a team approach of neurosurgery and otolaryngology.

Doody's Book ReviewsTM rates Intercranial
Arteriovenous Malformations
Weighted numerical score: 97! ... 5 Stars!!
Description
The decrease in operative and endovascular mortality and morbidity associated
with arteriovenous malformations is attributed to the extensive research on
their pathophysiology and hemodynamics. This book concentrates on all the
building blocks necessary for the understanding of the nuances of diagnosis and
treatment of intracranial arteriovenous malformations.
Purpose
The purpose is to summarize the most recent achievements in the diagnosis and
treatment of arteriovenous malformations in the brain. These worthy objectives
are fully met by the authors.
Audience
Neurosurgeons, neurologists, neuroendovascular surgeons, and radiologists are
the main audience for this book.
Features
Over 90 authors contribute the 35 chapters in this book. In a very structured
manner, the authors delve into the anatomy, physiology, clinical presentation,
special problems encountered, current and future treatment modalities.
Impeccable details, representative pictures, and pertinent references populate
the pages of this elegantly presented work. Current controversies and special
problems have a section of their own, which prepares readers for a better grasp
of the last section: future perspectives in treatment and rationale for
combined approaches.
Assessment
This is an excellent appraisal of the current developments in the diagnosis and
treatment of intracranial arteriovenous malformations. It is a must in
neurosurgery, radiology, and neurology libraries.
