Elsevier Thermoregulation Part I: From Basic Neuroscience to Clinical Neurology (Volume 156) (Handbook of Clinical Neurology, Volume 156)

Product Description Thermoregulation, Part I: From Basic Neuroscience to Clinical Neurology, Volume 154, not only reviews how body temperature regulation changes in neurological diseases, but also how this aspect affects the course and outcomes of each disease. Other sections of the volume review three therapeutic approaches that are aimed at manipulating body temperature, including induced hypothermia, induced hyperthermia and antipyretic therapy. The book is comprised of nine sections across two volumes, five dealing with the basic aspects of body temperature regulation and four dealing with the clinical aspects. Basic sections cover the Thermoregulation system, Thermoreceptors, Thermoeffectors, Neural pathways, and Thermoregulation as a homeostatic function. In addition, the book covers the physiology and neuroanatomy of the thermoregulation system and provides descriptions of how the regulation of body temperature intervenes with other physiological functions (such as sleep, osmoregulation, and immunity), stress, exercise and aging. Basic sections serve as an introduction to the four clinical sections: Body Temperature, Clinical Significance, Abnormal Body Temperature, Thermoregulation in Neurological Disease and Therapeutic Interventions. Presents a clear, logical pathway from the fundamental physiology of thermoregulation, through neurobiology, to clinical applications and disease Enables researchers and clinicians to better understand the value of temperature measurement in disease and the use of temperature as a therapy Integrates content from a broad field of research, including topics on the molecular physiology of temperature receptors, to the management of accidental hypothermia Review "…The book excels with comprehensiveness, completeness, adequate width and depth, homogeneity, clarity, and actuality, not to forget the great number of illustrative and helpful figures. It presents a clear, logical pathway from the fundamental physiology of thermoregulation, through neurobiology, to clinical applications and disease. Undoubtedly, it will become a must for physiologists, biologists, neurologists, anesthesiologists and all clinicians whose clinical focus includes temperature control, as e.g. in internal medicine and endocrinology…" ~ Jürgen Werner, Book Review: "Thermoregulation: From Basic Neuroscience to Clinical Neurology, Part 1", in Temperature, Volume 5, Issue 3, 2018.

Review Comprehensive review of basic and clinical research on body temperature regulation in neurological disease From the Back Cover Thermoregulation is comprised of nine sections across two volumes: five dealing with the basic aspects of body temperature regulation and four dealing with the clinical aspects. The basic sections ("Thermoregulation system," "Thermoreceptors," "Thermoeffectors," "Neural pathways," and "Thermoregulation as a homeostatic function") cover the physiology and neuroanatomy of the thermoregulation system and end with descriptions of how the regulation of body temperature intervenes with other physiological functions (such as sleep, osmoregulation, and immunity), stress, exercise, and aging. The basic sections serve as an introduction to the four clinical sections: "Body temperature: clinical significance," "Abnormal body temperature," "Thermoregulation in neurological disease," and "Therapeutic interventions." Of these, the section on neurological diseases is central to this volume. It covers multiple sclerosis, Parkinsons disease, Alzheimers disease, epilepsy, Huntingtons disease, neuropathies, brain and spinal cord trauma, and other common neurological diseases, syndromes, and conditions. Chapters review how body temperature regulation change during these diseases, but also how it affects the course and outcomes of the diseases. The final section of the volume reviews three therapeutic approaches aimed at manipulating body temperature: induced h
