Brain Hypoxia-Ischemia Research Progress (Nova Biomedical)

Brain hypoxia-ischemia is a disorder characterised by a reduction in oxygen supply (hypoxia) combined with reduced blood flow (ischemia) to the brain. This condition may result from a localised obstruction of a cerebral artery or from systemic hypoperfusion. Prolonged hypoxia-ischemia is associated with ischemic attack, transient; brain infarction; brain oedema; coma; and other conditions. This book presents the latest research in this field from around the world.
