Humana New Strategies in Stroke Intervention - Neuroscience Book

Ischemic brain damage remains a primary cause of morbidity and mortality in westernized society, creating a heavy financial burden on healthcare systems worldwide. While many therapies have been attempted, few have proven effective in treating the condition. This specialized text, New Strategies in Stroke Intervention: Ionic Transporters, Pumps, and New Channels, provides a deep look into the biological mechanisms behind these medical challenges. Recent scientific evidence indicates that channels, pumps, and ionic exchangers play a significant role in CNS ischemia and ischemic stroke. While the role of these components is well documented in other pathological conditions, their specific contribution to curing stroke is much less understood. This book analyzes these ionic mechanisms to help researchers and medical professionals understand how they might be used to develop new intervention strategies. It is an essential resource for those studying contemporary neuroscience and seeking to understand the complex cellular processes involved in stroke pathology.
