Acute Stroke bridges the gap between basic science and patient care protocols.

Features:

• Thoroughly analyzes animal models of SAH, ICH, ischemic stroke, and global cerebral ischemia
• Studies the pathophysiology, medical and surgical management, and prognosis of SAH and ICH
• Reviews the latest clinical trials and outcomes regarding SAH and ICH
• Explores the latest imaging techniques utilized in the care of stroke patients
• Discusses controversies and future research pathways in the field, as well as novel advances in the use of hypothermia and hemicraniectomy as therapeutic
• Modalities for ischemic stroke, telemedicine, ultrasonography, and the concept of brain attack
• Provides a detailed review of ischemic neuroprotection
