Now completely revised and updated,Manual of Traumatic Brain Injury:Assessment and Management, Second Editionis a comprehensive evidence-based guide to brain injury diagnosis, treatment, and recovery, delivered in a succinct format designed for targeted access to essential content. This concise text, featuring internationally known contributors drawn from leading TBI programs, is organized into five sections. Part 1 discusses fundamental concepts needed to provide a context for clinical decision-making. Part 2 covers mild TBI, from natural history to sports-related concussion, post-concussion syndrome, and more. Part 3 focuses on moderate to severe TBI and contains chapters on pre-hospital, emergency and ICU care, rehabilitation, community reintegration, management of associated impairments, and post-injury outcomes. Part 4 covers the complications and long-term sequelae that may arise in patients with TBI, including spasticity, movement disorders, posttraumatic seizures, hydrocephalus, behavioral and sleep disturbances, and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE).

New Therapeutics for Traumatic Brain Injury: Prevention of Secondary Brain Damage and Enhancement of Repair and Regeneration explores traumatic brain injury (TBI), a major cause of death and disability throughout the world. The delayed nature of the secondary injury phase suggests that there is a therapeutic window for pharmacological interventions or other approaches to prevent progressive tissue damage and improve functional outcomes. It is now apparent that therapeutic interventions should entail both protective and repair/regeneration strategies depending on the phase of brain injury.

This book describes emerging experimental strategies for the treatment of TBI, including new anti-inflammatory or anti-apoptotic therapeutics that limit brain damage, and novel or repurposed drugs that enhance repair or regeneration of the brain after injury.

• Comprehensive overview of basic approaches and translational development of new therapies for TBI
• Edited by a prominent TBI researcher that includes contributions by leading global researchers in the field
• Presents a great resource for researchers and practitioners to learn more about the many evolving preclinical studies and clinical trials currently underway, and the challenges of bringing translational studies in TBI to the clinic

Dans la matinée du 20 mars 2006, Simon est parti acheter du jambon pour garnir les crêpes prévues au dîner. Alors qu'il était à l'épicerie, il a fait un accident vasculaire dans l'hémisphère droit du cerveau. Trois ans plus tard, sa conjointe Julie et lui-même ont accepté de raconter comment leur vie de couple a été bouleversée par cet événement.
Illustré par de nombreux extraits écrits et complété par un DVD présentant leur témoignage, ce livre décrit certaines séquelles "invisibles" de cette blessure. Il s'adresse aux proches d'une personne atteinte d'une lésion cérébrale droite. Il a été pensé aussi et surtout pour l'entourage de celle-ci. Il intéressera également les thérapeutes et toute personne animée par le souhait de mieux comprendre une réalité souvent cachée.
Dans un langage accessible, cet ouvrage offre des pistes de réflexion ainsi que des moyens concrets pour soutenir ceux qui ont à composer avec un tel défi.

As soldiers and combat veterans have returned from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan traumatic brain injury (TBI) has been identified as the signature injury of those wars. This new edition of Textbook of Traumatic Brain Injury has been thoroughly revised and updated from the 2005 first edition to reflect the exponential expansion of research and clinical data amassed in the intervening years. Each chapter was written and reviewed by the foremost authorities in neuropsychiatry, neurology, rehabilitation medicine, and the other specialties who assess, diagnose, and treat these patients. This textbook addresses epidemiology and pathophysiology; neuropsychiatric disorders; neuropsychiatric symptomatologies; special populations and issues; and treatment. Many of the foremost scholars and clinicians who contributed to the previous edition are back with revisions of their chapters, and the volume also features five new chapters on such timely and critical topics as posttraumatic stress disorder, TBI in the context of war, and epidemiology in military and civilian populations. Textbook of Traumatic Brain Injury has been crafted to be both comprehensive and readable and to serve as a primary resource for clinicians understanding, assessment, and treatment of patients and their families who suffer from TBI.
