Brain Edema: From Molecular Mechanisms to Clinical Practice ()

by Jerome Badaut (Editor), Nikolaus Plesnila (Editor)

“Brain Edema: From Molecular Mechanisms to Clinical Practice” is an extremely informative book, particularly for those interested in understanding the molecular and cellular pathophysiology of brain edema. Edited by Jerome Badaut and Nikolaus Plesnila, this book brings together the most widely recognized experts in experimental and clinical brain edema research to review the current knowledge gathered on brain edema.

The book is timely and discusses several future directions of research and treatment, making it an essential read for all those interested in the subject matter. Brain edema is an integral and acutely life-threatening part of the pathophysiology of multiple cerebral and non-cerebral disorders, including traumatic brain injury, cerebral ischemia, brain tumors, cardiac arrest, altitude sickness and liver failure. It is a condition that affects millions worldwide, and research over the past few years has shown that a plethora of complex molecular and cellular mechanisms contribute to this pathological accumulation of water in the brain parenchyma.

One of the most significant advantages of this book is that it presents a comprehensive understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in edema formation and resolution. It also discusses the specific role of edema development in several pathologies, including traumatic brain injury, stroke, brain tumors, cardiac arrest, and liver failure. The book proposes a new classification of edema based on molecular processes and discusses the clinical management of new clinical trials coming from pre-clinical studies. Additionally, it addresses the possible link between edema formation, other molecular and cellular processes, including inflammation and neuroinflammation.

Another highlight of the book is the authors’ in-depth discussions on how edema develops longitudinally and in real time. They examine this both in pre-clinical models and in patients, providing readers with a new way to understand edema development. Despite intensive research over the past few decades, therapeutic options for edema are still limited and sometimes not effective. This book addresses the current state of research in this area and provides a glimpse into the future of treating brain edema.

The language used in the book is noteworthy as it is in English, making it accessible to a more extensive audience. The book is published by Academic Press and spans 554 pages, providing readers with a breadth of knowledge. Additionally, the Product Dimensions of the book are 1.2 x 6.2 x 9.2 inches, making it highly portable and easy to carry.

Overall, “Brain Edema: From Molecular Mechanisms to Clinical Practice” is an intelligently written, informative book that is beneficial for all those interested in the subject matter. It provides a comprehensive understanding of edema’s molecular mechanisms, discusses future directions of research and treatment options, and examines edema development longitudinally and in real-time. The book also offers possible solutions to this pathological accumulation of water in the brain parenchyma.

If you are a student or a professional in the medical field or have a general interest in encephalon research, this book is a must-read. It offers a wealth of knowledge that is not only informative but also thought-provoking. Reading this book fosters a deeper understanding of the mechanisms and pathophysiology of brain edema, allowing readers to make informed decisions about the treatment options and future research directions. For this reason, I highly recommend it to all. Get your copy today and dive deep into understanding this complex and crucial topic.
