Summary

The eighth in this series of Annals volumes brings together clinical and basic science researchers from several disciplines in a common forum to address various approaches to neuroprotection.Topics covered include the following: clinical implications of neuroprotection -- intensive care and comorbidities; anesthesia hazards -- opportunities for neuroprotection; resistance to cell death; nanotechnology; neuroprotection in spinal cord injury; and global brain injury.NOTE: Annals volumes are available for sale as individual books or as a journal.
