    Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. Winner of a HIGHLY COMMENDED AWARD in the Neurology category of the 2012 BMA Medical Book Competition.More than five million people die from stroke each year. Stroke is also the leading cause of adult disability, affecting over 20 million people worldwide, with two-thirds of stroke victims left permanently disabled. We now know that speed of intervention is critical and patient outcomes are determined by a very narrow therapeutic window, during which physicians need to be able to make their choice of treatment rapidly, based on the best evidence available.The purpose of this book is to review that evidence, for both medical and surgical therapies as well as preventative strategies, drawing on the expertise of leading international authorities to distinguish the issues for which there is a consensus on best practice from those for which the evidence remains inconclusive.For example, for patients with acute ischemic stroke the first choice is intravenous thrombolytic therapy, but does a treatment window of 0-3 hours deliver outcomes significantly better than one of 3-4.5 hours? Arterial hypertension is the single most important modifiable risk factor for ischemic stroke, but what are the effects of blood pressure reduction among acute stroke patients? How effective is blood pressure lowering in primary intracerebral hemorrhage? What are the arguments in favour of continuation versus temporary discontinuation of antihypertensive therapy immediately after acute ischemic stroke? Endovascular procedures (carotid angioplasty/stenting) are increasingly important but what do the data tell us about their safety? Or durability? How do they compare with carotid endarterectomy? The management of unruptured intracranial aneurysms is rife with controversies; clip, coil, wait and watch? The authors examine the evidence for and against.Other sections examine the impact of various risk factors, and special populations. A section on stroke after cardiovascular surgeries reviews the incidence and management of stroke following a whole range of procedures. Another examines special risks during pregnancy.Lastly, the book reviews our understanding of childhood stroke and presents current best practice recommendations for this most challenging group of patients. Over five million people die from stroke each year. We now know that speed of intervention is critical and patient outcomes are determined by a very narrow therapeutic window, during which physicians need to be able to make their choice of treatment rapidly, based on the best evidence available. This book intends to review that evidence. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

    Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Reclaim Your Life After Stroke-A Practical Roadmap to Recovery, Confidence & Lasting IndependenceWhat if every small step could bring you closer to speaking with confidence, moving more freely, and living independently again Are you searching for a clear, trustworthy guide to help you or someone you love recover after a stroke without feeling overwhelmed >Imagine waking up after a stroke, unsure of what comes next. Simple tasks suddenly feel difficult, conversations become frustrating, and the future seems uncertain. Yet with the right knowledge, consistent rehabilitation, healthy habits, and encouragement, meaningful progress is possible. This book is designed to help you understand that journey-one practical step at a time.

Recovery often requires medical care, rehabilitation, healthy lifestyle changes, emotional support, and long-term prevention strategies.

This is far more than another general guide-it is a practical, evidence-based roadmap created by a single dedicated author whose mission is to empower readers with reliable knowledge, realistic recovery strategies, and life-changing lifestyle insights that should not be missed. Why This Book Stands Out>The Unique Advantage>Inside, you'll discover: - What stroke really means and why it happens- Early warning signs that should never be ignored- The right emergency response pathway- How the brain adapts during rehabilitation- Practical mobility and physical recovery strategies- Speech rebuilding techniques and communication support- Emotional recovery and confidence rebuilding- Daily living skills for greater independence- Healthy lifestyle habits that support recovery- Ways to reduce the risk of future strokes- Essential guidance for caregivers and families>Whether you're a stroke survivor, caregiver, family member, or simply preparing for the unexpected, this guide offers practical insights that can support informed decisions and greater confidence. Don't wait to take the next step toward recovery. Click Look Inside and discover the practical strategies that many readers overlook but can make a meaningful difference in the recovery journey.

The purpose of this book is to review that evidence, for both medical and surgical therapies as well as preventative strategies, drawing on the expertise of leading international authorities to distinguish the issues for which there is a consensus on best practice from those for which the evidence remains inconclusive. For example, for patients with acute ischemic stroke the first choice is intravenous thrombolytic therapy, but does a treatment window of 0-3 hours deliver outcomes significantly better than one of 3-4.5 hours? Arterial hypertension is the single most important modifiable risk factor for ischemic stroke, but what are the effects of blood pressure reduction among acute stroke patients? How effective is blood pressure lowering in primary intracerebral hemorrhage? What are the arguments in favour of continuation versus temporary discontinuation of anti-hypertensive therapy immediately after acute ischemic stroke? Endovascular procedures (carotid angioplasty/stenting) are increasingly important but what do the data tell us about their safety? Or durability? How do they compare with carotid endarterectomy? The management of unruptured intracranial aneurysms is rife with controversies; clip, coil, wait and watch? The authors examine the evidence for and against. Other sections examine the impact of various risk factors, and special populations. A section on stroke after cardiovascular surgeries reviews the incidence and management of stroke following a whole range of procedures including coronary artery bypass grafting, valve replacement surgery, congenital heart disease treatment, aortic surgery, cardiac transplantation and post-carotid endarterectomy. Another examines special risks during pregnancy. Lastly, the book reviews our understanding of childhood stroke -- perinatal, infants and older children, adolescents and young adults - and presents current best practice recommendations for this most challenging group of patients.…
