Most strokes are attributed to atherosclerosis of neck and intracranial arteries, brain embolism from the heart, and penetrating artery disease; these are discussed in detail in many other books. This compendium lls an important niche by providing authoritative discussions on the other, less common causes of stroke, including various forms of angiitis, coagulation disorders, infective, paraneoplastic and metabolic disorders that may be associated with stroke, and a number of rare syndromes such as Eales disease and Fabrys disease. This new edition contains detailed, up-to-date information about the nature, diagnosis, and treatment of those relatively uncommon types of cerebrovascular disease that cause strokes. It is therefore a unique scientic and clinical resource that provides a useful reference to help physicians diagnose and treat stroke patients who do not t well into the usual clinical categories. New chapters include stroke in patients with Lyme disease, scleroderma, Cogans syndrome, Chagas disease, and HIV.
Key Features Fully updated, new edition Emphasizes effective diagnosis and management Comprehensive most complete reference on rare forms of cerebrovascular disease

Cognitive Neurorehabilitation
Evidence and Application
2nd Edition
Edited by Donald T. Stuss Gordon Winocur Ian H. Robertson
Trinity College, Dublin This updated edition summarizes the latest developments in cognitive neuroscience related to rehabilitation, reviews the principles of successful interventions and synthesizes new ndings about the rehabilitation of cognitive changes in a variety of populations. With greatly expanded sections on treatment and the role of imaging, it provides a comprehensive reference for those interested in the science, as well as including the most up-to-date information for the practising clinician. It provides clear and practical guidance on why cognitive rehabilitation may or may not work and how to use imaging methods to evaluate the efcacy of interventions; what personal and external factors impact rehabilitation success; how biological and psychopharmacological changes can be understood and treated; how to treat different disorders of language and memory, and where the eld is going in research and clinical application.
Key Features Covers the topics important to cognitive rehabilitation, from basic anatomy and chemistry to methods, and from techniques to pyschosocial considerations Emphasizes evidence-based procedures; a strong emphasis on the scientic approach to rehabilitation Includes updated reviews of the principles underlying successful rehabilitation, the methods and values of imaging, and new rehabilitation methods
