Synopsis Brain and Heart Crosstalk by : Hemanshu Prabhakar
This book discusses the underlying mechanisms connecting the brain and heart. The physiology of the brain is such that it is easily affected by any altered physiology of other systems, which in turn may compromise cerebral blood flow and oxygenation. Together, the brain and heart control our body systems, allowing them to function automatically. This interaction between the brain and other systems makes it important for us to understand how any kind of injury to the brain can produce complications in remote organs or systems, such as the heart. The central nervous system is responsible for vegetative function and is central to homeostasis. Further, central nervous system responses are linked to the ongoing function of other organ systems e.g. feeding, thermoregulation, reproduction and muscle activity. It is therefore logical that neural control of the cardiovascular system must also interact with the neural control of other organ systems. This book explains in detail stressed cardiac conditions, discussing the pathophysiology and proposed treatment, and also describing lesser-known crosstalks between the acutely or chronically affected brain and heart.

Synopsis Brain and Organ Communication by : Charu Mahajan
Brain and Organ Communication: Effects of Crosstalk on Neurophysiology examines the intricate relationship between the brain and other organ systems within the body. With an emphasis on homeostasis of these systems, this book also explores how various systems are related and affected by the brain injury or organ damage from a neurophysiological standpoint. This book will be most useful to researchers in neuroscience and graduate students studying neurophysiology. Those with an interest in endocrinology and clinicians in various branches of neuroscience and physiology will also find this book of interest. - Examines cross talk between the brain and major organ systems - Explores multiple organs, including heart, lungs, kidneys, gut, and more - Identifies how this communication affects neurophysiology - Provides management strategies for injuries to the brain and organs

Synopsis Stress (Takotsubo) Cardiomyopathy by : Wei-Ting Chang
Stress cardiomyopathy, also called Takotsubo cardiomyopathy or apical ballooning syndrome, is defined as acute left ventricular dysfunction associated with high stimulation of endogenous or exogenous catecholamine in a critically ill individual. The detailed mechanisms underlying the association between this autonomic storm and myocardial toxicity are comprehensively discussed in this book. According to the diagnostic criteria released by the American Heart Association, the diagnosis of this reversible cardiomyopathy requires: 1) Transient left ventricular wall motion abnormalities involving the apical and/or midventricular myocardial segments with wall motion abnormalities extending beyond a single epicardial coronary artery distribution; 2) the absence of obstructive epicardial coronary artery disease that could be responsible for the observed wall motion abnormality; 3) ECG abnormalities, such as transient ST-segment elevation and/or diffused T wave inversion associated with a slight troponin elevation; and 4) the lack of proven pheochromocytoma and myocarditis. However, the detailed mechanisms through which the autonomic nervous systems regulate the heart and the manner in which their impairment caused adverse effects on cardiovascular function have not yet been well described. Also, increasing evidences indicated that the long term cardiovascular or neurologic impact of stress cardiomyopathy may not be as benign and we thought. Also, there is limited evidence regarding the management. At least recent clinical researches explored whether specific factors explain specific patient susceptibilities to the disease and should be directed towards early identification and stratification at risk. The purpose of this book is to provide an up-to-date review of the clinical presentation of stress cardiomyopathy, discuss possible causal mechanisms, and highlight the recent development of managements. This issue of stress cardiomyopathy comprehensively discussed the crosstalk between the brain and the heart. Experts review the most updated literature regarding clinical profile, imaging modalities, management and infectious or neurologic stress induced cardiomyopathy. The latest information will help medical practitioners in the diagnosis and management of this condition.

Synopsis Nuclear Cardiac Imaging by : Ami E. Iskandrian
Nuclear cardiac imaging is the diagnostic technique of using radiology and chemical markers to track cardiac performance. These imaging studies provide a wide range of information about the heart, including how much the heart contracts, the amount of blood supply to the heart and whether parts of the heart muscle are alive or dead. This is essential information for cardiologists, and nuclear imaging has become an increasingly important part of the cardiologist's armoury of diagnostic techniques. Iskandrian's text has become a leading book in the field and the fourth edition will continue the tradition. The text is updated throughout to reflect the many advances in the field, and, as a new feature, each chapter concludes with a question and answer session on important and difficult clinical issues.

Synopsis Forensic Pathology Reviews Vol 2 by : Michael Tsokos
A collection of cutting-edge reviews of many of the key recent medical and legal advances in forensic science. These critical surveys concentrate on common pathological entities likely to be encountered in daily forensic routine, as well as on specific pathological conditions rarely seen in the autopsy room. Complementing rather than replacing the classic textbooks in forensic pathology, the authors explore new avenues for analyzing the pathology of burned bodies, traumatic brain injury, death by drug abuse, sudden cardiac death, sudden infant death and neonaticide, and fatalities resulting from kicking and trampling. Other areas of interest include accidental autoerotic deaths, hypothermia fatalities, injuries from resuscitation procedures, the interpretation of alcohol levels in different specimens, and the potential forensic differential diagnoses and interpretation of iliopsoas muscle hemorrhage in the light of autopsy.

Synopsis The Angel and the Assassin by : Donna Jackson Nakazawa
A thrilling story of scientific detective work and medical potential that illuminates the newly understood role of microglia—an elusive type of brain cell that is vitally relevant to our everyday lives. “The rarest of books: a combination of page-turning discovery and remarkably readable science journalism.”—Mark Hyman, MD, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Food: What the Heck Should I Eat? NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY WIRED Until recently, microglia were thought to be helpful but rather boring: housekeeper cells in the brain. But a recent groundbreaking discovery has revealed that they connect our physical and mental health in surprising ways. When triggered—and anything that stirs up the immune system in the body can activate microglia, including chronic stressors, trauma, and viral infections—they can contribute to memory problems, anxiety, depression, and Alzheimer’s. Under the right circumstances, however, microglia can be coaxed back into being angelic healers, able to make brain repairs in ways that help alleviate symptoms and hold the promise to one day prevent disease. With the compassion born of her own experience, award-winning journalist Donna Jackson Nakazawa illuminates this newly understood science, following practitioners and patients on the front lines of treatments that help to “reboot” microglia. In at least one case, she witnesses a stunning recovery—and in others, significant relief from pressing symptoms, offering new hope to the tens of millions who suffer from mental, cognitive, and physical health issues. Hailed as a “riveting,” “stunning,” and “visionary,” The Angel and the Assassin offers us a radically reconceived picture of human health and promises to change everything we thought we knew about how to heal ourselves.
