Day, MD, is a board-certified and fellowship-trained neurosurgeon with specific cerebrovascular and skull-base neurosurgery expertise. He specializes in the microsurgical treatment of brain tumors and minimally invasive spinal surgery. Dr. Day is also a professor in the Vivian L. Smith Department of Neurosurgery at McGovern Medical School at UTHealth Houston.Eng H. Lo is a basic neurovascular scientist. He helped develop the neurovascular unit concept (Lo, Nat Rev Neurosci 2003; Tiedt et al, Nat Rev Neurol 2022).

Review of the previous edition: "The book covers the basic gross anatomy with histopathology and etiopathogenesis of different types of strokes. The best aspect is the very well organized elaboration of disease characteristics with pathophysiological changes through to treatment." --© Doody’s Review Service,2021,Ram K Saha, M.D. (Thomas Jefferson University) Score: 92-4 Stars!
