No detailed description available for "Cerebral vascular spasm".

This book contains the contributions and discussions of the second symposium on vascular smooth muscles held in Ttibingen in February, 1976. It provides an up-to-date review of the role of ions in the trans­ mission of signals from the perivascular space to the contractile ele­ ments of the smooth muscle cells. The various aspects are mainly discussed from a functional point of view and only few contributions concern the morphologic variations of cells .during varying ion activity. Special emphasis was placed on the significance of ion variations in the cerebral tissue and their rela­ tion to metabolic and nervous control of the brain vessels. It could be seen in this symposium that new techniques enabled the in­ vestigators to make considerable progress in the understanding of the actions and the interactions of ions on the membranes and on the inter­ nal structures of the smooth muscle cells if one compares the findings with the results of the previous symposium held in Ttibingen in 1972. It became evident that the insight into ionic actions enables the de­ velopment of powerful tools to be utilized in future therapy of dis­ turbances of local blood flow regulation. The participants of the symposium render thanks to the Dr. Thiemann GmbH in Ltinen, which supported the symposium and this publication in a generous way. Finally it is a pleasure of the Editor to thank the members of the Physiological Institute of Ttibingen for their encouragement in the ar­ rangement of the meeting.

Die Rontgendiagnostik cerebraler und spinaler Erkrankungen - die Neuroradiologie - hat in den letzten Jahren so groBe Fortschritte gezeigt, daB ihr 3 Bande dieses Handbuches zur Verfligung gestellt wurden. Die einzelnen Kapitel umfassen die spezielle Diagnostik der Hirntumoren, der cerebralen GefaB- erkrankungen, des Schadel-Hirn-Traumas, die Diagnostik der Orbita und die Diagnostik des Spinalkanals. Besonderer Wert wurde auf die neueste Untersuchungsmethode, auf die cerebrale Computer- Tomographie, gelegt, die in ihrer Aussagekraft eine flihrende Stelle in der Neuroradiologie ein- nimmt. Eine ausflihrliche Darstellung der angiographischen und luftencephalographischen Technik und der Untersuchungsbefunde bei raumfordernden intracraniellen Prozessen mit diesen Methoden war jedoch auch erforderlich, da die Neuroradiologie nicht nur aus der Computer-Tomographie besteht, die als alleinige Untersuchungsmethode nicht immer ausreicht. Ferner ist es auch he ute noch nicht moglich, daB uberall in der Welt ein CT-Gerat zur Ver- fligung steht.Den Indikationen zu jeder Untersuchung ist in allen Kapiteln ein groBer Raum gewidmet; die Normalbefunde, die Physiologie, Pathophysiologie und die Neuropathologie werden in speziellen Kapiteln abgehandelt. Das Gebiet "Neuroradiologie" ist damit von Spezialisten in allen Abschnitten umfassend dar- gestellt. S. WENDE Preface So much progress has been made in the past years in neuroradiology ~ X-ray investigation of neurological disorders in the cranial and spinal regions ~ that three volumes of this Handbook are now devoted to it.
