This comprehensive volume will serve as a complete guide to the clinical application of computer assisted systems in monitoring central nervous functions both in the OR and ICU. It presents practical guidelines and therapeutic indications for computerized EEG and Somatosensory Evoked Potential (SSEP) monitoring for the experienced user as well as the novice, leading the newcomer step-by-step to a level of advanced monitoring. Basic procedures and data handling are explained in a user-friendly and practical way.

The book also describes what cerebral monitoring can do and what its limitations are. In addition, proper selection of the available monitoring devices, set-up procedures, the technique of electrode placement, trouble shooting and data interpretation are fully covered. Various typical cases underline how EEG power spectra and evoked potential changes are interpreted, how they are used in the light of other variables being measured how they can serve to get a deeper insight into the underlying clinical situation. In this respect representative and color illustrated examples further emphasize the link between this book and clinical practice.

Mehr als 80?% aller chronischen Erkrankungen sind vermeidbar, wenn der Patient hinreichend darauf hingewiesen und an die Hand genommen wird, dagegen auch selber etwas zu unternehmen. Zellul�ren Organellen, die Mitochondrien, werden durch Umweltgifte und chemische Zusatzstoffe in Nahrungsmitteln beeintr�chtigt und k�nnen durch pr�ventive Ma�nahmen und� Strategien Erkrankungen wie Krebs, Diabetes, Depression, Bluthochdruck, Alzheimer, Parkinson und viele weitere neurodegenerativen Krankheitsformen verhindern helfen.

Der urs�chlich gest�rte Stickoxid-Peroxynitrit-Zyklus (NO/ONOO-) und die daraus entstehenden Effekte auf die mitochondriale Energieproduktion werden� im Detail dargestellt und evidenzbasierte Ergebnisse erl�utert.

Ziel ist, die Bedeutung dieser ver�nderten Vorg�nge in den Mitochondrien bewusst zu machen, das Augenmerk auf die Ursache einer Erkrankung zu richten, sowie das Verst�ndnis f�r alle Mitochondriopathie-bedingten Erkrankungen dem Arzt und seinem Patienten n�her zu bringen.

Finally - a book that covers all aspects of the illicit use of cocaine, amphetamines, ecstasy and/or designer drugs such as GHB, written by two experts in their field. The use of these drugs remains a continuous threat in health and medical care delivery, and this book will be an essential asset to the physician who may have to face the evaluation of patients whose use of these drugs compromises an effective treatment plan for other health issues.

The book has been conceived to fill the void in existing physician reference materials, and provides a comprehensive review of the theoretical knowledge and scope of pharmacotherapy in individuals who are hooked on a psychoactive substance.

While detailed scientific information is obtainable in other major articles, the book''s straightforward format and style, along with its illustrations, will make for easy reading as emphasis is put on information specifically related to drugs that occur most abused in today’s society. The information provided is based on clinical practice rather than pure experimental data, which will give the physician more effective tools useful in their daily practice. Many mechanisms of action of abuse are described in detail and references are provided to direct the reader to further sources for additional information.

As a special feature, the book incorporates uncluttered tables and charts, which result in immediate clarification of the mode of action on the central nervous system and the reason for misuse, thus avoiding usual long and fatiguing text in common reference books. The book aims to give the reader a clear and concise plan on what to do when being faced with an overdose situation.

A well-organized Table of Contents rapidly leads the reader from general pharmacological issues to the specific overdose syndrome and its management. Additionally, significant emphasis is placed on the practical do''s and don’ts for physicians, with special reference to thepredictive signs of aberrant drug-related behavior and the identification of the drug diverter by using urine drug screening.
