"Den torrt tekniska prosan om hjärnans anatomi borde egentligen inte erbjuda någon rafflande läsning, men det var länge sedan jag var så här uppslukad av en populärvetenskaplig bok. /.../ Snarare än att förenkla det komplexa till varje pris är det en bok som bjuder in läsaren till en annan värld."
Erik Isberg, Expressen
"Sjöbergs berättelser försätter läsaren i det där åtråvärda lästillståndet när världen utanför grumlas och såväl tid som rum förefaller mindre avtecknade – inte helt olikt det tillstånd som Sjöberg själv verkar befinna sig i under operationerna."
Johan Bengtsson, Läkartidningen
Vad är vårt jag uppbyggt av? Våra minnen? Och den fria viljan – finns den? Om den finns, kan man med ett kirurgiskt ingrepp operera bort den? Rickard Sjöberg är överläkare och docent i neurokirurgi men också docent i medicinsk psykologi och har därmed en mycket mångsidig och unik form av expertis om hjärnan. I Hjärnan och jaget använder han den för att ta oss med i vindlande och svindlande resonemang kring människans essens. Utifrån operationer av olika delar av hjärnan berättar han om detta ofattbara organ och ställer frågor som får oss att förundras över allt det som människan är – och var i oss det egentligen kan hittas.
Författaren skriver: "Varje operation är ett unikt utsnitt i tiden med en början och ett slut. Den har därmed berättelsens struktur. Alla kirurger dokumenterar också nogsamt så kallade operationsberättelser som återger dessa förlopp. Här kommenteras de praktiska frågorna. Djupare reflektioner kring själsliga funktioner lyser dock ofta med sin frånvaro. Men ibland har det hänt att jag tänkt att det skulle vara roligt att utvidga de här berättelserna så att de kom att omfatta även de existentiella frågorna på ett sätt som skulle kunna vara tillgängligt även för personer som inte är kirurger."

This innovative atlas focuses on peripheral nerves and provides a brand new approach compared to regular anatomy books. Using a modern 3D approach, it offers an alternative to conventional anatomical structures. It reviews all the anatomy and the morphology of these structures from an original point of view. In these three-dimensional diagrams, as well as in the watercolor drawings enhanced with a 3D inlay, each type of nerve is depicted in a minute detail. The atlas simplifies the anatomy and make it easy and understandable by allowing readers to develop a mental “real-time 3D GPS”. The integration of MRI sections related to the drawings and the descriptions of the main nerve injuries provide medical students with a flexible but effective transition to the radiological interpretation and furthers the clinical learning process. After a detailed evaluation of the morphofunctional anatomy of the peripheral nerves, the authors presenta collection of relevant data on neuromuscular transmission, both from classical and recent literature, ranging from the central and peripheral nervous system to the effector muscle. This information offers a basis for understanding the physiology, the pathology, and the repair prospects of peripheral nerves from a purely theoretical point of view.The book is divided into three main parts: - Fundamental notions: from immunohistochemistry to limb innervation- The upper limb: the brachial plexus and related peripheral nerves- The lower limb: the lumbosacral plexus and related peripheral nervesThis atlas also features 261 outstanding full-colour 2D and 3D illustrations. Each picture has been designed in 2D and 3D with a combination of the original editor’s personal drawings/paintings and 3D-modeling tools. This book is a valuable resource for anyone studying medicine, anaesthesiology, neurosurgery, spine surgery, pain, radiology or rheumatology and is also of high interest to the whole medical community in general.

Neurocritical Care is a primer for physicians seeing patients in the neurointensive care unit, with a specific focus on interventions in acute neurologic disorders. Neurocritical care in daily practice involves management of deteriorating patients, treatment of complications, along with end-of-life care assisting families with problematic decisions. A great number of pertinent topics can be found in this case-based book.Written with a conversational tone and using a case-based approach, the emphasis is on how to oversee comparatively common clinical problems emergently. The goal is to provide readily implementable solutions and to challenge the reader with making acute decisions in common patient examples. The brief discussions boil down to the essentials and bare necessities of neurocritical care. This third edition has over twenty new cases with new coverage on contemporary issues. Expansion of previously discussed topics include additional complications in traumatic brain injury and subarachnoid hemorrhage, complications after craniotomy, elusive rapid progressive brain disease, "wake-up stroke" immune checkpoint inhibitor and CAR-T cell therapy complications, complications of LVAD, and early prognostication and communication conundrums. An easy read for new physicians, residents, and medical students, it provides practical advice from the authors' seasoned experiences.

The Lobotomist explores one of the darkest chapters of American medicine: the desperate attempt to treat the hundreds of thousands of psychiatric patients in need of help during the middle decades of the twentieth century. Into this crisis stepped Walter Freeman, M.D., who saw a solution in lobotomy, a brain operation intended to reduce the severity of psychotic symptoms. Drawing on Freeman’s documents and interviews with Freeman's family, Jack El-Hai takes a penetrating look at the life and work of this complex scientific genius.

Neurologists, perhaps more so than any other physicians, take pride in their bedside skills. Good clinical mentorship is mandatory in order to develop such skills; however, due to an ever-increasing need for more efficient working structures, the time and dedication that mentorship requires may not always be available. Neurology at the Bedside was written to fill this gap. Neurology at the Bedside addresses neurology residents looking for a personal clinical mentor. It takes them by the hand and guides them through the whole patient encounter—from an efficient neurological history according to neuroanatomical key features and the bedside examination to differential diagnosis, diagnostic procedures and lastly, the treatment. At each step Neurology at the Bedside points out what is essential and what is not. One of the most innovative areas in medicine, neurology is under rapid development with ever-increasing diagnostic and therapeutic opportunities. This exciting progress called for an update of the text. All chapters are thoroughly revised and reflect the essential state-of-the-art knowledge neurologists need to acquire during their training.

Lars Leksell Neurokirurgen Innovatören Humanisten
Lars Leksell (1907-1986) var en framgångsrik neurokirurg, forskare, professor, innovatör och humanist. Han ägnade en stor del av sitt innehållsrika och idoga liv åt sin profession men hade även ett rikt och spännande privatliv. Som engagerad och framstående medicinare nådde han internationell framgång och berömmelse. I fokus för hans uppmärksamhet låg utvecklandet av nya behandlingsmetoder vid sjukdomar i nervsystemet. Genom detta intresse blev han också en uppfinnare och konstruktör av en rad specialinstrument som används runt om i världen. Hans dröm om den "oblodiga operationen" kom att resultera i den mest kända innovationen - Gammakniven.
"Han var en 1900-talsmänniska. Hos honom möter vi flera av seklets stora förändringsprocesser i liv och tanke," skriver bokens författare. De tecknar Leksells liv och karriär, hans långa och framgångsrika men inte okontroversiella yrkesbana, hans styrka och orädda debattvillighet. Leksell var en stark personlighet och inte rädd att framstå som obekväm. HJÄRNOR OCH HJÄRTAN är ett porträtt i helfigur, en biografi om en människa av kött och blod, med styrkor och svagheter, av motsägelser och engagemang. Leksell var inte enbart en berömd neurokirurg utan också en kulturälskande humanist. Boken är rikt illustrerad.
Åsa och Tommy Bergenheim, båda professor emeritus/emerita, har utifrån sina olika perspektiv tillsammans skildrat en av förra århundradets internationellt sett stora neurokirurger, forskaren och innovatören, professor Lars Leksell. Kombinationen av författarnas historiska och medicinska kompetens ger HJÄRNOR OCH HJÄRTAN en särskild tyngd och gör den samtidigt tillgänglig för en bred läsekrets. Författarna är sedan många år gifta med varandra, har en stor familj och bor i Umeå.

New Therapeutics for Traumatic Brain Injury: Prevention of Secondary Brain Damage and Enhancement of Repair and Regeneration explores traumatic brain injury (TBI), a major cause of death and disability throughout the world. The delayed nature of the secondary injury phase suggests that there is a therapeutic window for pharmacological interventions or other approaches to prevent progressive tissue damage and improve functional outcomes. It is now apparent that therapeutic interventions should entail both protective and repair/regeneration strategies depending on the phase of brain injury.

This book describes emerging experimental strategies for the treatment of TBI, including new anti-inflammatory or anti-apoptotic therapeutics that limit brain damage, and novel or repurposed drugs that enhance repair or regeneration of the brain after injury.
Comprehensive overview of basic approaches and translational development of new therapies for TBI Edited by a prominent TBI researcher that includes contributions by leading global researchers in the field Presents a great resource for researchers and practitioners to learn more about the many evolving preclinical studies and clinical trials currently underway, and the challenges of bringing translational studies in TBI to the clinic

"Den torrt tekniska prosan om hjärnans anatomi borde egentligen inte erbjuda någon rafflande läsning, men det var länge sedan jag var så här uppslukad av en populärvetenskaplig bok. /.../ Snarare än att förenkla det komplexa till varje pris är det en bok som bjuder in läsaren till en annan värld."
Erik Isberg, Expressen
"Sjöbergs berättelser försätter läsaren i det där åtråvärda lästillståndet när världen utanför grumlas och såväl tid som rum förefaller mindre avtecknade – inte helt olikt det tillstånd som Sjöberg själv verkar befinna sig i under operationerna."
Johan Bengtsson, Läkartidningen
Vad är vårt jag uppbyggt av? Våra minnen? Och den fria viljan – finns den? Om den finns, kan man med ett kirurgiskt ingrepp operera bort den? Rickard Sjöberg är överläkare och docent i neurokirurgi men också docent i medicinsk psykologi och har därmed en mycket mångsidig och unik form av expertis om hjärnan. I Hjärnan och jaget använder han den för att ta oss med i vindlande och svindlande resonemang kring människans essens. Utifrån operationer av olika delar av hjärnan berättar han om detta ofattbara organ och ställer frågor som får oss att förundras över allt det som människan är – och var i oss det egentligen kan hittas.
Författaren skriver: "Varje operation är ett unikt utsnitt i tiden med en början och ett slut. Den har därmed berättelsens struktur. Alla kirurger dokumenterar också nogsamt så kallade operationsberättelser som återger dessa förlopp. Här kommenteras de praktiska frågorna. Djupare reflektioner kring själsliga funktioner lyser dock ofta med sin frånvaro. Men ibland har det hänt att jag tänkt att det skulle vara roligt att utvidga de här berättelserna så att de kom att omfatta även de existentiella frågorna på ett sätt som skulle kunna vara tillgängligt även för personer som inte är kirurger."

This innovative atlas focuses on peripheral nerves and provides a brand new approach compared to regular anatomy books. Using a modern 3D approach, it offers an alternative to conventional anatomical structures. It reviews all the anatomy and the morphology of these structures from an original point of view. In these three-dimensional diagrams, as well as in the watercolor drawings enhanced with a 3D inlay, each type of nerve is depicted in a minute detail. The atlas simplifies the anatomy and make it easy and understandable by allowing readers to develop a mental “real-time 3D GPS”. The integration of MRI sections related to the drawings and the descriptions of the main nerve injuries provide medical students with a flexible but effective transition to the radiological interpretation and furthers the clinical learning process. After a detailed evaluation of the morphofunctional anatomy of the peripheral nerves, the authors presenta collection of relevant data on neuromuscular transmission, both from classical and recent literature, ranging from the central and peripheral nervous system to the effector muscle. This information offers a basis for understanding the physiology, the pathology, and the repair prospects of peripheral nerves from a purely theoretical point of view.The book is divided into three main parts: - Fundamental notions: from immunohistochemistry to limb innervation- The upper limb: the brachial plexus and related peripheral nerves- The lower limb: the lumbosacral plexus and related peripheral nervesThis atlas also features 261 outstanding full-colour 2D and 3D illustrations. Each picture has been designed in 2D and 3D with a combination of the original editor’s personal drawings/paintings and 3D-modeling tools. This book is a valuable resource for anyone studying medicine, anaesthesiology, neurosurgery, spine surgery, pain, radiology or rheumatology and is also of high interest to the whole medical community in general.

Neurologists, perhaps more so than any other physicians, take pride in their bedside skills. Good clinical mentorship is mandatory in order to develop such skills; however, due to an ever-increasing need for more efficient working structures, the time and dedication that mentorship requires may not always be available. Neurology at the Bedside was written to fill this gap. Neurology at the Bedside addresses neurology residents looking for a personal clinical mentor. It takes them by the hand and guides them through the whole patient encounter—from an efficient neurological history according to neuroanatomical key features and the bedside examination to differential diagnosis, diagnostic procedures and lastly, the treatment. At each step Neurology at the Bedside points out what is essential and what is not. One of the most innovative areas in medicine, neurology is under rapid development with ever-increasing diagnostic and therapeutic opportunities. This exciting progress called for an update of the text. All chapters are thoroughly revised and reflect the essential state-of-the-art knowledge neurologists need to acquire during their training.

Lars Leksell Neurokirurgen Innovatören Humanisten
Lars Leksell (1907-1986) var en framgångsrik neurokirurg, forskare, professor, innovatör och humanist. Han ägnade en stor del av sitt innehållsrika och idoga liv åt sin profession men hade även ett rikt och spännande privatliv. Som engagerad och framstående medicinare nådde han internationell framgång och berömmelse. I fokus för hans uppmärksamhet låg utvecklandet av nya behandlingsmetoder vid sjukdomar i nervsystemet. Genom detta intresse blev han också en uppfinnare och konstruktör av en rad specialinstrument som används runt om i världen. Hans dröm om den "oblodiga operationen" kom att resultera i den mest kända innovationen - Gammakniven.
"Han var en 1900-talsmänniska. Hos honom möter vi flera av seklets stora förändringsprocesser i liv och tanke," skriver bokens författare. De tecknar Leksells liv och karriär, hans långa och framgångsrika men inte okontroversiella yrkesbana, hans styrka och orädda debattvillighet. Leksell var en stark personlighet och inte rädd att framstå som obekväm. HJÄRNOR OCH HJÄRTAN är ett porträtt i helfigur, en biografi om en människa av kött och blod, med styrkor och svagheter, av motsägelser och engagemang. Leksell var inte enbart en berömd neurokirurg utan också en kulturälskande humanist. Boken är rikt illustrerad.
Åsa och Tommy Bergenheim, båda professor emeritus/emerita, har utifrån sina olika perspektiv tillsammans skildrat en av förra århundradets internationellt sett stora neurokirurger, forskaren och innovatören, professor Lars Leksell. Kombinationen av författarnas historiska och medicinska kompetens ger HJÄRNOR OCH HJÄRTAN en särskild tyngd och gör den samtidigt tillgänglig för en bred läsekrets. Författarna är sedan många år gifta med varandra, har en stor familj och bor i Umeå.

New Therapeutics for Traumatic Brain Injury: Prevention of Secondary Brain Damage and Enhancement of Repair and Regeneration explores traumatic brain injury (TBI), a major cause of death and disability throughout the world. The delayed nature of the secondary injury phase suggests that there is a therapeutic window for pharmacological interventions or other approaches to prevent progressive tissue damage and improve functional outcomes. It is now apparent that therapeutic interventions should entail both protective and repair/regeneration strategies depending on the phase of brain injury.

This book describes emerging experimental strategies for the treatment of TBI, including new anti-inflammatory or anti-apoptotic therapeutics that limit brain damage, and novel or repurposed drugs that enhance repair or regeneration of the brain after injury.
Comprehensive overview of basic approaches and translational development of new therapies for TBI Edited by a prominent TBI researcher that includes contributions by leading global researchers in the field Presents a great resource for researchers and practitioners to learn more about the many evolving preclinical studies and clinical trials currently underway, and the challenges of bringing translational studies in TBI to the clinic
