Experimental Neurosurgery in Animal Models

By Miroslaw Janowski

Experimental Neurosurgery in Animal Models PDF provides a full explanation and technical details to perform surgical techniques properly on small and large animal models. The first six chapters of Experimental Neurosurgery in Animal Models focus primarily on the brain, while the next six chapters concern the spinal cord in rodents. The last four chapters provide a description of operative procedures in large animals. Written for the popular Neuromethods series, chapters include the kind of detail and key implementation advice that ensures successful results in the laboratory.

Authoritative and practical, Experimental Neurosurgery in Animal Models aims to ensure successful results in the further study of this vital field.

Focuses on surgical techniques rather than the diseases modeled by them
Presents in-depth analysis and instruction for the instrumentation
Examines targeted and specific issues for each methodology

The Innate Immune Response to Noninfectious Stressors, Human and Animal Models

By Massimo Amadori

The Innate Immune Response to Non-infectious Stressors: Human and Animal Models PDF highlights fundamental mechanisms of stress response and important findings on how the immune system is affected, and in turn affects such a response. In addition, this book covers the crucial link between stress response and energy metabolism, prompts a re-appraisal of some crucial issues, and helps to define research priorities in this fascinating, somehow elusive field of investigation.

Illustrates the depicted tenets and how to offset them against established models of response to physical and psychotic stressors in both animals and humans
Covers the crucial issue of the immune response to endocrine disruptors
Includes immunological parameters as reporter system of environmental adaptation
Provides many illustrative examples to foster reader understanding

Equine MRI

By Rachel C. Murray

Equine MRI PDF Book is a unique, comprehensive guide to MRI in the horse. Edited by Rachel Murray, a leading authority and researcher in the field with over ten years of equine clinical MRI experience, the book also includes contributions from worldwide experts in the subject.

Divided into the following four sections, the book presents key information based on previous validation work and clinical practice:

Principles of MRI, including the practicalities of image acquisition and interpretation
Normal MRI anatomy and normal variations
Different types of pathological change
Options for clinical management and prognosis for different conditions

MRI is a rapidly expanding area in veterinary medicine that confers detailed, three-dimensional information on both bone and soft tissue. Expanding clinical knowledge, improvements in technology, and practical application of MRI to the standing and recumbent horse means this useful imaging modality has become an integral and essential part of the diagnostic evaluation in lameness and is a realistic option for investigation of ophthalmological, neurological and cranial pathology.

Equine MRI enables readers to understand the best ways to achieve good quality images, and provides a detailed explanation of the problems that may occur.

With close to 950 normal and abnormal images, this book offers considerable detail and examples of both common and uncommon problems, making it a great reference for equine veterinarians, veterinary students, specialists in equine surgery, and specialists in veterinary imaging.
