This book addresses the complexities and complications associated with CSF shunting procedures used in the treatment of hydrocephalus, focusing on strategies for prevention, identification, and clinical management.
This clinical article determines the benefit of combining the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) scores and pupil responses into a simple arithmetic index called the GCS-Pupils score (GCS-P). Analyzing large pooled data sets, the GCS-P (range 1–15) was found to extend prognostic information and accurately predict patient outcome and mortality in traumatic brain injury with performance comparable to more complex methods.
A comprehensive handbook covering cerebrovascular disease and neurointerventional techniques. The Third Edition includes significant updates, dedicating a new chapter to intracerebral hemorrhage and featuring educational highlights ('Kids Korners!').
This book follows the curriculum of the EUROSPINE basic and advanced diploma courses, utilizing a purely case-based approach. Each case illustrates concepts surrounding the treatment of spinal pathologies, including the uncertainties and problems in decision-making, offering guidance on accepted mainstream treatments and providing updated literature and evidence on the topic.
This book focuses on the challenging treatment of Gliomas, emphasizing the necessary multidisciplinary clinical effort incorporating the expertise of dedicated neurosurgeons, neuro-oncologists, radiation oncologists, neuropathologists, and radiologists to provide advanced care options.
A comprehensive medical textbook providing authoritative coverage of spinal health, diagnosis, and treatment in orthopaedic surgery and neurosurgery, building upon the established foundation of Rothman, Simeone, and Herkowitz's work.
A detailed review of the physiology, pathogenesis, and etiology of hydrocephalus in children, focusing on the accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leading to ventricular dilation and increased intracranial pressure (ICP). The text defines and distinguishes between obstructive (noncommunicating) and communicating hydrocephalus.
A comprehensive surgical guide detailing the minimally invasive endoscopic techniques used for the correction and management of craniosynostosis in infants, focusing on illustrated procedural steps and pre- and post-operative care.

A comprehensive manual dedicated to providing guidance and essential information for professionals involved in pediatric cardiac care, presented as Volume II of the second edition.
This book provides a detailed analysis of Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST). It examines the debate surrounding stretching, covering both negative and positive research outcomes, and introduces new definitions like flexibility and tensegrity. Key topics include the biomechanical effects of stretching on cells and proprioceptors, and the fundamental ten principles of the FST assessment and treatment model, such as synchronizing breathing with movement.
A comprehensive guide detailing the principles and applications of CAD/CAM technology in dentistry. The book covers the history of dental CAD/CAM, digital scanning, optimizing tooth preparations, material selection, manufacturing processes (milling and 3D printing), various digital workflows, integration with CBCT, same-day dentistry, and specific applications across fixed restorations, implants, digital dentures, and orthodontics.
A detailed analysis of the biological and clinical impact stemming from the characteristics and surface features of implants, covering relevant biomaterials and prosthodontics principles.
A comprehensive guide covering the fundamentals of eye care, including the physiology of vision, optics, pharmacology, examination techniques, management of visual impairment, patient education, and specific care protocols for adult and pediatric ophthalmic patients.
