Drug delivery by injecting them through arteries poses unique challenges. The first attempts to treat malignant brain tumors by arterial injections were undertaken soon after World War II. Yet, the applications of arterial delivery in treating neurological diseases have not advanced significantly over the last seventy years. Although arterial drug delivery is used to treat several neurological conditions, its applications, other than for localization of brain functions, remain experimental and are unproven in robust scientific studies. Over the last two decades, interventional radiology has significantly advanced by developing catheter-based devices, but arterial drug development has largely been ignored. This book makes the case for arterial drug development. Unless drugs are developed explicitly for arterial injections, the vast potential of arterial treatments of neurological diseases will remain untapped.
This multi-author book brings together experienced researchers and clinicians to investigate various applications of arterial drug delivery for treating neurological diseases. It's an essential resource for various medical subspecialties related to the field and to advance pharmacological and clinical research with this mode of drug delivery.
Shailendra Joshi is an Associate Professor of Anesthesiology at CUMC. He has been involved with arterial drug delivery since 1995 and pioneered many novel concepts.

Dateiformat: PDFKopierschutz: Wasserzeichen-DRM (Digital Rights Management)
Systemvoraussetzungen:
Das Dateiformat PDF zeigt auf jeder Hardware eine Buchseite stets identisch an. Daher ist eine PDF auch für ein komplexes Layout geeignet, wie es bei Lehr- und Fachbüchern verwendet wird (Bilder, Tabellen, Spalten, Fußnoten). Bei kleinen Displays von E-Readern oder Smartphones sind PDF leider eher nervig, weil zu viel Scrollen notwendig ist. Mit Wasserzeichen-DRM wird hier ein „weicher” Kopierschutz verwendet. Daher ist technisch zwar alles möglich – sogar eine unzulässige Weitergabe. Aber an sichtbaren und unsichtbaren Stellen wird der Käufer des E-Books als Wasserzeichen hinterlegt, sodass im Falle eines Missbrauchs die Spur zurückverfolgt werden kann.
