Description
The analysis of the protein content of the Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) is a central tool in the diagnosis of a number of diseases, including
Multiple Sclerosis and Encephalitis. This book is a complete revision of the first edition published 16 years ago and reflects the advances
in the field in that period. Containing the most comprehensive reference list available today with over 1300 references cross-indexed
according to topics, it also includes many classical works that cannot be easily found through the public literature database (like PubMed).
This book covers new areas of research such as the use of the analysis of protein content in the CSF to guide the prognosis of patients
with severe head injury and/or stroke (currently being tested using technology which can be applied at the bedside to yield results within
15 minutes).
With many new or completely revised illustrations, this book serves as not only a reference on the topic, but also a lab
manual for bench work with recipes, and a clinical reference on individual diseases.
Audience
Researchers in biochemistry and neurochemical pathology studying the cerebrospinal fluid at the molecular level.
Contents
