This book provides an overview of emerging CSF management systems that filter or clear cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) as a therapeutic approach for several CNS conditions. While the term "liquorpheresis" most accurately refers to extracorporeal procedures that filter CSF (similar to plasmapheresis), this book covers any method based on devices that -either alone or in combination with drugs- can clear CSF or enhance its turnover, which in turn dilutes toxins.The book begins with an overview of CSF anatomy and physiology, followed by a discussion of the role of CSF clearance and flow dysfunction in various CNS conditions. The next section describes the different CSF management systems and procedures that are currently available or under development. The book then reviews the potential applications of these systems for treating subarachnoid hemorrhage, CNS infections, meningeal carcinomatosis, autoimmune encephalitis, polyradiculomyelitis, and neurodegenerativediseases. Finally, a chapter discusses future advances in liquorpheresis systems and applications. This book is intended for clinicians, neuro-researchers, academics, and students who are interested in the development and application of CSF management systems. It is also relevant to the medical device industry, particularly those that develop apheresis and CSF management devices, and the drug-delivery industry.

This comprehensive book addresses the acute emergencies in neuromuscular disease from a novel perspective, focusing on clinical management and treatment of these disorders rather than the more traditional neuropathology, neurogenetics, and neurophysiology approaches. The book fills the gap in guidelines by providing an evidence-based guidance for the clinical adult or pediatric neurologist confronted by an acutely ill patient in a potentially life-threatening situation. The book is structured according to pathophysiological principles, but each chapter is strictly organised around case vignettes that emphasize clinical relevance allowing the non-specialist to access complex scientific backgrounds. The electronic supplementary material and multimedia are provided as an integral tool to facilitate accessibility and understanding of a notoriously difficult field of neurology. Finally, the role of patients, who are increasingly involved in many management decisions, is highlighted in a chapter on ethical issues discussing withholding or withdrawing life-sustaining therapy, patient end-of-life values, wishes and preferences, and on advanced directives. The publication is aimed equally at the non-specialist neurologist in frontline clinical practice confronted by a rare disorder needing immediate management decisions, at the clinical specialist referring for guidance in specific management aspects, and at the specialist researcher keen to maintain clinic relevance.

This book explores connections between music, neural activations and brain plasticity, in order to better understand its associated psychological and physiological effects. The final goal is to focus on the positive effects of music to treat neurological disorders, establishing a new co-ordination between different brain areas to improve both mental illness and wellbeing. A secondary goal is to analyse the role of music at a psycho-sociological level, to understand both the transformation of music into a cultural model and the vision of music as an innate instinct.Music is able to create both emotions and volitional processes. The application of new neuroimaging techniques allows us to explore and evaluate with accuracy what happens in our brain during the creative and artistic performance. A wide range of brain regions are recruited for creative tasks, and music has the opportunity to help in enhance and reset some brain pathological disturbances being also able to ameliorate and restore some rhythmic body activities such as sleep, movement and co-ordination.The book represents a valuable and innovative tool both for neurologists as well as healthcare professionals involved in the management of neurological disorders.

Die Untersuchung beschäftigt sich mit der Notwendigkeit sowie der Entwicklung eines materiell- und verfahrensrechtlichen Konzepts zum Schutz der Testierfreiheit vor Drittbeeinflussung bei insbesondere altersbedingt typischen Gefährdungslagen. Schutzgegenstand bilden (noch) testierfähige Erblasser, welche aufgrund gesundheits- oder situationsbedingter Umstände an gewissen Widerstands- oder Rationalitätsdefiziten leiden und sich daher willensgeschwächt sowie verstärkt suggestibel gegenüber subtilem Beeinflussungsverhalten Dritter zeigen. Der Autor kommt zu dem Ergebnis, dass ein entsprechendes Schutzkonzept de lege lata durch eine richterliche Rechtsfortbildung anhand einer speziellen Abschlusskontrolle nach § 138 Abs. 1 BGB gewährleistet werden kann. Hierfür wird ein Konzept vorgeschlagen, welches sowohl in materieller als auch in prozessualer Hinsicht ein gesamtheitliches bewegliches System des Erblasserautonomieschutzes gewährleistet.

Die Psyche mit dem neuronalen System verschmelzen zu können, ist ein lang angestrebtes Ziel. Wissenschaftler brauchen oft Jahre, um die Hürden auf dem Weg dahin zu begreifen. Ist das unumgänglich? Welche naturwissenschaftlichen Prinzipien liegen dem vorliegenden Modell zugrunde? Kann es ohne mathematischen Formalismus verstanden werden? Wie kann ein simuliertes Modell dieser Zusammenführung von Psyche und Neurologie ¿ nennen wir es das Psi-Organ ¿ aus heutiger Sicht aussehen?Mit Hilfe von Simulationsexperimenten können damit psychologische und soziale Theorien auf naturwissenschaftlicher Basis überprüft werden. Das Modell kann als Grundlage für KI-Systeme dienen, die Menschenleben retten, Energie sparen, für Sicherheit auf Flughäfen sorgen, bei der Pflege älterer Menschen unterstützen und vieles mehr. Dieses Psi-Organ-Modell geht weit über die heutigen, hauptsächlich verhaltensbasierten KI-Systeme hinaus.Das Manuskript ist als Einführung zum Verständnis und der Modellierung des menschlichen Geistes und der künstlichen, humanoiden "Intelligenz" zu verstehen.
