New Trends in Brain Hypoxia Ischemia Research Author : Eetu Hämäläinen Publisher : Nova Publishers Total Pages : 332 Release : 2008 ISBN 10 : 1604561408 ISBN 13 : 9781604561401 Language : EN, FR, DE, ES & NL GET BOOK New Trends in Brain Hypoxia Ischemia Research Book Description: This book presents recent and significant research from around the world dedicated to brain hypoxia-ischemia which is a disorder characterised by a reduction in oxygen supply (hypoxia) combined with reduced blood flow (ischemia) to the brain. This condition may result from a localised obstruction of a cerebral artery or from systemic hypoperfusion. Prolonged hypoxia-ischemia is associated with ischemic attack, transient; brain infarction; brain edema; coma; and other conditions.
