Neuroscience Biomarkers and Biosignatures
Author: Institute of Medicine
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309178282
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
Biomarkers, or biological markers, are quantitative measurements that offer researchers and clinicians valuable insight into diagnosis, treatment and prognosis for many disorders and diseases. A major goal in neuroscience medical research is establishing biomarkers for disorders of the nervous system. Given the promising potential and necessity for neuroscience biomarkers, the Institute of Medicine Forum on Neuroscience and Nervous System Disorders convened a public workshop and released the workshop summary entitled Neuroscience Biomarkers and Biosignatures: Converging Technologies, Emerging Partnerships. The workshop brought together experts from multiple areas to discuss the most promising and practical arenas in neuroscience in which biomarkers will have the greatest impact. The main objective of the workshop was to identify and discuss biomarker targets that are not currently being aggressively pursued but that could have the greatest near-term impact on the rate at which new treatments are brought forward for psychiatric and neurological disorders.

Potential Biomarkers in Neurovascular Disorders, volume II
Author: Wen-Jun Tu
Publisher: Frontiers Media SA
ISBN: 2832533027
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 231
Book Description
Neurovascular disorders are a group of pathological conditions resulting from the neurovascular injury. Neurovascular disorders include cerebral ischemia, intracerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, venous sinus thrombosis, glioma, carotid disease, cerebral small vessel disease, and vascular dementia, among others. Although we have accumulated more understanding of both the genetic links and the basic mechanisms behind the pathophysiology of neurovascular diseases over the years, the exact mechanisms are still unclear. Therefore, there is an urgency to identify important therapeutic targets.

Biomarkers for Traumatic Brain Injury
Author: Svetlana Dambinova
Publisher: Royal Society of Chemistry
ISBN: 1849734747
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 247
Book Description
Due to injuries sustained in sports and in combat, interest in TBI has never been greater. Biomarkers for Traumatic Brain Injury will fulfil a gap in our understanding of what is occurring in the brain following injury that can subsequently be detected in biological fluids and imaging. This knowledge will be useful for all researchers and clinicians interested in the biochemical and structural sequelae underpinning clinical manifestations of TBI and help guide appropriate patient management. Current and prospective biomarkers for the assessment of traumatic brain injury (TBI), particularly mild TBI, are examined using a multidisciplinary approach involving biochemistry, molecular biology, and clinical chemistry. The book incorporates presentations from outstanding researchers and clinicians in the area and describes advanced proteomic and degradomic technologies in the development of novel biomarker assays. For practical purposes, the focus of this volume is on detection of blood-based biomarkers to improve diagnostic certainty of mild TBI in conjunction with radiological and clinical findings. It represents contributions from internationally-recognized researchers at the forefront of traumatic brain injury many of whom are recipients of grants and contracts from the United States Department of Defense for research specifically on developing diagnostic tests for TBI. The book will be essential reading for scientists, pharmacologists, chemists, medical and graduate students.

Book Description
Intended for general neurologists as well as specialists in multiple sclerosis (MS) and imaging, this book provides comprehensive discussion of central nervous system (CNS) atrophy involving the brain and spinal cord, and both the chapter authors and topics have been selected to provide state-of-the-art reviews. Key issues covered in the book include pathogenesis and its mechanisms, technical aspects of MRI measurement, the relationship between CNS atrophy and other MRI metrics, clinical relevance, the association with neurobehavioral and genetic-immunologic components of MS, and the effects of disease-modifying therapies on tissue atrophy. Pros and cons of different technical approaches are discussed critically. Special attention is devoted to CNS atrophy as a clinically relevant biologic marker of the MS disease process.
