Περιγραφή

Stroke is one of the most important and most feared conditions known to man. The threat of stroke is important to all people. What could be more devastating than to lose the ability to speak, move a limb, stand, talk, see, read, feel write or even think? This book brings together ideas, events and advances – the stories – before and during the 20th Century through the accounts of global experts in the field, many of them having been first-hand witnesses to progress. Focusing on selected stories of stroke, this book offers a readable summary of the most dramatic and extensive changes in knowledge about stroke and in caring for stroke patients. Of interest to anyone interested in neurosciences and for physicians caring for stroke patients, this book informs on moving forward, by looking to how we got to where we are.

  • Provides a readable digest of the important developments in the care of stroke patients throughout the 20th Century to the present day
  • Written by international leaders in the field of stroke, telling their often contemporary tales of ideas, events and advances that have shaped our current understanding and treatment of stroke
  • Focuses on key individuals who were innovators, movers and shakers who moved the field along, emphasizing ideas and how they have evolved to now
