This book is an absolute must-listen for educators.
Educator fatigue and burnout are at an all-time high. Students are carrying their mental and emotional exhaustion into the classroom.
Intentional Neuroplasticity explores the plasticity of the brain and nervous system, while learning how adversity and trauma impact a student’s developing nervous system to affect behaviors-which ultimately changes the way educators approach discipline and engagement.

English | 2016 | ISBN: 1783340843, 1783342285 | EPUB | pages: 547 | 4.0 mb
Reflecting on the insights gleaned from 15 years’ residence in the Languedoc, Jonathan Miller has produced an A-Z guide to ‘the endless paradoxes of France’. Not only does he reveal that, in the home of liberte, dental hygienists are illegal and it is forbidden to practise shooting zombies, but also that, despite the country’s reputation for haute cuisine, McDonald’s operations in France are said to be the company’s most successful.

Tumors of the Central Nervous System, Volume 2 Gliomas Glioblastoma (Part 2)


Free Download Tumors of the Central Nervous System, Volume 2: Gliomas: Glioblastoma (Part 2) By M.A. Hayat (auth.), M.A. Hayat (eds.)
2011 | 458 Pages | ISBN: 9400706170 | PDF | 14 MB
Advantages and limitations of biomarkers in gliomagenesis are described. Molecular subtypes of gliomas are detailed. The role played by TP53 gene mutation in the deadliest brain tumor, glioblastoma multiforme, is pointed out. The role of mutations of IDH1 and IDH2, and isocitrate dehydrogenases in malignant gliomas are presented. Metabolic differences in different regions of the glioma tumor are clarified. Various types of imaging modalities, including PET and SPECT, to diagnose gliomas in general and glioblastoma in particular in patients are explained in detail. Both low-grade and high-grade gliomas are discussed. Conventional as well as fluorescent-guided resection techniques for high-grade, recurrent malignant gliomas are detailed. Impact of resection extent on outcomes in patients with high-grade gliomas is clarified. The advantage of the use of intraoperative low-field MRI in glioma surgery is explained.

Viral and Fungal Infections of the Central Nervous System


Free Download Viral and Fungal Infections of the Central Nervous System: A Microbiological Perspective
English | 2023 | ISBN: 981996444X | 482 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 31 MB
The first section provides the reader with valuable insights into the aetiologies and underlying pathophysiological mechanisms of neurological diseases, including host responses. It mentions all bacterial, fungal, parasitic, and viral causes of neuro-infections, along with rarer neuropathogenesis such as prions and mycoplasmas. The chapter also presents detailed epidemiology and prevalence of different CNS infections worldwide. It also reviews various infectious diseases that target the nervous system, such as focal lesions, meningitis, and neurological complications of venous sinus thrombosis. The next two sections delve deep into pathogen-specific diseases of the CNS, namely the viruses and fungi associated with neuro-infections. It mentions detailed excerpts on encephalitic viruses, long-term consequences of neurotropic viruses, mycological neuroinfectious, and even the emerging, less talked of viruses and fungi causing neurological disease. Topics such as principles of vigorous antifungal therapy and surgeries are also discussed in the chapter. The fourth section gives an insight on prospects for efficiently diagnosing and managing viral and fungal CNS infections, to tackle associated morbidities.

English | 2023 | ISBN: 3031425944 | 821 Pages | EPUB/PDF (True) | 134 MB
Written and edited by leading international authorities in the field, this book provides an in-depth review of knowledge of the incidental findings of the nervous system, with emphasis on asymptomatic brain and spinal lesions that have the potential to cause illness. It includes very informative chapters, organized into four main groups: first, incidental findings of the brain and cranium, including intracranial, intraventricular and skull base lesions, infarcts and calcification; secondly, incidental findings of the spine and spinal cord, including spinal cord tumors, syringomyelia, arteriovenous malformations and craniovertebral junction anomalies; thirdly, incidental findings of the spinal nerves and peripheral nerves, including tumors of the plexi and peripheral nerves; and fourthly, other lesions, including acquired incidental lesions of the brain and spine as well as the medicolegal and psychiatric aspects related to these lesions.
