Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Proteomics Methods and Protocols


Free Download Enrique Santamaría, Joaquín Fernández-Irigoyen, "Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Proteomics: Methods and Protocols"
English | 2019 | pages: 554 | ISBN: 149399705X | PDF | 13,0 mb
This volume focuses on protein analysis, including a wide range of the use of mass spectrometry and other protein methods within neurobiological disciplines. Chapters cover topics such as cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) processing and biobanking; label-free quantitative proteomics; SWATH; top-down proteomics; and experimental strategies based on other -omics applied to CSF metabolome, lipidome, and microRNAome. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.

Skull Base Reconstruction Management of Cerebrospinal Fluid Leaks and Skull Base Defects


Free Download Skull Base Reconstruction: Management of Cerebrospinal Fluid Leaks and Skull Base Defects by Edward C. Kuan, Bobby A. Tajudeen, Hamid R. Djalilian, Harrison W. Lin
English | EPUB (True) | 2023 | 486 Pages | ISBN : 3031279360 | 111 MB
This text, edited by two fellowship-trained rhinologists and two fellowship-trained neurotologists, represents an up-to-date comprehensive resource for any clinician or scientist involved in skull base reconstruction. Each chapter is written by a "super specialist" who has a clinical and/or academic focus in skull base pathologies and reconstruction. The first section is dedicated to basic principles, anatomy, physiology, imaging and anesthetic considerations. The second and third sections discuss pathological processes that lead to cerebrospinal fluid leaks and the need for skull base reconstruction within the anterior and lateral skull base, respectively. The fourth and fifth sections focus on anterior and lateral skull base reconstruction, respectively, with attention to reconstruction techniques and strategies for managing each defect type. The sixth section comprehensively reviews postoperative care and management strategies, where there is high variability and limited evidence, and is intended to present multiple perspectives that each carry merit. The final section highlights developments, research and emerging ideas regarding this ever-growing topic.
