The perioperative neuroscience is a specialty that is continuously evolving. This specialty depends on the integration of neuroanesthesiology, neurology, neurointensive care, neuroradiology, neurointeventional radiology and neurosurgery. This book provides in-depth information for the most recent evidence-based advances in perioperative neurosciences. It includes research on postoperative cognitive dysfunctions, the effect of anesthetics on the growing brain, the new theories for the development of cerebral aneurysm and cerebral vasospasm, and many more. A unique feature of the book is the world-renowned authorities in anesthesiology, neurosurgery, neurointensive care, neurology, and neuroradiology and neurointeventional radiology who helped compile it. Consequently, this book will give the reader a unique opportunity to have in-depth coverage for the most recent advances in this very important specialty.

This book presents current research in the biology, diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Topics discussed include breast cancer knowledge, risk factors and screenings; uterine neoplasms; dendritic cell immunotherapy for the treatment of malignant melanoma; role of effectors on hypoxia due to nitric oxide production in human alveolar epithelial cells; complementary and alternative medicine approaches in the treatment of cancer; intrinsic and extrinsic mechanisms of drug resistance and adjuvant chemotherapy for resected colorectal cancer.

This book presents current research in the study of breast cancer. Topics discussed include microRNAs in breast cancer; the role of molecular markers in the diagnosis of breast cancer; breast cancer knowledge and risk factors; immuno-conjugates; multi-drug resistance as a problem challenging breast cancer chemotherapy; signal transduction and metastasis suppression; genetically engineered t-cells for adoptive immunotherapy of breast cancer and marina crystal minerals (MCM) induce apoptosis of human metastatic breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells in vitro.

The anticipation of biological and clinical utility of biomarkers has attracted important interest. Significant molecular biomarkers for cancers have applications for establishing disease predisposition, early detection, cancer staging, therapy selection, identifying whether or not a cancer is metastatic, therapy monitoring, assessing prognosis, and advances in the adjuvant setting. This book presents current research data from across the globe in the study of cancer biomarkers, including oral cancer biomarkers through a cell cycle perspective; molecular markers of infectious agents to detect cancer; protein isoforms; bioinformatics analysis of gene networks involved in genomic stability and cancer; comet assay in human biomonitoring; metabolomics; and immunoelectrophoresis to detect immunoglobins of myeloma patients.

Breast cancer is the most common cause of cancer in women and the second most common cause of cancer death in women in the U.S. While the majority of new breast cancers are diagnosed as a result of an abnormality seen on a mammogram, a lump or change in consistency of the breast tissue can also be a warning sign of the disease. Heightened awareness of breast cancer risk in the past decades has led to an increase in the number of women undergoing mammography for screening, leading to detection of cancers in earlier stages and a resultant improvement in survival rates. Still, breast cancer is the most common cause of death in women between the ages of 45 and 55.This new book presents the latest research in the field.
