商品描述

Mild traumatic brain injury, also known as chronic traumatic encephalopathy, presents a crisis in contact sports, the military, and elsewhere. This book reviews current understanding of mTBI, methods of diagnosis, treatment, policy concerns, and emerging technologies. This book details the neurophysiology, epidemiology of brain injuries by presenting disease models and descriptions of nucleating events. This book characterizes sensors, imagers, and related diagnostic measures used for evaluating and identifying brain injuries and relates emerging bioinformatics analysis with mTBI markers. The book ggoes on to discuss issues with sports medicine and military issues, it covers therapeutic strategies, surgeries, and future developments and finally addresses drug trials and candidates for therapy. The broad coverage and accessible discussions will appeal to professional in diverse fields related to mTBI, students of neurology, medicine, and biology, as well as policy makers and lay persons interested in this hot topic.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

輕度創傷性腦損傷(mTBI),也被稱為慢性創傷性腦病,對於接觸性運動、軍事及其他領域來說,構成了一個危機。本書回顧了對mTBI的當前理解、診斷方法、治療、政策問題以及新興技術。本書詳細介紹了神經生理學、腦損傷的流行病學,通過呈現疾病模型和事件描述來進行說明。本書描述了用於評估和識別腦損傷的傳感器、成像設備及相關診斷措施,並將新興的生物信息學分析與mTBI標記相關聯。本書接著討論了運動醫學和軍事相關問題,涵蓋了治療策略、手術及未來發展,最後探討了藥物試驗和治療候選者。廣泛的內容和易於理解的討論將吸引與mTBI相關的各個領域的專業人士、神經學、醫學和生物學的學生,以及對這一熱門話題感興趣的政策制定者和普通讀者。

作者簡介

Dr. Mark Mentzer received his PhD in Electrical Engineering from thr University of Delaware. He is a former research scientist at the US Army Research Laboratory where he studied mild traumatic brain injury and developed early-detection brain injury helmet sensors. He is a certified test director and contracting officer representative. He possesses two Level-III Defense Acquisition University Certifications in Science and Technology Manager and in Test and Evaluation. During his career, he developed a wide range of sensors and instrumentation as well as biochemical processes to assess brain trauma. Mentzer currently teaches high school mathematics and physics at the Salisbury School, college math at the Virginia Eastern Shore Community College, and online graduate systems engineering and computer science courses for University of Maryland University College.

作者簡介(中文翻譯)

馬克·門策博士(Dr. Mark Mentzer)在德拉瓦大學(University of Delaware)獲得電機工程博士學位。他曾是美國陸軍研究實驗室(US Army Research Laboratory)的研究科學家,專注於輕度創傷性腦損傷的研究,並開發了早期檢測腦損傷的頭盔感測器。他是一名認證的測試主任和合約官代表,擁有兩項國防採購大學(Defense Acquisition University)三級認證,分別為科學與技術經理(Science and Technology Manager)及測試與評估(Test and Evaluation)。在他的職業生涯中,他開發了各種感測器和儀器,以及生化過程來評估腦部創傷。門策目前在索爾茲伯里學校(Salisbury School)教授高中數學和物理,並在維吉尼亞東岸社區學院(Virginia Eastern Shore Community College)教授大學數學,還為馬里蘭大學大學學院(University of Maryland University College)提供線上研究生系統工程和計算機科學課程。
