Kernicterus de David W. McCandless

Kernicterus: Contemporary Clinical Neuroscience

Autor David W. McCandless
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 mar 2014
Kernicterus (bilirubin encephalopathy) is a highly interesting example of metabolic encephalopathy. It fills all the characteristics of a metabolic encephalopathy in that it can develop rapidly, produces signature signs and symptoms, and is amenable to successful treatment. In the absence of treatment kernicterus can produce devastating sequelae and death.The present volume will examine the biochemistry and physiology of bilirubin as well as its hepatic metabolism and renal excretion. Chapters will elaborate bodily disposition of bilirubin and its neuropathology. Both early treatments and current therapy will be discussed in detail. Phototherapy will be presented, and its efficacy and influence on incidence thoroughly examined.

Recenzii

From the reviews:
“Hyperbilirubinemia and the prevention of development of neurological pathology and/ or death due to kernicterus in newborns is a significant concern for physicians and allied healthcare workers worldwide. … Kernicterus is a worthy addition to the clinical neuroscience literature as a treatise on a condition that preferentially attacks critical brain regions. … it should be read widely by clinicians and public health officers confronted by issues related to the early diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of individuals suffering from kernicterus.” (Medical Science Books, May, 2011)

Textul de pe ultima copertă

Kernicterus is an excellent example of a metabolic encephalopathy. It clearly produces a biochemical lesion early when bilirubin first enters the brain. If initial staining can be minimized or reversed, permanent damage can be avoided. This takes strict attention to detail, and a keen ability for timely and accurate diagnosis. The potential for improvement/reversal argues strongly for increased awareness by all health care workers.

Kernicterus will examine the history, biochemistry, physiology, neuropathology, etc., of bilirubin. New concepts of how bilirubin is toxic, and damages the acoustic system will be thoroughly examined. The promising new treatment possibility using gene therapy will be examined in detail. This therapy has been successfully used in the excellent animal model, the Gunn rat. Translation of these exciting results to newborn infants is well underway.
