The Neuroscience of Pain, Anesthetics and Analgesics examines the syndromes of pain and how they interlink with anesthesia and analgesics. The book covers assessments, screening and resources, and provides applications to related areas of medicine. It explores how the perception of pain results from a multifaceted interaction between illness beliefs, age, gender, time of onset, stress, socioeconomic status, and other factors. In addition, it scrutinizes how the neuroscience of pain in one condition may be relevant to understanding pain observed in other conditions. Sections address the onset of pain, the cause of pain, and the administration of analgesia or anesthesia. The book works to clar...
In this eBook, we have grouped together 16 original contributions which have addressed the translational potential for therapeutics developed on the conceptual framework of the resolution of inflammation. The take home message of our effort, and the efforts of our colleagues who wrote these pieces, is that completely different drugs can be designed and modelled on the mediators and targets of resolution. By implementing this 180° shift in the way we plan the drug development programme (that is by focusing on agonists and/or promoting the actions of pro-resolution agonists) we can offer a fresh approach to the clinical management of chronic diseases that affect the modern society. With this ...
Nrf2, a transcription factor that mediates transcriptional responses to oxidative and xenobiotic stresses, plays a central role in cellular protection against internal or external toxins. Defects in Nrf2 and the relevant regulatory pathways are associated with a number of pathologies including inflammation, respiratory diseases, cardiovascular dysfunctions, metabolic syndrome and diabetes, neurodegeneration, and cancer. This book comprehensively reviews the up-to-date discoveries for the roles of Nrf2 in several human diseases in the context of inflammation. In particular, the molecular mechanisms that mediate the functions of Nrf2 and its interacting network in inflammation and pathogenesis are explicated. In addition, the research and therapeutic applications of Nrf2-targeting compounds in different diseases were summarized. This book is expected to be a valuable reference for worldwide researchers conducting both mechanistic and therapeutic studies of Nrf2 and relevant factors.
Treatments, Mechanisms, and Adverse Reactions of Anesthetics and Analgesics is an essential read for anyone working in pain management. The book addresses the onset of pain, the cause of the pain, and the administration of analgesia or anesthesia. The etiology of pain is complex and multi-factorial, which is made more complex with the use of analgesics and local or general anesthetics. This volume works to clarify all of the subjects pertinent to anesthesia and the brain, from their variety, modes of action, and adverse effects. - Provides a broad range of topics related to the neuroscience of analgesics and anesthetics - Contains chapter abstracts, key facts, a dictionary of terms, and summary points to aid in understanding - Discusses anesthesia types, mechanisms of action and affiliated effects - Helps readers navigate key areas for research and further clinical recommendations
Frontiers in CNS Drug Discovery is a book series devoted to publishing reviews which highlight the latest advances in drug design and discovery for disorders of the central nervous system (CNS). Eminent scientists write contributions on all areas of CNS drug design and drug discovery, including medicinal chemistry, in-silico drug design, combinatorial chemistry, high-throughput screening, drug targets, recent important patents, and structure-activity relationships. The book series is essential reading for all pharmaceutical scientists involved in CNS drug design and discovery who wish to keep abreast of rapid and important developments in the field. The third volume of this series brings reviews on brain tumor treatment, neurodegeneration, hyperalgesia, cholinesterase inhibition and much more.
This eBook is a collection of articles from a Frontiers Research Topic. Frontiers Research Topics are very popular trademarks of the Frontiers Journals Series: they are collections of at least ten articles, all centered on a particular subject. With their unique mix of varied contributions from Original Research to Review Articles, Frontiers Research Topics unify the most influential researchers, the latest key findings and historical advances in a hot research area!
