From the reviews:“This book is an excellent review of cerebral hemorrhage, ischemia, and hypoxia as it involves pathology, pathophysiology, and cellular tolerance. It will appeal to a wide variety of investigators in stroke, neurology, and neurosurgery research. I highly recommend it in Neurology Research.” (Joseph J. Grenier, Amazon.com, February, 2014)“In Translational Stroke Research, Lapchak and Zhang have gathered an impressive, and very large, assortment of clinicians and researchers from around the world to offer reports of their studies, new ideas … and directions for future research based mainly on pleotropic and combined therapies. … The authors are to be congratulated on a great effort in furthering the available information and pitfalls in this field and pointing researchers and practitioners in a clinically significant direction. … It makes for fascinating reading!” (Elizabeth A. M. Frost, Journal of Neurosurgical Anesthesiology, Vol. 24 (4), October, 2012)
