Thecollectedbookchaptersareaimedataddressing thismost fundamentalorgan and its blood flow.These papers reflectdetailed descriptions ofsimilar topics presented over a two-day period as part of the 5th International Symposium on Applied Physiology of the Peripheral Circulation held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in June 2000.The symposium and this volume were organized into four distinct groupings that followinalogicalfashion. The initial papers focus on the basic unique physiologyand pathophysiologyof thecerebralcirculation,includingahistorical reviewofthemeans tomeasure cerebral bloodflowand itsimplications of the past 30years.Dr.WalterD.Obristwasone of the original investigators to use radiolabeled markers to assesscerebral blood flow. His equations and initial studies form an impressive introduction to where we are now.Aswith much of the body's specialorgans, the brain too has manycirculatory featuresuniquetoitself.Theseinclude theuniqueblood-brainbarrierfunction ofthe endothelium,localneural regulation control,and intracranial pressure effects.These specialissues,plusgeneticfactorsthat maypredispose individuals todeveloping cere bral aneurysm,make up the initial section ofthe monograph. The brainisunique in itsresponse to ischemia.Sinceneurons containvasoactive neurotransmitters,secondaryvasospasm mayoccur, increasing the zone ofischemia to a greater extent than the original ischemia or traumatic process induced. Furthermore,assessment of neuronal function during ischemia and itspotential for recoveryisproblematic.In this regard,the pioneeringworkbyDrs.Siesjo,Kochanek, and Gjeddehasledtoexcitingnewinsights and potentialdiagnostictools and thera peutic optionsthat shouldhavemeasurableimpacton future care.Genetic controlof the fundamental aspects of neuronal celldeath is described in the works from the StrokeInstituteofthe UniversityofPittsburgh.Dr.Safardevelopsthe impressivehis tory of cerebral resuscitation from temporary global brain ischemia seen in cardiac arrest.Thisdiscussion chronicles the history ofthe SafarCenterforresuscitationand Dr.Safar'sownworkincerebralcardiopulmonaryresuscitationoverthepast40years. These topics logicallylead to the concept of ischemicpenumbra: that portion ofthe brain rendered dysfunctional but not yet irreversibly injured. The chapter by Dr. Hossmanndescribesafundamental aspect ofcerebral ischemia and infarction. Once the processesofblood flowand ischemia/reperfusionare understood,what remain arediagnostic techniquesand therapeuticoptions.Theseissuescomprisethe finaltwosectionsofthebookand givethevolume itsdecidedlyclinicalflavor.Clearly, ifone isto diagnose and treat cerebral ischemia, itisessentialto quantifythe degree ofcerebralischemiaand itsevolution overtime.Otherwise,onlysuperficialinferences VI Preface on theefficacyofclinicaltrialscanbemade.Theseareasareofthe greatestinterest to the practicingphysician,butrequire an understandingofthe fundamental aspects of physiologyand pathophysiologyfrom the preceding sections to putinto context. Measures ofcerebral blood floware problematic.What may be interesting to a perfusionistand one focusing on intravascularpathologymaybe the structuralvas cularchangesinducedbythrombosisorembolism,hemorrhageortrauma. However, functional imaging of neuronal function, tissue oxygenation, and potential for neu ronal recoveryrepresentthe newimaging techniquesavailableto the clinician.These and better methods of structural imaging are described in the third section by the worker who developed thesetechnologies and arepositionedinsuch asequence that theyproceed from structuralto functional imaging. Presently,many largemulticenteredclinicaltrials ofstroke prevention and treat ment have been completed and some new trials proposed. In the final section, we gather the principal investigators for severalof these clinicaltrials. They presentthe resultsforthrombolysis,interventionalneuroradiology,therapeutichypothermia,and revascularization surgery.This isclearlythe bleeding edgeofclinicalstudies on cere bral ischemia management. The clinicalchallengesin cerebral ischemia and stroke research remain the rapid and accurate diagnosis ofischemic injuryinatimely fashion and the institution and titration ofeffectivetherapies.Data presented therein suggestthat different imaging techniquesdescribedifferentaspectsofcerebralischemiaand thateachtechniquehas itsspecificstrengths and weaknesses.Importantly, based on our present-dayknowl edgeofischemicstrokeand itsnaturalhistory,therapiesto reverseischemiaand pre ventsubsequentinjurymaybequite different.Thissuggeststhatcombinationtherapy with differing goals early on and then into active therapy is a realistic option. Regrettably,the largemulticenteredclinicaltrialsdescribed inthis book areallofsin gletherapies.Thougheachhasaclearefficacyinspecificpatients, combinationther apywilllikelyemerge and willbethe most cost-effectiveapproach to treatment.Our challengewillbedefining the specificcombinationorgroupofcombinationsneeded ateachpointinthe treatment regimen andthe diagnostictestsor clinicalframework thatwillidentify thesespecificpatientgroups and theirsubsequentresponse to ther apy.Thischallengeisdaunting,butourunderstandingofthepathophysiologyofcere bral injury is increasing rapidly, our tools not only powerful but becoming more specificand noninvasive,and ourtreatmentoptionsmore process-specific.Thus, we canfeeloptimisticthat morbidityand mortalityfrom ischemicstrokewillcontinueto decline. Potentially, our ease in diagnosis and rapidity of effective treatment of ischemicbrain injury willbecome welldescribedand practicedasisour present-day diagnosis and treatmentforacute myocardial ischemia.
