tailieunhanh - BRAIN INJURY – PATHOGENESIS, MONITORING, RECOVERY AND MANAGEMENT

Why, then, have scores of drugs, previously found to be effective in animal models, failed clinical trials? The average clinician will answer this question by saying that animal experiments are useless, that they do not reflect the human situation, that they are badly designed and carried out, and so forth. Meetings and committees have even been celebrated to declare this truth, and to teach preclinical neuroscientists how to properly carry out their experiments, see for example the “STAIR” (Stroke Therapy Academic Industry Roundtable) meetings in the US | BRAIN INJURY -PATHOGENESIS MONITORING RECOVERY AND MANAGEMENT Edited by Amit Agrawal Brain Injury - Pathogenesis Monitoring Recovery and Management Edited by Amit Agrawal Published by InTech Janeza Trdine 9 51000 Rijeka Croatia Copyright 2012 InTech All chapters are Open Access distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution license which allows users to download copy and build upon published articles even for commercial purposes as long as the author and publisher are properly credited which ensures maximum dissemination and a wider impact of our publications.
