This book presents all effective and safe techniques in interstitial hyperthermia and gives examples of applications in areas of clinical interest. Interstitial hyperthermia has been preferentially accepted by oncologists because it can be easily combined with other forms of treatment. One of the pr
<p>A HISTORY OF MALIGNANT HYPERTHERMIA Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is a hereditary disorder of muscle. Undoubtedly, individuals have possessed this trait since time immemorial. However, because the trait is usually only unmasked in the presence of potent inhalational anaesthetic agents or non-depola
<p>Physicians and biologists here present their experimental work in the field of hyperthermia, paying particular regard to its relevance in clinical situations. Principles of heat action and combined treatment modalities are explicated. The main topics discussed are the effects of such treatment on
The effects of global warming on human health factors with special regards to our brain function are still not well understood. There is an urgent need to expand our knowledge on the effects of hot environment on our brain functions in healthy and in diseased populations. It is still unclear whether
<p>Malignant hyperthermia is a genetic disease that causes an extremely high body temperature. The syndrome is triggered by depolarizing muscle relaxants and halogenated gaseous anesthetics, such as halothane. The purpose of the book is to present the latest experimental work and important conclusio
