    Summary: This book provides detailed practical guidance on the management of hemorrhagic stroke in the clinical settings encountered in daily practice. Real-life cases are used to depict a wide range of clinical scenarios and to highlight significant aspects of management of hemorrhagic stroke. In addition, diagnostic and therapeutic protocols are presented and helpful decision-making algorithms are provided that are specific to the different professionals involved in delivery of stroke care and to differing types of hospital facility. The coverage is completed by the inclusion of up-to-date scientific background information relevant to diagnosis and therapy. Throughout, the approach adopted is both practical and multidisciplinary. The book will be of value for all practitioners involved in the provision of stroke care, and also for medical students.

    The effect of an antiepileptic drug, valproic acid (VPA), on an experimental form of epilepsy, the kindling phenomenon, is described. In cat, 50 mg/kg i.p. per day is sufficient to block the progressive establishment of generalized seizures produced normally by repetitive electrical stimulation of the amygdala. However, a focal afterdischarge persists during the entire treatment. Higher doses (75-150 mg/kg) are necessary to protect the animal against the generalized tonic-clonic seizure when the kindling phenomenon is established. These effects and the action of barbiturates, which was also tested, seem to attribute to VPA a complex role in the mechanism of this action.
