Clinical Aspects of Microdialysis

This book contains papers presented at the First International Meeting on Clinical Aspects of Microdialysis in Basel, Switzerland. Microdialysis is a minimally invasive method which should have a future as a method for monitoring metabolic changes, e.g. during brain operations and neurosurgical intensive care, for glucose metabolism in diabetic patients, in neonates, etc. The meeting was organised to discuss the important step from experimental to clinical application of this method. It was the first meeting in the field to concentrate mainly on clinical aspects. The contributions represent the latest clinical and experimental findings and should be of great interest to clinicians and scientists.
