Nitric Oxide Synthase Inhibitors and Cerebral Vasospasm
l -arginine is a source of nitric oxide (NO) that is cleaved from the terminal guanidino nitrogen atom by nitric oxide synthase (NOS). NO evokes, because of its free radical properties and affinity to heme, ferrous iron and cysteine, a wide spectrum of ph

Preface
On October 9–11, 2009, the Tenth International Conference on Cerebral Vasospasm was held for the first time in Chongqing, China. Literally translated to mean ‘‘double happiness’’, Chongqing was the perfect venue to host members of the community from all over the world to witness and participate in such a historic event. Just like the city’s meaning would have you to believe, the conference was a joyous time for both the Chinese neurosurgery researchers who organized this well established conference and the vasospasm researchers from other countries who were delighted to have a meeting on a tour boat called the Misty Star. For many, being on a ship was a new experience, while for others, it was a time to soak in the beauty of China. The conference catered to more than 90 researchers from various countries around the world, presenting over 90 articles ranging from clinical trials to molecular biology experiments. This was all done while enjoying a cruise down the largest river in China, the Yangtze River, and experiencing the greatness of China’s historic hydroelectric dams, the Three Gorges and the Three Little Gorges. The meeting focused on subarachnoid hemorrhage r
