Book Description

Hardbound. This book presents an integration of recent knowledge of virology, molecular biology and immunology focusing on intractable liver diseases. It reports on mechanisms of liver injury e.g. viral hepatitis, fulminant hepatic failure, autoimmune hepatitis, and hepatocarcinogenesis based on the evidence from both clinical and basic research e.g. genetic diversities or transgenic mice models. It also explains current concepts and new strategies to treat alcoholic liver diseases, interferon resistant hepatitis C virus, liver cirrhosis, fulminant hepatic failure, and hepatocellular carcinoma e.g. new drugs, immunotherapy, gene therapy or living related liver transplantation. The authors are all front runners in current hepatology and give us proper information on each topic. The book will be of interest to all clinicians and basic scientists devoted to hepatology and will be a useful guide to reveal what we can do now and what we should do to treat.

Book Description

Recent advances have carried hepatology to new frontiers. The increasing frequency with which steatotic and cirrhotic livers undergo surgery obliges liver surgeons and hepatologists to understand the molecular mechanisms at play in these situations. Comprehension of the signaling pathways participating in liver regeneration, hepatocellular apoptosis and ischemia/reperfusion injury is essential. This book serves as a source of information to facilitate the reading of the literature and the planning of trials. Translational medicine implies knowledge of the molecular targets of novel therapeutic strategies. It is our goal to stimulate more research that can lead to more exchanges between the laboratory, the clinical ward and the operating room.

Book Description

Busy clinicians need easily accessible information falling into two broad categories: diagnosis and management of patients with particular groups of symptoms; and comprehensive information on defined clinical problems. With this in mind, the Oxford Handbook of Gastroenterology and Hepatology has been structured in a unique way. The first section covers approaches to clinical problems detailing 29 of the most common problems in GI medicine, including infectious disease and gastrointestinal problems in developing countries. A key section of the handbook is a unique A-Z compendium of the specialty which includes information on 100s of topics in gastroenterology, from Abetalipoproteinaemia to Zieve’s syndrome. Colour coded links enable readers to find information in related chapters quickly. Further sections include emergencies, and commonly used drugs used in gastroenterology and hepatology, with emphasis on practice tips and common complications. The result of this new approach is a handbook which is practical and informative, while being a pleasure to use.It is an essential guide to the management of common conditions and will be invaluable to all those involved in the care of patients with gastrointestinal disease.

Book Description

This is one of the first books to deal specifically with diagnostic imaging of the entire spectrum of kidney cancers. Both new and conventional imaging modalities are fully considered. After an introductory chapter on the histopathological classification of kidney cancers, the advantages and disadvantages of the various imaging modalities used in the diagnosis and assessment of disease extension are documented. Subsequent chapters offer an exhaustive description of the radiological features of the different histological subtypes of kidney cancer, with radiological and histological illustrations and tables. The latest innovations in interventional and minimally invasive procedures are also well covered. The book benefits from carefully chosen and technically excellent images. Each of the 24 chapters is written by an internationally acclaimed expert, making this book the most current and complete treatment of the subject available. It should be of great interest to radiologists, oncologists, and urologists.

Book Description

The latest recommendations for diagnosis and management of portal hypertension

This book presents the proceedings from the ‘Baveno IV International Consensus Workshop: Methodology of diagnosis and treatment in portal hypertension’ which was held on April 28-29, 2005 in Baveno, Italy.

These meetings are important to raise awareness of difficulties and defining some key events related to portal hypertension and variceal bleeding. They also help to produce guidelines aimed at improving trials conducted in this field.

Since the Baveno III meeting, new diagnostic tools, new drugs and new treatment strategies for portal hypertension have been developed. Therefore this book updates recommendations for diagnosis and management. It includes up to date evidence from the workshop on pathophysiology, natural history, methods of evaluation and established treatments of portal hypertension.

In addition, this books looks at important emerging topics such as the role of coagulation disturbances, portopulmonary hypertension and the hepatopulmonary syndrome, hepato-renal syndrome, spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, and infections.

This brings clinicians and investigators up to date with current evidence and helps to inform treatment decisions.
