Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second half of this century has been marked by the evolution of specialities in some branches of medicine, of which gastro-enterology has proved one of the more vigorous and successful. The development of intricate diagnostic and therapeutic techniques has fostered a tendency to overspecialization. In the past decade there has been a move to broaden the outlook. Workers who study the exocrine pancreas, both scientific and clinical, are now concerned not only with the endocrine pancreas but the liver and biliary tract as well because of the close embryological, anatomical and physiological relationships of the pancreas with these organs.

Download or read book IgG4 Related Sclerosing Cholangitis written by Terumi Kamisawa and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-07-31 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to raise awareness of IgG4-related sclerosing cholangitis among practicing physicians and to equip readers with a sound understanding of the principles of diagnosis and treatment. Clinical, serological, and histopathological features are clearly described and imaging appearances on all relevant modalities are illustrated, covering the bile duct and other involved organs. Differential diagnosis from other diseases, including primary sclerosing cholangitis and cholangiocarcinoma, is precisely explained. Information is then presented on all significant current and emerging therapeutic strategies, including steroids, immunosuppressive drugs, and rituximab. Finally, attention is drawn to significant prognostic features. While IgG4-related sclerosing cholangitis is now a widely acknowledged condition, most practitioners are still liable to misdiagnose it owing to a lack of familiarity with its presenting features. This book should help to rectify the situation and will be an asset for all who may encounter the disease in clinical practice.

Download or read book Clinical Pancreatology for Practising Gastroenterologists and Surgeons written by Juan Enrique Dominguez-Munoz and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2021-03-17 with total page 752 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clinical Pancreatology Since the book Clinical Pancreatology for Practising Gastroenterologists and Surgeons was first published sixteen years ago, the knowledge and clinical management of pancreatic diseases have developed markedly. Thanks to the development of the translational research and the from bench to bedside concept, much progress from the lab has been applied to clinical practice. In addition, several highly relevant clinical trials published over the last years have resulted in the update and optimisation of clinical guidelines. A new and validated classification of severity and complications of acute pancreatitis is firmly rooted in clinical practice and has been the basis for the development of minimally invasive approaches to pancreatic necrosis. The etiopathogenic knowledge of chronic pancreatitis and other pancreatopaties, like that associated with diabetes mellitus, has developed significantly. Especially important has been the development of the field of cystic pancreatic tumours, which has been reflected in the publication of several guidelines and consensus reports over the last few years. Most research efforts have focused on pancreatic cancer, which have led and will further lead to a significant increase in the therapeutic armamentarium against this devastating disease. Finally, many newly published studies have changed the concept, causes, clinical relevance, diagnosis and treatment of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. This new edition of Clinical Pancreatology for Practising Gastroenterologists and Surgeons has enjoyed the collaboration of the world’s leading experts in each of the areas of clinical pancreatology with the aim of facilitating gastroenterologists, surgeons, oncologists, internists, nutritionists, diabetologists, paediatricians, radiologists, pathologists and other specialists in their decision making when facing patients with pancreatic diseases in their daily clinical practice. All in all, this book supplies an indispensable update of the relevant aspects of clinical pancreatology.

This book was released on 2020-08-31 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acute pancreatitis (AP) is one of the most common disorders of the gastrointestinal tract to result in hospitalization. Although most patients with AP will experience an uneventful disease course, those that develop moderate-to-severe AP can be challenging to manage. Rapid recognition, accurate diagnosis and prediction of severity, together with appropriate treatment, are therefore key in achieving the best outcomes for patients and for preventing subsequent episodes of AP. Written by two pancreatologists with extensive experience of managing patients with AP as well as in clinical research, 'Fast Facts: Acute and Recurrent Pancreatitis' provides a comprehensive, evidence-based guide to: - The pathophysiology and etiology of AP - Fundamentals of diagnosis - Predicting the likely severity of an episode of AP - Monitoring and managing complications in the early and later stages of disease - Preventing recurrence This book will be of interest to all those who may be involved in the care of patients with AP, including internal medicine specialists, gastroenterologists, intensive care specialists, surgeons and endoscopists. Contents: • Pathophysiology • Epidemiology and etiology • Diagnosis • Prognosis • Definitions for complications and severity classification • Early management • Management of symptomatic collections • Management of other local complications • Preventing recurrence and monitoring for late complications after acute pancreatitis

Download or read book Schein s Common Sense Emergency Abdominal Surgery written by Moshe Schein and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ix Preface Smart surgeons learn from their own mistakes, smarter surgeons learn from mistakes of others, some never learn . . . You are a resident, overworked and constantly tired; sitting down with your mentor for a brief tutorial. What do you want to get out of these few minutes? To organize your thoughts and approaches to the particular problem; to learn how he -the weathered surgeon -"tackles it"; to grasp a few practical "recipes" or "goodies" and take home a message or two; to laugh a bit and unwind. This is also our goal in this book. We hope that you are not repelled or offended by the non-formal character of this book. This is how emergency abdominal surgery is taught best, by trial and error and repetitions, with emphasis on basics. This is not a "complete" textbook, nor is it a cookbook type manual or discussion of case studies; neither is it a collection of detailed lecture notes or exhaustive lists. Instead, it consists of a series of informal, uncensored, chats between experienced surgeons and their trainees. No percentages, series, elaborated figures or complicated algorithms are included; only a surgeon's narrative, explaining how "he does it" -based on his experience and state of the art knowledge of the literature. No references are included as it was our aim to put down nothing which has not been experienced, confirmed and practiced in our own hands.
