Download or read book Radiology of the small intestine written by Pierre Bret and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-12-11 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a tradition behind the current radiologic examination of the small bowel. Many of the great names in gastrointestinal radiology have established their reputations on the basis of their work in the small bowel. This is an area which is assuming ever greater importance for radiologists as its mucosal surface continues to elude the endos copist. Moreover, it is an aspect of radiology which calls for the greatest technical and interpretative skill. It is a great pleasure to welcome the English language version of this beautiful work on Radiology of the Small Intestine. English speaking physicians are frequently not as familiar with the large body of work published in French as they should be. Tant pis ! Dr. Bret and his co-workers have been pioneers in the pursuit of excellence in gastrointestinal radiology. During all the years that I have been involved in this field, I have admired their work.

Download or read book Radiological Atlas of Common Diseases of the Small Bowel written by J.L. Sellink and published by Springer. This book was released on 1976-02-29 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: VI J. R. VON RONNEN PREFACE This atlas is a selection of the roentgenograms of patients who visited the Radiology Department at the University Hospital in Leiden between 1970 and 1974. The heads of this department are Prof. J. R. von Ronnen and Prof. A. E. van Voorthuisen. In this atlas, the most frequently occurring radiological abnormalities of the small intestine are illustrated as clearly as possible - without the shadows caused by flocculation or segmentation of the contrast fluid. The author hopes it will be a positive contribution towards the attainment of the highest possible diagnostic score. It should be remembered that the key to good diagnostics is not only a perfect examination technique, but also the knowledge and character of the physician. If these factors are optimal, then the best possible series of roentgenograms will be obtained, at least as far as technique is concerned. All patients were examined by the enteroclysis technique. With this method of examination of the small intestine, the contrast fluid is administered via an infusion directly into the duodenum instead of orally. The infusion method has added a new dimension to the radiological examination of the small intestine. This method has turned out to be especially suitable for the comparative evaluation of motility, and also for the study of disturbed motility.

Download or read book Historical Aspects of Pediatric Surgery written by P. P. Rickham and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 483 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At first sight it may appear strange that a volume of Progress in Pediatric Surgery should be devoted to the history of our specialty. One assumes that progress is concerned primarily with recent developments whilst history deals with matters of the past. However, in the past there has also been considerable progress in the development of our understand ing of paediatric surgical problems, otherwise we would not have pro gressed to our present achievements. The editors, therefore, do not apologize for compiling this volume but, on the contrary, feel that the publication of this volume is most timely. Modern paediatric surgery has now been practised for three genera tions. The handful of pioneers who were the founders of our specialty worked mainly before the last world war. A few dozen of the inter mediary generation started work immediately after the war, while the new generation who are now dominating our specialty must be counted in thousands. Two factors have radically altered paediatric surgery as practised by the intermediary and the present generation of surgeons.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 3rd Edition describes and illustrates double contrast techniques for the diagnosis of diseases affecting the upper gastrointestinal tract, small bowel and colon. Co-edited by three of the world's leading gastrointestinal radiologists with an outstanding group of contributors, this reference explains the principles of examination. It describes how to perform the techniques in each area of the GI tract and guides the reader in interpreting the resulting radiographs. Devotes entire chapters to specific areas of the GI tract (pharynx, esophagus, stomach, duodenum, small bowel, and colon) and the technical aspects of studies specific to those areas, including pharyngography, esophagography, upper GI examinations, small bowel enemas (enteroclysis), and barium enemas. Includes important sections on the double contrast barium enema and the diagnosis of colorectal neoplasms and cancers that reflect growing national interest in colon cancer screening techniques. Features detailed, clearly labeled images that illustrate both normal anatomy and the abnormalities discussed in the text. Includes new sections on HIV esophagitis; Helicobacter pylori gastritis and the relationship of H. pylori to peptic ulcer disease; and gastric MALT lymphoma, an early, curable form of gastric lymphoma. Details the advantages of using digital fluoroscopic imaging to perform and interpret double contrast studies.

Download or read book Ultrasound Diagnosis of Digestive Diseases written by Francis S. Weill and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 1046 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 1970s ultrasonography developed along different paths in continental Eu rope and the English-speaking world. Whereas static imaging dominated the United Kingdom and North America, real-time examination performed by physicians was the norm in the Federal Republic of Germany and France. Francis Weill was uniquely able to bridge the gap between the two schools since he employed both techniques extensively. He made many important contributions to ab dominal ultrasonography during that decade, including the first descriptions of peri pancreatic vascular anatomy, the sonographic diagnostic features of obstructive jaun dice, and the localization of intraperitoneal fluid collections. During the past 20 years he has been working on an evolving textbook of gastroin testinal ultrasonography. This edition in English is the latest fruit of that effort. There are many textbooks of ultrasonography but very few are the work of a single author with a systematic, consistent, and thoroughly organized approach. Moreover, a work that has been crafted and refined by 20 years of clinical experience is certainly unique in this field. My relationship to this book began with the first English edition which I helped to translate from French. The current volume is a revised version of the most recent French edition, a book that we have found to be an invaluable reference in our de partment of radiological ultrasound for anyone who can manage a bit of French.

Download or read book Secretin Cholecystokinin Pancreozymin and Gastrin written by J. Erik Jorpes and published by Springer. This book was released on 1973-07-30 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the beginning of this century physiology witnessed the creation of a new concept, the hormonal regulation of the work of the digestive organs. It was found that such essential functions as the flow of pancreatic juice and emptying of bile into the intestine were regulated by two hormones, secretin and cholecystokinin, respectively. Already in 1925 French authors attempted to measure the functional capacity of the exocrine pancreas by means of stimulation with secretin. The use fulness of the secretin test in this connection was definitely established by Scandinavian workers in the 1930's. In spite of the difficulties in obtaining secretin American authors succeeded in keeping the interest in the secretin test alive. The development in the 1950's of counter-current, ion exchange and chromato graphic techniques offered new possibilities in this field. The intestinal hormones were known to be relatively low molecular peptides and these could now be isolated in pure form. Thus secretin was isolated in 1961, and cholecystokinin in 1964. The newly developed methods for peptide analysis likewise soon brought us full information about the primary structure of the peptides. Gastrin, the specific stimulant of the gastric acid secretion, which was discovered in 1905 and acknowledged as a hormone in 1938, was the first of the gastrointestinal hormones for which the structure became known. This was in 1964. Synthesis soon followed. These developments are reviewed in the first chapter of the present volume.
