Download or read book Gastrointestinal Surgery written by Haile T. Debas and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-05-05 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gastrointestinal Surgery: Pathophysiology and Management is an invaluable reference text for surgeons and surgical trainees. Written entirely by Dr. Haile T. Debas, Dean of School of Medicine and former Professor and Chairman, Department of Surgery, at the University of California, San Francisco, this book provides the unified approach only found in a single-authored text. Based on the three pillars of understanding particular disease processes -- fundamental anatomy and physiology, pathopysiology, and clinical correlations -- surgical treatment of GI disease is presented as the means to correct abnormal physiology and restore health. Using an integrated approach of basic science and clinical practice, Dr. Debas allows the student of surgery to gain a solid understanding of disease processes that minimizes the need for rote memorization. Thirteen lavishly illustrated chapters cover the GI system as well as gastrointestinal peptides and peptide-secreting tumors, abdominal trauma, the abdominal wall, surgery for morbid obesity, the liver, spleen, retroperitoneum, and perioperative care. Dozens of summary tables throughout each chapter condense "essentials" for quick reference. Comprehensive discussions of clinical disorders review the surgical treatment options. With 400 illustrations and tables, including hundreds of anatomical line drawings commissioned exclusively for this textbook, Gastrointestinal Surgery provides a clinical and therapeutic approach to surgical diseases which will prove invaluable to the surgical trainee and the practitioner preparing for recertification.

Download or read book Pathophysiology of Shock Sepsis and Organ Failure written by Günther Schlag and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 1180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book current knowledge of the pathophysiology of shock, sepsis and multi organ failure is presented. The rapid progress which has been made and the results achieved in intensive care medicine are based on sound basic research, which is duly reflected in these chapters. Multiorgan failure is the foremost cause of postoperative and posttraumatic death and many complex mechanisms are involved. Only with a good foundation of basic research can abnormalities in the physiological, biochemical, and morphological course of shock be recognized and the necessary conclusions for treatment drawn. Therapy must proceed from profound knowledge of the multi variant physiological events in order to influence shock, sepsis and organ failure. Although numerous possibilities for therapy have arisen from pharmaceutical research in recent years, they are beyond the scope of this book and are not discussed here. To gain a better understanding of the pathophysiological events it was necessary to examine and to describe different models that simulate and reproduce these events. Here we describe the causative agents (shock) and the consequences (sepsis, organ failure) in two main sections, divided on the basis of their pathophysiology.

Book excerpt: The goal of this book is not to follow a traditional systems or organ-based approach but rather to encourage our readers to think of the patients as complex biochemical systems. The book provides information that supplements the more traditional approaches and provides a detailed overview of the metabolic knowledge needed for surgical practice. The text reviews normal physiology, the pathophysiology of starvation and surgical stressors. It also focuses on appropriate nutritional repletion for various common disease states. Specifically, chapters address the severe metabolic demands created by systemic inflammation, infection, and major insults such as trauma and burns. All chapters are written by experts in their fields and include the most up-to-date scientific and clinical information. As biochemical aspects of modern medicine are advancing rapidly, chapters have been updated and several new chapters have been added in order to help readers keep pace in this race for state-of-the-art knowledge. Surgical Metabolism: The Metabolic Care of the Surgical Patient 2nd Edition is designed for clinicians across levels of training and provides clear and concise evidence based guidelines for the metabolic management and nutritional support of the surgical patient.
Download or read book The Pancreas written by A. W. Mayo Robson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-26 with total page 568 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pancreas: Its Surgery and Pathology Our present knowledge of the physiology, pathology, and surgery of the pancreas, like so many other advances in medicine in recent years, was rendered possible by the beneficent work of Lister. So long as clinical observation was only capable of being checked by the experience of the post-mortem room, and by an occasional accidental experiment on the living subject, the important and complex part that the pancreas plays in the physiology of the body remained unsuspected, and descriptions of the diseases to which it is liable were confined to a few lines on malignant disease, cysts, and calculi. Animal experiments, now rendered safe by antiseptic surgery and improved technique, have thrown a flood of light on the physiology of the organ and elevated it from the position of a mere accessory digestive gland to the rank of a structure indispensable for the metabolic needs of the organism. The numerous laparotomies undertaken in recent years have afforded the surgeon opportunities of observing and handling the living organ, both in health and disease, and a comparison of the conditions noticed, together with a closer investigation of the symptoms and after-histories of the cases, has very, considerably widened our conception of the pathological changes that may occur in the gland and afforded a basis for their clinical differentiation. Histological and post-mortem inquiries, stimulated by the impetus thus given, have still further increased our knowledge, and confirmed the conclusions of the bedside and the operating theatre.

Download or read book The Clinical Handbook for Surgical Critical Care written by K. W. Burchard and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2001-03-15 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The surgical patient may exhibit a variety of subtle and not so subtle clues that a problem, or in the words of the authors "a hole", is present. Therefore, when evaluating and managing the critically ill patient, the critical care surgeon must proceed through a series of three questions: Where is the hole? How do I repair the hole? and the most critical question, Why is the hole there? The Clinical Handbook for Surgical Critical Care is a guide to answering these questions, bringing into focus the importance of "why is the hole there?" and exploring how to effectively make it disappear. Since much of surgical critical illness is secondary to either inadequate circulation, pathological inflammation, or both, the authors pay particular attention to the recognition of these conditions associated with particular disease states. The authors examine the pathophysiology that underlie these disease states and then the physical examination, monitoring, and laboratory results that lead to a diagnosis. They discuss appropriate management of the deranged physiology and provide the supporting evidence for treatment. The Clinical Handbook for Surgical Critical Care serves as a manual for reviewing and contrasting organ physiology during normal and pathological states and recognizing the pathophysiological states related to surgical disease and procedures. It gives you a clear understanding of the link between deficits in the circulation and pathological inflammation that is key to a successful outcome.
