Bile Acids in Gastroenterology: Basic and Clinical Advances
This book contains the proceedings of the XIIIth International Bile Acid Meeting (Falk Symposium 80), an official satellite meeting of the World Congress of Gastroenterology, held in San Diego, California, U.S.A., September 30--October 2, 1994. It begins with presentations of major advances in bile acid chemistry, biology and pharmacology. The new structure proposed for the mixed micelles present in bile is reviewed, as are the properties of new synthetic analogues of bile acids. The mechanisms by which bile acids interact with cell membranes are discussed in order to provide insight into the hepatotoxic effects of bile acids in cholestatic liver disease. The book further shows the exciting progress in the molecular biology of bile acid transport by the hepatocyte and enterocyte, and concludes with a consensus on the use of ursodeoxycholic acid in cholestatic liver disease and as an adjunct to immunosuppressive therapy after liver transplantation, and to interferon therapy in chronic viral hepatitis.
Workshops in Bile Acid Research
During the 7th International Bile Acid meeting held in Cortina d'Ampezzo. , Italy, during March 1982, there were two important Workshops dealing with recent advances in two areas of bile acid metabolism - Serum Bile Acids i,n Health and Disease and The Pathophysiology of the Enterohepatic Circulation. These Workshops complemented the broad range of topics in bile acid metabolism which were presented formally as part of a Postgraduate Course. The proceedings of these formal presentations have already been pub lished by MTP Press under the title Bile Acids in Gastroenterology but in view of the exciting, important, new information which emerged during both Workshops, the organisers of the meet...
Bile Acids in Gastroenterology
Over the past 10 years there has been a veritable explosion of knowledge in working in this area are fortunate to meet their bile acid research. Those colleagues from time to time at International Meetings which are often held in attractive parts of the world. The 7th International Symposium on bile acids 'Bile Acids in Gastroenterology' was no exception. It took place in Cortina d'Ampezzo in the heart of the Italian Dolomites, from 17th-20th March 1982. This meeting was organised by a Scientific Committee, with representatives from Italy, the United States and Great Britain, in collaboration with the Italian Society of Gastroenterology. The format of the meeting was somewhat different from ...

Ports: Maintenance Standards – Implantation Techniques – Aftercare
This book provides a detailed and practical approach on how to optimally install a port system in patients who need safe venous access. The advantages and disadvantages of different implantation techniques along with use of ports in various settings as well as the management of ports after implantation are discussed in detail. This book will help readers learn about standardized surgical techniques, select appropriate materials, develop an optimal cooperation between the collaborating professional groups involved in patient care and perfect their skills in port use and management, all of which are paramount in achieving long survival times and high quality of life for patients. With a high number of illustrations on how to perform the surgical procedures and how to use and manage ports, the book also contains an online supplement of instructional videos.
The Bile Acids: Chemistry, Physiology, and Metabolism
Over a decade has elapsed since the last volume in this series was published. At that time we considered that we had comprehensively covered all aspects relating to bile acid chemistry and physiology. However, major strides have been made in our understanding of the physiology and pathophysiology of bile acids, due largely to the great advances which have taken place in analytical technology. As a result, the need to document these advances was felt acutely, and therefore this volume is devoted to methodologies in bile acid analysis and their applications. This volume includes twelve chapters written by prominent scientists in the field of bile acid research. The initial chapter discusses te...
Lipid Absorption: Biochemical and Clinical Aspects
In May 1975 more than 50 scientists - research workers and clinician- from 12 countries spent three days at Titisee in the Black Forest discussing problems relating to lipid absorption and ways of promoting closer liaison in the field. In this book all the papers presented at this symposium are published in full, together with the ensuing discussions. We should all like to thank Dr Falk for his generous sponsorship of this meeting which enabled us to work in such a charming atmosphere. We should also like to thank the authors and the other participants for the rapid preparation and correction of their manuscripts, and the publishers for their cooperation and assistance in preparing this book. We believe it repre sents a wide-ranging survey of existing knowledge of lipid absorption which will, we trust, provide a real stimulus for further research and new ideas in the study of this subject.
The Bile Acids: Chemistry, Physiology, and Metabolism
The first two volumes of this series addressed themselves to the chemistry, physiology, and metabolism of the bile acids. The present volume is devoted to the pathophysiology of bile acids. As the role of bile acids in health and disease is being increasingly recognized, we have chosen for discussion a wide range of topics of current importance. The presence of bile acids in brain tissue and their possible role in demyelinating diseases form the subject of a provocative discussion. As an extension of this theme, the presence and quantification of bile acids in extrahepatic tissues is the subject of one chapter. The pathophysiological implications of bile acids at the macromolecular level is ...
Fat Digestion and Absorption
Provides researchers, medical personnel, nutrition students, and others with an up-to-date view of several aspects of fat digestion and absorption and describes potential and realized applications. Topics addressed include enzymatic aspects of fat digestion in the gastrointestinal tract; the uptake of fat digestion products in the brush border membrane, the intracellular transport, and incorporation of these substances in glycerolipids and chylomicrons, or their portal transport; methods used to evaluate fat absorption; the effects of the triglyceride structure on fat digestion and absorption; an overview of fat absorption and studies related to malabsorption due to pancreatic and bile acid deficiency states; the effects of simulated household heating on fat absorption; and the reduction of fat uptake, either by feeding unabsorbable food fats or by interference with the digestion process of usual food fats by pharmacological means.
