Endoscopic Ultrasound Management of Pancreatic Lesions
This book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of current endoscopic ultrasound use in all aspects of pancreatology, from diagnosis to therapy, i.e., from tissue acquisition, with standard fine-needle aspiration and the newer biopsy needles, to less invasive techniques such as contrast-enhanced ultrasound and elastography. It also covers novel therapeutic strategies, with a particular focus on ablative treatments and lumen-apposing stents, and describes techniques developed by the editors, in particular combined celiac plexus neurolysis with pancreatic tumor ethanol ablation and elastography-guided fine-needle aspiration. All topics are developed by pursuing an evidence-based approach and several recent meta-analyses, the majority of which were published by the authors. Due to several recent advances in the field, endoscopic ultrasound has taken on a pivotal role in the diagnosis, staging, and treatment of pancreatic lesions; as such, the present volume offers an invaluable tool for staying abreast of the state-of-the-art in this field.
Colon Polypectomy
This book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of current polypectomy techniques and describes new perspectives in the field. A wide variety of topics are covered, including classification of colon polyps, established polypectomy techniques and related controversies, advanced endoscopic resection, endoscopic submucosal dissection, the use of submucosal injection solutions, management of complications, management of anticoagulant and antiplatelet medications, and post-polypectomy endoscopic surveillance. Information is also provided on a novel risk calculation score for adenoma recurrence after polypectomy, developed by the editors of the book and their colleagues. In acquainting readers with the state of the art in the field, Colon Polypectomy will serve as a valuable reference and practical tool for all who perform the procedure, which is of ever-increasing importance given the recent success of colon cancer screening campaigns in leading to earlier detection of colon polyps.
Bio-fabrication of liver cancer stem cells and testing of gemcitabine
Aim: Cancer stem cells are cell populations that are essential in drug resistance and cancer metastasis. Some liver cancer cells exhibit the characteristics of cancer stem cells, and it is crucial to study the activities and interactions of drugs in these cells. Huh7 is a human liver cancer cell with stem cell biomarkers and is used with induced pluripotent stem cells to form various cancer organoids through encapsulation methods. Due to their ease of use without animal testing, bio-fabrication studies of cell-encapsulated models have gained importance in the pharmaceutical industry in recent years. This study aimed to biofabricate Huh7 human liver cancer stem cells by alginate encapsulation...
Hepatocellular Carcinoma
• Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) used to be regarded as a rare disease. However, the increasing numbers of chronic HCC carriers in the U.S. and subsequent increased incidences of HCC seen in most large medical centers means that it is no longer an uncommon disease for gastroenterologists or oncologists to encounter and its incidence and epidemiology are changing. During this exciting time in the field of HCC basic science and clinical management, many changes are simultaneously occurring at multiple levels of our understanding and management of the disease. Suddenly, there are several new choices of therapy to offer patients. Hepatocellular Carcinoma, 3rd edition addresses this fast-changi...
Hepatocellular carcinoma: from personalized medicine to practical guidelines
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary liver cancer. HCC is the fourth cause of cancer-related mortality and the fifth most common cancer in the world. The prognosis and survival of patients depend mainly on the cancer stage at time of diagnosis. Earlier detection of the disease has seen improvement in treatment and disease-free survival over the last several decades. Currently, the only curable treatment for HCC is tumor resection or transplantation. These measures are strictly successful only if caught during early-stage HCC. Research has identified multiple molecular pathways involved in HCC on genetic, epigenetic, and proteomic levels. There has been a lot of research into designing drugs to specifically target these molecular pathways affected in patients, and thus contributing to personalized medical treatment. There is abundant bioinformatic research to document the extensive molecular pathways involved as well as drug docking techniques used to assess drug candidates for treating those affected pathways. These bioinformatic techniques result in identifying candidates suitable for further analysis in tissue and animal models and human trials.
Liver Diseases
This book provides an in-depth coverage not only of liver pathology but also of diagnosis of the numerous types of liver disease, placing specific emphasis on current treatments of liver pathology including the most up-to-date information on liver transplantation. The first part of provides an in-depth account of the liver pathology in different conditions such as Hepatits, liver ischaemia reperfusion injury, Lyme disease, cirrhotic cardiomyopathy and hepatocellular carcinoma. The second part provides a comprehensive overview of diagnostic methods. Of particular interest are chapters on the latest techniques in Patient-specific 3D printing and transient elastography (FibroScan). The final pa...
Biomarkers and Immunotherapy of Hepatic-Biliary-Pancreatic Cancers
Hepatic-biliary-pancreatic cancers, mainly including hepatocellular carcinoma, cholangiocarcinoma, gallbladder cancer, are highly aggressive malignancies with few treatment options and poor prognoses. Effects of the traditional systemic treatments such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy, are quite limited to hepatic-biliary-pancreatic cancers. For the patients who suffer from hepatic-biliary-pancreatic cancer and lose the opportunity of radical surgery, few targeted drugs are available. Even for the drugs in clinical trial, potential drug targets and prognostic biomarkers for hepatic-biliary-pancreatic cancer are less studied compared to other common cancers such as lung cancer. Prognostic bio...
A tua difesa briganti, lealisti e reazionari del 1860
Bande, zone operative, capibanda, ex soldati borbonici sbandati, briganti, lealisti e reazionari, che nell'ex Regno delle due Sicilie, dal 1860 per dieci anni si ribellarono all'aggressione piemontese.
