Emergency Surgery in Obese Patients
This comprehensive, multi-authored book covers all aspects of surgery on obese patients in emergency conditions. Obesity is a metabolic disease affecting a high percentage of world population.. It involves marked anthropometric changes, affecting surgical practice and altering patients’ ability to react to surgical stress. The prevalent comorbidities also affect the rate of complications and mortality after surgery. The obesity paradox, the ability of obese patients to survive emergency operations in spite of an increased risk of complications, is an effect of the widespread development of “Obesity Science”. This volume discusses this science, examining the frailty of the obese patients and the main comorbidities that affect clinical practice, as well as the most frequent emergency situations after trauma, inflammatory diseases and the complications of bariatric surgery. With contributions from leading experts, it provides clinicians with detailed and updated information for better practice in this emerging field of surgery.
Predictive And Prognostic Factors In Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma
Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is the most commonly diagnosed type of pancreatic cancer, with approximately 95% of all pancreatic cancers diagnosed being PDAC. Cancers of the pancreas are also notorious for a very low rate of survival, with recent reports showing 5 year survival rate being less than 5%, and PDAC being the fourth most frequent cause of cancer deaths worldwide, therefore the ability of clinicians to identify reliable prognostic biomarkers is of vital importance in improving patient outcomes. Due to the location and function of the pancreas, metastasis of the cancer from the liver into the lymph nodes, liver, lung, bones via either the circulatory system or lymphatic s...
Transparency
This catalogue accompanies the exhibition Transparency: Salvatore Emblema (1929-2006) held at BOSI Contemporary from November 14 to January 11. Growing up in Terzigno, a town on Mt.

Always a purist with an interest in raw materials, Emblema concerned himself with nature, texture, shadow, and most importantly, light. His use of stretched sackcloth, or burlap, embodied all these interests and quickly became his canvas of choice. An Italian post-war artist, Emblema remains relatively unknown to an American audience despite his artistic achievements that span decades of movements.
