Liver Disease
This clinical casebook provides a concise yet comprehensive state-of-the-art review of liver disease. Presented in a case-based format, each case features a scenario centered on a different variant of liver disease, with sections on case history, diagnosis/assessment, treatment, outcomes, alternative approaches, and clinical pearls. Diseases covered include drug-induced liver injury, acute hepatitis, chronic hepatitis, NAFLD, and cholangitis. Scenarios such as liver disease in pregnancy, elevated liver function tests, and liver transplants are also presented in the casebook. Written by experts in the field, Liver Disease: A Clinical Casebook is a valuable resource for clinicians and practitioners who treat patients with liver disease.
Nutrition, Weight, and Digestive Health
This book serves as a definitive nutritional reference for medical practitioners who care for patients with digestive diseases. This first-of-its-kind title explores the critical link between nutrition and weight and digestive health and organizes the necessary information for easy use for clinicians across specialties. The book is divided into four sections; the first section outlines basic nutritional concepts that lay a foundation for future chapters. This includes discussion of the gastrointestinal tract’s role in digestion and metabolism, an outline of dietary composition and associated deficiencies, and a review of nutritional assessment and general therapeutic principles. Next, the ...
Pandemic Influenza Preparedness and Response
This guidance is an update of WHO global influenza preparedness plan: the role of WHO and recommendations for national measures before and during pandemics, published March 2005 (WHO/CDS/CSR/GIP/2005.5).
Magnetic Resonance Elastography
The first book to cover the groundbreaking development and clinical applications of Magnetic Resonance Elastography, this book is essential for all practitioners interested in this revolutionary diagnostic modality. The book is divided into three sections. The first covers the history of MRE. The second covers technique and clinical applications of MRE in the liver with respect to fibrosis, liver masses, and other diseases. Case descriptions are presented to give the reader a hands-on approach. The final section presents the techniques, sequence and preliminary results of applications in other areas of the body including muscle, brain, lung, heart, and breast.
Antiseptic Stewardship
Various antiseptic agents, such as chlorhexidine, are used for different applications, e.g. in healthcare, veterinary medicine, animal production and household products, including cosmetics. However, not all antiseptic agents provide significant health benefits, especially in some products used in human medicine (alcohol-based hand rubs, antimicrobial soaps). While some products (antimicrobial soaps, surface disinfectants, instrument disinfectants, wound antiseptics) may contain one or more biocidal agents with a comparable antimicrobial efficacy but large differences in their potential for microbial adaptation and tolerance. An increased bacterial resistance has been described for various a...
Non-Polypoid (Flat and Depressed) Colorectal Neoplasms, an Issue of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Clinics
Dr. Soetikno has organized a comprehensive issue devoted to the detection and diagnosis of non-polypoid colorectal neoplasms with special emphasis on sessile or flat colon adenoma. Top experts in the field have supplied the latest clinical information in the following areas: Non-Polypoid Colorectal Neoplasms in Ulcerative Colitis; Detection and Diagnosis of Non-Polypoid Colorectal Neoplasms; Image-Enhanced Endoscopy to Detect and Diagnose Non-Polypoid Colorectal Neoplasms; CT Colonography and Non-Polypoid Colorectal Neoplasms, as well as Endoscopic Mucosal Resection of Non-Polypoid Colorectal Neoplasms. This issue is an important one as there are not many references on the topics that are as comprehensive.
Esophagus and Stomach
The Requisites in Gastroenterology series clearly and succinctly encompasses all of the core knowledge in the field. This first volume covers the diagnosis and management of disorders of the esophagus and stomach, discussing pitfalls and presenting evidence-based perspectives throughout. A concise, user-friendly format- with at-a-glance illustrations, boxes, and tables-enables readers to access information quickly. The result is an outstanding resource both for certification and recertification review and for clinical reference.
Crisis Standards of Care
Disasters and public health emergencies can stress health care systems to the breaking point and disrupt delivery of vital medical services. During such crises, hospitals and long-term care facilities may be without power; trained staff, ambulances, medical supplies and beds could be in short supply; and alternate care facilities may need to be used. Planning for these situations is necessary to provide the best possible health care during a crisis and, if needed, equitably allocate scarce resources. Crisis Standards of Care: A Toolkit for Indicators and Triggers examines indicators and triggers that guide the implementation of crisis standards of care and provides a discussion toolkit to he...
Advanced Imaging Modalities
Imaging technologies are the cornerstone in the diagnosis and staging of benign and malignant lesions in the liver and pancreas. Although the methods are partly competing, they often need to be used in a complementary way in order to obtain optimal results for decision making. The introduction of new and refined non-invasive imaging technologies has lately led to a major progress in the diagnostic approach to diseases of the digestive system. For example, this is the case with echo-enhanced sonography: This technique is based on the property of microbubbles to resonate and emit harmonic waves in an ultrasound field. The initial method, defined as 'second harmonic imaging', was limited by the...
Interventional Endoscopic Ultrasound
This volume provides a comprehensive, state-of-the-art overview on interventional endoscopic ultrasound (EUS). Each chapter covers a single procedure or related group of procedures, features a detailed literature evaluation and tips on these cutting edge endoscopic techniques, and is accompanied by a comprehensive endoscopic video and illustrative endoscopic and ultrasonographic images. The text also reviews adverse events related to interventional EUS, both how to avoid them and how to manage them when they arise. Written by to endoscopic experts in the field, Interventional Endoscopic Ultrasound is a valuable resource for practicing gastroenterologists who perform advanced endoscopy.
