David R. Cave
R2,474 Discovery Miles 24 740 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Adoption of video capsule endoscopy has been slow, but there are now four FDA-approved devices and others available in China. It is now generally realized that there is an expanding role for these devices, not only in the small intestine but in the GI tract in general. In collaboration with Consulting Editor, Dr. Charles Lightdale, guest editor Dr. David Cave has assembled expert authors to provide clinical reviews that address where we are now, areas of controversy that still need resolution, and where the field is likely to develop over the next 5 to 10 years. Articles are specifically devoted to the following topics: Training, Reading and Reporting for Video Capsule Endoscopy; Indications and Contraindications: Complications of Capsule Endoscopy; Preparation, Prokinetics, and Surface Active Agents; Role of Capsule in Small Intestinal Bleeding; Role of Capsule Endoscopy in IBD; Role of Video Capsule Endoscopy in Liver Disease; Role of Video Capsule Endoscopy in Alternative Settings; Timing and Use of the Capsule Endoscopy in the Acute Care Setting; Role of Video Capsule Endoscopy as a Prelude to Deep Enteroscopy; Location of Capsule and Provocation Testing; Cost Effectiveness of Video Capsule Endoscopy; Artificial Intelligence in Capsule Endoscopy; and Novel Clinical Applications and Technical Developments in Video Capsule Endoscopy.

Understanding the Gut Microbiota (Hardcover): G.W. Tannock Understanding the Gut Microbiota (Hardcover)
G.W. Tannock
R3,178 Discovery Miles 31 780 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book discusses the community of microbial species (the microbiota, microbiome), which inhabits the large bowel of humans. Written from the perspective of an academic who has been familiar with the topic for 40 years, it provides a long-term perspective of knowledge about this high profile and fast-moving topic. Building on general ecological principles, the book aims to help the reader to understand how the microbiota is formed, how it works, and what the consequences are to humans. Understanding the Gut Microbiota focuses on conceptual progress made from studies of the human bowel microbiota. Where appropriate, it draws on knowledge obtained from other animal species to provide conceptual enlightenment, but this is essentially a book about humans and their bowel microbes. Particular research approaches are recommended to fill knowledge gaps so that fundamental ecological theory and information about the microbiota can be translated into benefits for human health. The relationship between food for humans and resulting food for bowel bacteria emerges as an important topic for consideration. This concise scholarly treatise of the microbiota of the human bowel will be of great interest and use as a text and reference work for professionals, teachers and students across a wide range of disciplines, including the health sciences, general biology, and food science and technology. The provision of handy explanation of terms means that those with a general interest in science can also read the book with enjoyment.

This book fills a void in the market for specialists who are working in areas without the support of gastroenterologists. Due to a lack of local expertise, treatment decisions in the field of gastroenterology frequently have to be made by non-gastroenterologists. The book addresses this problem by providing clear instructions on the diagnosis, medical management and on-going treatment of the most common disease patterns encountered in gastroenterology. Written by leading experts in their respective fields, it offers up-to-date evidence and insights into these conditions to enable adequate decision-making and safe management of these conditions.

John Libbey Eurotext is continuing to publish the proceedings of these courses in gastroenterology organised in Europe by the world's leading specialists. The July course will cover bacterial gastrointestinal infections, which doctors are increasingly called upon to treat. For example diarrhoea, the best known of these conditions, is no longer specific to the developing world and many bacterial infections are now appearing in western countries. Biological and clinical data are presented here in a synoptic work for young practitioners, edited by EAGE president Professor Galmiche. Latest knowledge about the mechanisms of these infections, their interactions with other systems and their medium- and long-term treatments has enabled specialists to lay the first foundations for future therapies, in particular treatments for and vaccines against diarrhoea.

This book is designed to present readers with comprehensive, high-quality research results on almost all aspects of this carcinoma in clinical management, from correct determination of the esophagogastric junction, issues on cardiac mucosa, epidemiology, and natural history, to clinical, endoscopic, and histopathologic features and diagnostic pitfalls of this carcinoma at both early and advanced stages. Once diagnosed and correctly staged, clinical management of this carcinoma at the early stage is addressed primarily with endoscopic therapy employing the latest endoscopic technology such as endoscopic submucosal dissection, in which detailed technical topics of the endoscopic therapy are written by experts in the field with sections from pre-resection staging and patient preparation to post-resection complications and management. Subsequently, clinical management of gastric cardiac carcinoma at advanced stages is discussed at length with a personalized, multidiscipline approach with strategies from surgical resections with various methods, to pre-, peri- and post-resection chemoradiation therapies as well as the most advanced immunotherapy. A state-of-art approach with the results of meta-analyses and large-scale randomized double-blinded clinical trials are employed throughout these chapters. For patients at the terminal ill stage, the appropriate palliative care plan is presented by experienced clinicians armed with the latest clinical practice guidelines to better manage and help those patients in the last period of their lives.

Wer kennt es nicht - man ist mitten im Medizinstudium, hat zwar schon einiges, aber langst noch nicht alles gelernt und fuhlt sich in Sachen Diagnosestellung alles andere als sattelfest. Und dann kommt sie, die unvermeidliche Frage auf der nachsten Familienfeier: "Du, sag mal, Du studierst doch Medizin, kannst Du mir sagen, was das hier ist?" - und ehe man sich versieht, wird man mit veranderten Hautstellen, geschwollenen Mandeln und weiteren Symptomen konfrontiert, die man gar nicht unbedingt von seiner naheren Bekannt- und Verwandtschaft sehen und wissen wollte. Einerseits schlagt da stolz das Herz in der Brust, andererseits aber nur so lange, wie man mit den Symptomen auch etwas anfangen kann. Was, wenn die Frage zur schuppenden Hautstelle vor dem Semester kommt, in dem die Dermatologie dran ist? Und wenn man auch nicht aus dem eigenen Erfahrungsfundus schoepfen kann? Was, wenn man zwar dunkel ahnt, was Besenreiser sind, aber keine Antwort auf die Frage parat hat, ob man etwas dagegen machen muss? Diese Buchreihe soll auf eine leicht verstandliche Art helfen, die meisten und gangigsten Alltagszipperlein zu erklaren und zu erkennen. Welche Fragen sollten Sie anderen oder sich stellen, um auf die richtige Fahrte zu kommen und Moegliches von Unwahrscheinlichem abzugrenzen?

'A major step in patient education and participation in the management of diverticulitis' - Professor Frank A. Frizelle Diverticular disease (DD) is a digestive disorder caused by enflamed diverticula, or pouches, in the colon. A common cause is constipation due to lack of fibre in the diet. Diverticulitis is very common, with about 60,000 new cases diagnosed each year in the UK and 300,000 in the USA. Symptoms are usually persistent abdominal pain plus disturbed bowel function (constipation or diarrhoea or alternating between the two). Diverticulitis sometimes becomes very severe leading to perforation of the bowel, forming an abscess or rarely peritonitis.
