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?

This book bridges the gap between advances in basic biology and chemistry and technological applications in the field of toxicity assessments. It describes areas of progress in the laboratory and clinic and discusses aspects of cellular organelles. It also covers the basic principles and applications of modern toxicological tools such as transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic approaches. The recent developments on molecular modeling and systems biology are described with an eye on the future establishment of virtual cell technology. Finally the clinical implications for the understanding of acute and chronic renal toxicity are studied.

The kidneys are responsible for many key bodily functions, but their primary role as a filter of toxins makes them extremely susceptible to disease. Often these diseases can only be diagnosed through a renal biopsy, a complicated procedure requiring ancillary immunologic and molecular diagnostic techniques. Many academic centers set aside dedicated laboratories specifically for renal pathology due to the amount of expertise required. This book covers all methods used by renal pathologists to diagnose a wide range of kidney diseases. Unlike most literature on renal pathology, this book is situated on the midpoint between encyclopedic and superficial coverage, written for the signing-out pathologist. While focusing on tumors and transplantation rejection, a full spectrum of infectious, inflammatory, and congenital disorders is covered in both pediatric and adult populations and is analyzed not only by light microscopy but by each applicable diagnostic modality available. The text is illustrated with more than 1,000 photomicrographs and diagrams, including a CD-ROM of all images.

This reference work provides a comprehensive review of the most crucial and provocative aspects of pancreas transplantation. It represents a unique source of information and guidance for the current generation of transplant surgeons that evolved from being pure clinicians into savvy administrators knowledgeable in every regulatory aspect governing transplantation. The book contains 15 chapters covering every single aspect of the surgical operation in the donors as well as the recipients of pancreas transplants. The pre-operative workup, as well as the post-operative immunosuppression management, and the treatment of recurrent diseases are addressed in detail. In addition, the book further expands the role of islet cell transplant with its ever increasing prominence, which includes the role of autologous islet cell transplant. The impact of increasing regulatory burdens from the federal government coupled with the economic and health burden of Diabetes mellitus is discussed.

The leading textbook on the subject. A completely rewritten and up-to-date Fourth Edition, formerly edited by W. Drukker, F. M. Parsons and J. F. Maher.

Revised in line with feedback from users of the first edition, this practical clinical resource boasts a worldwide array of contributors, including the most prominent pediatric nephrologists in the US.

Excellently illustrated with photomicrographs and clinical diagrams supporting the chapters, Clinical Pediatric Nephrology features expanded case histories relating to the discussion and management of renal disease thus ensuring that this is a highly useful reference tool for nephrologists and house officers in practice, as well as nephrology fellows in training.

RICHARD J. GLASSOCK Introducing a scientific symposium is an uncertain and difficult task. The remarks must not be too specific lest the participant's later contributions be intruded upon, yet an overview of the goals and objectives of the conference should be presented in an inquisitive and stimulating fashion. Perhaps a compromise position would be to make a few general statements and pose a limited number of questions which hopefully would then be addressed dur­ ing the formal or informal portions of the meeting. A conclusion incorpo­ of the relevance of the specific topic to the more rating some perspectives global issues of disease and its consequences might be appropriate. The goals and objectives of this conference, as set forth by its organizers, Professors Ponti celli, D'Amico and Minetti, are rather simple and straight­ forward; namely, to review and elucidate the immunopathophysiology of cryoimmunoglobulins and auto-antibodies to immunoglobulins (lg) and, secondarily, to explore the possible participation of these disordered states in glomerular injury. As such, this conference is principally devoted to an analysis of two properties of certain species of the globulin fraction of serum proteins, specifically the ability to self associate on the basis of immune interactions and to form insoluble aggregates when exposed to reduced ambient temperature. As we shall see, these two properties are often dis­ tinctly related.

This pathology atlas on CD-ROM consists of 22 CD-ROMS, each dedicated to one organ system (see list of titles). Three CD-ROMs have already been prepared, the others are scheduled to appear within the next two years. Each CD-ROM is basically an image database depicting the known lesions of a given organ system, a short description of the lesion as well as the international classification of the lesion. Three types of classification are available upon entering the programme: ICD-10, SNOMED, or ADICAP. The programm is in English or French clickable. The authors are soliciting pathologists from countries all over the world to help promote the series.

This work offers a comprehensive reference guide to help clinicians in the field of Internal Medicine addressing common aspects of endocrinological disorders in their daily practice. The exponential growth in our knowledge of biomedicine calls for continuous multidisciplinary approaches across specialists and disciplines. In this volume, recognized experts in each given area explore the complex mechanisms linking endocrinological disorders to abnormalities of the cardiovascular system, kidney, liver and gastrointestinal tract, autoimmune, neuro-psychiatric, rheumatic, and dermatologic diseases. Aspects connected to critically ill and elderly patients are examined as well, helping to enhance daily interactions with the most fragile populations observed in clinical medicine. The individual chapters are designed to deliver timely information while explaining pathophysiological mechanisms with the help of figures, flow-charts, and updated guidelines. The book offers a unique and valuable resource for all clinicians, residents, specialists, and physicians involved daily in the management of complex and multidisciplinary systemic diseases.
