The small intestine has, until 2001, been an organ largely inaccessible to conventional endoscopy. Since that time a variety of endoscopic technologies have become available that have transformed small bowel diagnosis and therapy with a concomitant increase in interest in this organ and its disorders. This issue is divided into two sections; first, the new technologies are presented and include video capsule endoscopy, single and double balloon enteroscopy, and very recently the innovative Spirus screw technology. An article on comparison of these new technologies and the evolving techniques of CT and MRI is included. Indications, contraindications, complications and therapeutic adjunctive devices are discussed. The second section addresses the application of these technologies to specific diseases and discusses how these technological advances have changed their management. An article on intra-operative enteroscopy and its utilization in this new era is included.

Voracious Children explores food and the way it is used to seduce,
to pleasure, and coerce not only the characters within children's
literature but also its readers. There are a number of gripping
questions concerning the quantity and quality of the food featured
in children's fiction that immediately arise: why are feasting
fantasies so prevalent, especially in the British classics? What
exactly is their appeal to historical and contemporary readers?
What do literary food events do to readers? Is food the sex of
children's literature? The subject of children eating is compelling
but, why is it that stories about children being eaten are not only
horrifying but also so incredibly alluring? This book reveals that
food in fiction does far, far more that just create verisimilitude
or merely address greedy readers' desires. The author argues that
the food trope in children's literature actually teaches children
how to be human through the imperative to eat "good" food in a
"proper" controlled manner. Examining timely topics such as
childhood obesity and anorexia, the author demonstrates how
children's literature routinely attempts to regulate childhood
eating practices and only award subjectivity and agency to those
characters who demonstrate "normal" appetites.
This volume provides a thought-provoking, interdisciplinary perspective on the empirical and analytic study of body composition and the techniques used for measuring body components, such as fat, water, muscle, and bone mass and density. The nature of regional differences, developmental changes, pathological abnormalities, and the impact of heredity and environment in shaping body composition are discussed in the context of human evolution. For instance, the author looks at how growth, aging, and exposure to heat, cold, excess or lack of nourishment modify normal body composition.
Angiography is a minimally invasive medical test that helps physicians diagnose and treat medical conditions. More and more physicians have been using Magnetic Resonance Angiography due to the fact that it is a noninvasive imaging technique that does not involve exposure to radiation. This current and up-to-date new issue of MRI Clinics explores MRA with many articles written by clinicians at the top of their field. Topics include: Dynamic 4D MRA of the Abdomen, Pediatric MR Angiography, and Non Contrast MRA.
Nuclear Cardiology is a dynamic, rapidly growing field. Because this field has grown so quickly, a shortage of trained physicians is projected.

Despite technical advances using MR and the emergence of PET imaging, CT continues to be a frequently used imaging modality that has not stood still while others have thrived. Advances in CT have continued apace with other modalities which have taken CT into new areas of imaging that just a few short years ago it could not approach. With the advent of 64-slice CT, a greater number of images can be taken in a much quicker period of time. The use of CT perfusion in the brain and abdomen are reviewed in this issue. Cutting edge techniques such as 4D CT and dual energy CT will be discussed, as well as CT applications for imaging of the coronary arteries and cardiac valves.
Starting with the mouth and nose, airways are the part of the respiratory system in which air is transported to the lungs. If any of these airways become compromised, then respiration can become more difficult. Most common among the causes of these types of illnesses is asthma. Also prominent is chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, which is a significant cause of death worldwide. In addition to reviews of diseases affecting the airways, this issue also covers airway anatomy and variants, congenital anomalies of airways, and CT-bronchoscopic correlations.
