First published in 1570, Joachim Meyer's _The Art of Comba__t_ is among the most important texts in the rich corpus of German martial arts treatises of the Middle Ages and Renaissance. Meyer is unique in offering full recommendations on how to train for various weapons forms. He divides his book into five parts by weapon types: longsword; dusack (a practice weapon analogous to a sabre); rapier; dagger; and staff weapons. For each weapon, Meyer lays out the principles of its use and the vocabulary of techniques, and then describes a range of specific 'devices', attack combinations for use in combat. This rational approach, along with Meyer's famous and profuse woodcut illustrations, make this a crucial source for understanding the history and techniques of medieval and Renaissance martial arts. In the first ever English translation of this important work, Jeffrey Forgeng has sought to improve accessibility of the text. His Introduction is the first substantial account to be published in English of the German Fechtbuch corpus, and the Glossary likewise is the first of its kind to be published in English.

This book contains selected papers presented at the 17th IFIP WG 9.2, 9.6/11.7, 11.6/SIG 9.2.2 International Summer School on Privacy and Identity Management, held online in August/September 2022. The 9 full papers and 5 workshop and tutorial papers included in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 23 submissions. As in previous years, one of the goals of the IFIP Summer School was to encourage the publication of thorough research papers by students and emerging scholars. The papers combine interdisciplinary approaches to bring together a host of perspectives, such as technical, legal, regulatory, socio-economic, social or societal, political, ethical, anthropological, philosophical, or psychological perspectives.

Gastric Carcinoma/Classification, Diagnosis, and Therapy presents the most current perspective on gastric carcinoma, with particular emphasis on the surgical and chemotherapeutic modalities that offer hope for future treatment. The book discusses epidemiology, pathogenesis, and precancerous and clinical stage classification of the disease and provides valid practical guidelines for stage-specific diagnosis, therapy, and patient guidance. Topics explored include endoscopic criteria for premalignant lesions and early gastric carcinoma; clinical staging of gastric cancer by ultrasound, computerized tomography, and magnetic resonance tomography; surgical treatment of carcinomas of the gastroesophageal junction; possibilities for palliative treatment in surgical practice for advanced tumors; adjuvant treatment of gastric cancer; and chemotherapy of advanced gastric carcinomas in elderly and high-risk patients.

Following the success of Jeffrey L. Forgeng's translation of Joachim Meyer's The Art of Sword Combat the author was alerted to an earlier recension of the work which was discovered in Lund University Library in Sweden. The manuscript, produced in Strassburg around 1568, is illustrated with thirty watercolour images and seven ink diagrams. The text covers combat with the longsword (hand-and-a-half sword), dusack (a one-handed practice weapon comparable to a sabre), and rapier. The manuscript's theoretical discussion of guards is one of the most critical passages to understanding this key feature of the historical practice, not just in relation to Meyer but in relation to the medieval combat systems in general. The manuscript offers an extensive repertoire of training drills for both the dusack and the rapier, a feature largely lacking in treatises of the period as a whole but critical to modern reconstructions of the practice. The translation also includes a biography of Meyer, much of which has only recently come to light, as well as technical terminology, and other essential information for understanding and contextualizing the work.

Eine signifikante Verbesserung der Heilungs- und UEberlebensraten war in den letzten Jahren bei metastasierten gastrointestinalen Tumoren nicht zu beobachten. Umso wichtiger ist es, die vorhandenen therapeutischen Moeglichkeiten sorgfaltig zu evaluieren und die interdisziplinare Zusammenarbeit weiter zu optimieren. Als ein fur den Patienten hoechst relevantes Ergebnis dieser Kooperation sind die jungsten Ergebnisse der grossen Studien zur adjuvanten Chemotherapie beim Kolonkarzinom und zur adjuvanten Chemo-/Strahlentherapie beim Rektumkarzinom zu werten, die kurzlich einen signifikanten UEberlebensvorteil durch diese adjuvante Therapie nachgewiesen haben. In diesem Band werden fur Oesophagus-, Magen-, Kolon-, Rektum-, Pankreas-, Gallen- und Analkarzinome die Ergebnisse der neuesten Studie prasentiert und fur jeden Tumor die Wertigkeit von Chemotherapie, Chirurgie, Strahlentherapie und Immunmodulation bezuglich Prognose dargestellt.

Uber 100 sorgfaltig ausgewahlte Arbeiten, die bei der 127. Jahrestagung der DGCh prasentiert werden, zeigen das breite Spektrum der deutschsprachigen chirurgischen Forschung.

In der Abdominal- und Transplantationschirurgie konnten in den letzten Jahren beim therapeutischen Vorgehen und bei den erreichten Ergebnissen entscheidende Fortschritte erzielt werden. Die Weiterentwicklungen in der Behandlung endokriner Organe und verschiedener Tumorentit{ten sowohl des Gastrointestinaltraktes als auch des hepatopankreobili{ren Systems -vor allem bei multimodalen Therapieans{tzen - erfordern eine differenzierte pr{operative Diagnostik, Operationsstrategie und postoperative Nachsorge. Dies gilt auch f}r die Nieren-, Leber- oder Prankreastransplantation. Die bei Ausnutzen der vorhandenen therapeutischen M-glichkeiten erreichten Fortschritte wie auch m-gliche Perspektiven, besonders im interdisziplin{ren Behandlungskonzept, werden am Beispiel einer Chirurgenschule (Medizinische Hochschule Hannover) dargestellt.
