Gastroenterology Books

Book SynopsisComprehensively covers the rich spectrum of radiologic digestive disease interventions Greater understanding of gastrointestinal disease has resulted in an evolving array of minimally invasive and noninvasive techniques. Significant advances have maximized patient comfort, improved clinical outcomes, and minimized morbidity. Interventional radiologists are integral to the management of patients with a wide range of digestive disorders, often providing a critical or sole therapeutic option. The field has evolved from a procedure-based radiology subspecialty to a patient-based, clinical specialty working in concert with internists, gastroenterologists, oncologists, and surgeons. Digestive Disease Interventions edited by Baljendra Kapoor and Jonathan Lorenz fills an unmet need for a comprehensive resource covering interventional approaches. Throughout 30 succinct yet comprehensive chapters, top experts detail image-guided gastrointestinal interventions. A full spectrum of pathologies are encompassed — from benign refractory ascites and biliary strictures, to hepatocellular carcinoma, cholangiocarcinoma, pancreatic cancer, and more. Key Features Management and treatment of portal hypertension including disease knowledge, the use of shunts, and cutting-edge obliteration techniques Updates on recent advances and future directions such as obesity and bariatric embolization and islet cell transplantation State-of-the-art management of liver cancer: GI imaging, staging, ablation and embolization, liver transplants, and Y-90 Treatment of acute cholecystitis, cholelithiasis, and choledocholithiasis 640 high quality illustrations and halftones elucidate techniques This remarkable book is an invaluable resource for fellows, residents, and practitioners in the field of interventional radiology.

Book SynopsisDiverticular disease first became recognised at the beginning of the 20th century and although the incidence of the disease is not known, it is considered to be a disease of the older person. This book looks at a disease that is known as a Western world disease, often called by surgeons a 'cinderella disease' as they often feel that there is little to offer the patient with uncomplicated diverticular disease. The book endeavours to give the healthcare professional a holistic view of the care and pattern of diverticular disease, and chapters may be used as stand alone chapters for those wishing to know more about stoma care, alternative treatments or food management. This book is essential reading for healthcare professionals involved in the care of patients with this disease.Trade Review“This slim volume is easy to read, with useful information for nurses who wish to update and revise their knowledge….”.

Book SynopsisChronischer Beckenbodenschmerz (CPPS) ist ein vorwiegend in der Urologie beheimatetes Krankheitsbild, das aber häufig auch interdisziplinär auftreten kann und dann fachübergreifend diagnostiziert und behandelt werden muss. Walter Merkle betrachtet in diesem Überblick vor allem die urologischen Erscheinungsformen, arbeitet jedoch die interdisziplinären Zusammenhänge ein. Er plädiert an die Ärzteschaft, das Krankheitsbild des CPPS verstärkt zu beachten, da dieses oft unzureichend diagnostiziert und behandelt wird. Essentiell ist dabei, sich von der alleinigen Sichtweise aus dem Fachgebiet der Urologie zu lösen und sich unbedingt interdisziplinär auf Empathie, Psychosomatik und Osteopathie sowie Biofeedbacktherapie einzulassen, um erfolgreich diagnostizieren und behandeln zu können.Der Autor: Dr. Walter Merkle war im Fachbereich Urologie der Deutschen Klinik für Diagnostik GmbH in Wiesbaden tätig.Table of ContentsPathophysiologie und Grundlagen.- Symptomatiken des CPPS.- Anamneseerhebung, Befunde und erprobte Therapiemaßnahmen.- Fallbeispiele.

Book SynopsisNational BestsellerDoctor of Natural Medicine and wellness authority Dr. Josh Axe delivers a groundbreaking, indispensable guide for understanding, diagnosing, and treating one of the most discussed yet little-understood health conditions: leaky gut syndrome.Do you have a leaky gut? For 80% of the population the answer is “yes”—and most people don’t even realize it. Leaky gut syndrome is the root cause of a litany of ailments, including: chronic inflammation, allergies, autoimmune diseases, hypothyroidism, adrenal fatigue, diabetes, and even arthritis.To keep us in good health, our gut relies on maintaining a symbiotic relationship with trillions of microorganisms that live in our digestive tract. When our digestive system is out of whack, serious health problems can manifest and our intestinal walls can develop microscopic holes, allowing undigested food particles, bacteria, and toxins to seep into the bloodstream.
