Hepatology Books
American Registry of Pathology Tumors of the Liver
Book SynopsisNumerous advances in our understanding of the pathology and molecular features of liver tumors have been made since the publication of the previous series, nearly two decades ago. Examples of recent advances include the identification of novel entities, including their precursor lesions, the discovery of key molecular changes, including the fusion transcript between the DNAJB1 gene and the PRKACA gene in fibrolamellar carcinoma, the use of glutamine synthetase in the diagnosis of focal nodular hyperplasia, and the subtyping of hepatocellular adenomas using molecular and immunohistochemical methods. Together with the more unified classification and terminology of intrahepatic bile duct tumors and their precursors, these advances call for updated information that is presented in this volume.Table of Contents 1.

Springer Verlag, Singapore Diagnosis of Liver Disease
Book SynopsisThis book guides practitioners in the assessment of patients with a liver problem. The emphasis is on the role of macro- and microscopic pathology in elucidating pathogenesis as well as identifying confounding features of image findings that may lead to a more elaborate differential diagnosis. If appropriate, the role of light and electron microscopic examination, along with the role of specific stains and molecular techniques, is illustrated. In addition, the concept of each liver disease is summarized briefly and its up-to-data is provided, and unresolved problems in diagnosis, treatment, and pathogenesis are clearly described.The approach in this book is a practical one with a focus on the evaluation of illustrative cases, simultaneously demonstrating cross-sectional images (ultrasonography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and angiography), pathological findings, and peritoneoscopic images. The diagnosis and therapy are summed up in helpful tables, and association of clinical manifestations with image analysis and pathological findings is shown to be important in differential diagnosis and treatment. With the authors comprising internationally renowned experts, this book will serve as a useful source of information for medical students, physicians, internists, hepatologists, gastroenterologists, radiologists, and pathologists worldwide.Table of Contents1.Anatomy and Function.- 2.Laboratory tests in liver diseases.- 3.Acute Hepatitis.- 4.Acute Liver Failure.- 5.Chronic Hepatitis.- 6.Liver Cirrhosis.- 7.Alcoholic Liver Disease and Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease / Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis.- 8.Drug-induced Liver Injury.- 9.Autoimmune Liver Disease.- 10.Developmental Abnormalities of the Bile Duct & Foregut.- 11.Vascular Disorders in Liver.- 12.Metabolic Disorders in Liver.- 13.Hyperbilirubinemia.- 14.Granulomatous Liver Diseases.- 15.Liver Disorders in Systemic Diseases.- 16.Liver Tumor I: Benign Tumors and Tumor-Like Lesions.- 17.Liver Tumors II: Malignant Tumors of the Liver.- 18.Metastatic Liver Tumors.- 19.Liver pathology in transplantation.- 20.Peritoneal Diseases.

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Chronic Hepatitis B And C: Basic Science To
Book SynopsisThe scope of the book is very broad, covering a wide range of areas in HBV/HDV and HCV research, including both basic and clinical science. The selected topics range from epidemiology, immunology, molecular virology and oncology, to clinical therapy.Chronic Hepatitis B and C consists of 14 chapters, each being a review of a special topic on HBV or HCV. While review articles on a special topic can be found in periodical journals, they tend to be more restricted in presentation. Therefore, this book will provide more in-depth coverage of what are presented as “unpublished results” and “data not shown” in journal articles. Furthermore, several authors in this book do not write review articles regularly. Some authors wrote reviews on a specific topic regularly, but they tried a new topic in this book (e.g., Dr. YF Liaw on “natural course,” Dr. Shih on “virion release,” Dr. Michael Lai on “lymphotropism of HCV,” etc. ⋯). Overall, the book will offer useful information at the cutting age.Sample Chapter(s)Table of ContentsHepatitis B Virus: Natural Course of Chronic Hepatitis B Virus Infection (Y F Liaw & C M Chu); Immune Response and Viral Hepatitis B (D Milich); Epidemiology of Viral Hepatitis B-related Hepatocellular Carcinoma (K A McGlynn et al.); Molecular Biology of HBV-related Hepatocellular Carcinoma (A J Hodgson & B Slagle); Treatment of Chronic Viral Hepatitis B and Drug Resistant Variants (T Nguyen et al.); The Release of HBV Particles (C Shih); Recent Development in Hepatitis Delta Virus (C Sureau); Hepatitis C Virus: Development of an HCV Cell Culture System (T Kato & T Wakita); Innate Immune Defense and Flaviviridae (M Gale Jr & M Diamond); Lymphotropism of Hepatitis C Virus (M Lai & K Machida); Expression and Functions of Hepatitis C Virus F Protein (J Ou); Treatment of Hepatitis C Infection (D-S Chen & C-J Liu); The Complexities of Hepatitis C Virus Entry (J McKeating et al.).

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd From Inflammation To Cancer: Advances In
Book SynopsisInflammation and cancer are two major disorders that cause huge concerns in our society. However, what one may not know is that both diseases are closely associated and, in particular, both occur in the gastrointestinal tract and liver. This book describes the mechanics of how inflammation can progress to cancer in these organs. The authors in this book comprehensively discuss the different biomarkers for early diagnosis, and current therapeutic treatments for these diseases. All of these would allow us to better understand the pathogenesis of both diseases. As such, this book provides comprehensive information concerning the interrelationship between inflammation and cancer in a cohesive manner, and the information derived would benefit not only basic scientists but also clinicians who are working in these fields.Table of ContentsPathogenic Mechanisms of Inflammation and Cancer; Hepatitis; Inflammatory Bowel Disease; Colorectal Cancer; Mediators in Inflammation and Cancer; Interventional Radiology; Tumor Markers.
