Book Synopsis Diagnostic Procedures in Pancreatic Disease by : Peter Malfertheiner
Download or read book Diagnostic Procedures in Pancreatic Disease written by Peter Malfertheiner and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development and improvement of new technologies have made pancreatic disease more accessible to diagnosis in the last decade. The cooperation and coordination of experts in the fields of gastro enterology, radiology, biochemistry, immunology, and pathology are necessary if the methods are to be made available and the progress made to be fully exploited. Each of the new methods requires special training, and extensive experience is needed to guarantee high standards in the diagnosis of pancreatic disease. New methods have to be tested carefully against established diagnostic procedures, though at the same time we must be ready to adopt a new approach to diagnosis. The aim of this book is to update the material already published and to focus on the various imaging methods and functional tests currently available, the features specific for each, and their integrative potential in the detection of pancreatic disease. The various pathologic findings are analyzed with reference to the clinical stages of pancreatic disease. As an introduction to the morphological and functional features of acute pancreatitis, chronic pancreatitis, and pancreatic cancer revealed by the different imaging methods and functional tests, basic knowledge of the patho-physiological and pathomorphological events is provided by research workers. This knowledge is essential for the understanding and interpretation of the diagnostic findings recorded in pancreatic diseases.
Book Synopsis IgG4-Related Sclerosing Cholangitis by : Terumi Kamisawa
Download or read book IgG4-Related Sclerosing Cholangitis written by Terumi Kamisawa and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-07-31 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to raise awareness of IgG4-related sclerosing cholangitis among practicing physicians and to equip readers with a sound understanding of the principles of diagnosis and treatment. Clinical, serological, and histopathological features are clearly described and imaging appearances on all relevant modalities are illustrated, covering the bile duct and other involved organs. Differential diagnosis from other diseases, including primary sclerosing cholangitis and cholangiocarcinoma, is precisely explained. Information is then presented on all significant current and emerging therapeutic strategies, including steroids, immunosuppressive drugs, and rituximab. Finally, attention is drawn to significant prognostic features. While IgG4-related sclerosing cholangitis is now a widely acknowledged condition, most practitioners are still liable to misdiagnose it owing to a lack of familiarity with its presenting features. This book should help to rectify the situation and will be an asset for all who may encounter the disease in clinical practice.
Book Synopsis Pancreatobiliary Diseases by : Nadine van Huijgevoort
Download or read book Pancreatobiliary Diseases written by Nadine van Huijgevoort and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the last decades, knowledge on pancreatic diseases has rapidly evolved. The founding of both the Dutch Pancreatitis Study Group and the Dutch Pancreatic Cancer Group (DPCG) have contributed significantly to improve diagnosis and treatment in pancreatic diseases. However, much still remains to be investigated, especially in patients with (pre) malignant pancreatic lesions. The general aim of this thesis is to further improve the understanding of (pre)malignant pancreatobiliary diseases as well as to further improve clinical outcome of patients suffering from these diseases. The first part of this thesis focuses on diagnosis and clinical decision making in patients with pancreatic cystic neoplasms (PCN). In the second part of this thesis, the research focuses on improving diagnostics and outcome in pancreatic cancer and periampullary cancer."--

Download or read book Management of Pancreatic Diseases, An Issue of Gastroenterology Clinics of North America written by Nuzhat A. Ahmad and published by Elsevier Health Sciences. This book was released on 2016-02-19 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This issue details the latest knowledge of early diagnosis, risk factors, limited surgical treatments, and novel therapies for pancreatic diseases. Clinicians will learn the most prognostic scoring systems for acute pancreatitis, review the basics for early management of the disease, and see how current practice guidelines have evolved. Advances in radiological imaging when applied to the pancreas have resulted in enhanced staging and improved selection for surgical intervention. Endoscopy of the pancreas via both ERCP and endoscopic ultrasound has led to unprecedented access and potential for non-operative intervention. Pancreatic surgery now takes advantage of both minimally invasive approaches and techniques learned from organ transplantation. These latest advances are addressed in this issue by key opinion leaders.

Book Synopsis Radiology of the Pancreas by : P. C. Freeny
Download or read book Radiology of the Pancreas written by P. C. Freeny and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our knowledge and understanding of pancreatic diseases has advanced tremendously in the past decade. Clinical and laboratory diagnosis has become increasingly sophisticated, the array of new radiologic and endoscopic mo dalities is vast, and the effectiveness of medical and surgical management of pancreatic diseases has greatly improved. The impetus for these advances has arisen in part from an increasing awareness of the prevalence of acute and chronic pancreatitis, and perhaps more importantly from the steadily increasing incidence of pancreatic carcinoma. Radiology has emerged from this spectrum as a keystone of diagnostic evaluation. Interventional radiology, an important nonsurgical alternative for patient management, has become almost a field unto itself. The wide variety of available diagnostic and interventional radiologic techniques has made the radiologist an important member of the phYSician team managing patients with pancreatic disease. Consequently, the radiologist must be familiar not only with his own specialty, but also with those of his medical and surgical colleagues. For this reason, and because there is a need for a current text presenting the state-of-the-art of pancreatic radiology, this book was conceived. Radiology of the Pancreas is more than just a monograph of imaging techniques. Its goal is to provide a comprehensive understanding of each facet of pancreatic disease for radiologists, clinicians, and surgeons so that they may interact in appropriate and meaningful ways in the evaluation of their patients.

Book Synopsis Clinical Pancreatology for Practising Gastroenterologists and Surgeons by : Juan Enrique Dominguez-Munoz
Download or read book Clinical Pancreatology for Practising Gastroenterologists and Surgeons written by Juan Enrique Dominguez-Munoz and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2021-03-17 with total page 752 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clinical Pancreatology Since the book Clinical Pancreatology for Practising Gastroenterologists and Surgeons was first published sixteen years ago, the knowledge and clinical management of pancreatic diseases have developed markedly. Thanks to the development of the translational research and the from bench to bedside concept, much progress from the lab has been applied to clinical practice. In addition, several highly relevant clinical trials published over the last years have resulted in the update and optimisation of clinical guidelines. A new and validated classification of severity and complications of acute pancreatitis is firmly rooted in clinical practice and has been the basis for the development of minimally invasive approaches to pancreatic necrosis. The etiopathogenic knowledge of chronic pancreatitis and other pancreatopaties, like that associated with diabetes mellitus, has developed significantly. Especially important has been the development of the field of cystic pancreatic tumours, which has been reflected in the publication of several guidelines and consensus reports over the last few years. Most research efforts have focused on pancreatic cancer, which have led and will further lead to a significant increase in the therapeutic armamentarium against this devastating disease. Finally, many newly published studies have changed the concept, causes, clinical relevance, diagnosis and treatment of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. This new edition of Clinical Pancreatology for Practising Gastroenterologists and Surgeons has enjoyed the collaboration of the world’s leading experts in each of the areas of clinical pancreatology with the aim of facilitating gastroenterologists, surgeons, oncologists, internists, nutritionists, diabetologists, paediatricians, radiologists, pathologists and other specialists in their decision making when facing patients with pancreatic diseases in their daily clinical practice. All in all, this book supplies an indispensable update of the relevant aspects of clinical pancreatology.
Book Synopsis Pancreatic Disease by : Colin D Johnson
Download or read book Pancreatic Disease written by Colin D Johnson and published by Springer. This book was released on 2011-01-14 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clem Imrie and Colin Johnson This book stems from an unusual meeting held in The Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow in March 2007. Enthusiastic doctors in the diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic diseases were arranged in small groups to discuss specific unsolved/partially clinical problems and suggest the way forward. In some instances, the recommendations were initial improved longitudinal studies, while in others better double-blind randomized st- ies. The recommendations were then presented on the second day before the total 40 plus participants who added their input. Finally, the mechanics of initiating the proposals were arranged. The editors are most thankful to the authors from the meeting, who have ass- bled the various contributions to this stimulating volume. xi Part I Potential Trials in Acute Pancreatitis Chapter 1 Acute Pancreatitis in Intensive Care John Kinsella, Barry Clements, Euan Dickson, Thierry Dugernier, and Martin Hughes 1.1 Intr oduction Severe acute pancreatitis is associated with the development of the systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS). Hypoxemia is a hallmark of acute pancreatitis and respiratory failure is the most common single organ failure in this disease. In the most severely ill patients mul- organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) and multi-organ failure (MOF) occur. Intensive care with multiple organ support is necessary.
Book Synopsis Pancreatitis and Its Complications by : Chris E. Forsmark
Download or read book Pancreatitis and Its Complications written by Chris E. Forsmark and published by Humana. This book was released on 2010-11-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diseases of the pancreas have been extremely difficult to study. Until relatively recently, the pancreas was viewed by surgeons as an organ to be avoided, given its deep retroperitoneal location and the sometimes severe consequences of manipulation. Similar difficulties have plagued careful study of the pancreas. In humans, only inf- quently have we had the opportunity to evaluate the evolution of d- eases of the pancreas; instead, we are confronted with end-stage chronic pancreatitis or acute pancreatitis with extensive necrosis of the gland. Within the past decade, revolutionary techniques in molecular biology, genetics, and animal models have begun to give us dramatic new insights into pancreatic disease. Coupled with these advances has been a slow but steady progress in the development of our clinical tools for diagnosing and treating pancreatic diseases. These advances place us on the threshold of a much more complete understanding of pancreatic diseases, opening up new opportunities for novel therapies and preventive measures. Pancreatitis and Its Complications brings together many of the world’s experts in pancreatic diseases. These “pancreatologists” include basic scientists, endoscopists, gastroenterologists, and surgeons. The ch- ters have been organized to provide a comprehensive discussion of acute and chronic pancreatitis, with up-to-date discussions of pat- physiology, epidemiology, diagnostic strategies, treatment, and c- plications of disease. It is hoped that this text will serve as a useful reference for clinicians as well as provide a clinical background for scientists with an interest in pancreatic or related diseases.
