  • Liver Transplantation, An Issue of Clinics in Liver Disease

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 21-2
    • Roberto J. Firpi
    • English
    Cirrhosis from hepatitis C (HCV) is now the most common indication for liver transplant (LT) in the U.S., but between 2004 and 2013, new LT listings for NASH increased by 170%. Unfortunately, fibrosis progression leading to cirrhosis, liver cancer, and liver decompensation continues to occur after transplantation. Once cirrhosis and decompensation are evident, patient survival is poor and repeat LT is considered to improve outcomes. Therefore, the never-ending thirst for new approaches in the management of patients pre- and post-transplant has led to a very promising future in transplantation, thought there is much to learn to achieve better patient outcomes. This issue of Clinics in Liver Disease addresses the core areas to achieve better patient outcomes, with articles devoted to coagulopathy before liver transplant, challenges in renal failure before LT, LT for acute alcoholic hepatitis, LT in the pregnant patient, bariatric surgery and LT,and MELD Scores in prioritization of LT, to name a few. Readers will place a high value on the current state of liver transplantation in this issue.

    Endoscopic access to the small bowel has advanced significantly since the introduction of video capsule endoscopy and deep enteroscopy in early 2000. Other major advances have occurred in imaging modalities involving computed tomography and magnetic resonance studies.

  • Obesity and Gastroenterology, An Issue of Gastroenterology Clinics of North America

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 45-4
    • Octavia Pickett-Blakely + 1 more
    • English
    In the last three decades, the prevalence of obesity has doubled with over 600 million obese adults worldwide. The gastrointestinal complications of obesity are well publicized; however, the role of the gastrointestinal tract in the development and treatment of obesity is often understated. From the pathophysiologic role of gut hormones and the microbiota, to the purposeful, anatomic derangement of the gastrointestinal tract that is utilized as a treatment for obesity, it is imperative that gastroenterologists understand the full scope of obesity in relation to the gastrointestinal system. Studies suggest that in the U.S. obesity is underrecognized and undertreated by health care providers. Given its complex sociology, pathophysiology, and treatment, obesity, like many other diseases, requires a multidisciplinary approach. Therefore, gastroenterologists must be equipped with the relevant knowledge of obesity that will empower them to properly manage their patients.

  • Endoscopy in Inflammatory Bowel Disease, An Issue of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Clinics of North America

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 26-4
    • Maria T. Abreu
    • English
    The field of inflammatory bowel disease has evolved in many ways. The first has been the revolution in medical therapy for the disease. With the advent of biologic therapy, the aspirational goal of therapy has become mucosal healing. These medications have also made it possible to avoid or delay surgery for ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Although non-invasive strategies such as MR or CT enterography or stool-based assays are helpful, they have not been able to replace the prognostic information provided by endoscopy. Simultaneously, the quality and spectrum of tools available to perform endoscopy has widened. High resolution endoscopes are now the norm and are nearly as good as chromoendoscopy for identifying dysplasia in ulcerative colitis patients. Most gastroenterologists also perform dilations but do not generally do this for patients with IBD. Finally, newer devices such as enteroscopes, endoscopic ultrasound, and endomicroscopes are being incorporated into the algorithms to diagnose and treat complications of IBD. This issue highlights all of these advances by the experts in their fields.

    Gastrointestinal (GI) cancers account for nearly 150,000 deaths each year, in the United States alone. Encouragingly, environmental risk factors, premalignant conditions, and high-risk familial kindreds are well described for many GI cancers. In this comprehensive volume on GI Neoplasia, all luminal cancers will be discussed, along with pancreas cancer, gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), carcinoid tumors, and neuroendocrine tumors. Hepatobiliary cancers are not addressed, as these tumors could form the basis of a separate volume. Articles are organized to address several key topics for each cancer type, such as: public health burden, molecular pathways, risk and protective factors, early detection, clinical evaluation, management, and survivorship.

    • French
    L’ouvrage de référence pour les manipulateurs La complexité technique, la spécialisation et l’émergence de nouveaux champs de compétences créent un important besoin d’apprentissage et de formation pour les manipulateurs d’électroradiologie médicale (MERM). Cet ouvrage leur propose ainsi le premier livre de référence complet sur les technologies de l’imagerie médicale et de la radiothérapie. Il est désormais reconnu par tous comme indispensable. Toutes les techniques y sont abordées (radiologie de projection, échographie, TDM, IRM). Pour chacune, les auteurs développent : les bases physiques et technologiques, les principes d’acquisition, les produits de contraste, le problème des artéfacts et les critères de qualité. La radiothérapie externe, la médecine nucléaire et la radioprotection font l’objet de développements spécifiques. Remarquablement pédagogique, cet ouvrage offre la possibilité d’une lecture à deux niveaux : - rapide, uniquement sur des éléments essentiels (grâce aux encadrés, aux synthèses, aux tableaux et à la mise en évidence des mots clés mis en gras) ; - plus approfondie, sur des notions plus complexes (grâce à des développements « pour aller plus loin », toujours accompagnés d’exemples pour mieux comprendre). Une centaine de figures nouvelles, dont un grand nombre de dessins particulièrement didactiques, illustrent le propos. Cet ouvrage est indispensable pour tous les étudiants MERM (DE et DTS), tout au long de leurs trois années de formation initiale. Cette seconde édition, entièrement révisée, correspond totalement au niveau de connaissances exigé par le référentiel de formation. Les professionnels en activité y trouveront également les fondements à connaître, soit pour entreprendre une spécialisation ou un changement de spécialité, soit pour actualiser les connaissances, en marge de leur exercice professionnel, dans l’esprit du décloisonnement. Jean-Philippe Dillenseger, Elisabeth Moerschel et Claudine Zorn sont enseignants en imagerie médicale et radiologie thérapeutique au lycée Jean-Rostand de Strasbourg

  • Alcoholic Liver Disease, An Issue of Clinics in Liver Disease

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 20-3
    • Stanley Cohen
    • English
    Alcohol abuse remains a significant problem world-wide. The most commonly affected organ remains the liver with a risk of alcoholic liver disease (ALD) which can range from asymptomatic to alcoholic hepatitis to alcoholic cirrhosis. In 2010, alcohol-attributable cirrhosis was responsible for 0.9% of all global deaths. Given the sheer magnitude of alcohol abuse and alcoholic liver disease, an update on this topic is pertinent and relevant. This issue will focus on a variety of topics including alcoholism, the pathogenesis of ALD, the spectrum of ALD, the pathology of ALD, and the long-term management of patients with ALD. Alcoholic hepatitis is a particular type of ALD with a high mortality. This issue will explore the syndrome of alcoholic hepatitis, its prognostic markers, and the available therapies. Because alcohol intake can influence so many other conditions of the liver (especially hepatitis C), articles in this issue will also explore the impact of alcohol abuse on other liver conditions. In addition, several other topics such as nutritional therapy for ALD, ALD and liver cancer, and ALD and infection risk will be explored. Also, even though it is quite controversial, we will also explore liver transplant as a therapy for alcoholic liver disease including alcoholic hepatitis.

    Due to the current obesity epidemic, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is prevalent in a significant portion of the United States patient population. It is being increasingly recognized that NAFLD affects both adults and children and can progress to end stage liver disease with resultant cirrhosis, portal hypertension, and hepatocellular carcinoma. In addition, several extrahepatic conditions may be linked to NAFLD including cardiovascular disease, insulin requiring and type 2 diabetes mellitus, obstructive sleep apnea, colonic adenomas, hyperuricemia, vitamin D deficiency, hyperferritinemia, pancreatic steatosis, hypothyroidism, and polycystic ovarian syndrome.
