Gastroenterology

Over the last two decades, there have been major advances in imaging, endoscopy, and laparoscopy in the field of gastrointestinal (GI) surgery. GI surgery is the newest sub-specialty branch of general surgery, where enhanced expertise and high-volume centres have made a difference in the outcomes of complex operations. Surgeons can now perform difficult procedures with low morbidity and mortality rates, and greatly improved overall results. This volume provides detailed and up-to-date information on diseases of the duodenum and small intestine. It covers anatomy and physiology, paediatric and adult disease, benign, infectious and neoplastic disease, and surgical techniques. Written and edited by international experts in the field, this book will be a valuable resource for duodenum and small intestine surgeons and trainees, general surgeons, researchers, and medical students.

Around a quarter of the world's population is affected by iron deficiency, and women of childbearing age as well as children and adolescents are considered a particular risk group. This reference book deals with the latest scientific findings concerning the iron supply of the human organism with natural foods. It dispels the misconception that plant iron is less valuable than animal iron by presenting the absorption of iron from plant foods via a newly discovered metabolic pathway. From this, new points of view can be derived for vegetarians and vegans, who until now have belonged to the risk group. Furthermore, it is dedicated to forward-looking possibilities of diagnosing iron deficiency and describes modern concepts for determining the bioavailability of iron in food. New findings on the biochemistry of iron in brain metabolism, the description of the different reference values of the international professional societies and practical advice for special diets, risk groups and age groups as well as cooking recipes with simple information on iron intake complete the work. The book is aimed at nutritionists and medical practitioners, nutrition and food scientists, dieticians, pharmacists and sports scientists.

Das Thema des ersten Teils sind die Mikroben und wie sich das Wissen um sie seit ihrer Entdeckung um 1674 und damit die Vorstellung der Menschen über die Welt, in der sie leben, durch diese Einsichten verändert hat. Der zweite Teil befaßt sich mit unserem Immunsystem, das uns jeden Tag unseres Lebens nicht nur vor krankmachenden Keimen, sondern auch vor vielen anderen Gefahren beschützt. Der dritte Teil beschreibt die Entdeckung und Erforschung unserer Gene, wie sich das Wissen um sie auf uns und die Menschheit ausgewirkt hat - und noch auswirkt - und wie sie unser tägliches Leben beeinflussen. Meine Überzeugung ist, dass das Wissen darum, wie unser Körper und jede einzelne der Zellen darin funktionieren, einen großen Beitrag dazu leisten kann, dass wir gesund bleiben und sogar heilen. Was wir auch daraus lernen können, ist, dass dieses Wissen sich durch immer neue Erkenntnisse stetig verändert - wie eine grenzenlose Reise.

This book provides a novel method to teach eponymically named physical signs of the alimentary tract and intrabdominal organs. The focus is on the historical aspect of the named signs, how to perform the sign described by the author, and the pathophysiologic mechanisms involved in eliciting a positive test. The goal is to guide the reader to appreciate how these bedside signs provide a more profound understanding of the mechanism of disease. By doing so, they become more than simply rote memorization but an appreciation of how a direct hands-on assessment involving observing, engaging, listening, and touching the patient assists in diagnosis. Hence, these techniques provided the additional benefit of better connecting the practitioner to the patients and maintaining the art of medicine, which is rapidly losing its foothold within the medical community. This book will serve as a teaching tool for learners, teachers, and practicing physicians to preserve the artof the physical examination using a form of a case-based teaching and learning style approach. Illustrations throughout the text provide a visual representation of how to perform the sign. The authors believe this method of teaching and learning is more meaningful to the student in that they will be able to associate the name with the person's historical features, the sign, and its pathophysiologic mechanism(s). Gastrointestinal Eponymic Signs is a must-have resource for medical students, residents, fellows, teaching faculty, and any practicing physician seeking to understand how physical examination signs assist in diagnosis.
