Fast Facts: Diseases of the Biliary Tract and Pancreas

Reviewer: Luis R. Pena, MD, FACG, AGAF(University of Kentucky College of Medicine)
Description: This Fast Facts book on diseases of the pancreas and biliary tract is a condensed, accurate source for the training physician or general practitioner, containing the most relevant facts about the most common diseases in this field, their presentation, diagnosis, and management. It is not intended for gastroenterologists.
Purpose: The purpose is to provide a clear and simple guide for the general practitioner to the diagnosis and management of disorders of the pancreas and biliary tract. This objective is achieved well in a book that is easy to read and understand.
Audience: The authors are internationally recognized gastroenterologists with significant expertise in the subject. The book is written for physicians in training or general practitioners.
Features: The book covers the most common and relevant diseases of the pancreas and biliary systems, using a simple approach to each condition. However, it explains remarkably well some topics that are typically dry, like hereditary pancreatitis and sphincter of Oddi dysfunction, making them easy to understand and giving a precise guide for management in the clinical practice. A visually intuitive index makes it very easy to find a topic, in just a matter of seconds.
Assessment: This is a well written, easy to read, quick reference to diseases of the pancreas and biliary tract for physicians in training or general practitioners. The quality of the illustrations and tables is very good, enhancing the learning experience.

Pediatric Hematology and Oncology: Scientific Principles and Clinical Practice

Edward Estlin, "Pediatric Hematology and Oncology: Scientific Principles and Clinical Practice"
English | ISBN: 1405153504 | 2010 | 442 pages | PDF | 20 MB

This new textbook has an international authorship and is a practical, up-to-date resource for clinicians responsible for the care of children with oncologic and malignant hematologic disease. It is specifically designed for practicing oncologists and hematologists, pediatricians with an interest in childhood cancer and trainees seeking a systematic approach to these disorders. This new textbook has an emphasis on the visual presentation and ease of reading of contemporary and comprehensive information for children’s cancers and contains detailed tables, fact boxes and illustrations.

The textbook begins with an introduction to the general principles of the scientific foundation and treatment of childhood cancers and hematological malignancies. Separate sections are then devoted to descriptions of central nervous system tumors, hematological malignancies and solid tumors of childhood which encompass epidemiology, cellular and molecular biology, cancer genetics, immunology, pharmacology and the findings of clinical trials. For each area of science covered, key original references and reviews are highlighted to direct further reading.

Diagnostic, biological, and therapeutic issues are integrated into each tumor-specific chapter, with evidence supporting the current rationales for risk stratification and the development of novel therapies. A final section then explores supportive care, palliative care, late effects considerations and psychosocial issues as relate to children’s cancer.

Regenerative Nephrology

Progression of chronic diseases in general and chronic kidney disease in particular has been traditionally viewed in the light of various contributors to development of glomerulosclerosis and tubulointerstitial scarring culminating in renal fibrosis. Indeed, this dogma prevailed for decades underscoring experimental attempts to halt fibrotic processes. Breakthrough investigations of the past few years on stem/progenitor cell involvement in organ regeneration caused a conceptual shift in tackling the mechanisms of nephrosclerosis. It has become clear that the rate of progression of chronic kidney disease is the net sum of the opposing trends: degenerative fibrotic processes and regenerative repair mechanisms. The latter part of this equation has been by and large ignored for years and only recently attracted investigative attention. This book revisits the problem of kidney disease by focusing on regenerative mechanisms in renal repair and on the ways these regenerative processes can become subverted by an intrinsic disease process eventuating in its progression. Cutting-edge investigations are summarized by the most experienced international team of experts.
* Presents a comprehensive, translational source for all aspects of renal stem cells, tissue regeneration, and stem cell therapies for renal diseases in one reference work. This will ultimately result in time savings for academic, medical and pharma researchers.
* Experts in the renal stem cell system in kidney repair and regeneration take readers from the bench research to new therapeutic approaches, providing a common language for nephrology researchers, fellows and other stem cell researchers. This enables the discussion of development of stem cells and their use in the repair and regeneration of the kidney.
