The Liver: Biology and Pathobiology 5th edition

In its Fifth Edition, this classic book retains its traditional strength of relating molecular physiology to understanding disease pathology and treatment as it explores the current state and future direction of hepatology.

Painstakingly revised, this edition includes 60 new chapters. As in previous editions, a section called Horizons summarizes advances of extraordinary nature in areas expected to have a substantial impact on hepatology. The Fifth Edition’s Horizons section includes emerging topics such as tissue engineering of the liver, liver-directed gene therapy, decoding the liver cancer genome, and imaging cellular proteins and structure.
To preserve essential background information which has not changed while making room for the panoply of major new contributions to understanding of liver disease, 14 chapters from the previous edition are freely available online at gastrohep.com.   To view these chapters visit – http://www.gastrohep.com/theliver/

Hepatology and Transplant Hepatology: A Case Based Approach

Hepatology and Transplant Hepatology: A Case Based Approach
Springer; 1st Edition. edition (29 Nov 2010) | ISBN: 1441970843 1441970851 | 440 pages | PDF | 13 MB
Hepatology and Transplant Hepatology: A Case Based Approach presents a collection of interesting cases in liver disease seen at a very busy and large liver transplant center in the United States. These cases cover the full range of pathology that an internist or gastroenterologist may expect to see in a lifetime of taking care of patients with acute or chronic liver disease, before or after liver transplant. Each case is presented as you would see it in a clinical situation where a patient presents a complaint or something is noted on exam or blood work. The question/answer format will help one through the problem of making a diagnosis or in considering a differential diagnosis and also point to the best way to manage each condition. The volume is divided into pre-transplant and post-transplant hepatology. Each case is 3 pages with the first page presenting the case and pertinent lab data and 3-4 questions (i.e. differential diagnosis, tests to order, x-rays/CT required).The second page illustrates the tests, scans, biopsies and asks for the pertinent findings. The third page provides the diagnosis and what may have been expected with other diagnoses. Here is a single source dealing with questions specific for patients with complications of advanced liver disease and also clinical situations seen in transplant hepatology. Hepatology and Transplant Hepatology: A Case Based Approach will have great appeal to anyone in hepatology/transplant hepatology and also to residents/fellows and internists interested in gastroenterology.

Focal Liver Lesions: Detection, Characterization, Ablation

 

 

Focal Liver Lesions: Detection, Characterization, Ablation
Springer Berlin Heidelberg | January 14, 2010 | ISBN-10: 3642084141 | 420 pages | PDF | 32MB

Few fields of medicine have witnessed such impressive progress as the diagnosis and treatment of liver tumors. Advances in imaging technology, the development of novel contrast agents, and the introduction of optimized scanning protocols have greatly facilitated the non-invasive detection and characterization of focal liver lesions. Furthermore, image-guided techniques for percutaneous tumor ablation have become an accepted alternative treatment for patients with inoperable liver cancer. This book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the role of diagnostic and interventional radiology in respect of liver tumors. The volume moves from background sections on methodology and segmental liver anatomy to the main sections on the diagnosis of benign and malignant liver lesions. An integrated approach, focused on the correlation of ultrasound, CT, and MR imaging findings, is presented. Finally, a full section describes the principles, methods, and results of percutaneous tumor ablation techniques.

The Encyclopedia of Hepatitis And Other Liver Diseases

James H. Chow, Cheryl Chow, "The Encyclopedia of Hepatitis And Other Liver Diseases"
Facts on File | 2006 | ISBN: 0816057109 | 372 pages | PDF | 2 MB

Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver brought on by viral infections, autoimmune diseases, alcohol abuse, exposure to toxins, or other causes. It is most commonly associated with viral hepatitis, which occurs in several different types, but it has also been linked to forms of cancer and other serious medical conditions such as cirrhosis. Liver-related health problems are a growing concern. As many as four million Americans could be infected with some form of hepatitis C, the most common chronic infection in the United States, without even knowing it. Cirrhosis is the seventh most common cause of death in the United States. "The Encyclopedia of Hepatitis and Other Liver Diseases" is a comprehensive guide to recognizing and understanding these medical conditions. Entries cover symptoms, treatments, research, tests, social issues, and much more. Its appendixes include lists of resources and statistics. Its entries include artificial and bio-artificial livers, cirrhosis, drug-induced hepatitis, fulminant hepatitis, hepatitis, liver cancer, liver transplantation, portal hypertension, primary biliary cirrhosis, primary sclerosing cholangitis, shock liver, and xenotransplantation.

Hepatitis (Deadly Diseases and Epidemics)

"Hepatitis (Deadly Diseases and Epidemics)" by Lyle W. Horn
Chelsea House Publications | 128 pages | English | 2005 | ISBN: 0791083780 | PDF | 2,4 MB

It is estimated that more than 500 million people throughout the world are infected with one of the six kinds of hepatitis viruses. Although hepatitis can be fatal, many people who are infected never show symptoms and don't realize they have the virus. This fact makes it easy for people to unknowingly spread the disease to others, especially through sexual contact. This book examines each of the six hepatitis viruses, focusing on how they cause infection, how they spread from one person to another, how they reproduce, and how our body's immune system tries to fight them. Also discussed are the ways that hepatitis-which has no cure-may be prevented or treated. Infectious diseases affect everyone. Although not all are fatal, each disease causes a degree of harm and discomfort to those that it afflicts, and can sometimes have long-lasting consequences. Each book in the series Deadly Diseases and Epidemics takes the reader through all aspects of infectious diseases-from the history of the disease and its method of infection, to its treatment and prevention. The books provide a foundation for understanding the basics of microbiology, immunology, and epidemiology.
