Zustand: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | Over the last few decades, remarkable progress has been made in understanding the aetiology and pathophysiology of diseases and many new theories emphasize the importance of the small bowel 'ecosystem' in the pathogenesis of acute and chronic illness. Emerging factors such as microbiome, stem cells, innate intestinal immunity and the enteric nervous system along with mucosal and endothelial barriers have key role in the development of gastrointestinal and extra-intestinal diseases. Therefore, the small intestine is considered key player in metabolic disease development, including diabetes mellitus, and other diet-related disorders such as celiac and non-celiac enteropathies. Another major field is drug metabolism and its interaction with microbiota. Moreover, the emergence of gut-brain, gut-liver and gut-blood barriers points toward the important role of small intestine in the pathogenesis of common disorders, such as liver disease, hypertension and neurodegenerative disease. However, the small bowel remains an organ that is difficult to fully access and assess and accurate diagnosis often poses a clinical challenge. Eventually, the therapeutic potential remains untapped. Therefore, it is due time to direct our interest towards the small intestine and unravel the interplay between small-bowel and other gastrointestinal (GI) and non-GI related maladies.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book is the first dedicated to the colon capsule endoscopy (CCE). It offers a a-state-of-the-art description of all aspects of the procedure, including performance in detecting colorectal lesions and other non-neoplastic pathology as developed over the last decade through extensive clinical research. The CCE is now viewed as a diagnostic test for the colorectum equal to conventional colonoscopy and computer tomography colonography (CTC). An increasing number of studies have shown challenges that need to be addressed to improve the adoption of CCE, including optimizing bowel preparations and pre-selection of patients to improve completion rates and lower re-investigation rates.All chapters are written by worldwide experts of CCE, and accompanied by illustrative pictures of the normal anatomy as depicted by CCE and pathological findings with a particular focus on neoplastic lesions. The volume is completed by videos of colon capsule endoscopies including normal anatomy, common colorectal lesions as viewed by camera capsules and common pitfalls. A test on essential issues and take-home messages are included in the final chapter. This handy volume is aimed at health care providers involved in CCE and researchers and medical students at all levels who need a thorough introduction to CCE and which gaps are striving for further research.
