Product Description
In the last decade, important progress has been achieved in the prevention of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, in particular since the introduction of 5-HT3 antagonists which, when used in combination with steroids, can assure significant protection in the majority of patients. Nonetheless, for some relevant clinical problems there still is no satisfactory answer, and there are major differences in clinical practice regarding antiemetic use. This volume contains the results of the fifth Perugia International Cancer Conference which was organized in 8 sessions, a consensus document was prepared for each session forming a useful basis for future developments.

Perugia Consensus Conference on Antiemetic Therapy

Product Description
The dissemination of cancer on peritoneal surfaces has hitherto been regarded as a terminal condition. Only a few patients with ovarian cancer — a disease where there is extreme drug sensitivity — have been maintained in a disease-free state over the long term. The tumour biology questions are as follows: Is the dissemination of cancer on peritoneal surfaces to be regarded as finite spread of malignancy, or as evidence of systematic disease? Is peritoneal carcinomatosis in selected patients a limited process that can be treated for cure, using surgery and chemotherapy? Can treatments lead to a complete resolution of the cancerous process? Most oncologists would regard peritoneal carcinomatosis as a condition that can only be palliated. This book presents the principles that support aggressive management plans with disease eradication as an end point. New technologies have emerged, bringing about this conceptual change in thinking. Technologies have been developed for complete chemotherapeutic treatment of all peritoneal surfaces. Technologies have been developed for uncovering minute foci of disease in remote portions of the abdomen. Also, new surgical and electrosurgical techniques are important aspects of this revised management plan. Even the data management tools required to quantitate improvements in treatment have been developed, and are presented here. The book shows that peritoneal carcinomatosis can be treated and that complete eradication of malignancy can occur.

This volume describes a comprehensive but simple technique for determination of the intestinal absorptive surface area in mammals of different sizes (from harvest mouse to horse). It is a treatise of research carried out by the author over 25 years in a much neglected area: morphology and morphometry of the large intestine – specifically the caecum of mammals. Over 20 species are considered, at the macroscopic and microscopic levels.

Hypertension is of particular importance to women as it increases in incidence with age and women form an increasing proportion of the elderly population. It also represents a major modifiable risk factor for coronary artery disease and stroke, the major causes of morbidity and mortality in women. It is self-evident that this major coronary risk factor can be reduced with primary and secondary prevention and by effective therapeutic means. This superb pocketbook provides the ready with excellent information on the diagnosis and management of hypertension in women.

Hypertension in Women: Pocketbook

Product Description
This book gives in depth information of the pre and post operative management of patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery, with emphasis on the care required to lessen the potential complications post operation. Patients having undergone surgery face a 10% risk of adverse reaction to the treatment and certain gastrointestinal operations have a 50% risk of postoperative complications, particularly among cancer patients. Consequently preventing complications from arising is of paramount importance. That’s what this book sets out to do.

Gastrointestinal Surgery: Step by Step Management

Product Description
Extremely diverse and complicated bacterial and protozoan populations inhabit the rumen and intestinal tract of animals, and there is a delicate balance among the individual populations within this complex microbial community. This authoritative edited volume, the first in a two-volume set, reviews the gut environment and the fermentations taking place in animal digestive tracts. It is an essential source of reference for microbial ecologists and physiologists, medical microbiologists and gastroenterologists, biochemists, nutritionists, veterinarians and animal scientists, and wildlife ecologists.

Gastrointestinal Microbiology Vol I

Product Description
Crash Course Gastroenterology reflects the way in which you deal with patients in real-life situations. First, it takes the reader through the common patient presentation associated with gastrointestinal disease and their differential diagnoses. Part II considers the history and the examination of the patient with a gastrointestinal disorder. This is followed by guidelines on how to write up a medical clerking and a consideration of the common investigations in gastroenterology. Part III takes the conditions outlined in Part I and considers them in much more detail, looking at background information and management plans. Multiple choice, short-answer and case-based questions make up Part IV and allow you to assess your understanding and test your exam performance after you have studied the text.

Gastroenterology

Product Description
New innovations in assisted reproductive technology (ART) have opened up many diverse options for the treatment of infertility. As a diagnostic tool, a combined laporoscopic and hysteroscopic examination is the optimum means of evaluating infertility. Gynaecological endoscopic surgeries have changed and improved, with the result that procedures once considered difficult are now routinely performed by laparoscopy. Further advantages include shortened post-operative hospital stay, reduced discomfort, usually lesser costs, and most importantly the ability to diagnose and treat simultaneously. This book presents descriptions of all current possible endoscopic surgical procedures in the treatment of infertility. A total of 23 chapters by expert surgeons and authors provide the latest information, divided into four sub-sections general, uterus, tubes and ovaries. The content of the book is written in a clear simple style, giving practical advice throughout, and is supported by an interactive CD-ROM of recorded surgical techniques. Endoscopy in Infertility will be an invaluable tool for the next generation of gynaecologists who will need to learn only the laporoscopic techniques requisite for surgery, as well as a reference source for endoscopic surgeons and infertility specialists. Contents: 1.Prevention and Management of Complications at Laparoscopy 2. Fertiloscopy 3. Tissue Harmonics in the Practice of Endoscopy in Infertility 4. Laparoscopic Management of Endometrioma 5. Treatment of Peritoneal and Other Endometriosis (Exclude Ovary) 6. Endoscopy in Male Infertility due to Varicoceles 7. Safety Aspects of Endoscopy 8. Endoscopic Instrumentation 9. Anesthetic Management of Endoscopic Surgeries Laparoscopy and Hysteroscopy 10. Hysteroscopic Myomectomy 11. Laparoscopic Myomectomy 12. Laparoscopic Minilap Myomectomy 13.
