Targeted Therapies in Oncology

Targeted Therapies in Oncology
Informa Healthcare | 2007-09-25 | ISBN: 084939371X | 424 pages | PDF | 5,2 Mb

Targeted therapy is one of the most burgeoning areas of development in cancer research. Increasing knowledge in tumor formation and growth at the molecular level has generated a broad array of therapeutic options, including signal transduction inhibition, anti-angiogenic and anti-vascular agents, cell cycle inhibitors, telomerase and telomere interacting agents, apoptosis inducers, and anti-invasive agents. This book presents an authoritative overview of existing molecular targeted therapies, their relevance and role for specific tumors, and their clinical efficacy and impact on patient treatment.

Cleft Lip and Palate: From Origin to Treatment

Cleft Lip and Palate: From Origin to Treatment
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA | Pages: 548 | 2002-08-01 | ISBN: 0195139062 | CHM | 32 MB

Majoradvances in the diagnosis and treatment of oral clefts have been made in the past 50 years, and recent genetics and epidemiological studies have led to new theories about the causes of cleft lip and palate. Addressing issues that are relevant to clinicians, researchers and family
members, this book is a comprehensive, well-illustrated, and up-to-date account of the many facets of this common disorder. The authors describe the embryological and molecular mechanisms of cleft causation, present and illustrate the genetic and epidemiological methods used to identify risk
factors for oral clefts, and describe treatments by the various professionals of the cleft team. A section is also devoted to the integration of research findings into public health practice, including ethical and financial considerations. The book draws together such diverse disciplines as
craniofacial development, gene mapping, epidemiology, medicine, ethics, health economics, and health policy and management, and it will be an invaluable reference work.

Nutrition in Gastrointestinal Illness:an issue of gastroenterology clinics of north america

Nutrition in Gastrointestinal Illness:an issue of gastroenterology clinics of north america
VOLUME 36 NUMBER 1 march 2007
Nutrition is a significant part of gastroenterology. Nutrient assimilation
involves all aspects of the gastrointestinal tract. Salivary glands are involved
in digestion.
In this issue of Gastroenterology Clinics of North America, devoted to nutrition,
Dr. DeLegee describes the nutrition assessment. At a minimum, a brief nutritional
assessment should be performed on every patient seen by a gastroenterologist.
Patients with moderate to severe malnutrition are at increased risk for
inpatient and periprocedural morbidity and mortality

Advances in Abdominal Wall Hernia Repair

Surgical Clinics of North America
Volume 88, Issue 1, Pages 1-222 (February 2008)
Advances in Abdominal Wall Hernia Repair
Edited by K.M.F. Itani, M. Hawn
In the field of general surgery, hernia surgery remains the most common
surgical procedure performed, with inguinal hernias leading the pack. While
surgeons spent the early part of the twentieth century improving the technique
of primary repair, the latter half was focused on developing techniques
of mesh repair, minimizing incisions, and maximizing comfort. As
in the majority of studies in general surgery, most hernia reports were observational,
retrospective, single center or single surgeon studies. It has not
been until the last 10 years that well planned, prospective randomized trials
have started to emerge, providing higher level evidence for the practice of
hernia surgery. Despite these clinical trials, there is still no final consensus
on timing of treatment, technique to be used, material, and mesh position.

Obstetrics and Gynecology for the General Surgeon

Obstetrics and Gynecology for the General Surgeon
Surgical Clinics of North America
Volume 88, Issue 2, Pages 223-450 (April 2008)
Obstetrics and Gynecology for the General Surgeon
Edited by C.S. Dietrich

This issue of the Surgical Clinics of North America is dedicated to the general
surgeon who, at some point in his or her career, is likely to encounter
a gynecologic surgical condition, be asked to operate on an obstetrical
patient, or be urgently consulted for intraoperative assistance with a gynecologic
procedure. In these scenarios, the general surgeon can play a critical
role in the treatment team and will often be relied upon for surgical expertise.
To provide the best support, however, basic knowledge in pelvic anatomy
and gynecologic disease processes should be well understood.
The origins of surgery, gynecology, and obstetrics can be traced to antiquity.
During the last two centuries, these fields have been intimately
intertwined, with pioneers practicing in both arenas simultaneously. Discoveries
and improved surgical techniques were mutually beneficial, as they had
applications in both fields. As techniques and anesthesia were further developed,
some surgeons began operating exclusively in the pelvis. By the turn of
the twentieth century, Johns Hopkins Hospital started training physicians
dedicated solely to practicing gynecology. Since then, the two fields have
had divergent courses, and on a day-to-day basis general surgeons and obstetricians
or gynecologists have limited interactions.

Gastrointestinal Motility Disorders,an issue of gastroenterology clinics of north america

Gastrointestinal Motility Disorders,an issue of gastroenterology clinics of north america
CONTENTS VOLUME 36 NUMBER 3 SEPTEMBER 2007
This issue of Gastroenterology Clinics of North America focuses on an important
area in gastroenterology for both clinicians and researchers: neurogastroenterology
and gastrointestinal (GI) motility disorders. GI motility
and functional GI disorders are common reasons for patients to see physicians.
Knowledge of GI motility disorders, including the evaluation and treatment of
these disorders, is important for gastroenterologists, clinicians, and health care
providers to appropriately care for these frequently seen patients in clinical
practice.
Gastrointestinal motility can be defined as motor activity in the digestive tract
that mixes ingested food with digestive juices and moves luminal contents of
the gastrointestinal tract in an aboral direction from the mouth toward the
anus. A better understanding of the pathophysiology of GI motility disorders
has revealed a crucial role of the enteric, autonomic, and central nervous system.
In fact, the term neurogastroenterology was introduced in the early 1990s to
account for the study of these processes. As with any new term, there was resistance
to its introduction. The breakthrough came when the editorial board of
the Journal of Gastrointestinal Motility changed its name to Neurogastroenterology and
Motility in 1994. The European Society changed its name in 1996; recently, the
American Society became the American Neurogastroenterology and Motility
Society, and the International Group became the International Society of Neurogastroenterology

The link will be active for about one month from today.
this issue of the Surgical Oncology Clinics of North America is divided into two parts. The first part deals with hepatocellular carcinoma, and the second part emphasizes hepatic metastasis with a main focus on colorectal carcinoma. There is a tremendous
amount of information in both parts; therefore, this issue should serve
as a reference for trainees and attending staff. Although the oncologic arena
is changing monthly and sometimes weekly in view of the exploding genetics
and targeted therapy in oncology, areas such as pathology and anatomy
remain stable.
