The format presented in the "Atlas of the Liver" series focuses on presentations of photomicrographs, tables and charts supplemented by concise explanations which supplement research articles, reviews and textbooks. More is presented in this edition of the "Atlas of the Liver" about the causes and effects of fat deposition in the liver than in previous volumes. The authors of the new chapter discuss nonalcoholic fatty liver disease further emphasizing the important roles of fat in the liver. Fat in the liver has long been recognized as a constant finding in obese patients, diabetic patients, and a regular consequence of alcohol-induced liver injury. Excellent sections on bilirubin metabolism, and the management of major complications of liver disease including ascites, spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, hepatic encephalopathy and portal hypertension are presented. The characteristics and natural histories of acute viral hepatitis and the important roles of vaccination in the prevention of hepatitis A and hepatitis B are well discussed.

Peptic Ulcer Disease
Edited by F.K.L. Chan
This issue provides an extensive overview of recently published literature on peptic ulcer disease that differ in many respects from the previous issue of the Gastroenterology Clinics of North America. A collection of authorities in the field has been assembled to provide focused overviews of new scientific information in key areas. The series begins with an overview of the role of proton-pump inhibitor in the management of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Controversial issues like pre-endoscopic administration of proton-pump inhibitor and the impact of proton-pump inhibitor therapy on mortality are discussed. Recurrent bleeding and death continue to be a major problem despite advances in therapeutic endoscopy and pharmacotherapy. The authors critically reviewed predictive models of poor outcome from acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding that may identify high-risk patients for timely management. The optimal management strategy for massive peptic ulcer bleeding remains a challenge - endoscopists, surgeons, and interventional radiologists often have divergent views. Leading investigators in the field discuss the options of repeated endoscopic therapy, early surgery, and angiographic embolization in high-risk patients. Other articles provide an authoritative overview of the management of stress-ulcer in critically ill patients and the approach to refractory peptic ulcer disease. In the last decade, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and low-dose aspirin have gradually replaced Helicobacter pylori infection as the major cause of peptic ulcer disease in our aging population. Until recently, gastroenterologists and cardiologists used to have different views on strategies of preventing ulcer complications in patients requiring anti-platelet therapy. Now there is evidence that cyclo-oxygenase (COX)-2 selective and nonselective NSAIDs increase the risk of cardiothrombotic events. How to balance risks and benefits of NSAID use is an important issue for primary care doctors and rheumatologists. Experts in this field have provided critical and updated reviews on these frequently debated issues. The article entitled “Prevention of NSAID-induced ulcer: Looking to the future” provides a comprehensive update of new drugs and novel compounds that carry the potential of reducing gastrointestinal toxicity of NSAIDs. Although not widely recognized, NSAIDs can cause serious complications to the entire gastrointestinal tract. It is therefore relevant to include an updated review of NSAID-associated lower gastrointestinal complications amongst other articles on peptic ulcer disease. With a declining prevalence of H pylori, ulcers not associated with H pylori or NSAID use (non-NSAID non-H pylori ulcer) are increasingly recognized. The author provides an authoritative overview and practical approach to this diagnostic dilemma. Last but not least, a comprehensive review of the differences in peptic ulcer disease between the East and the West can hardly be found elsewhere
