Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The branch of medicine concerned with the functioning of the digestive system along with the disorders affecting it, is known as gastroenterology. Hepatology is concerned with the functioning of the liver, pancreas, gallbladder and biliary tree. It studies the diseases and disorders related to them. Hepatology and gastroenterology are closely related fields of medicine. Colonoscopy, endoscopy, endoscopic ultrasound, liver biopsy are some of the common diagnostic and therapeutic procedures performed by gastroenterologists. This book unfolds the innovative aspects of gastroenterology, which will be crucial for the progress of this field in the future. It also unravels the recent studies in the field of hepatology. This book is a vital tool for all researching or studying gastroenterology and hepatology as it gives incredible insights into emerging trends.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hepatology is a field of medicine which studies the pathologies of the liver, including their management and diagnosis. Hepatic disease or liver disease causes damage to the liver. They are majorly caused by viral or parasitic infections, alcohol overconsumption, obesity and metabolic syndrome, genetics and genetic disorders, etc. Certain signs of liver disease are jaundice, coagulopathy and thrombocytopenia, confusion and altered consciousness, ascites and bleeding symptoms. The assessment of the liver is possible through a variety of liver function tests. Imaging allows the examination of liver tissue and bile ducts. Ultrasound, transient elastography and magnetic resonance imaging are used to assess the condition. Liver biopsy is another definitive diagnostic test for liver disease. The treatment of each liver disease requires a unique therapeutic modality. Antiviral medications are generally prescribed for the treatment of hepatitis B. Steroid-based drugs are useful in autoimmune hepatitis, while venesection is a routine procedure in hemochromatosis. This book discusses the fundamentals as well as modern approaches of hepatology. It unfolds the innovative aspects of hepatology which will be crucial for the progress in the understanding and management of liver diseases. The extensive content of this book provides the readers with a thorough understanding of the subject.

This book was released on 2009-12-01 with total page 515 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Signaling Pathways in Liver Diseases, 2nd edition focuses on signaling pathways which are particularly important in liver diseases. Recent progress brought hepatology to new frontiers. The increasing frequency of surgery on steatotic and cirrhotic liver obliges liver surgeons and hepatologists to understand the molecular mechanisms at play in these situations and how they can be influenced. Better comprehension of the cellular mechanisms participating in liver regeneration, hepato-cellular apoptosis and ischemia/reperfusion inquiry is mirrored by a dramatic increase in complexity. The number and scope of publications is intimidating and difficult for busy individuals to extract a coherent framework. This book will serve as a source of information facilitating the reading of the literature and the planning of trials. Translational medicine implies knowledge of the molecular targets for novel therapeutic strategies. It will furthermore stimulate more research and lead to better exchange between the laboratory, the clinical ward and the operation room.
