Yamada: Atlas of Gastroenterology 4th Edition

Among the most important developments in clinical medicine in recent years has been the rapid advancement in imaging technologies. These technologies allow clinicians to gain better insight into the pathophysiological processes underlying their patients’ illnesses. The practice of gastroenterology, perhaps more than any other in medicine, is a visual one and has been enriched by such advances. Modalities such as endoscopy, double-contrast radiography, computed tomography, isotopic scintigraphy, ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging, and positron emission tomography have facilitated greatly the approach to diagnosing gastrointestinal disorders. The imaging of tissues using standard microscopy has been augmented with newer methodologies such as immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization, and confocal microscopy, not to mention even more experimental techniques. While we have included descriptions of these advances in the Textbook of Gastroenterology, the old adage that “a picture is worth a thousand words” could not be more applicable to anything other than to the teaching of gastroenterology. With this in mind, we have endeavored to provide the fourth edition of the Atlas of Gastroenterology with additional graphic material that enhances the reader’s understanding of the written material in the Textbook.

The fourth edition of the Atlas expands on the material presented in the third edition by the addition of figures to existing chapters and by the addition of chapters covering new subject matter. The written text in the Atlas provides only an abbreviated introduction to the graphic material, and the reader is referred to the Textbook for more detailed information. Although the Atlas is meant to be especially useful to the reader of the Textbook, the quality of many of the figures is unique and not to be found readily in existing publications. Thus, we hope that the Atlas will serve as a valuable educational resource for all readers, independent of their familiarity with the Textbook.

 

We are delighted to welcome Tony Kalloo to the editorial team for the fourth edition of the Atlas of Gastroenterology. His hands-on experience in the most modern procedural techniques of gastroenterology, in addition to his broad understanding of the discipline, have added immensely to this edition.

We are most pleased as well to have a new publisher, Wiley-Blackwell, for this edition. Their keen insight into the publishing industry and the way in which textbooks are utilized today has been the basis for some of the changes made to the Atlas. In addition, their knowledge of the international world of medicine will help us to distribute the contents of the Atlas to a global audience. The editors would like especially to thank Elisabeth Dodds at Wiley-Blackwell, whose commitment to excellence has contributed materially to the quality of the book, and Alison Brown and Oliver Walter, without whose assistance this fourth edition of the Atlas would not have been published.

Our efforts were especially facilitated by the expert assistance of Lori Ennis and Barbara Boughen, who collaborated as a team, complementing editorial talents with interpersonal skills to maintain the high quality of the text and deliver the manuscripts in a timely fashion. The editors are indebted to their administrative and secretarial assistants, Patricia Lai, Terri Astin, Jennifer Mayes, Sue Sparrow, Patty Pool, Gracie Bernal-Muñoz, and Maria L. Vidrio. In addition, the faculty and fellows of the Gastroenterology Divisions at the University of Michigan, Washington University in St. Louis, and the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston provided valuable assistance in reviewing the chapters in the third edition of the Atlas in preparation for this, the fourth edition.

Wyllie: Pediatric Gastrointestinal and Liver Disease 4th Edition (Expert Consult Series)

We are proud of the Fourth Edition of Pediatric Gastrointestinal and Liver Disease. We have been able to attract a talented roster of international experts who have ably updated many of the chapters where new information arises at a rapid pace. The book continues to be organized into distinct sections starting with basic aspects of gastrointestinal function, followed by common clinical problems, organ-specific diseases, surgical procedures, and gastrointestinal procedures. The last three sections of the book focus on liver disease, pancreatic disease, and nutritional issues. We have added or expanded chapters in emerging areas such as endoscopic procedures and transplantation, including not only liver transplantation, but also small bowel and pancreatic transplantation, in addition to such topics as polyposis syndromes, liver diseases with a genetic etiology, and nonalcoholic fatty liver diseases.

We continue to be fortunate in receiving expert and unwavering support from the editorial staff at Elsevier. Special thanks to Taylor Ball and Claire Kramer for their assistance during the development and production of this book.

The production of a large book takes many hours of commitment by our authors. We recognize the increasing demands on everyone's time and want to express our gratitude to them for their efforts. They truly are the engine that drives the train over the hills and valleys of the production process. Lastly, we would like to thank our readership over the past 18 years whose feedback and curiosity have inspired us to move forward with this Fourth Edition. We all learn something new every day in the care of children with gastrointestinal and liver disease, and we hope that this book will provide a platform for the attainment of new knowledge.

Gore: High-Yield Imaging: Gastrointestinal (Expert Consult Series)

Patients with abdominal and pelvic disease often present with a perplexing constellation of radiographic findings demonstrated on a variety of different imaging examinations. This imaging conundrum occurs on a daily basis and in the setting of increasingly busy workloads. The harried radiologist has scant time to interpret and report confusing imaging findings on abdominal imaging studies, much less review the literature or perform a rushed “Google” search to facilitate the diagnostic interpretation of such cases. As a result, these diagnostic dilemmas can become forgotten enigmas, as the radiologist moves on quickly to the next case.

The purpose of High-Yield Imaging: Gastrointestinal as one of several teaching tools in the ongoing series of High-Yield texts from Elsevier is to provide user-friendly, hardcopy and web-based resources that the practicing radiologist can use to quickly and easily confirm a suspected diagnosis or generate a reasonable differential when the diagnosis is in doubt. The text has been organized into a series of topics on virtually every pathologic condition affecting the gastrointestinal tract, including the hollow organs (pharynx, esophagus, stomach, duodenum, small bowel, colon, and rectum), solid viscera (gallbladder and biliary tract, liver, pancreas, and spleen), and peritoneal cavity (peritoneum, retroperitoneum, mesentery, omentum, and abdominal wall).

Each topic contains brief, concise sections on the anatomic findings, clinical presentation, incidence/prevalence/epidemiology, imaging findings, and differential diagnosis, as well as a brief synopsis of what the referring physician needs to know. Each section is formatted as a bulleted list for rapid extraction of the relevant clinical information and imaging features of the disease by the reader. Each topic also contains several pertinent radiographs to illustrate the important imaging features. We believe this format is extremely user friendly, enabling the practicing radiologist to approach the text in a “hit and run” style for maximum information with a minimum of effort in order to better diagnose challenging cases without disrupting a busy clinical schedule.

The guiding principle of this resource is to illustrate and integrate the spectrum of abnormalities seen on all abdominal imaging studies, including conventional radiography, single-contrast and double-contrast barium studies, cholangiography, multidetector CT, ultrasonography, MRI, PET, PET/CT, and angiography.

We believe we have achieved our goal of creating a concise, well-illustrated, practical text on gastrointestinal/abdominal imaging for the busy radiologist, but, of course, we welcome your input.

Blanke: Gastrointestinal Oncology: A Practical Guide

Gastrointestinal oncology practitioners aim to establish effective prevention and treatment strategies for patients with malignancies involving the GI tract, ultimately leading to a reduction in morbidity and mortality from GI cancers. GI tumours arise from a number of distinct anatomic sites and may or may not share underlying biologic similarities; however, they differ in their required radiotherapeutic or surgical approaches for limited, curable disease, as well as their chemosensitivity and treatment patterns in the advanced or metastatic settings. The best therapeutic approach to these cancers is usually multidisciplinary, involving medical, surgical, and radiation oncologists, with strong input from pathologists, gastroenterologists, and specialists in diagnostic imaging. Making major strides in future GI cancer control will certainly involve both expert clinicians and researchers, specializing in areas including new drug development, clinical trial design, biostatistics, experimental and molecular therapeutics, and molecular pathology.

This edition of Gastrointestinal Oncology: A Practical Guide features chapters devoted to each of the major GI anatomic sites, as well as sections on diagnostic imaging, interventional GI oncology, practical correlative science, and non-site specific tumours such as neuroendocrine cancers and gastrointestinal stromal tumours. The emphasis of this text is to furnish useful, evidence-based clinical advice, highlighting the multidisciplinary nature of GI oncology practice. This remains an incredibly exciting time in medicine. The knowledge leaps in molecular oncology in general and characterization and treatment of GI malignancies specifically have been prodigious. We hope you find the information in this text useful, guiding your everyday practice and stimulating thought regarding potential future advances.

Canard: Gastrointestinal Endoscopy in Practice (Expert Consult Series)

The first edition of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy in Practice was written by leading French endoscopists and published in 1994. Its aim was to provide an easy to read, comprehensive guide to endoscopy. This, the third edition, is the first English language edition of the book. The authorship is truly international and we believe it provides a comprehensive guide to diagnostic and interventional endoscopy. The book adopts a practical approach, with step by step guides to performing procedures, the inclusion of clear algorithms which summarize clinical decision making and approx 1260 high quality endoscopic images and illustrations. Throughout the book, clinical tips are given to aid the endoscopist and potential ‘danger’ areas to be aware of are highlighted.

This new edition is organised into ten different sections. The first and second sections cover the essential prerequisites for undertaking endoscopic procedures as well as safety and quality issues relating to endoscopy. The third, fourth, fifth and sixth sections provide a step by step guide on performing diagnostic upper endoscopy and colonoscopy as well as imaging the small bowel and advanced imaging techniques: these include confocal endomicroscopy, autofluorescence, narrow band imaging and magnification endoscopy. Section seven covers the most commonly performed interventional techniques including recent developments such as radiofrequency ablation for early Barrett's neoplasia and mucosal resection techniques. The final sections have detailed chapters on two specific procedures: endosonography (EUS) and ERCP. These chapters have been completely rewritten and illustrated. As elsewhere in the book, the emphasis is on practicality and clear instruction on performing these complex procedures to the highest possible standard.

This first English edition strives to uphold the tradition of excellence established in the original French editions. We believe that the third edition of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy in Practice remains an ideal resource for everyone involved in endoscopy, from endoscopy trainees and nurse endoscopists to established endoscopists, nursing and technical staff. We hope you agree.

Iacobuzio: Gastrointestinal and Liver Pathology: A Volume in the Foundations in Diagnostic Pathology Series (Expert Consult Series)

The practice of anatomic pathology, and of gastrointestinal pathology in particular, has undergone a dramatic transformation in the past decade. In addition to the multitude of diseases, syndromes, and clinical entities encountered in clinical practice every day, the increasing integration of molecular biology with gastrointestinal pathology is occurring at a fast pace, from large academic centers to community-based practices. Thus, the ability to feel current with the ever-expanding practice of pathology can be daunting. This challenge may be particularly overwhelming for residents just beginning their careers in the field of pathology, or any clinician attempting to remain informed about gastrointestinal pathology. For this reason, we are particularly pleased to have the opportunity to participate in the second edition of Gastrointestinal and Liver Pathology prepared for the Foundations in Diagnostic Pathology series. The information this book provides will be a valuable resource for all those interested in gastrointestinal pathology.

Although numerous excellent textbooks regarding the pathology and diseases of the gastrointestinal tract are available, we are especially proud of this edition for its novel format. First, the majority of images presented are new, and original material was prepared by the authors solely for this publication. Second, the format for each chapter follows a template to ensure ease of use, standardization of information presented, and completeness of each chapter. Finally, the many authors who contributed to this text were asked to participate based on their reputations as outstanding teachers and clinician educators. To all, we are deeply grateful.

Christine A. Iacobuzio-Donahue, Elizabeth Montgomery

Foreword

The study and practice of anatomic pathology are both exciting and overwhelming. Surgical pathology, with all of the subspecialties it encompasses, and cytopathology have become increasingly complex and sophisticated, particularly with the incorporation of molecular pathology. It is simply not possible for any single individual to master all of the skills and knowledge required to perform these tasks at the highest level. Simply being able to make a correct diagnosis is challenging enough, but the standard of care has far surpassed merely providing a diagnosis. Pathologists are now asked to provide large amounts of ancillary information, both diagnostic and prognostic, often on small amounts of tissue, a task that can be daunting even to the most experienced surgical pathologist.

Although large general surgical pathology textbooks are useful resources, by necessity they could not possibly cover many of the aspects that pathologists need to know and include in their diagnostic reports. As such, the concept behind the Foundations in Diagnostic Pathology series was born. Given the success of the first series, we welcome the opportunity to update and improve all of the editions for the second series. Foundations in Diagnostic Pathology is designed to cover the major areas of surgical and cytopathology, and each edition is focused on one major topic. The goal of every book in this series is to provide the essential information that any pathologist, whether general or subspecialized, in training or in practice, would find useful in the evaluation of virtually any type of specimen encountered.

I am pleased that Drs. Christine Iacobuzio-Donahue and Elizabeth Montgomery agreed to edit this second edition of their book. Both of these individuals are superb gastrointestinal pathologists from Johns Hopkins Hospital, and they have edited an outstanding, state-of-the-art book on gastrointestinal pathology, which cuts to the essentials of what all pathologists want and need to know about diseases of the tubular gut, biliary tree, pancreas, and liver. The list of contributors is, as in the first edition, most impressive and includes nationally and internationally renowned pathologists who excel in their areas of expertise. The content in each chapter is practical, well organized, and well written, focusing on the thorough evaluation of biopsy and resection specimens and culminating in an accurate diagnosis using traditional morphology supported by immunohistochemical and molecular genetic techniques.

This edition of Gastrointestinal and Liver Pathology is organized in 21 chapters covering all of the major problems encountered in gastrointestinal pathology. There are separate chapters that describe the non-neoplastic and neoplastic conditions of the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, appendix, colon, and anus. Superb separate chapters on mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal tract, infectious diseases of the colon, idiopathic inflammatory bowel disease, other inflammatory or iatrogenic colitides, and polyps and polyposis syndromes allow for the necessary depth to cover these broad topics. In addition, pathology of the gallbladder, extrahepatic bile ducts, and pancreas are covered in separate chapters, each of which provides the essential information and nuances of the organ that is covered. The last four chapters of the book cover metabolic and toxic conditions of the liver, inflammatory and infectious diseases of the liver, liver neoplasms, and gastrointestinal lymphomas. I know of no other book in the literature that covers all of these aspects of gastrointestinal pathology in such a concise manner. Moreover, many of the photomicrographs are new to this edition.

I wish to extend my sincere appreciation to Drs. Iacobuzio-Donahue and Montgomery, as well as all of the authors who contributed to this outstanding edition in the Foundations in Diagnostic Pathology series. As I was confident in the first edition series, I am completely confident that future editions in this series will be as thorough and as well done as their predecessors. I sincerely hope you enjoy this volume in the Foundations in Diagnostic Pathology series.

Hawes: Endosonography 2nd edition with DVD

It is with great pleasure that we present the second edition of Endosonography. The first edition was a project that we embraced enthusiastically (albeit somewhat naively, not realizing how much work goes into a first edition textbook) because we believed there was a need for a comprehensive resource that could serve as a reference for those wishing to learn about EUS. At that time, EUS had matured in Japan, Europe, and the United States and was routinely taught in gastroenterology fellowships. To address the learning needs of the time, we selected expert endosonographers to write chapters that comprehensively covered all clinically relevant topics within the discipline of EUS while at the same time developing “how to” sections and a DVD that provided text and videos to teach the actual technique of EUS. The first edition was extremely well received, and we are grateful that the hard work by the authors and Elsevier has resulted in moving EUS forward. 

Time marches on, and medicine is a constantly evolving discipline. Gastrointestinal endoscopy has undergone significant advances, and so has EUS. As we observed the progress in EUS and particularly the explosion of interest in Asia (especially in China and India), Eastern Europe, and the Middle East, it became apparent that it was time to develop a second edition. We are wiser now, and we decided that if we were to invest the effort in a second edition, we wanted to make sure that we could make substantial improvements and not just do a simple “makeover.” The publishing landscape has changed, more and more people (young and old) have “gone digital,” and we needed to analyze the needs of the current generation of EUS trainees. We also wanted this edition to maintain its relevance for a longer time. Discussing our ideas with Elsevier, we were pleasantly surprised that their thinking was in concert with ours. The improvements to the second edition include: 

1. Online version: The field of endosonography is constantly evolving, and the EUS landscape had undergone a great transformation with time. Consequently, published information sometimes becomes outdated and irrelevant. To overcome this, the second edition of Endosonography has an online component. All chapters in the second edition will be updated on a quarterly basis. This will ensure that current information is available online to the readers at all times.
2. Frequent e-mail updates from editors: When one registers online for the electronic version of the textbook, frequent emails will be sent by the editorial team, which will provide updates on new contributions to the EUS literature. The editors will regularly review the most recent literature and will keep readers informed on how these articles influence the practice of endosonography. Thus we strongly encourage all readers to register online for the second edition of this textbook.
3. Interventional EUS: More comprehensive coverage of EUS includes significant modifications to existing chapters and the introduction of new chapters, especially in the area of interventional EUS. All procedural techniques have been carefully detailed in a stepwise fashion with accompanying videos (narratives included).
4. “How to” sections: Learning EUS remains a challenge for the beginner. Hence, the “how to” sections were revised, and combined with clearer correlations among the text, illustrations, and videos (with narration), these sections provide a better teaching system for those learning how to perform EUS.
5. Video component: The videos for the second edition will now be exclusively on the Endosonography Expert Consult website. This will allow frequent updating of the videos and will avoid the problems of losing or damaging the DVD.
6. More focus on pulmonary medicine and cytopathology: We recognized the rapid advance of EUS in pulmonary medicine and asked Jouke Annema, one of the world's experts in the role of EUS in pulmonary disease, to expand his chapter to include endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) and to pay particular attention to issues facing pulmonologists and thoracic surgeons in constructing his chapter. He accomplished this task perfectly, and we believe that Endosonography can now serve as a valuable resource to pulmonary physicians as they learn and apply EUS to their practice. Likewise, the chapter on cytopathology has been suitably revised to be useful to pathologists who are interested in EUS. We hope that this will serve as a guide to both endosonographers and cytopathologists to collaborate and work closely, which is pivotal for establishing a successful EUS practice.

Perhaps the most significant improvement to the second edition is the addition of Shyam Varadarajulu as our associate editor. Shyam brought his increasingly legendary energy and enthusiasm, along with wisdom and vision, to this project. His ideas shaped the organization of the second edition, and he spearheaded the editing of all the chapters. He will also play a pivotal role in organizing the regular updates to readers. It would have been difficult, if not impossible, to provide the same quality in the second edition without Shyam, and we are most grateful for his commitment to our vision for Endosonography.We remain steadfastly committed to advancing EUS through education and training. We feel that the second edition of Endosonography can play an important role in enabling one to achieve excellence in EUS and that a more widespread practice of quality endoscopic ultrasound will ultimately improve patient care around the world. It is our sincere hope that Endosonography will play a key role in allowing you to master the discipline of EUS.

Waye: Colonoscopy: Principles and Practice 2nd edition with DVD

The first edition of Colonoscopy: Principles and Practice was conceived because there was no overall source of information concerning the current status of colonoscopy. The chapter headings were intended to cover the entire range of colonoscopy. With careful editing, attention to detail in each chapter and drawing on the vast clinical and teaching experience of all three editors, the book won first prize in the 2004 prestigious medical society award for gastroenterology conferred by the British Medical Association. 

In one of the reviews of the first edition, it was stated that Colonoscopy was “a masterpiece of its kind. The authors should be complimented for their successful effort to provide such an important and fascinating book”. “Very rarely has the reviewer examined a monograph . . . which has impressed him so much for its clarity, completeness, attractiveness and its fascination”.  

This second edition is intended to capture all the changes that have taken place in the field of colonoscopy within the past several years, with six new chapters and 34 new authors, who represent the best minds and practitioners in the field of colonoscopy and colonoscopic imaging. Each chapter has been extensively revised, and many were completely rewritten with a view to bring a focus of current knowledge to this updated second edition. The editors have encouraged all authors to add layers of new information to the data of 5 years ago. 

As colonoscopy is such a visual imaging field and since the technique of therapy is so closely associated, a DVD has been added to the book to accompany this edition. The DVD has over 100 video segments covering the entire aspect of colonoscopy from history to teaching, from insertion technique to polypectomy, and it also contains many cases of interesting pathology ranging from parasites to perforation. Several videos demonstrate the most recent developments of narrow-band imaging, confocal laser endomicroscopy, and endoscopic submucosal dissection.

Most of the individual video clips for the DVD were contributed by the editors, many were submitted by the chapter authors themselves, and others represent videos of live cases performed at international teaching courses. Some of the videos have audio commentaries, but most have an accompanying full text description. 

This second edition of Colonoscopy: Principles and Practice will enhance the knowledge of everyone interested in the field of colonoscopy and colonic imaging. Although intended to be a source of information for physicians, surgeons, residents and fellows, as well as students and gastrointestinal assistants, our goal is to enhance the care and treatment of patients with colonic problems, who are the ultimate beneficiaries of shared knowledge and improved skills.

Yamada: Textbook of Gastroenterology 5th edition 2 Volume Set

Over the past twenty years, thousands of physicians have come to depend on Yamada’s Textbook of Gastroenterology. Its encyclopaedic discussion of the basic science underlying gastrointestinal and liver diseases as well as the many diagnostic and therapeutic modalities available to the patients who suffer from them was—and still is—beyond compare. This new edition provides the latest information on current and projected uses of major technologies in the field and a new section on diseases of the liver. Plus, it comes with a fully searchable CD ROM of the entire content.


Book Features

• A completely updated new edition (formerly LWW), with an entirely new section on disease of the liver, of this ‘premier’ reference source, now in four colour, including a CD-Rom
• Provides the basis for understanding and managing all gastroenterological conditions
• In combination with the Atlas, the Textbook and Principles surpass any extant English texts in their extensive coverage of diagnosis, and treatment of gastrointestinal and liver conditions
• Part of a stellar cluster with Yamada’s Atlas of Gastroenterology (Nov 08) and Principles of Clinical Gastroenterology (May 08)
