Book Description
Dyspepsia is a disorder which affects a large portion of the population. However, it is very important to differentiate between commonly presenting symptoms like gastroesophageal reflux disease, functional dyspepsia, and irritable bowel syndrome. Also various classifications and treatment protocols have been developed and revised to provide a rational platform for the clinicians. The ROME III classification has to a large extent given a direction to the clinicians to base their practice on, however, is a classification based on clinical trials and is really helpful in daily practice. In this issue we have tried to focus on the need for classification and approach to the patient with dyspepsia.

Book Description
Although dyspepsia has been investigated for a long period of time, there is no international agreement on what constitutes this condition nor any standardized guidelines. National guidelines followed by practitioners in different countries vary in diagnostic and therapeutic approach, underlining the necessity for a unique definition worldwide. Dyspepsia in Clinical Practice summarizes the current guidelines while offering a unified, practical definition of dyspepsia, and a diagnostic algorithm with an emphasis on the upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and rational first-line therapeutic approach based on epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnostic workup and response to previous therapy. Up-to-date scientific information about dyspepsia is presented from a practical, clinician's point of view. Written by experts in the field, this volume addresses dyspepsia in childhood and in the elderly, a very important issue often insufficiently emphasized in the literature. Guidelines are provided that can be easily followed in clinical practice, leading to a reduction in costs and increased patient safety. Dyspepsia in Clinical Practice will be of great value to gastroenterologists, internists, primary care physicians, pediatricians, infectious disease specialists, residents and fellows in training.

Book Description
Irritable bowel syndrome is a part of the family of gastrointestinal motility disorders and is characterized by abdominal pain and altered bowel habits. It is highly prevalent throughout the world with the reported prevalence rates lying between 9% and 25%. The incidence of IBS varies between different ethnic groups and the incidence has also been reported to be different in males and females. The incidence also varies between various clinical subgroups (diarrhea-predominant/constipation-predominant) of the disorder. This is a chronic condition and is the most frequent symptom complex in patients who visit gastroenterologists throughout the world. However, this is one of the least understood GI disorders as it is not a disease but a complex of symptoms. The symptoms are often severe and quite bothersome, and thus have a negative effect on the patient’s quality of life and activity level, often leading to psychiatric complications. Besides this, a substantial economic burden of the disease and its impact in terms of man hours lost per annum make it one of the most troublesome symptom complexes in medicine, which need to be solved. This book has been designed to update the readers on the extensive research done over these years and on the many new potential mechanisms of pathogenesis of this troublesome condition. The reader will also be updated on the changing epidemiology of the condition. Diagnostic approach and management of IBS have also been thoroughly reviewed with an emphasis on the recent updates in the field. Typical supportive case scenarios have been included to exemplify and highlight various points discussed. Thus, it provides an excellent opportunity to widen one’s perspective in this area.

Book Description
Cell health depends on a steady supply of fuel from glucose and free fatty acids. Both these major fuels are regulated by insulin. Cells in the muscle, liver, and fat need insulin to receive glucose, and hence do not become exposed to high blood glucose levels when the blood sugars are high and insulin levels are low. The lack of insulin slows the movement of glucose into these cells, and probably spares them from damage when blood sugars are high. However, other cells such as those in the brain, nervous system, heart, blood vessels and kidneys pick up glucose directly from the blood without using insulin. These cells, except the brain, are more prone to damage from high blood sugars because they become exposed to high internal levels of glucose. This to quite an extent explains why damage tends to occur in specific organs such as in nerve and kidney cells, and in small blood vessels like those in the eyes. This project on the organ damage in diabetes is an attempt to elaborate on the various factors to be considered in managing these patients, the pointers for early diagnosis and prevention of the same.

Book Description
Interventional Cardiology came into being during early 1950s. Interventional cardiology has seen substantial advances in last couple of decades, be it World or India. Interventional Cardiology started as brachial artery coronary cine angiography. The initial decade after the advent of interventional cardiology was only dedicated to its diagnostic use; it was in late seventies when the horizon of interventional cardiology broadened. In 1977 Andreas Gruentzig introduced the cardiologist to therapy, with percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). This initially slender spectrum of balloon dilatation has broadened into the large spectrum of interventional cardiology, which now encompasses both diagnostic and therapeutic modalities for coronary artery disease. The main advantages of interventional cardiology are the avoidance of the pain, scars, and long postoperative recovery associated with surgery. The book is a comprehensive guide to understand the clinical application of Interventional Cardiology with special reference and experience in India. The authors have put together the most relevant facts about the disease for an easy comprehension and understanding of the same by practitioners and students across the specialty.

Book Description
Prevalence of allergic diseases has increased several folds in western world over the last two decades, and similar trend is being observed recently in India. There have been several postulations to explain increasing occurrence of allergic diseases. "Allergic march" refers to sequence of events that starts during fetal life as a result of sensitization to foods and may manifest as eczema, gastrointestinal symptoms, asthma, or hay fever, or combinations of any of these symptoms. A link between genetics and immunology is hypothesized that results in such allergic diseases.

Book Description
Pancreatic cancer remains a dismal disease with an incidence that is on the rise even in a low incidence region like India. In recent years, there have been significant advances in the understanding of pancreatic cancer largely due to strides in modern molecular biology, pathology and radiology. While molecular biology continues to provide an optimistic vision for future treatment approaches to this deadly disease, the recent identification of PanIN’s and resection margins in pancreatic cancer have important implications for current day-to-day practice. This book explains how better understanding of IPMN and its management has improved the scope of pancreatic tumors. It also explains what role do heat shock proteins perform in cancer. The book gives concise description on how a number of important advances have made pancreatic pathology an exciting and rapidly advancing field. There are chapters that explain how good endoscopic ultrasound is in detection of cancer pancreas and also talk about experimental studies on obstructive jaundice and biliary drainage. Neo-adjuvant strategies in operable pancreatic adenocarcinomas are also being explained in detail. It is sincerely hoped that this book will update the busy clinician as well as the academician on various aspects of current importance in management of pancreatic cancer. Understanding the role of IPMN in improving the scope of pancreatic tumors Describing performance of heat shock proteins in cancer Throwing some light on usefulness of endoscopic ultrasound in detecting cancer pancreas Getting an insight into neo-adjuvant strategies in operable pancreatic adenocarcinomas
