Acute Pancreatitis: Novel Concepts in Biology and Theraphy
14,980.00₹ 7,690.00₹
Still frightening to both patients and clinicians, acute pancreatitis is an acute inflammatory disease of the pancreatic gland that may lead to severe systemic response. Fortunately, the knowledge about this disease has increased considerably in the last two decades. On molecular and pathophysiologic bases, doctors do understand more clearly the primary events in the initiation of acute pancreatitis and its repair, and there are also new diagnostic tools now available. Clinically, it is of the utmost importance to establish a generally accepted classificaiton for the different entities of this disease–especially since new treatment concepts have been introduced in the last years. These include the approach to biliary acute pancreatitis by endoscopic procedures; promising compounds to interfere with the early stage of the disease; and anti-infectives for the later stages, where infected pancreatic necrosis plays a predominant role. In light of this new information, it is evident that the approach to acute pancreatitis should be managed interdisciplinarily to get the best treatment results.
Leading authorities from around the world have contributed to this volume, and special attention has been paid to new insights in pathophysiology and repair mechanisms, diagnosis and new treatment options.
This book provides a state-of-the-art update of acute pancreatitis and will be interest to basic scientists, physicians, clinicians, ICU specialists and surgeons.

Antipsychotic Trials in Schizophrenia: The CATIE Project
9,900.00₹ 3,560.00₹
From the beginning of the use of chlorpromazine and other neuroleptic drugs, signs of parkinsonism (e.g., tremor, rigidity, and bradykinesia) were observed as frequent side effects and, despite numerous studies to the contrary, were considered to be inextricably linked to therapeutic antipsychotic effects. Within a few years, investigators also observed an association between these drugs and abnormal involuntary movements that came to be known as tardive dyskinesia (TD). These and other drug-induced extrapyramidal side effects (EPS) can be mistaken for or worsen primary psychotic symptoms, are sometimes irreversible or lethal, often necessitate additional burdensome side effects from antiparkinsonian agents, can be disfiguring and stigmatizing, and have been shown to influence compliance, relapse, and rehospitalization. As a result, EPS dominated concerns about tolerability of antipsychotic drugs for decades, and their elimination served as a major impetus for new drug research and development. In 1988, clozapine was found to have broader efficacy in schizophrenia with negligible EPS, stimulating the search for other antipsychotics with improved tolerability. The drugs that were introduced after clozapine came to be known as atypical or second-generation antipsychotics (SGAs) while the earlier drugs were now called typical or first-generation antipsychotics (FGAs). Industry-sponsored clinical trials suggested that SGAs were superior to FGAs in the treatment of schizophrenia, reducing psychotic symptoms and causing fewer EPS. Cumulative evidence supporting reduced liability for EPS with SGAs contributed to the widespread dominance of these drugs in the marketplace and fostered the concept of “atypicality” in the mechanism of action of the new drugs.
