  Hyperlipidaemia: Diagnosis & Management

  9,588.00₹ 5,200.00₹

  The third edition of this well-received text provides a state-of-the-art treatise on modern clinical practice relating to hyperlipidaemia and lipoprotein disorders, conditions responsible for a huge amount of morbidity and mortality in Western countries and, increasingly, the developing world.

There has also been considerable development in the definition of cardiovascular risk, and the methodology for identifying high-risk patients.

  All of these aspects are addressed fully in the new edition. In addition, the book offers helpful summaries of the background biochemistry of lipoprotein metabolism and atherosclerosis where relevant, putting the subject in the context of its pathophysiology and epidemiology. The text relating to clinical aspects has a strong evidence base, reviewing, in particular, areas of uncertainty and controversy.

  Drawing on the wealth of experience of the author, and representing his widely respected views on the subject, readers will find this comprehensive, well-referenced and accessible book invaluable.

  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.
