- Abstract
- This is the first comprehensive book exclusively dedicated to anorectal physiology and the importance of diagnostic tools in guiding the evaluation and treatment of anorectal dysfunction. Functional disorders, and specifically fecal incontinence and evacuatory disorders, are prevalent in the general population, affecting up to 20% of individuals. As many of these conditions have extremely complex mechanisms, a thorough understanding of anorectal physiology is a crucial element in the surgeon’s "arsenal" to ensure accurate evaluation and to inform treatment. At this time, there is no other title that specifically addresses all aspects of anorectal physiology, as well as anorectal and pelvic floor disorders, including fecal incontinence and defecation disorders. Specifically, the book provides detailed descriptions of diagnostic methods and treatment algorithms for a range of anorectal conditions, including modern treatment modalities such as sacral neuromodulation. A unique and comprehensive reference covering all aspects of the evaluation and treatment of anorectal disorders, Anorectal Physiology – A Clinical and Surgical Perspective will be of significant interest to proctologists and coloproctologists, gastroenterologists, colorectal surgeons, gynecologists and all other professionals interested in anorectal physiology.

- Abstract
- This is a book about primary care clinicians and the clinical uncertainty endemic to their work. Even when seemingly straightforward, each patient raises unique questions regarding how best to listen to their complaints, empathize with their suffering, or respond to their silences. This book is also about addressing uncertainty in primary care practice and engaging it. Engagement requires knowledge, explicit and tacit, placed in the service of a single patient's problem. It also requires carefully managed communication, facilitating dialogue with the patient and encouraging shared problem-solving. Most importantly, this book is about collaborative engagement with case-based uncertainty in the setting of small groups of clinicians. Sommers and Launer contend that the medical profession's tradition of working independently should be augmented with an explicitly shared, collegial one of jointly creating wisdom through practice-based learning. An international panel of expert clinicians and educators provides: Perspectives on clinical uncertainty in the medical literature; A taxonomy of clinical uncertainty with patient examples; Analysis of the educator role to support clinicians in engaging uncertainty; A compendium of small group methods for collaborative engagement with clinical scenarios; Analysis of the special challenges of collaborative engagement. A mind-opening manifesto, Clinical Uncertainty in Primary Care will equip primary care clinicians, educators, public health and behavioral health professionals with resources for infusing practice with meaning through collegial collaboration. From the Foreword: "Lucia Sommers and John Launer, with the accompanying input of their contributing authors, have done a deeply insightful and close to exhaustive job of defining clinical uncertainty. They identify its origins, components, and subtypes; demonstrate the ways in which and the extent to which it is intrinsic to medicine--and present a cogent case for its special relationship to primary care practice--Clinical Uncertainty in Primary Care not only presents a model of collegial collaboration and support, it also implicitly legitimates it." Renee Fox, Annenberg Professor Emerita of the Social Sciences, University of Pennsylvania.

- Abstract
- This book provides a comprehensive overview of the importance of molecular imaging in multiple myeloma, with detailed explanation of its clinical impact. Other important features are the definition of criteria that will aid PET/CT interpretation; identification and explanation of the most frequent pitfalls; a brief overview of the advantages and limitations of DWI MR imaging, still an experimental technique in multiple myeloma; and examination of the possible role of emerging PET tracers. When appropriate, clinical cases are used to illustrate key teaching points. All physicians involved in oncological imaging should regularly reassess and update their routine practice in the evaluation of multiple myeloma patients. This is especially true now, given the recent clarification by the International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) of the criteria for bone damage requiring therapy and the emerging data supporting the role of the newer functional imaging techniques in predicting outcome and/or evaluating response to therapy. In this challenging context, Molecular Imaging in Multiple Myeloma will be of high value for nuclear medicine physicians, radiologists, and hematologists.

- Abstract
- The oocyte is the largest and most mysterious cell in the body of mammalian organisms. Through its growth and maturation, it reaches extreme levels of specialization, while maintaining at the same time a condition of totipotency. Its unique ability, in co-operation with the spermatozoon, to give rise to a fully developed organism formed from hundreds of different tissues and myriads of individual cells has inspired intellectuals of all ages. Oogenesis finds impetus and purpose in casting scientific perspective towards this unique cell for the benefit of scientists and assisted reproductive technology (ART) specialists. The authors of the chapters are distinguished authorities in their respective areas of competence. From the opening of the book the reader is lead on a fantastic voyage from the formation of the primordial oocyte to the development of the early embryo, passing through crucial processes of oogenesis, such as co-ordination of oocyte and follicle growth, gene expression and organelle reorganization during growth and maturation, epigenetic mechanisms, regulation of meiosis, totipotency, cell polarity, oogenesis in vitro and maternal regulation of early development.

- Abstract
- Generally CT images associated to a PET scan are acquired in a low-dose modality and therefore turn out to be suboptimal for CT image interpretation. Sometimes a comparison with a full-resolution and contrast- enhanced CT atlas may be difficult. Low-dose CT slices are thicker than diagnostic CT and poorer in anatomical details, and this affects the accuracy in recognizing both anatomical structures and pathological findings. This atlas provides a “normal anatomy” chapter that is built on low-dose CT images from PET/CT standard acquisition, identifying all the relevant anatomical structures detectable without contrast media administration that can help in accurately describing all FDG-positive fi ndings extension. Other chapters (thorax, abdomen, pelvis, musculoskeletal system) present cases with common and uncommon FDG-negative anatomical abnormalities. All the images can be directly compared to the CT images acquired on standard PET/CT.--Preface.
