Abstract

Remarkable progress has been made in our knowledge of celiac disease, yet the diagnosis is often overlooked. The practical challenge for healthcare professionals is to identify the disease and offer patients a gluten-free diet that will restore most to full health and help to prevent further complications. This comprehensively revised second edition of 'Fast Facts: Celiac Disease', written by three international experts, considers: • Celiac disease in all its forms - typical, atypical, silent, potential and latent • Gluten sensitivity, genetic risk and predisposing physiological abnormalities • The variable presentation of disease in both adults and children • Associated immune disorders • The puzzle of diagnosis, solved by clinical, serological, histological and genetic investigation • Troublesome, and sometimes life-threatening, non-malignant complications • The close links between celiac disease and dermatitis herpetiformis • The risk of malignancy, its treatment and prognosis • Management with a gluten-free diet, and the emotional and social implications of the diet • Potential new therapies Highly readable with informative illustrations, 'Fast Facts: Celiac Disease' provides an up-to-date account of this common yet easily missed condition. It is an excellent clinical resource for the primary care team, gastroenterologists in training and anyone who wants to know more about this challenging disease. Contents: • Definition • Epidemiology • Pathophysiology • Clinical manifestations • Diagnosis • Non-malignant complications • Dermatitis herpetiformis • Malignant complications • Management • Future trends • Useful resources

Abstract

Metabolic Syndrome (MS) is a highly prevalent condition in developed countries and is a cluster of several risk factors for type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease that includes increased body mass index/waist circumference, visceral obesity, insulin resistance, hyperclycaemia, dyslipidaemia and hypertension, which are all major causes of morbidity and death. This volume provides a critical review and discussion of the knowledge gathered on MS and analyzes the interplay between oxidative stress, chronic inflammation and angiogenesis features. There is a special focus on recent discoveries and progress toward possible therapeutic strategies, such as the role of glucose transporters within MS; the effects of polyphenols as anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-angiogenic compounds. The role of NFkB, nitric oxide synthases, hypoxia-inducible factors, and many other molecules that play a part in the development of oxidative stress and inflammation as well as angiogenesis is also covered. This book fills the gap between basic science and medical care, and provides the reader with the skills to apply rigorous basic science to clinical settings of metabolic syndrome-associated disorders.

Abstract

L’osteoporosi è una complessa condizione patologica che può presentarsi in tutte le fasce di età, alla cui insorgenza concorrono molteplici fattori. Ne deriva pertanto la necessità di una rigorosa conoscenza eziopatogenetica fondamentale, oltre che clinica e diagnostica. Le conoscenze sempre più avanzate nel campo del metabolismo osseo, della clinica e farmacologia, hanno condizionato e reso necessario un adeguamento tecnico da parte dei medici specialisti ed in particolare del radiologo, in passato focalizzato sul solo aspetto diagnostico e oggi sempre più proiettato verso nuove prospettive di studio. L’opera si articola in sei parti distinte: dalla biologia, istologia e fisiopatologia del tessuto osseo (Parte I) si passa alla semeiotica, epidemiologia, fattori di rischio e prevenzione dell’osteoporosi (Parte II) e successivamente alla fisiopatologia, genetica e clinica dell’osteoporosi e delle malattie metaboliche dell’osso (Parte III). Di significativo impatto risulta la Parte IV, focalizzata sui diversi aspetti diagnostici dell’osteoporosi (diagnostica clinica, radiologica e di medicina nucleare) e resa ancora più preziosa da un’eccellente iconografia, quanto mai dimostrativa e scelta con rigorosa cura. Nella Parte V e nella Parte VI vengono infine trattati rispettivamente la terapia e le complicanze ortopediche e riabilitazione fisica. Si tratta di un testo chiaro, caratterizzato da una bibliografia precisa e aggiornata e da un’iconografia curata nei minimi particolari, da cui traspaiono l’esperienza e l’elevata capacità didattica degli Autori, sicuramente utile e interessante per tutti coloro che nell’ambito della propria attività professionale hanno necessità di approfondire le tematiche inerenti l’osteoporosi e le malattie del metabolismo osseo.
