Stem Cells and Cancer in Hepatology: From the Essentials to Application offers basic scientists and clinicians in the fields of stem cells, hepatology and oncology an overview of the interaction between liver biology, stem cells and cancer. It discusses how the liver performs regeneration and repair, the role stem cells play in these processes, and the mechanisms by which liver cancers are initiated and developed. As the field of stem cells and cancer stem cells in hepatology is new and dynamic, thus making it difficult for researchers and clinicians to understand the most relevant historic and novel studies, this volume addresses that challenge. Addresses both the basic and clinical perspectives of the topic, including sections on normal and cancer stem cells of the liver Provides coverage of the molecular mechanisms of liver development, the proliferation of hepatic progenitor cells during development, epithelial cell plasticity, generation of hepatocytes by transdifferentiation, liver tissue engineering, and more Presents a study of hepatic stem cells that will help readers understand critical events during development, stem cell differentiation towards functional liver cell fate, and tumor initiation

Les ouvrages de la collection Mémo Stage Infirmier offrent aux étudiants en IFSI des fiches synthétiques et accessibles, présentant les connaissances indispensables pour leurs stages en services de soins. Conformes au nouveau programme, ils intègrent l'ensemble des compétences évaluées lors de ces stages et font l'objet d'une introduction détaillée. Cet ouvrage consacré à l'hépato-gastro-entérologie propose : • un rappel des notions d'anatomie et physiologie de l'appareil digestif ; • l'ensemble des pathologies en hépato-gastro-entérologie, déroulées selon un plan identique pour chaque fiche : – définition, – épidémiologie, – étiologie, – diagnostic : examen clinique; examens complémentaires, – traitement : règles de prescription, • une rubrique « conduite à tenir IDE » qui clôt chaque fiche de pathologie, exposant la prise en charge infirmière (accueil du patient, bilans, surveillance, gestes techniques spécifiques) et mettant en lien la compétence • des fiches présentant les investigations et gestes techniques les plus courants en service d'hépato-gastro-entérologie ; • une série de fiches récapitulant tous les médicaments abordés dans l'ouvrage. Ce Mémo accompagnera efficacement les étudiants infi rmiers tout au long de leur stage en service d'hépato-gastro-entérologie ou de chirurgie digestive.

The spectrum and etiology of liver diseases vary widely between East and West and hence the focus and experience of hepatologists also remain varied at two corners of the globe. Hepatology being perhaps one of the most flourishing and evolving discipline of medical sciences, a book with recent information written by experts from all over the world was much needed. The present book fulfills this need. The book will serve as a useful reference manual to consultants, postgraduate students, and residents of Hepatology, Gastroenterology, Internal Medicine, Pathology, Virology, and Preventive Medicine as well as undergraduate clinical medical students. Liver is a comprehensive book that discusses all aspects of diseases ranging from epidemiology to prognosis. This book is unique in its conception and presentation, as not only it provides new information but also offers a balanced and rational approach to diseases of liver, pancreas, and biliary system. One of the characteristic features of the book is inclusion of diseases of pancreas and separate chapters on important topics like cytokines and chemokines and apoptosis in liver diseases, as a sound background in these is essential for becoming a good specialist. It contains a chapter on evidence-based clinical practice in hepatology, which is the basis of modern clinical practice. It also includes a chapter on preventive aspects of hepato-biliary diseases keeping in mind that prevention of diseases is always preferred to cure. One of the unique features of this book is, it has contributors from all over the world.
