Ten years have elapsed since the printing of the second edition of this book. Since then there's been a veritable explosion of information coming mainly from the field of molecular diagnostics, which bear particular importance in the classification and treatment of Infantile enteropathies, disorders associated with immunodeficiencies, the classification of intestinal polyps and polyposis syndromes in childhood, cholestatic and metabolic disorders of childhood, liver tumors and transplantation pathology, all of which were major subjects explored in our previous editions. In this updated third edition, most of the chapters have been extensively revised to incorporate updated understanding in pathogenesis and terminology. For example, the widespread use of genetic panels and next generation sequencing in the diagnosis of cholestatic disorders of infancy and childhood, not widely available when the last edition was being prepared, prompted the writing of an entirely new chapter reflecting these advances by a new set of authors. Similarly, progress in diagnosis and classification of liver tumors justified an entirely new chapter on liver tumors that incorporates newer patient stratification in treatment protocols and reflects the new WHO classification of liver tumors. Pathology of Pediatric Gastrointestinal and Liver Disease 3rd Edition provides the pediatric pathologist, the GI or general pathologist, and the pediatric gastroenterologist with the most complete and current reference on the subject. It includes in-depth discussions on disorders and issues that are frequently encountered but for which up-to-date information is often not readily available, as well as infrequent disorders unique or specific to children that are not covered in standard texts.

The idea for the book emanated from the experience of one of the editors, Dr. Hana Ajouz, who encountered many general surgery residents who were seeking a good ABSITE review book from which to study, and none was found to be truly comprehensive and up-to-date. There is an immense need for a comprehensive yet concise and easy-to-use book that has a clear structure and one that reflects new findings, methods and references that current surgical residents will find to be applicable. The intentional structure of the book is simply this - capture the most pertinent information for each specialty that is on the SCORE® curriculum and frequently asked on the ABSITE exam and present it to the reader in a capsulized, simplified format of charts or tables. Hence, in addition to its study-friendly structure, this review book comprehensively mirrors most contemporary general surgery curricula. It also encompasses key operative steps of wider general surgery procedures, which most review books lack. Moreover, while most ABSITE review books are written by one or a few authors, each chapter in this book is reviewed/authored by someone with expertise in their specialty. This compiles the experience of many authorities into one resource helping general surgery residents stay up-to-date with the most recent and important concepts in the field.

This book provides an overview of the physiology of pregnancy and the pathophysiology of common pregnancy complications. Using this information, options are discussed for the early detection and prevention of these complications. Chapter 1 outlines the maternal adaptation to pregnancy, which enables the fetus to grow, mature and thrive without compromising maternal health. Chapter 2 describes the pregnancy course in healthy women, who develop a common pregnancy complication, such as a placental syndrome, preterm birth or gestational diabetes. These complications are often superimposed on a latent defect in the cardiovascular, renal, immunologic and/or metabolic functions. Chapters 3 and 4 discuss pregnancy in women with a chronic disease that often affects one of these functions. Finally, chapter 5 uses the information provided in the preceding chapters to discuss the options for early detection and/or prevention of common pregnancy complications.The emphasis of this book is on the pathophysiology of a complicated pregnancy rather than on its management. It explains the sequence of events that characterizes the development of common pregnancy complications. This insight is expected to assist in the decision making and counseling by midwives and obstetricians of pregnant women, who are at increased risk of these complications.
