The Greatness of Schneck
The contribution by Carson D. Schneck, MD,PhD to this book was great. However, Dr. Schneck cannot be fully appreciated unless you actually hear him speak. He brings a great passion to the field of Anatomy and Radiologythat most people simply lack. ... Read more

Product Description
This is the definitive reference work on the histopathology of disease affecting the liver. No other work provides such a detailed discussion of the subjects or such ample color illustrations of the diseases and their variations. The book consists of two volumes: text and photomicrographs. Volume I features 27 chapters detailing the techniques of liver biopsy; the production of microscopic slides; detailed discussions of the diseases of the liver; AIDS; and liver transplantation. Volume II presents more than 1100 corresponding color photomicrographs, illustrating the histologic abnormalities seen in liver disorders. These remarkable color plates are presented in a large format (4 per page), each with a detailed description of their histologic features. Expertly written and meticulously organized, this will be an invaluable sourcebook for hepatologists, gastroenterologists, and pathologists. The book provides a useful description and analysis of the cellular and tissue patterns of disease in the liver as seen through the microscope. ... Read more

Product Description
In recent years, knowledge about the cell biology of thecholangiocytes and the function of the bile ducts has increasedconsiderably. Their role in liver diseases is increasingly recognized.As a consequence, important progress has been made not only in thepathogenesis and pathophysiology but also in the diagnosis andtreatment of biliary liver diseases. This book, the proceedings of theFalk Symposium 107 on `Diseases of the Liver and the Bile Ducts-- New Aspects and Clinical Implications', held in Prague, CzechRepublic, on April 30--May 2, 1998, brings together scientistsand clinicians to highlight the most recent advances in molecularbiology, physiology, diagnosis and therapy of diseases of the biliarysystem. World experts cover a broad spectrum of topics from genetictests to endoscopy and from medical treatment to livertransplantation. ... Read more

Product Description
The field of liver fibrosis has become of great interest in thelast decade. Although knowledge of the mechanisms leading to liverfibrogenesis and fibrosis has dramatically improved during the last3--4 years, we are still at the edge of the truth. Several reportshave stressed the role of nonparenchymal cells as the main producersof hepatic extra-cellular matrix. In particular, fat-storing cells(also known as Ito cells or lipocytes or perisinusoidal stellatecells) have been recently shown to play a major role in this process.The Falk Symposium No. 71 was dedicated to basic science and clinicalaspects of fat storing cells and liver fibrosis, and brought togetheran international group of investigators to highlight unsolved problemsand to discuss common strategies of research. ...

Product Description
This volume, the proceedings of the International FalkSymposium held in Marburg, Germany, in January 1992, summarizes themost recent advances in the study of cellular and molecular mechanismsof fibrosis provided by contributions from the leading scientists inthis field.
It updates our knowledge on the basic components of fibrosis, on thecellularorigin and degradation of matrix components, on peptide andnon-peptide mediators, cellular cooperation and other mechanisms offibrogenesis, on the role of the extracellular matrix as modulator offibrogenesis, and on some aspects of antifibrotic trials andbiochemical monitoring of the development of fibrosis.
Since liver fibrogenesis has, to a certain extent, attained the statusof a model for fibrotic tissue reactions that occur generally invarious organs and tissues, the fundamental processes described heremay be relevant for other sites of tissue repairs and fibrosis, forwould healing and even for atherogenesis.

Product Description
In Drugs and the Liver: High Risk patients andTransplantation, leading physicians, hepatologists,pharmacologists, pathologists and transplant surgeons discuss the mostrecent advances in the field of liver disease and their treatment.Attention is focused on epidemiology, the diagnosis of disease(clinical chemistry, histopathology, medical imaging analysis),prognosis, prediction, and clinical management. Pathogenesis ofdiseases such as liver cirrhosis following viral disease or alcoholabuse are discussed at length, and special attention is dedicated tohigh risk patients (children, fulminant hepatitis). The other majortopics include terminal liver failure, for which transplantation isnow routine. The latter is discussed in depth, starting from the organdonor management, organ evaluation and preservation, new surgicaltechniques, post-transplant patient follow-up including side effectsof immunosuppression, and reports of the latest drugs used to preventrejection. ...

Product Description
A morphologic approach is emphasized in this book, beginning with abnormal "patterns" and working through the correlations to a differential diagnosis of both primary and secondary liver (and biliary) disease. A comprehensive reference, this text covers all aspects of the diagnosis of liver disease in surgical pathology. The bulk of the text is devoted to the diagnosis of a wide variety of liver disorders with discussions centring around histological features. Liver disorders covered include: acute viral hepatitis, alcoholic liver disease, chronic hepatitis, cholestasis and bile duct disorders, infections, drug-induced injury, cirrhosis, metabolic disorders, vascular disorders, liver transplantation, cysts and neoplasms. ...

Product Description
This book discusses in detail new aspects of the metabolic basis of important chronic liver diseases. Entities such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (fatty liver and Non-Alcoholic SteatoHepatitis - NASH), diabetes in chronic hepatitis C, hemochromatosis, Wilson's disease, Gaucher disease, porphyria, as well as liver cirrhosis and its metabolic consequences will be discussed in detail. These clinical conditions are highly prevalent and affect millions of patients in the USA and world-wide. For example, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is the most common cause of elevated liver enzymes in the general population. This field has been practically transformed over the last few years, with many new insights gained, regarding both pathogenesis and effective novel treatments. ... Read more

Product Description
Tissue heterogeneity is a subject of long-standing interest in liver pathophysiology. Recent advances in the cell and molecular biology of hepatocytes and sinusoidal cells have yielded new insights into how liver cells differentiate and establish their functional compartmentation at the hepatic lobule level. This book contains a collection of reviews on the current cellular and molecular concepts supporting the functional units of liver tissue and their impact in disease. To understand the pathogenesis of liver diseases it is necessary to know about the different liver cell properties and their functional interdependencies. This book describes interrelated hepatic cell functions and dysfunctions, providing a more comprehensive view of liver tissue functioning homeostasis. ... Read more
