The Complete Spleen by Anthony J. Bowdler Pdf

In this thoroughly revised and updated second edition, a panel of distinguished clinical researchers from around the world takes stock of the wealth of new knowledge about the human spleen and applies it to the pathology and treatment of splenic diseases. This much enriched understanding encompasses the spleen's complex role in immunological defense, the recently defined function of particulate filtration by the spleen, and the structural basis for the functions of the spleen, most particularly the microvasculature around which it is organized. Among the diseases and disorders of the spleen considered in detail are splenomegaly, the consequences and management of hyper- and hyposplenism, and "dilutional anemia." Recent advances in splenic surgery are also reviewed, especially those techniques intended to preserve at least partial function while removing the greater part of the organ.

Ultrasonography of the Spleen by Jean-Noel Bruneton,Michel Benozio,Michel Blery,Hassen A. Gharbi,Bernard Senecail,Van Tran-Minh Pdf

This is the first book devoted solely to ultrasonography of the spleen. Its particular value to the reader can be explained by several factors: firstly, ultrasonography is the first examination to be performed after physical examination; secondly, splenic ultrasound can be performed rapidly in emergency settings and in an infectious context; thirdly, it is a necessary procedure for epidemiological work in regions such as Africa, where parasitoses are endemic; and, finally, it is useful for the work-up of neoplasms. The book is divided into chapters covering normal sonoanatomy of the spleen, congenital malformations, splenic trauma, tumors, infections, and involvement in parasitoses. In all chapters, the advantages of ultrasound examination are compared with those of other imaging techniques, and the role of ultrasonography in strategies for splenic exploration is defined as a function of the clinical setting. The book thereby allows optimal utilization of ultrasonography based on a thorough understanding of splenic pathology.
