Abstract:

The gastrointestinal (GI) system accomplishes the tasks of digestion, absorption of nutritional compounds, and removal of waste products. This is a complex process, involving the hollow GI tract and the hepatic, pancreatic, and biliary systems. Symptoms and signs of disease relate directly to the digestive and/or absorptive processes they interrupt. This chapter discusses normal GI function, following the progress of food through the GI tract. It starts with a brief introduction, which is followed by a section on the action of swallowing. It then discusses the anatomy and function of the oesophagus, the stomach, the duodenum, the jejunum, the ileum, the pancreas, the biliary tree, the colon, the rectum, and the anus.

Abstract:

The gastrointestinal (GI) system is responsible for digestion and absorption, but also has important endocrine, immune and barrier functions. Additionally, the GI system plays a major role in fluid, electrolyte and acid-base balance. The GI system is regulated by complex myogenic, neural and humoral mechanisms, and, in health, these are affected by the presence of luminal nutrient, thereby modulating function of the GI system. Accordingly, GI function varies depending on whether a person is fasted or in the postprandial state. Adequate fasting and postprandial perfusion, motility and exocrine secretion are required for ‘normal’ functioning. The protective mechanisms of the GI system consist of physical (intact gut mucosa), non-immune (gastric acid, intestinal mucin, bile and peristalsis) and immune (gut-associated lymphoid tissue, GALT) elements. Disruption of GI protection is a putative mechanism underlying the development of multiple-organ dysfunction syndrome. Maintenance of GI function is increasingly recognised as an important factor underlying survival in critical illness.

Abstract:

Rheumatic diseases and diseases of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract are connected in two ways. The extraintestinal manifestations of inflammatory GI diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease affect joints in up to one-third of patients. On the other hand, several rheumatic diseases such as vasculitis or systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) induce a wide spectrum of gastrointestinal manifestations. The GI tract constitutes a huge area in contact with the environment. It is exposed to billions of food antigens, commensal bacteria, and potential pathogens. Some of those antigens are thought to play a role in the pathogenesis of rheumatic diseases. The intestinal barrier function and the gut immune system are tightly regulated, as on one hand tolerance for food antigens and the resident commensal flora needs to be maintained, and on the other hand pathogens need to be rapidly and effectively eliminated. Non-infectious, chronic inflammatory diseases of the small and large intestine with rheumatic manifestations have been well known for decades. Among the susceptibility genes for Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are some that also cause susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis or SLE, indicating a shared susceptibility and overlapping pathological mechanisms. Subsequently, similar therapeutic principles have successfully been applied in autoimmune GI and rheumatological diseases such as steroids, immunosuppressants, and anti-TNF (tumour necrosis factor) antibodies.

Abstract:

Gastrointestinal (GI) tumours can affect any part of the GI tract, and colorectal cancer is the most common. Throughout the GI tract, chronic inflammation seems to promote the development of neoplasia: for example, chronic reflux oesophagitis is linked to oesophageal adenocarcinoma; chronic Helicobacter pylori infection is linked to gastric cancer; chronic pancreatitis is linked to pancreatic cancer; cirrhosis is linked to hepatocellular cancer; chronic biliary inflammation is linked to cholangiocarcinoma; untreated coeliac disease is linked to intestinal lymphoma; and chronic inflammatory bowel disease is linked to colorectal cancer. Symptoms depend on the location of the tumour, and occur as a result of local anatomical disruption, with consequent functional consequences and, less frequently, as a result of hormonal, metabolic, and immune effects. Weight loss is a common symptom seen in the gastroenterology outpatient clinic, given the high overall incidence of GI tumours. Often, the associated symptoms will direct the doctor to the site of a possible underlying cancer. Anaemia is another non-specific finding with a strong association with luminal cancers. Patients with anaemia with or without weight loss will normally undergo upper and lower GI investigations, usually via oesophagogastroduodenoscopy and colonoscopy (either CT or endoscopic colonoscopy). In tumours that are difficult to identify or assess the malignant potential, PET scanning can provide a large amount of information. PET scanning is a nuclear medicine scanning technique that utilizes 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG), which is taken up by metabolically active tissue. When combined with CT scanning it can provide information about both anatomical and metabolic activity. FDG is rapidly taken up by malignant tumours and, as a result, is often used for diagnosing, staging, and monitoring response in cancers.

Abstract:

Abstract Over the last two decades, there have been major advances in imaging, endoscopy, and laparoscopy in the field of gastrointestinal (GI) surgery. GI surgery is the newest super-specialty branch of general surgery where enhanced expertise and high-volume centres have made a difference to the outcomes of complex operations. Surgeons can now do difficult procedures with low morbidity and mortality rates and greatly improved overall results. This volume provides detailed and up-to-date information on diseases of the pancreas. The pancreas continues to fascinate clinicians and researchers worldwide, due to its anatomical location deep inside the abdominal cavity and the various functions of the gland, some of which are well understood, but with others remaining ill defined. Last, but certainly not least, pancreatic surgery, along with liver surgery, remains the final frontier for the vast majority of gastrointestinal and hepato-pancreato-biliary surgeons. The information explosion in this era has resulted in cutting-edge developments in acute pancreatitis, chronic pancreatitis, and pancreatic cancer. Comprising evidence-based contributions from recognized leaders in pancreatology, this book covers contemporary issues in acute and chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer to help practising surgeons and pancreatologists with the most up-to-date concepts in management. It will be a valuable resource for pancreas specialists, general surgeons with an interest in pancreatic diseases, researchers, and medical students.

Abstract:

Abstract The primary focus of this book is as a revision tool for general surgical trainees preparing for the FRCS examination, and in particular those declaring colorectal surgery as an area of special interest. It has been written specifically to address the curriculum designed and approved by the Association of Coloproctology of Great Britain and Ireland and the Intercollegiate Surgical Curriculum Project. The book is designed to provide easy access to relevant, up-to-date, and evidence-based information in a portable format which can be used at work or wherever time is available for study. While the handbook is not meant to replace the use of an in-depth reference text, it does aim to provide comprehensive coverage of the curriculum, including sections on related specialties and applied anatomy. Further sections address the presentation of colorectal disease in the outpatient clinic; a review of colorectal assessment tools; and detailed, practical information regarding the management of benign and malignant colonic and anorectal conditions. The 2nd edition of the book has undergone extensive updating to reflect some of the recent innovations in surgical practice. The most significant updates have taken place in the oncology and inflammatory bowel disease chapters. Additional new sections include robotic surgery, complete mesocolic excision, capsule colonoscopy, and the role of qFIT in lower GI investigation. Management of benign colorectal disease has also been revised to reflect current approaches to rectal prolapse and haemorrhoidal disease including updated guidelines for functional bowel conditions. The authors hope that this specialist handbook will be of interest to surgical trainees at all levels, including specialist nurses, general practitioners, and allied healthcare professionals who may be involved in the management of this patient group.
