Book Description
Excerpt from The Pancreas: Its Surgery and Pathology Our present knowledge of the physiology, pathology, and surgery of the pancreas, like so many other advances in medicine in recent years, was rendered possible by the beneficent work of Lister. So long as clinical observation was only capable of being checked by the experience of the post-mortem room, and by an occasional accidental experiment on the living subject, the important and complex part that the pancreas plays in the physiology of the body remained unsuspected, and descriptions of the diseases to which it is liable were confined to a few lines on malignant disease, cysts, and calculi. Animal experiments, now rendered safe by antiseptic surgery and improved technique, have thrown a flood of light on the physiology of the organ and elevated it from the position of a mere accessory digestive gland to the rank of a structure indispensable for the metabolic needs of the organism. The numerous laparotomies undertaken in recent years have afforded the surgeon opportunities of observing and handling the living organ, both in health and disease, and a comparison of the conditions noticed, together with a closer investigation of the symptoms and after-histories of the cases, has very, considerably widened our conception of the pathological changes that may occur in the gland and afforded a basis for their clinical differentiation. Histological and post-mortem inquiries, stimulated by the impetus thus given, have still further increased our knowledge, and confirmed the conclusions of the bedside and the operating theatre.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Pancreas: Its Surgery and Pathology In the chapter on histology, and again later under the heading of diabetes, we have discussed the structure and supposed functions of those characteristic groups of cells known as the islands of Langerhans. In doing so we have endeavoured to impartially summarise the evidence for and against the contending views that are held with regard to them, but, as will be gathered from the text, we personally are of opinion that the balance of available evidence strongly points to their being independent struc tures related to the control of carbohydrate metabolism within the body that the pancreas undoubtedly exerts.

Pathology of the Pancreas

Languages : en
Pages : 282
Book Description
The recent advances in the techniques for imaging the pancreas without surgical inter vention have reduced the inaccessibility of the pancreas. However, although certain lesions of the pancreas can now be recognised and localised without an operation, the pathology of the pancreas remains to be more thoroughly investigated. Moreover, the almost unrelated exocrine and endocrine functions of the pancreas have led to the management of different pancreatic diseases by different groups of specialists, while the effects of primarily non-pancreatic diseases upon the pancreas have tended to escape recognition. Even in the autopsy room the pancreas is often inadequately examined, and autolysis may make microscopiC examination unrewarding. This book is an attempt by a general histopathologist to make available some of his experience of the various aspects of pancreatic disease that he has encountered during his working career. My interest in the pathology of the pancreas was aroused while working with Prof. Arnold Rice Rich of the Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore. Rich himself, in his earlier work, had continued the tradition, begun in the same department of pathology by Opie, of carrying out morbid anatomical and experimental studies on pancreatic disease. Rich later became more involved in work on tuberculosis and on the collagen diseases but his interest in disease of the pancreas persisted and the work he allotted to me included an experimental study of chemically induced diabetes mellitus.

Clinical Pathology of Pancreatic Disorders
Author: John A. LottPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1461239648
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
The pancreas is about the size and shape of the hand; the tail points to the spleen, and the head is nestled in a loop of the duodenum. Loss of the exocrine (digestive) func tions commonly leads to severe gastrointestinal disturbances, malabsorption, a cata bolic state, and weight loss in the face of an adequate diet. Loss of endocrine pancreatic function leads to a large spectrum of disorders associated with the loss of hormone secretions; the most common and most severe is diabetes mellitus. Loss of the entire pancreas owing to trauma, surgery, atherosclerosis, or other medical problems leaves the patient in a digestive and metabolic crisis. The correct diagnosis of pancreatic disorders remains a challenge given the multi faceted function of the pancreas. The clinical laboratory plays an important role, and other tools such as CAT scans, ultrasound, radiographs, biopsies, and even surgery are used to make a diagnosis. The emphasis of Clinical Pathology of Pancreatic Disorders is on the clinical laboratory definition of pancreatic pathology. Disorders of the endocrine pancreas can be highly complex, and sophisticated tests are needed to determine the nature of the disease, its prognosis, and its optimal treat ment. Diabetes is the most common of the endocrine diseases; it presents in many ways, and has varied etiologies. We now know that the diabetes of childhood is usually an autoimmune disease, and this has a major effect on the treatment of these individuals.
Multidisciplinary Teaching Atlas of the Pancreas

Book Description
This innovative teaching atlas provides the reader with a practical approach to the diagnosis and management of the common and uncommon diseases that may involve the pancreatic gland. Its perspective is multidisciplinary, the authors being radiologists, surgeons, pathologists, and gastroenterologists who have worked together for the past 25 years. Very concise descriptions of clinical presentation, pathology, imaging, and management are provided for a great variety of pathologic conditions, and a wealth of illustrative material displays intraoperative appearances, gross specimens, histology, and radiological findings. Pancreatic surgery, including transplantation, is also discussed, and the final chapter presents a gallery of challenging and diverse cases. Specialists and residents in a range of specialties will find this atlas to be an invaluable aid, and it will also serve as an excellent reference for medical students.
