Hepatocellular Cancer : Diagnosis and Treatment
Recent advances in the use of ultrasound and computed tomography, in new drugs and drug combinations, as well as with increasingly successful liver transplantation have transformed not only our understanding of hepatocellular cancer (HCC), but also our clinical management of the disease. In Hepatocellular Cancer: Diagnosis and Treatment, highly experienced clinicians-many from Dr. Thomas Starzl's renowned liver transplant team at the University of Pittsburgh-present a fully synthesized practical approach to HCC patient management, including an up-to-date literature review. Their presentation includes all the latest developments in the diagnosis and treatment of primary liver cancer. A summary chapter details for physicians the diagnostic and therapeutic decision-making process for dealing with such problems as incidental tumors in the liver transplant, the role of neo-adjuvant chemotherapy, intra-arterial vs intravenous therapy, the uses of embolization, and the significance of portal vein thrombus. A value-added compact disk containing a companion ebook version of Hepatocellular Cancer: Diagnosis and Treatment is included for downloading and use in the reader's PC or PDA. Authoritative and highly practical, Hepatocellular Cancer: Diagnosis and Treatment captures for physicians the recent exciting changes in our understanding of hepatocellular cancer, focusing on today's optimal diagnostic methods, novel therapeutics, and day-to-day best management practices.
Aspirin tablet film coated with famotidine
Focuses on enhancing the gastrointestinal tolerance of aspirin tablets by coating them with famotidine, a histamine-2 receptor antagonist known for its ability to reduce stomach acid production. The project aims to investigate the potential of famotidine coating in mitigating the gastric side effects commonly associated with aspirin usage, such as gastric irritation and ulcers. Through a series of in vitro studies, the project will evaluate the effectiveness of famotidine-coated aspirin tablets in reducing gastric mucosal damage and improving overall gastrointestinal safety.
