This atlas aims to systematically provide a case-by-case discussion on selected interventional endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) procedures and how to approach such procedures on different patients. The atlas offers illustrations of the interventional procedures and several cases of the procedures are included. Within each case, a standardized report is provided including a brief history, imaging findings, a detailed discussion on treatment options, considerations in the EUS intervention, how to perform the procedures and final outcomes. EUS-guided drainages of the bile duct, pancreatic duct, gallbladder and abscesses are summarized. Ablative procedures including celiac plexus, pancreatic cyst and radiofrequency ablations are also covered. Other procedures guided by EUS, including gastroenterostomy, injected therapy, iodine beads insertion and fiducial marker insertion and endovascular interventions are further demonstrated. Gastroenterologists and surgeons can benefit from this atlas on learning strategies and preparing for these procedures.
Whereas other textbooks mix a clinical approach with large amounts of the basic science of gastroenterology, this book concentrates on providing practicing gastroenterologists with 100% clinically focused, evidence-based chapters on how to correctly diagnosis and treat all disorders of the digestive tract. Once again, the book is divided into 4 clear parts: Symptoms, Syndromes and Scenarios; Diseases of the Gut and Liver; Primer of Diagnostic Methods; and Primer of Treatments. An accompanying website contains more than 85 high-definition surgical videos of diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopic procedures, 300 MCQs written to mirror the American College of Gastroenterology postgraduate course exams, more than 35 management protocol charts for different diseases, and 850+ illustrations for use in scientific presentations.

This book aims to enhance understanding of the interactions between the international and national rule of law. It demonstrates that the international rule of law is not merely about ensuring national compliance with international law. International law and institutions (eg, international human rights treaty-monitoring bodies and human rights courts) respond to national contestations and show deference to the national rule of law. While this might come at the expense of the certainty of international law, it suggests that the international rule of law can allow for flexibility, national diversity and pluralism. The essays in this volume are set against the background of increasing conflict between international and national legal norms. Moreover the book shows that international law and institutions do not always command blind national obedience to international law, but incorporate a process of adjustment and deference to national law and policies that are protected by the rule of law at the national level.
