Gastroenterologi

VEJEN TIL EN GOD AFFØRING Du føler dig utilpas i maven. Du har lagt dig på sofaen og kan ikke andet end at vente på, at det går over. Du bliver nervøs for, om det er noget farligt – og at ringe til lægen er i hvert fald for pinligt … Hver dag har tusindvis af danskere problemer med afføringen. Afføringsproblemer er et stort tabu og en kilde til megen ubehag – fysisk og psykisk. Samtidig kan de være årsag til, at man trækker sig fra sociale sammenhænge og ikke lever sit liv fuldt ud. Maveproblemerne kan have mange årsager: Forstoppelse, diarre, ufrivillig afføring, luft i maven, irritabel tyktarm (IBS). Men disse tilstande er ikke menneskelige grundvilkår – de kan og skal behandles. Med bogen her får du to eksperters råd til, hvordan du atter opnår en rigtig god mavefornemmelse. Fra ende til anden er en brugbar guide til, hvad du selv kan gøre for at få det bedre, og hvornår du skal søge professionel hjælp. Gerd Johnsen er specialsygeplejerske, SD, underviser, forfatter og brevkasseredaktør. Til daglig rådgiver hun borgere, kommuner, hospitaler og private klinikker om afførings- og tarmproblematikker. Lotte Fynne er speciallæge, ph.d. og forsker i mave- og tarmlidelser. Behandler til daglig patienter med afføringsforstyrrelser, mavesmerter og opkastning, herunder specielt folk med forstoppelse og irritabel tyktarm.

Basisbog i medicin og kirurgi udgør en overskuelig dansksproget introduktion til de to centrale kliniske fag på medicinstudiet: intern medicin og kirurgi. I bogens indhold og opbygning er der lagt vægt på hyppige og almindelige sygdomme samt på mere sjældne tilstande, hvor manglende viden om sygdommen kan få fatale konsekvenser for patienten. I denne 5. udgave er det grundlæggende koncept justeret og videreudviklet på baggrund af kommentarer fra bl.a. studerende og læger. For at sikre fornyelse og foryngelse er en del af forfatterne blevet udskiftet, hvilket har betydet store og væsentlige ændringer i mange af kapitlerne. Som en ekstra nyskabelse suppleres bogen af en hjemmeside med mange spændende og interessante cases. Basisbog i medicin og kirurgi er først og fremmest en basal lærebog for medicinstuderende, men bogen henvender sig også til andre inden for sundhedsvæsenet, der har brug for en overskuelig og opdateret viden inden for intern medicin og kirurgi.

GAPS ® er lanceret af neurolog, ernæringsekspert og mor til en forhenværende autist, Natasha Campbell-McBride. Det står for Gut and Psychology Syndrome, en fælles betegnelse for diagnoser og symptomer med rod i en tarmflora, der er ude af balance. Ud over sin egen kliniske erfaring og forskning har Natasha Campbell-McBride udviklet kuren på baggrund af kollegers erfaringer, der er indsamlet og/eller dokumenteret gennem knap 100 år. GAPS-kogebogen handler om den køkkenmæssige side af GAPS-kuren. Ud over at udstikke de overordnede retningslinjer bringer bogen de lækreste opskrifter på hjemmelavet mad af gode råvarer, hvor trends som økologi, dyrevelfærd, gamle madlavningsteknikker, fermentering, fondkogning, juicing samt brug af smør og masser af andre gode, gammeldags fedtstoffer er i højsædet. Man lærer, hvordan man i en periode af sit liv kan lave velsmagende sukker- og stivelsesfri GAPS-mad til hverdag og fest året rundt – med et bedre helbred som gevinst. Nyere tids boom i forskning i tarmmikrober slår fast, at grundlaget for sundhed og trivsel skal findes i fordøjelsen. Det er altså her, vi skal sætte ind, hvis vi ønsker at reparere helbredet. Vælger du at følge GAPS-kuren, er denne kogebog din bedste ven i køkkenet! Om forfatteren Signe Gad er selvlært madentusiast og udvikler af opskrifterne i GAPS-kogebogen. Uddannet skuespiller, lærer i alexanderteknik samt freelance speaker. Blogger og artikelskribent i forskellige tidsskrifter. Efter 4 intense år med GAPS-mad, research og eksperimenteren springer hun nu ud som kogebogsforfatter , idet hun har skrevet den kogebog, som hun selv manglede, da hun for 4 år siden tog sagen i egen hånd for at hjælpe sin datter af med den mavepine, der havde hjemsøgt hende i 7 år. Som en sidegevinst har hun også selv fået has på diverse fysiske plager ved at følge GAPS-kuren.

Vi er vant til at snakke om alle mulige slags emner; botox, uønsket hårvækst, sex osv. Men hvis snakken skulle falde på toiletbesøg og dets resultat – eller mangel på samme, så begynder øjnene at flakke og stemmelejet forstummer, for alle ved jo, at i hvert fald vi kvinder helst skal dufte af rosenvand, når vi har været ude og lave nummer to. Vi giver det mindst muligt opmærksomhed – for det er jo både ulækkert og klamt. Det skal bare overstås i stilhed og diskretion – lugtfrit og lydløst – og helst hjemme under private omgivelser. I takt med at flere og flere mennesker lider af forstoppelse, irritabel tyktarm og oppustethed, så stiger salget af afføringsmidler og sygedage også. Vores hverdag i hamsterhjulet har sat kroppen skakmat og kombineret med en fremmedgjorthed og afstandtagen til kroppens naturlige udskillelse af vores afføring, ja, så bliver det svært. Da jeg åbnede klinik i 2005, var dr. Dennis Raahave allerede et veletableret og respekteret navn for folk, der havde fordøjelsesproblemer. Han var den eneste læge, der rigtig tog folks lidelser seriøst, og han var en eftertragtet herre med lang ventetid. Som en yngre tarmskyller indgød han en vis respekt tangerende til det autoritære. Han var jo det allerypperste videnscenter inden for mit område, og jeg husker, at det var med lige dele spænding og ærefrygt, da jeg fik lov til at følge ham en dag på hans Tarmlaboratorium på Hillerød hospital. Ligeså formelt jeg synes, han kunne være, ligeså gavmild og generøs var han med sine mangeårige erfaringer, som han gladelig delte ud af. Da vores veje krydsede mange år senere, var ideen om en bog om fordøjelsessystemet allerede sået. Raahave og jeg fandt hurtig ud af, at vores drive til at oplyse andre mennesker om det tabu, andre helst ikke ville tale om, var stærkere end nogensinde. Det er vores håb, at du vil blive oplyst, hvorfor din fordøjelse er så vigtig for din sundhed og velvære, uden at det skal blive for højttravlede og kedeligt. Vi kan gå i bad, klæde os pænt på og slutte af med et par stænk af dyr parfume, men hvad hjælper det, hvis vi er så forstoppet, at vi lider af kronisk dårlig ånde, uren hud, er så oppustet, så kjolen snærer - og mangler letheds fornemmelsen efter toiletbesøg? Glem buzzwords som glutenintolerance og detoxkure - et godt forhold til sin afføring er det nye sorte. Man kan vel ikke gøre for, at man har tarme. Om forfatterne Forfatterne bag bogen er; dr. med. Dennis Raahave, ph.d. speciallæge i kirurgi og kirurgiske mave-­tarmsygdomme, tidl. overlæge på tarmlaboratorie på Hillerød sygehus og Pia Brixved – der på 12. år driver tarmskylningsklinikken Colonic.

Fordøjelsen er ikke et emne, vi taler højt om – men det burde vi måske, når nu 1,5 millioner danskere går rundt med fordøjelsesproblemer. Blandt andet har op mod hver anden kvinde kronisk oppustet mave, og hver femte henvendelse til lægen drejer sig om mavesmerter.Alle, der har prøvet det, kan skrive under på, at vrøvl med maven går ud over ens generelle velbefindende. Heldigvis er det ret nemt at få identificeret éns personlige maveproblem og få gjort noget ved det – én gang for alle. Og det tager kun seks uger!I Sund mave sådan! tager læge Søs Wollesen læserne med på en guidet tur gennem hele fordøjelsessystemet, og hun giver løsninger og lindring, uanset om man bøvler med hård, løs, stresset eller oppustet mave. Hun fortæller også, hvilken mad og drikke, der skaber ravage i fordøjelsen og hvilken, der understøtter en sund mave og et stærkt immunforsvar.Ud over nyttige oversigter og informative bokse indeholder bogen en 6 ugers kur, som læserne kan følge for at få en mave i balance. Til inspiration er der bag i bogen en lang stribe mavevenlige madopskrifter. God appetit – og rigtig god fordøjelse!

Lægen Carsten Vagn-Hansen, i mange år praktiserende læge og berømt i det ganske land som Radiodoktoren, beskriver i denne bog menneskets fordøjelseskanal "fra mund til bund". Hvert stadium på madens vej fra munden, gennem spiserøret, mavesækken og ud i tarmene beskrives. Undervejs beskrives også lever, galdeblære og bugspytkirtel. Der fortælles om, hvilke sygdomme de forskellige organer kan blive ramt af, og hvordan man kan lindre og afhjælpe dem. Forfatteren kommer med mange gode råd og forslag til, hvordan man holder sig rask og netop undgår disse sygdomme, ikke mindst ved at sørge for at få en sund kost. Kostens betydning og vigtigheden af en god madkultur fremhæves. Bogen er skrevet i et ligefremt sprog og er forsynet med et grundigt stikordsregister, så læserne hurtigt kan finde frem til lige netop det organ eller den sygdom, de er interesseret i.

Er du blevet vant til altid at gå og have det halvskidt? spørger Niels Poulseni indledningsvist. Det centrale punkt i diætistens bog om maven i balance er, at der sandsynligvis vil være en overvækst af candidasvamp, hvis det første spørgsmål besvares positivt. Samtidig lider mange, som har denne candidasvamp ofte af lavt blodsukker, katar, parasitter og syre/base-ubalancer, som ofte er relateret til tarmsystemet.Der findes efterhånden mange bøger, der tager fat om ernæringens betydning, men sta- digvæk for få, der belyser fordøjelsens enorme rolle for vores helbred. Det gør Niels Poulsen!”Mange er ikke klare over, at vi ikke kun har én hjerne, men to. Den anden og selvstæn- dige hjerne er vores mave og fordøjelsessystem, der uafhængigt af vores hjerne i hovedet sørger for, at vi optager alle nødvendige næringsstoffer, siger Carsten Vagn-Hansen i bogens forord.Igennem en kur og et udrensningsforløb vil du opdage at symptomer forsvinder, og kroppen kommer mere i balance; derved skaber du grundlag for en ny og forbedret livsstil. Ligeledes ska- ber du en form for ny bevidsthed omkring kostens betydning for kroppen og psyken.Bogen indeholder derfor mange madopskrifter til både børn og voksne, der gør det lettere at komme igennem kuren. Bogen indeholder også forskellige cases for både børn og voksne, hvor de har fortalt om deres forløb til et bedre helbred.Det er noget nær en tragedie, at lægerne og sundhedsvæsenet dels har en meget dårlig ud- dannelse i kosten og dens betydning, og dels ikke har fulgt med i den megen nye viden, der findes om candidasvampe, utæt tarm og dens årsager. Det gør Maven i balance til et hovedværk, som hundredetusinder vil kunne konsultere med udbytte.

This textbook is based on the curricula for dental students in the Nordic countries, and the authors teach the subject at three universities in Denmark, Norway and Sweden. Although primarily for undergraduates, the book may also appeal to Ph.D. students and general practitioners. In addition, dental assistants and trainees may find it a useful source of reference. The contents are based on general microbiology and immunology. Oral microbiology is given particular attention, with examples relevant to oral infectious diseases.Each chapter opens with a relatively short pre-reading section, followed by a fact box containing most of the relevant basic definitions concerning the particular chapter. The body of the text is supplemented with more fact boxes and the essentials of each section are summarised in main points. It is the authors’ intention that each chapter should be read as a self contained unit. This has resulted in deliberate repetition and cross-reference within and between chapters.Bogen er en fælles nordisk lærebog i mikrobiologi og immunologi for tandlægestuderende, og teksten er sammensat så bogen passer til undervisningen i både Norge, Danmark og Sverige.
