This book reviews the latest advances in treating ulcerative colitis. Its structure is designed to reflect the natural presentation of the disease; accordingly, it starts with the symptoms and the clinical picture, before addressing the use of radiological and endoscopic studies that are performed to make a diagnosis, and the role of the pathological examination. The book also includes detailed information on the medical treatment of the disease, written by some of the most expert gastroenterologists in the field, while also paying considerable attention to the latest medical treatments and to expected future developments.The book describes various surgical techniques for ulcerative colitis in detail, providing readers with concrete guidelines on which is the most appropriate operation to perform in any given case. It also presents extensive information on the most important operation, the formation of the IPAA (ileal pouch-anal anastomosis), together with helpful tips and tricks. A closing chapter addresses the long-term complications that can occur after a pouch formation, and what to do for each case. As such, the book offers a unique and comprehensive guide for surgeons, gastroenterologists, researchers and students alike.

Questo libro è un testo introduttivo ai circuiti per i corsi delle Facoltà di Ingegneria, al primo livello. Esso parte dai concetti di intensità di corrente, tensione e potenza elettrica, introducendo le leggi di Kirchhoff ed il modello circuitale su base fisica. Vengono poi introdotti gli elementi circuitali fondamentali ed illustrate le proprietà generali dei circuiti. Successivamente sono trattati i circuiti lineari e tempo invarianti in maniera completa, sviluppandone le principali tecniche di analisi. Nonostante il taglio introduttivo e l¿attenzione ad uno stile piano ed accessibile, il testo si propone di affrontare il modello circuitale in modo rigoroso ed al tempo stesso moderno.
