Remarkable progress has been made in our knowledge of celiac disease, yet the diagnosis is often overlooked. The practical challenge for healthcare professionals is to identify the disease and offer patients a gluten-free diet that will restore most to full health and help to prevent further complications. This comprehensively revised second edition of 'Fast Facts: Celiac Disease', written by three international experts, considers: • Celiac disease in all its forms - typical, atypical, silent, potential and latent • Gluten sensitivity, genetic risk and predisposing physiological abnormalities • The variable presentation of disease in both adults and children • Associated immune disorders • The puzzle of diagnosis, solved by clinical, serological, histological and genetic investigation • Troublesome, and sometimes life-threatening, non-malignant complications • The close links between celiac disease and dermatitis herpetiformis • The risk of malignancy, its treatment and prognosis • Management with a gluten-free diet, and the emotional and social implications of the diet • Potential new therapies Highly readable with informative illustrations, 'Fast Facts: Celiac Disease' provides an up-to-date account of this common yet easily missed condition. It is an excellent clinical resource for the primary care team, gastroenterologists in training and anyone who wants to know more about this challenging disease.

The peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCLs) are a heterogenous group of rare entities. Whilst cytogenetic and molecular identifiers are being identified, accurate diagnosis remains challenging, requiring careful, expert integration of the clinical and pathological findings. The treatment of PTCL is also challenging. Protocols for the different subtypes are only just beginning to emerge, hindered by the complexities of conducting trials in such uncommon and varied conditions. While first-line treatment with conventional chemotherapy is seldom curative, patients who achieve remission may be eligible for stem cell transplantation, offering the possibility of long-term disease control if not cure. Targeted biologics are also being developed as unique cytotoxic markers are identified. 'Fast Facts: Peripheral T-Cell Lymphomas' is a new title in the Fast Facts extensive hemato-oncology library, written by experts in this emerging field. This handbook will be useful to anyone involved in the care of patients with PTCL, including haematologists, oncologists, specialist nurses and primary care providers, raising awareness of these rare lymphomas and the current – and emerging – approaches to diagnosis and treatment.

'Fast Facts: The Gut Microbiome', though pithy and concise, is amazingly comprehensive and takes the reader through all major aspects of the human gut microbiome and microbiome science. The depth of Professor Shanahan’s knowledge of the science of the microbiome is evident throughout but what transforms this volume from a mere recitation of what we know to a truly critical and accessible exposition on what matters is the critical eye of the clinician who must make decisions that will affect a patient's health.
