Sommario/riassunto

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.    Contents:    • Definition  • Epidemiology  • Pathophysiology  • Clinical manifestations  • Diagnosis  • Non-malignant complications  • Dermatitis herpetiformis  • Malignant complications  • Management  • Future trends  • Useful resources

Sommario/riassunto

In this illuminating collection, Charles Parsons surveys the contributions of philosophers and mathematicians who shaped the philosophy of mathematics over the course of the past century. Parsons begins with a discussion of the Kantian legacy in the work of L. E. J. Brouwer, David Hilbert, and Paul Bernays, shedding light on how Bernays revised his philosophy after his collaboration with Hilbert. He considers Hermann Weyl's idea of a "vicious circle" in the foundations of mathematics, a radical claim that elicited many challenges. Turning to Kurt Gödel, whose incompleteness theorem transformed debate on the foundations of mathematics and brought mathematical logic to maturity, Parsons discusses his essay on Bertrand Russell's mathematical logic--Gödel's first mature philosophical statement and an avowal of his Platonistic view. Philosophy of Mathematics in the Twentieth Century insightfully treats the contributions of figures the author knew personally: W. V. Quine, Hilary Putnam, Hao Wang, and William Tait. Quine's early work on ontology is explored, as is his nominalistic view of predication and his use of the genetic method of explanation in the late work The Roots of Reference. Parsons attempts to tease out Putnam's views on existence and ontology, especially in relation to logic and mathematics. Wang's contributions to subjects ranging from the concept of set, minds, and machines to the interpretation of Gödel are examined, as are Tait's axiomatic conception of mathematics, his minimalist realism, and his thoughts on historical figures.
