Andreas Beck – författare

Percutaneous transluminal angioscopy is opening up exciting possibilities for the interventional radiologist, since it can picture vascular features with an accuracy and clarity that previously has not been possible. Dr. Beck paves the way for the use of this new tool in clinical diagnosis; he details the technical prerequisites, gives step-by-step instructions for applying the technique and discusses how to interprete the resulting images. The amazing results of percutaneous angioscopy are compared with the results of conventional angioscopy. This approach introduces the new and unknown in perspective with the tried and trusted of the past. Major advantages become obvious: unclear or uncertain angiographical findings can be cleared up, interventional procedures can be supported, and the effects of interventional radiology can be seen before and after vascular treatment. The author''s unique insight and systematic approach to the vascular system make this atlas a truly pioneering work.

Die arterielle Verschlußerkrankung der oberen Extremität ist keine seltene Erkrankung, kann jedoch die verschiedensten Ursachen haben. Der Autor stellt das breite Spektrum sämtlicher bildgebender Untersuchungsmethoden dar. Neben der konventionellen Kontrastmittelangiographie werden die Methoden der digitalen Subtraktionsangiographie, der Angioskopie und der MR-Angiographie besprochen. Außerdem werden die Therapien der interventionellen Radiologie wie Stent-Implantation, lokale Lysetherapie sowie Dilatations- und Rekanalisationsbehandlungen dargestellt.Für Ärzte in Klinik und Praxis

This bilingual edition of the Synopsis Purioris Theologiae (1625) provides English readers access to an influential textbook of Reformed Orthodoxy. Composed by four professors at the University of Leiden (Johannes Polyander, Andreas Rivetus, Antonius Walaeus, and Anthonius Thysius), it offers a presentation of Reformed theology as it was conceived in the first decades of the seventeenth century. From a decidedly Reformed perspective, the Christian doctrine is defined in contrast with alternative or diverging views, such as those of Roman Catholics, Arminians, and Socinians. The Synopsis responds to challenges coming from the immediate theological, social, and philosophical contexts. The disputations in this the third volume cover such topics as the sacraments, church discipline, the role of civil authorities, and eschatology. This volume also presents a thorough historical and theological introduction to the whole of the Synopsis.
