Written by leaders in the emerging area of transnasal esophagoscopy (TNE), this full-color atlas is the first comprehensive how-to reference on this technology. The authors define the indications for the procedure, provide step-by-step instructions on technique, and describe the full range of anatomy and pathology seen during TNE examinations. Major sections focus on disease-specific applications of TNE, including esophagitis, webs and rings, hiatal hernia, Barrett's metaplasia, neoplasia, and miscellaneous esophageal problems such as foreign bodies, diverticula, caustic injuries, and varices. More than 100 full-color endoscopic images depict both normal esophageal anatomy and abnormalities as seen through the endoscope.

Most of us think of acid reflux disease as something annoying, a nuisance. When someone hears the words “acid reflux” they generally think of it as the symptoms of stomach bloating, stomach gas and heartburn, usually caused by eating spicy food late at night. Often, we treat our heartburn by going to the local drugstore and buying over the counter medications such as Tums, Alka-Seltzer, Maalox, and Pepto-Bismol. “Plop plop, fizz, fizz the heartburn goes away so now I can continue on with my day.” Alas, how we all wish it was that simple. The fact is that tens of millions of people have acid reflux without heartburn. How could that be? Dr. Jonathan E. Aviv, MD, FACS, a world-renowned physician, surgeon, educator, and inventor, and one of the leading authorities on the diagnosis and treatment of acid reflux disease, cough, and voice and swallowing disorders, draws upon his decades of medical experience, both in and out of the operating room, to bring you the real story of acid reflux disease and its devastating impact on the general public. He explicitly and meticulously connects the extremely acidic, highly processed "food" Westerners eat, to acid reflux disease, and ultimately to esophageal cancer. This connection is a startling breakthrough and Dr. Aviv provides a solution with his Acid Watcher® Diet, a unique dietary program that combines low acid foods along with the three macro-nutrients with a high fiber component, to make delicious, healthy meals, designed using easy to follow recipes and meal plans, to keep your body acid free while maintaining excellent health for years to come. Killing Me Softly From Inside is not just another medical self-help book, it may very well be a prescription that can one day save your life.

Dr. Aviv, the inventor of FEESST (Flexible Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing with Sensory Testing), provides an innovative approach to the assessment and treatment of swallowing disorders. The book, written for the medical professional, is illustrated with numerous photos, and also features practical coverage of the use of instrumentation as well as case examples. FEESST enables otolaryngologists, gastroenterologists, and pulmonologists to raise the level of care for their patients with swallowing problems. This is an essential text for all physicians, clinicians and speech pathologists that treat swallowing disorders. For the first time this new examination allows direct assessment of both the motor and sensory aspects of the swallow, enabling physicians to precisely guide the dietary and behavioral management of patients to decrease the risk of aspiration pneumonia. Dr. Aviv, along with Dr. Thomas Murry, PhD, SLP, provides readers with the science behind the instrumentation, the protocols for its use, and detailed case studies demonstrating its value in evaluating and managing diverse groups including patients with a history of reflux, recent stroke patients experiencing difficulty swallowing or throat clearing or choking during meals. FEESST is also applicable to patients with an underlying diagnosis of Parkinson's Disease, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, ALS, or dementia, along with patients with a history of upper respiratory infections, unexplained fevers, aspiration pneumonia, or asthma.
