Drs. Glen Furuta and Dan Atkins have assembled an in-depth look at Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Diseases as related to allergy with topics such as "Basic pathogenetic mechanisms of Eosinophilic Esophagitis", "Nutritional management of patients with food allergies and EGIDs", "Chemotactic factors role in EGIDs", "Biomarkers associated with allergic diseases", "Association of other allergic diseases with EGIDs" and much more!
As Guest Editor, Dr. Glenn Furuta has assembled an extraordinary group of highly accomplished individual players-pediatric and adult gastroenterologists, endoscopists, and surgeons, pathologists, immunologists, and allergists--to produce a state-of-the-art issue devoted to Eosinophilic Esophagitis. This disease is complex, and in its varying presentations in children and adults, may have more than one pathogenesis. One thing is certain: eosinophilic esophagitis is an important disease that causes considerable morbidity in those afflicted and is a major cause of esophageal symptoms, particularly dysphagia. Eosinophilic esophagitis is increasing in frequency like bronchial asthma, to which it has been compared. The relationship of eosinophilic esophagitis to gastroesophageal reflux disease remains poorly defined in some cases. Chronic eosinophilic esophagitis seems to lead to fibrosis in some patients, and eosinophilic esophagitis has been linked to the Schatzki ring long associated with hiatal hernia and GERD. These issues, as well as a strong emphasis on current approaches to diagnosis and therapy are presented.
This volume provides a history of Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE), a basic understanding of the physiology of the eosinophil, and a current understanding of the pathophysiology and genetics of EoE. The emphasis is on clinical applications including presenting symptoms, diagnosis and treatment options for patients with EoE. Written by both pediatric and adult experts in the fields of gastroenterology, allergy and pathology, this volume includes the most up to date information. Providing practical information useful in the treatment of patients, this book will be of great value to gastroenterologists, allergists, pathologists, medical residents, fellows, internists, and general practitioners who treat patients with eosinophilic esophagitis.
