Physiology of the Gastrointestinal Tract, Fifth Edition — winner of a 2013 Highly Commended BMA Medical Book Award for Internal Medicine — covers the study of the mechanical, physical, and biochemical functions of the GI Tract while linking the clinical disease or disorder, bridging the gap between clinical and laboratory medicine. The gastrointestinal system is responsible for the breakdown and absorption of various foods and liquids needed to sustain life. Other diseases and disorders treated by clinicians in this area include: food allergies, constipation, chronic liver disease and cirrhosis, gallstones, gastritis, GERD, hemorrhoids, IBS, lactose intolerance, pancreatic, appendicitis,...
Over the last decade, considerable progress has been made in understanding cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in gastrointestinal mucosal injury and repair. These findings provide the basis to identify the etiology and pathogenesis of various gut mucosal injury-related diseases and to develop new therapeutic approaches. The publication at hand is divided into three sections: Epithelial restitution, mucosal repair and ulcer healing, and experimental therapeutics. The first part highlights the early rapid mucosal restitution, focussing on the roles of extracellular matrix, cytoskeleton, cytokines, Ca2+ signaling, polyamines, and the protein kinase C/DAG pathways. The next section deals...

Essential Medical Physiology equips you with the solid background in physiology you need in medicine and the biomedical sciences. Critical problem-solving skills are emphasized throughout to facilitate your comprehension, assimilation, and integration of fundamental physiologic principles and processes. Other student-friendly features include chapter-opening lists of "Key Points" that identify the major points covered, with key terms and concepts highlighted for quick review; "Clinical Notes" sections that underscore the critical relationships between specific physiologic principles and processes and their relevance in different clinical settings; hundreds of drawings, tables, flowcharts, algorithms, and other visual devices that summarize essential principles and concepts. New to the Second Edition of Essential Medical Physiology are thoroughly updated and revised sections on cardiovascular, respiratory, and renal physiology, as well as a comprehensive new section covering the physiology of the central nervous system.
