The second edition was published in 2008, only two years after the first, but went out of print before a third edition could be prepared, so this revised version of the second edition is published to bridge the gap. Under the auspices of the Research Society for the Study of Diabetes in India, endocrinologists, immunologists, and other specialists present a broad reference on the disease of which India has more cases than any other country. After a review of landmarks in the history of diabetes, they cover physiology and metabolism, diagnosis and classification, epidemiology, etiopathogenesis of diabetes mellitus, genetics and immunology, clinical profile, management, co-morbid conditions, complications, diabetes through life and events, living with diabetes, health care delivery, and prevention. The two volumes are paged continuously, and both contain the combined index. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).

Swallowing difficulty or dysphagia is a common disorder and affects all age groups from the newborn to the elderly. Several medical conditions like lack of dentition, gastroesophageal reflux disease, eosinophilic esophagitis, cardiomegaly and strokes can cause dysphagia. It can also follow head -neck surgeries. It is important to diagnose and treat dysphagia, otherwise it can lead to malnutrition and dehydration. Improved understanding of the physiology of swallowing, advances in endoscopic and radiological techniques along with an increasing elderly population has resulted in development of a separate swallowing disorders discipline. This book would be an aid for clinicians, educators and trainees from the fields of speech language pathology, pediatrics, otolaryngology, gastroenterology, oncology, neurology, geriatrics and rehabilitation, all of who form a part of the multidisciplinary swallowing team.
