Pathophysiology of the Enteric Nervous System
Over the last few years there have been huge advances made in our understanding of the interactions between the brain and the gut – the enteric nervous system. This book is particularly relevant in the understanding, diagnosis and management of irritable bowel syndrome – the most common functional disorder of the bowel. IBS has been diagnosed in 10-20% of adults in the US, and symptoms of IBS are responsible for more than 3 million visits to the physician in the US. This book is aimed at specialist gastroenterologists but also should be of interest for trainees and fellows in gastroenterology, as well as PCPs and GPs with an interest in this subject.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Irritable Bowel Syndrome: A clinican's guide provides a very up-to-date overview of this controversial disease, focusing in particular on diagnosis, management and treatment, but also covering epidemiology and new pathophysiologic advances. Tailored to the needs of today's practicing clinician, the book clearly explains the role of diet in treatment of IBS, the use of antidepressants, bulking agents and antispasmodics, as well as including a thorough review of serotinergic drugs and emerging treatments and pharmacotherapies. The management of the disease from the primary care perspective, and the relationship between the doctor and the patient in the treatment of the disease, are also compre...
Multi-Dimensional Clinical Profile (MDCP) for the Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders
The MDCP will bring knowledge to clinicians beyond the diagnostic criteria: to provide guidelines about the clinical profile of individual patients that will help in selecting more focused treatment options. The current diagnostic criteria for functional GI disorders helps to classify patients for research studies. However, it does not capture the full dimensionality of a patient's clinical profile. For example an IBS patient seen in primary care may be treated quite differently from a patient with the same diagnosis seen at a major medical center, the latter having with more severe symptoms, psychological co-morbidities or more severe physiological disturbances. Therefore the multi-dimensional clinical profile permits an ability to characterize the patient not only in terms of the diagnosis as currently exists but also in terms of any clinical modifiers (e.g., IBS-C, D, or M), the impact of the condition (mild, moderate or severe), the presence of any psychosocial modifiers, or the degree of physiological dysfunction and biomarkers. This will help to direct the type and degree of treatments .
ROME IV FUNCTIONAL GASTROINTESTINAL DISORDERS Disorders of Gut-Brain Interaction
As with earlier book editions beginning in 1994, the Rome IV textbook is a comprehensive update of knowledge in FGIDs and in the Rome IV diagnostic criteria. It is a 1,500-page, two-volume book created by 117 internationally recognized clinicians and investigators in the field. Volume I contains a comprehensive set of background chapters on neurogastroenterology (basic science and physiology); pharmacology, pharmacokinetics and pharmacogenomics; age, gender, women's health and the patient's perspective; cross-cultural aspects of FGIDs; the role of the microenvironment (food and microbiota); and biopsychosocial aspects of assessment and management.Volume II provides the key clinical informati...
Intestinal Failure
This is the second and fully updated edition of the successful volume on intestinal failure in adults and children. The book provides a comprehensive coverage of all aspects of intestinal failure: from acute and chronic intestinal failure management and treatment, to outcomes, consequences and problems of treatment. In addition, 20 new chapters have been added, covering acute and chronic pancreatitis, critical care and abdominal pain among other topics. Each of the chapters contains a section with top tips on the topic, summarizing the essential take-home messages. Highly educational, this book is a must have for gastroenterologists but is of use for all members of a hospital nutrition support team including nurses, dietitians and pharmacists, whom it will serve as a practical guide for management of intestinal failure both in the hospital and in an outpatient setting. Written by a multidisciplinary author team, this book brings this important subject to a wide readership. With extensive referencing the book provides a detailed overview of the topic, discussing the latest research in the subject and how this relates to current clinical practice and potential future treatments.
