About Encyclopedia Of Gastroenterology
Product Description Encyclopedia of Gastroenterology, Second Edition, Four Volume Set provides a comprehensive and concise reference on all aspects of gastroenterology and hepatology, including the organs in the gastrointestinal system, their functions in health and disease, and strategies or procedures to resolve or prevent problems and disease. This concise, up-to-date information includes comprehensive sections on the impact of nutrition, gastrointestinal microbiota, lifestyle, commonly used drugs, and surgical procedures on health and disease. Since the first edition, attention to the roles of nutrition and gastrointestinal microorganisms (microbiota, formerly Microbiota) in health and disease has skyrocketed. In addition, an entirely new section on obesity and diabetes is included. Review "This encyclopedia is a truly unique, remarkable, and impressive work. The author, contributors, and publisher are to be congratulated on such a massive undertaking. The book is well organized and cross referenced. It is a great addition to any medical school or medical center library. One of the unique features of this book is that it comes in an ebook version, which makes it interactive and accessible from anywhere in this age of extreme dependency on digital media.

Since then, there has been revolutionary progression in the field of gastroenterology and hepatology at all levels and surge in translational and pathophysiology research, let alone the ever expanding diagnostic and therapeutic options currently available.

The gastrointestinal system processes ingested food and liquid and plays a major role in regulating whether food is used as fuel or stored as fat. Few, if any, individuals will go through life without episodes of gastrointestinal (GI) disease or discomfort and globally, gastrointestinal disease is a leading cause of death. Gastrointestinal physiology and function encompass multiple organs and a huge range of diseases. This work will serve as a complete and invaluable reference for students, faculty, and medical professionals. The fundamental concept of the Encyclopedia of Gastroenterology is to provide concise, accurate and up to date information, on all aspects of normal gastrointestinal and liver function and specific diseases, including attention to the impact of nutrition, gastrointestinal Microbiota, lifestyle, commonly used drugs and surgical procedures on health and disease. Since the first edition, attention to the roles of nutrition and gastrointestinal microorganisms (microbiota, formerly Microbiota) in health and disease has skyrocketed. This area is expanded under a new section, "Microbiota and Parasites." Obesity and associated metabolic complications are at epidemic proportions and subject to new interventions including surgery, prebiotics and probiotics. An entire new section is added on obesity and diabetes. The four-volume Encyclopedia of Gastroenterology will serve as an invaluable foundational reference for the broadest range of readers with and without in
