Our own experience shows that there is no simple, yet of good scientific and clinical quality guide for practitioners and patients on gastrointestinal diseases. In the proposed book we will cover a vast area in the field, from GI tract physiology to disease diagnosis and treatment, in a comprehensive and approachable manner. The guide will not replace online resources (often used by patients) or specialized editions addressing experienced medical doctors, but rather fill the gap between those two. Our aim is to design this book so that it appeals to a wider audience; yet - if needed - encourages to explore the field further.
List of contents
Introduction.- Physiology of the GI tract.- Pathophysiology and risk factors(environmental, genetic,other).- clinical features.- Diagostic criteria(with comments).- Clinical treatment.- Patient's guide.- Summary.

“This is one of a series of books pulling together the current thought about and understanding of the myriad of diseases that can impact the gastrointestinal system. … The audience is broad, including clinicians in training, experienced physicians who are looking for a refresher and an update on current thinking, and many other medical and ancillary personnel who wish to learn more about these seemingly overlapping problems. … The chapters are well researched, with numerous figures and extensive references.” (Vincent F. Carr, Doody's Book Reviews, May, 2017)
