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.

Zielgruppe

<p>The encyclopedia will be an essential resource for medical students, PhD students, physicians within and outside Gastroenterology, non-physician translational scientists, nutrition students, dieticians, natural medicine practitioners, faculty teaching GI and liver physiology or gastroenterology and hepatology. The primary audience is established academics and researchers, faculty teaching staff and physicians, with medical students and other undergraduates comprising an important but secondary audience. In order to make the content as useful for the student market as possible, we will be including new summary chapters in the second edition to introduce the topics under discussion and make the content as accessible as possible for students entering the field from non-GI specialisms. </p>
