The first comprehensive overview of an emerging field, Metabolic
Medicine and Surgery introduces a new paradigm in patient
management that crosses existing subspecialty boundaries. This
approach is necessitated by the challenges of treating patients
with obesity, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease and
prediabetes, as well as those with maldigestion, malabsorption,
malnutrition and nutritional deficiencies. This book teaches
physicians and surgeons what they need to know about clinical
nutrition, metabolism and the metabolic effects of bariatric
surgery. It is also applicable to those in primary care, including
physicians, residents, medical students, nurses and nurse
practitioners, physician assistants and dietitians who are on the
front lines of treating patients with obesity, diabetes and
cardiovascular disease. The book is presented in four sections: 1.
An Overview of Metabolic Medicine and Surgery; 2. Metabolic
Syndrome, Insulin Resistance and Obesity; 3. Diseases of
Undernutrition and Absorption; 4. A Nutritional Relationship to
Neurological Diseases. It contains chapters from world-renowned
experts who are widely published in major medical journals. The
book also benefits from the contributions of clinicians with
extensive experience and perspective in the field, including many
who have been witness to its major developments. This book's
strength lies in the cross-specialty consensus created by the
collaboration of the editors and further developed by their
renowned contributors. It demonstrates how medicine, surgery,
therapeutics, and nutrition can be combined synergistically to
impact patient outcomes. It crystallizes the efforts of a multitude
of physicians and scientists trying to control the linked pandemics
of obesity, type-2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. This book
helps you develop comprehensive solutions to diseases afflicting
vast numbers of patients worldwide.
