Drug-induced mucosal damage is of immense importance in
gastroenterology. It is imperative that clinicians understand how
these lesions come about, what the sometimes devastating
consequences are and what can be done to prevent or to treat such
calamities. Drug-induced damage is bound to increase in the future
as the population ages and polypharmacy becomes the rule instead of
the exception. Hopes for improvement were shattered when the long
term consequences of COX-2 inhibition became available. Is the
COX-1/COX-2 concept truly obsolete? Several issues are discussed by
European experts in the second part of the book. What the clinician
should know about non acid, weakly acid or biliary reflux is
discussed in depth. Novel developments of gastrointestinal
neuropathies and motor disorders concentrate on IBS,
pseudo-obstruction and faecal incontinence. Our surgical colleagues
will certainly be interested in novel minimally invasive
procedures. Finally all will learn from a critical analysis of
novel diagnostic imaging modalities.
