Handbook of Gastrointestinal Motility and Functional Disorders is a
user-friendly handbook that reviews the latest and most up-to-date
information on the evaluation of symptoms and diagnostic tests of
GI motility and functional GI disorders and a practical approach on
how to treat these disorders. Each chapter is written by an
international expert in the field who was carefully chosen for his
or her renowned scientific and clinical expertise. The book brings
together the essence of science and art in the practice of
neurogastroenterology and GI motility. The chapters are enriched
with algorithms, tables, and figures to enhance learning and
readability. Each chapter follows a specific outline; chapters on
symptoms follow the format of definition, pathophysiology, and
evaluation of the symptoms, whereas the chapters on specific
disorders follow the format of definition, diagnosis, and
treatment. This allows for quick reading of the various chapters
and to gain up-to-date knowledge of the topic. Each chapter also
includes extensive color pictures and illustrations of each test
involved and descriptions of how to perform and interpret the
motility tests that are incorporated into patient care decisions.
Handbook of Gastrointestinal Motility and Functional Disorders by
Drs. Satish S. C. Rao, Henry P. Parkman, and Richard W. McCallum
will be useful for practicing physicians, junior academicians, GI
fellows, young faculty, motility laboratory personnel, surgeons,
internists, physician assistants, family practitioners, and nurse
practitioners who all encounter the common problems of dysphagia,
heartburn, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, irritable bowel
syndrome, constipation, and fecal incontinence in their daily
practice. The update on management and therapy completes the
Handbook of Gastrointestinal Motility and Functional Disorders and
explains how to integrate this diagnostic information into decision
making, and how to translate this to day-to-day patient care.
