The inflammatory bowel diseases, of unknown etiology and for which
there are no cures, continue to attract the attention and interest
of gastroenterologists, internists and surgeons. International
symposia are common and it is safe to say that there is at least
one major symposium held somewhere in the world each year. This
book encompasses the proceedings of two recent symposia held in
Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. The symposia were the fifth and
sixth international meetings focused on inflammatory bowel disease
in Canada in the last eight years. Once again they were sponsored
by Axcan Pharma, Inc. (formerly Interfalk Canada, Inc.) and
endorsed by the Canadian Association of Gastroenterology. As has
become traditional at such meetings the faculty was drawn from an
international roster ofleaders in the field of inflammatory bowel
disease and gastroenterology. The chapters of the proceedings
provide a timely, up-to-date review of the major issues, including
those within the realm of basic science and others dealing with
clinical problems. The first symposium, 'Basic Research and
Clinical Implications', was co-ordinated by John Wallace in
association with Stephen Collins and Stephan Targan. The themes of
this section were organized under the general topics of
predisposing factors (genetics, animal models, infection,
permeability, and immune deficits) and the pathophysiology of
intestinal inflammation. The second symposium, Trends in Therapy'
was organized by Lloyd Sutherland along with Franc; ois Martin,
Robin McLeod and Noel Williams.
