{"product_id":"9781461290025","title":"Topics in Gastroenterology","description":"\u003ch1\u003eTopics in Gastroenterology\u003c\/h1\u003e \u003ch2\u003eThomson, Alan B.R.; DaCosta, L.R.; Watson, William C.\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eA fine team of state-of-the-art researcher\/clinicians who know their fields, have contributed to the advancement of knowledge, and are in a position to judge what is truly important have here pooled their thoughts in a series of chapters on the cutting edges of gastroenterology. Four attributes render this volume superior to other update-oriented publications. The first striking feature, which is immediately evident upon scanning the table of contents, is the imaginative choice of subjects, ranging from trav­ eler's diarrhea and sexually transmitted GI infections through TPN and interventional endoscopy to geriatrics and iatrogenic disease. A second outstanding feature of this volume is its success in balanc­ ing basic pathophysiology with practical considerations of clinical man­ agement. This is achieved in the discussions of such diverse topics as acid-peptic diseases, infectious and other diarrheal syndromes, and hep­ atitis immunization. Throughout the book we are led smoothly from basic science principles to specific recommendations for diagnosis and therapy. This practical emphasis appears repeatedly and sometimes pro­ duces a delightful surprise, such as a chapter on radiology that is not tech­ nology-based but instead problem-oriented.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2011-10-28\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781461290025\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4613-1789-0\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 229cm x152cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 392\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47401216704652,"sku":"9781461290025","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781461290025.jpg?v=1775789774","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781461290025","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
