"The editors, both experienced instructors, have created a systematic review of diseases and disorders of the digestive system - in self-assessment, problem-oriented form - designed to educate rather than just to test the reader." "They provide some 200 clinical cases covering a broad range of digestive, gut lumen, pancreatic and biliary problems likely to be present in both adult and paediatric patients. Relevant digestive tract physiology, pharmacology and nutrition topics are also included. The cases, featuring structured commentary, are in random order, reflecting clinical practice. They cover investigation, diagnosis and management strategies." "The book is invaluable to gastroenterologists, primary care physicians, endoscopy nurses, medical students, subspecialty trainees and recertifying practitioners."--BOOK JACKET.
