Field of medicine: Gastroenterology.
Format: Softcover book.
Audience: Medical students, housestaff and trainees in gastroenterology, internists, and surgeons.
Purpose: To provide an in-depth but portable distillation of Yamada's Textbook of Gastroenterology. Particular emphasis is given to clinical aspects of gastrointestinal disease.
Content: Handbook of Gastroenterology follows the pattern of Textbook of Gastroenterology. The first 23 chapters present approaches to common gastrointestinal problems. The subsequent 50 chapters are devoted to specific categories of disease in the luminal gastrointestinal tract; the pancreaticobiliary system; and, in a useful departure from Textbook of Gastroenterology, the liver. The last 2 chapters are brief overviews of gastrointestinal endoscopy and imaging. Omitted are extensive sections on the basic mechanisms of normal and abnormal gastrointestinal function.
