Produktbeschreibung

Clinical experts synthesize for the practicing physician all the important developments that have occurred recently in the diagnosis and treatment of acid-related diseases. They address the evaluation of patients suspected of harboring both peptic ulcers and ulcers from other causes, with emphasis on novel aspects of H. pylori infection. New information is also provided to assist clinicians in efficiently managing patients with dyspepsia and in the diagnosis and treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), including its extraesophageal manifestations and upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Authoritative and highly readable, Diseases of the Gastroesophageal Mucosa: The Acid-Related Disorders distills a wealth of cutting-edge clinical practice into one readable volume that will help every clinician manage patients with today's best diagnostic and treatment practice.

The text is informative and precise...Overall, the textbook represents a significant effort and beautiful overview of the subject of acid-related disease." - Canadian Journal of Gastroenterology "This is an excellent book on the clinical evaluation and management of peptic ulcer disease and GERD.
