Fully revised from the previous edition and now including a multimedia companion website with a variety of features, the Textbook of Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology 2E will be the most comprehensive clinical gastroenterology textbook available. Whereas other textbooks mix a clinical approach with large amounts of the basic science of gastroenterology, this book concentrates on providing practicing gastroenterologists with 100% clinically focused, evidence-based chapters on how to correctly diagnosis and treat all disorders of the digestive tract. Joining Chris Hawkey and Jaime Bosch on this new edition are 3 editors of outstanding international fame, Joel Richter, Guadalupe Garcia-Tsao and Francis Chan. Between them, the editors have assembled a truly international contributor team from Europe, North America and Asia to be admired. Once again, the book is divided into 4 clear parts: Symptoms, Syndromes and Scenarios; Diseases of the Gut and Liver; Primer of Diagnostic Methods; and Primer of Treatments. Adopting a clear chapter template throughout in an attractive full colour design, it will provide the reader with the following: Unparalled fully clinical systematic approach to every symptom and every disease concerning the GI tract 3 x colour coded "Essentials" text boxes for every disease: "Essentials of Causation", "Essentials of Diagnosis" and "Essentials of Treatment" Over 850 outstanding colour clinical photos and line illustrations and 300 tables to help illustrate the range of GI diseases and procedures covered. The very latest AASLD, EASL, ACG and UEGF guidelines in clinical management A vastly experienced and well-qualified editor and contributor team, featuring over 200 internationally recognised experts in gastroenterology. Publishing with the book will be a companion website containing: Over 85 high-definition surgical videos of diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopic procedures 300+ MCQs written to mirror the American College of Gastroenterology postgraduate course exams More than 35 management protocol charts for different diseases, all fully downloadable and editable, to help clinicians tailor the management programmes for different patients All 850+ illustrations, available as downloadable digital files for use in scientific presentations. As both a clinical reference for gastroenterologists dealing with patients on a daily basis, or as an learning and knowledge tool for those in GI training and recertification, gastroenterologists of all levels will find the Textbook of Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology 2E the ideal modern-day clinical resource to consult.
