Description
This multi-authored book covers most aspects of evaluation of gastrointestinal motility – a field that has been expanding in recent times largely due to advances in diagnostic modalities; coupled with this, new evidences supporting best practices have increased the interest among clinical gastroenterologists, researchers, teachers and trainees in gastrointestinal motility and its disorders. New advances in the field of evaluation of functional bowel diseases and motility disorders, such as high-resolution manometry, 24-h pH impedance monitoring, Bravo capsule pH-metry, barostat, balloon expulsion test, barium and MR defecography, biofeedback, hydrogen breath tests, motility capsule (smartpill) etc. have significantly expanded the scope and outcome of treating these disorders.
Reviews
Review “The authors and editors deserve a large amount of praise for the amount of material collected herein. Spanning nearly 2,000 pages, they have provided an up-to-date, readable update of the field. … Each chapter is well organized and clearly written; brief enough to read at a sitting … . Some of the material is clearly organized so as to be readily accessible to the practitioner, such as the material on care of acute lacerations, bites and stings.” (Omar Khan, Family Medicine, Vol. 50 (1), January, 2018)
