Publisher's Synopsis
Edited by two experienced instructors, this problem-oriented self-assessment review is an excellent educational tool for gastroenterologists, general practitioners, medical students, and endoscopy nurses. It presents 200 clinical cases in a format designed to educate as well as test the reader--with illustrations, structured commentary, integrated self-testing questions, and detailed explanatory answers. Cases appear in random order, as they would in actual practice, and cover a broad range of digestive, gut lumen, pancreatic, and biliary problems encountered in adults and pediatric patients. Relevant topics in digestive tract physiology, pharmacology, and nutrition are also included.
