Description

This is an examination of the gastrointestinal tract and the diseases that affect it. The work is intended to promote an approach which encourages awareness of the earliest manifestations of a disease and also focuses some attention on the pathophysiological basis of gastrointestinal disease. It covers the normal pathology of the alimentary tract, congenital and developmental abnormalities, mechanical and neuromuscular abnormalities, primary inflammatory disorders, vascular disorders, tumours and radiation induced pathology of the oesophagus.
