Description
This practical, concise text on gastroenterology is an essential guide and checklist on how to diagnose and treat diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. It also provides invaluable advice about the management of GI emergencies and the elective admission of patients with alimentary diseases. The second edition of this popular book has been updated to include the most recent advances in the management of variceal bleeding, Barrett's oesophagus, Helicobacter pylori, hepatitis C and inflammatory bowel disease. More detail is also given to some particularly important procedures, including rectal examination and sigmoidoscopy, and the breath test for H. pylori infection.
