Riassunto

Two chronic relapsing and remitting inflammatory disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, comprise inflammatory bowel disease. While the cause remains unknown, the condition is increasing in prevalence and represents a considerable burden of sickness, both in terms of healthcare resources and within the community. Fast Facts - Inflammatory Bowel Disease is an authoritative guide to presentation, management and complication of the condition, and is a valuable resource for patients with IBD and their carers alike.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

It is an up-to-date synopsis suitable as a reference for family physicians, emergency room physicians, general internists and medical students. It would also serve well as the earliest reference for training residents in gastroenterology and surgery before they expand their knowledge on this subject. It would be a valuable resource for allied health professionals assisting in the care of these patients such as dieticians, social workers, nurses and enterostomal therapists. ... Some patients might be comfortable with this as a disease reference'. --Canadian Journal of Gastroenterology, 2007

'Fast Facts: Inflammatory Bowel Disease is directed to the broad range of those involved in the management of patients with IBD: primary care physicians, specialist nurses, trainees and, indeed, the patients themselves. As with all titles in the series, this book is specifically designed for the reader with exactly the key medical information required to recognise, diagnose and consequently manage the disorder with the provision of optimum care. It does exactly that!' --Society of Gastroenterological Nurses and Endoscopy Associates

An easily digestible multidisciplinary medical and surgical approach to the diagnosis and management of inflammatory bowel disease is presented in nine short chapters. Information is presented in a crisp and succinct fashion within a pleasing colourful layout.' --Doody's Health Sciences Review
