Yamada's Textbook of Gastroenterology, 3 Volume Set - 7th Edition by Timothy C Wang & Michael Camilleri (Hardcover)

About the Book

"A key change has been a much greater focus on the structure and function of the human microbiome, with implications for health and disease. The textbook has also been expanded to include a section on the role of gastroenterologists in the management of obesity, which is become an increasing component of GI practice. The endoscopic offerings have been bolstered by new chapters on bariatric endoscopy and endoscope reprocessing. Finally, a greater geriatric focus has been achieved by a new chapter on the aging gastrointestinal tract. Despite these new additions, broadening and increasing the scope of the textbook, the overall number of authors and length of the textbook have not increased, with the consolidation and/or elimination of several older chapters, as well as shortening of others. Despite the continued growth and utilization of internet-based sources of information, we strongly believe that textbooks such as this one remain a vital resource for both experienced clinicians and novices to the fields of gastroenterology and hepatology. Information found on the internet in all fields of knowledge continues to exhibit an inconsistent quality, with a lack of sufficient vetting and expert review on many internet sites. A great advantage of the Yamada textbook is that it is both comprehensive and well sourced by expert authors and editors, such that vital information on the widest spectrum of GI and liver diseases, ranging from essential clinical features to the molecular underpinnings, can be found in one convenient location. As such, a comprehensive reference such as this is still a highly dependable and valued source of knowledge"--

Book Synopsis

Seit über 25 Jahren ist Yamada`s Textbook of Gastroenterology das umfassendste Nachschlagewerk im Bereich der Gastroenterologie, in dem grundlegende wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse zu Magen-Darm- und Lebererkrankungen enzyklopädisch mit den neuesten klinischen Erkenntnissen insbesondere zur Diagnose und Therapieentwicklung verbunden werden. Dieses Fachbuch findet weltweit allgemeine Anerkennung.

Das kompetente Herausgeberteam stand ursprünglich unter der Leitung von Tadataka Yamada, MD, einem der weltweit führenden Forscher im Bereich Magen-Darm-Erkrankungen. Diese siebte Ausgabe wurde von einem neuen Team aus leitenden und beigeordneten Herausgebern bearbeitet. Das neue Herausgeberteam hat umfangreiche Änderungen und Aktualisierungen des Fachbuchs vorgenommen und den Schwerpunkt stärker auf das menschliche Mikrobiom, Adipositas, die bariatrische Endoskopie und Altersbeschwerden gelegt, wobei viele ältere Kapitel zusammengefasst wurden.

Unter der Leitung von Professor Michael Camilleri und Professor Timothy C. Wang hat sich erneut eine Gruppe hochkarätiger Herausgeber mit Autoren aus ihrem jeweiligen Fachgebiet zusammengetan, um ihren gewaltigen Wissens- und Erfahrungsschatz weiterzugeben. Damit ist diese 7. Ausgabe zur bislang umfangreichsten Fassung des renommierten Fachbuchs geworden.
