Gastroparesis: Pathophysiology, Clinical Presentation, Diagnosis and Treatment

Gastroparesis: Pathophysiology, Clinical Presentation, Diagnosis and Treatment is a centralized source of data on gastroparesis collected over the last decade. Contents include the pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnostic considerations and treatment options for gastroparesis. The reference is split into broad subsections, with the philosophy of first focusing on the key features of the disease (clinical presentation, pathophysiology, diagnosis, clinical subsets and treatment) and then turning to controversies, recent developments, patient support resources and speculations on the future. Chapters will include coverage of important topics like autonomic neuropathy, gastroparesis and the brain-gut axis, potential pharmacologic advances targeted to the cellular level, diagnostic and therapeutic options targeted at the pylorus and the evaluation of the female predominance in gastroparesis. This is a must-have resource for scientists looking to find the next step in their research as well as healthcare professionals struggling with how to optimally take care of their patients. Provides a comprehensive overview of what is known regarding the pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnostic considerations and treatment options for gastroparesisIncludes key updates in the field from the past decade including the progress made by the NIH Gastroparesis ConsortiumPresents both sides of key controversies in the field, including the debate between classification of gastroparesis versus functional dyspepsia INDICE: 1.
