Description: This Fast Facts
book on diseases of the pancreas and biliary tract is a condensed,
accurate source for the training physician or general practitioner,
containing the most relevant facts about the most common diseases in
this field, their presentation, diagnosis, and management. It is not
intended for gastroenterologists.
Purpose: The purpose is to
provide a clear and simple guide for the general practitioner to the
diagnosis and management of disorders of the pancreas and biliary tract.
This objective is achieved well in a book that is easy to read and
understand.
Audience: The authors are
internationally recognized gastroenterologists with significant
expertise in the subject. The book is written for physicians in training
or general practitioners.
Features: The book covers the most common and relevant diseases
of the pancreas and biliary systems, using a simple approach to each
condition. However, it explains remarkably well some topics that are
typically dry, like hereditary pancreatitis and sphincter of Oddi
dysfunction, making them easy to understand and giving a precise guide
for management in the clinical practice. A visually intuitive index
makes it very easy to find a topic, in just a matter of seconds.
Assessment: This is a well written, easy to read, quick reference
to diseases of the pancreas and biliary tract for physicians in
training or general practitioners. The quality of the illustrations and
tables is very good, enhancing the learning experience. Some of the
topics are explained in a very simple but complete way, making it a very
good source of reference.
