Clinical GI Physiology for the Exam Taker

Bottom-line coverage that's quick and easy to read! The text reviews the physiology behind the 8 sub-areas of the gastrointestinal system, fully preparing readers for their in-service, board, and recertification examinations. The book is brief and extremely well organized. Each chapter begins with a case study about a patient with a function disorder followed by a discussion of physiology and pathophysiology. The case report is reintroduced, and diagnosis and management strategies are discussed. An overview of the illness brings each chapter to a close.
