"...chapters all begin with a section that succinctly states the
goal, key points, and key references. Authors are recognized
experts in inflammatory bowel disease. The text is supported by
clear, easy-to-read tabular information, and high-quality
illustrations, 530 illustrations in total. The updated formatting
with tabs for each section and larger section heads make this
edition more "user friendly"; I found it easy to sit down and read
an entire section. The extensive bibliographies for each chapter
also make this a useful text for researching specific topics in
inflammatory bowel disease.
...a well-written, well-formatted text that should be part of the
library of both gastroenterologists and surgeons with an interest
in inflammatory bowel disease."Gastroenterology, October 2004
authors of this book constitute a global who's who of
'IBD-ology'... Authoritative without being stuffy, comprehensive
without being intimidating, exhaustive without being esoteric...
The pages contain diagrams of the immune system that do not induce
nystagmus or vertigo, and diagnostic algorithms that actually apply
to the real world. " David Sachar, March 2003
subject is overlooked, from basic pathophysiology to evidence-based
therapies, from nitric oxide metabolism to nutrition... Consume
this monograph from cover to cover like an epic, or nibble tidbits
from it whenever need or hunger arises. Either way, you are in for
a treat." David Sachar, March 2003
authors constitute a global "Who's Who" of "IBD-ology"..the worlds
leaders in clinical and laboratory investigation...On very few
occasions while evaluating a textbook has the reviewer been so
rapidly and totally impressed by the quality of the contributions,
the sharp insight of the authors into each topic and the pleasure
and ease with which the reader gets through all the pages...A
"must" for any gastroenterologists with an interest in IBD." G.
Bianchi Porro, Digestive and Liver Disease, August 2004
