Download or read book Dyspepsia in Clinical Practice written by Marko Duvnjak and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-03-08 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although dyspepsia has been investigated for a long period of time, there is no international agreement on what constitutes this condition nor any standardized guidelines. National guidelines followed by practitioners in different countries vary in diagnostic and therapeutic approach, underlining the necessity for a unique definition worldwide. Dyspepsia in Clinical Practice summarizes the current guidelines while offering a unified, practical definition of dyspepsia, and a diagnostic algorithm with an emphasis on the upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and rational first-line therapeutic approach based on epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnostic workup and response to previous therapy. Up-to-date scientific information about dyspepsia is presented from a practical, clinician's point of view. Written by experts in the field, this volume addresses dyspepsia in childhood and in the elderly, a very important issue often insufficiently emphasized in the literature. Guidelines are provided that can be easily followed in clinical practice, leading to a reduction in costs and increased patient safety. Dyspepsia in Clinical Practice will be of great value to gastroenterologists, internists, primary care physicians, pediatricians, infectious disease specialists, residents and fellows in training.
Download or read book Functional Dyspepsia written by Kazunari Tominaga and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-08-20 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The research and outcomes presented in this book gather evidence concerning both the pathogenesis and treatment of functional dyspepsia. It provides the latest information on this common non-organic disease, indicating its characteristic pathogenesis based on the brain-gut interaction and micro-environment and evidence gleaned from clinical treatment. Since the pathogenesis is associated with psychology, neurology, endocrinology and bacteriology in addition to gastroenterological physiology, it is often intractable and finding a suitable treatment rationale is challenging. Furthermore, the pathogenesis varies around the world and the efficacy of treatment using standard drugs varies among different populations worldwide; accordingly, this book highlights evidence gained in clinical trials in Japan. Functional Dyspepsia is a milestone produced by respected experts. Addressing unique topics and new findings of treatment including challenging and/or future rationales, it offers an invaluable resource for general clinicians, gastroenterologists, and basic researchers alike.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dyspepsia is a disorder which affects a large portion of the population. However, it is very important to differentiate between commonly presenting symptoms like gastroesophageal reflux disease, functional dyspepsia, and irritable bowel syndrome. Also various classifications and treatment protocols have been developed and revised to provide a rational platform for the clinicians. The ROME III classification has to a large extent given a direction to the clinicians to base their practice on, however, is a classification based on clinical trials and is really helpful in daily practice. In this issue we have tried to focus on the need for classification and approach to the patient with dyspepsia.

Download or read book Dyspepsia written by Nimish Vakil and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dyspepsia in particular remains a complex problem in clinical practice once an organic cause is excluded. Many recent attempts to find new treatment strategies have failed: Tegaserod, for example, has been withdrawn from the United States, and itopride, which showed promising results in phase 2 trials, ultimately failed in phase 3 trials. Future treatments will depend to a significant extent on the careful evaluation of patients and an analysis of their symptoms, as well as on new insights into the pathophysiology of symptoms in the upper GI tract. This publication provides an overview of the current state of dyspepsia diagnosis and management, evaluating the pathophysiology, current diagnostic and treatment strategies, as well as the results of 'Helicobacter pylori' eradication and proton pump inhibitor therapy. Moreover, future options for therapy of this common disorder are assessed, making this compilation a most welcome reference work for the clinician.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Backing up the pioneering medical researchers and experi menters are the phalanxes and cohorts of practising clinicians in district general hospitals and in general practice who may have to implement and apply any breakthroughs and advances in practical and realistic terms. This they cannot, and should not, be expected to do without careful consideration and analysis.

The Practical Clinical Medicine series is designed to provide such regular reviews on selected subjects. Each volume is under the charge of an invited editor who selects his team of 4--6 experts. Each contribution is an authoritative, detailed and referenced examination of his topic, is clearly presented in an understandable manner and is practical, relevant and applic able to everyday clinical practice. The series is intended as a means of communication between researchers and practising clinicians. It is dedicated to gener alists who provide primary health care in general practice and to generalists providing secondary medical care in district vii viii Series Editors' Foreword general hospitals. Both are involved in applying good general practical clinical medicine for their patients, but can only succeed in a climate of constant review and examination.

This book was released on 1998-03-31 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years functional gastrointestinal disorders have attracted much interest. These disorders are extremely common. They are characterized by symptoms and the lack of structural lesions that can be identified with clinically available routine diagnostic tests. Several functional abnormalities are now believed to play a role in the development of the symptoms. This book summarizes the presentations at the International Falk Symposium No. 99 `Functional Dyspepsia and Irritable Bowel Syndrome: Concepts and Controversies' that took place on May 27-28, 1997.

Download or read book Integrative Gastroenterology written by Gerard E. Mullin and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-09-27 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Digestive complaints have become increasingly common. Recent statistics show that gastrointestinal complaints account for nearly a third of all visits to primary care doctors and that nearly one in two Americans suffer from digestive disease. Millions more suffer from conditions such as migraine headaches, arthritis, mood disorders, chronic fatigue, asthma, allergies, and menstrual dysfunction, which are all related to a disorder in digestive health. Despite the evidence in support of integrative approaches to treatment and prevention of digestive symptoms, these approaches are largely overlooked in treating gastrointestinal disorders. Rather, treatment plans tend to be exclusively pharmacologically based and have appreciable toxicity. Integrative Gastroenterology, Second edition, is a comprehensive guide to helping health care practitioners understand and appreciate how to manage patients with gastrointestinal conditions integrating conventional and complimentary approaches. This text reviews the latest advances in science and research with regards to the gut microbiome, physiology, and interconnections between the gut and other organ systems. Coverage includes a diverse range of treatment methods, such as probiotics, meditation, massage, yoga, supplements, special diets, energy medicine, homeopathy, and acupuncture, as well as a special section devoted to mind-body medicine in digestive health and disease. In discussing unconventional treatments, the authors address many of the controversies that surround the remedies.
