This text has been organized to provide the reader with a comprehensive coverage of the physiological and biochemical processes essential for the understanding of diseases affecting the different parts of the gastrointestinal tract. It describes novel and recent concepts in the pathophysiology and management of common gastrointestinal, pancreatic and liver disorders encountered in infants and young children. Each basic clinical approach to the chapter presents a basic clinical approach to the problem, including pertinent investigations for confirming the diagnosis and for discussing the most appropiate therapy. Commonly used drugs are listed, while references cited are the more recent rather than the classic ones. A vast number of related subjects are covered, each subject being presented by experts in that particular field. The book is divided into five parts, including: Disorders of the Oesophagus and Stomach; The Exocrine Stomach; The Exocrine Pancreas; and The Liver. This textbook should provide a useful tool for paediatricians, fellows, gastroenterologists, hepatologists and paediatric surgeons and for all those who care for infants and children with digestive problems.
