Upper Digestive Tract, 2nd Edition, part 1 in the 3-book Digestive
System volume, provides a concise and highly visual approach to the
basic sciences and clinical pathology of the mouth, pharynx, esophagus
and stomach. This book in The Netter Collection of Medical
Illustrations (the CIBA "Green Books") has been expanded and revised to
capture current perspectives in gastroenterology - from normal
anatomy and physiology through pathophysiology, diagnostics and
treatment. Radiologic and pathologic images supplement the classic
Netter illustrations, as well as new illustrations. Highlights include
neurophysiology and electrical physiology of normal gastric function and
disease, Barrett's esophagus, eosinophilic esophagus, and imaging and
physiologic complexities of swallowing.
- Gain a rich, comprehensive overview of the upper digestive tract
by seeing classic Netter illustrations side by side with cutting-edge
radiologic and endoscopic images.
- Explore key topics in gastroenterology, including tumors of salivary
glands, microbiota, diagnostic aids, and postgastrectomy
complications.
- See modern issues in digestive health and disease (bariatric surgery,
IBS, and GERD) captured in the visually rich Netter artistic
tradition via contributions from artists working in the Netter
style.
- Get complete, integrated visual guidance on the mouth, pharynx,
esophagus and stomach in a single source, from basic sciences and
normal anatomy and function through pathologic conditions.
- Benefit from the knowledge of a team of renowned clinicians and
scientists.
