Practical pediatric gastroenterology

John A. Walker-Smith, John Richard Hamilton, W. Allan Walker

B.C. Decker Inc., 1996 - 313 pages


This second edition is an authoritative and up-to-date guide to the field of pediatric gastroenterology. The intended audience includes the trainee and practitioner in pediatrics, as well as the gastroenterologist. The work is divided into two parts: The first covers gastroenterological signs and symptoms in childhood, from acute abdominal pain to constipation, to vomiting, to abdominal mass. The second part addresses specific diseases, acute and chronic, acquired and inherited, medical and surgical. Experts in each field have written individual chapters.



Rewrite disease paradigms in the field using a cross-disciplinary approach:

Yes, these researchers may be the bane of some of their colleagues, small price for progress. See the AoA for links to current peer-review journal published research, including cross-institutional studies recently.

This probably does not help. But the fact that gluten has been selected for TalkingDog Jun 2012 #39
