DESCRIPTION

The GI doctor’s classic portable, clinically-focused and authoritative reference, revised and updated

The revised and updated fourth edition of Yamada’s Handbook of Gastroenterology focuses on the clinical aspects of patients presenting with gastrointestinal and liver disease. The book is a portable, quick reference tool designed to assist trainees and practicing gastroenterologists in the practical assessment and clinical management of patients. The Handbook is divided into two parts; the first is symptom focused and the second highlights diseases. Each chapter features key practice points, essentials of diagnosis, potential pitfalls and case studies. In addition, the book includes multiple choice questions and answers to enhance understanding.

The fourth edition includes updated clinical practice guidelines from National Societies (American Gastroenterological Association, American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, American Association for the Study of Liver Disease and American College of Gastroenterology).

The new edition also offers many new photographs of endoscopic, radiographic and histopathologic images. This important resource:

• Contains both symptom- and disease-focused chapters, and covers all clinical conditions and symptoms likely to be encountered
• Presents case studies, practice points, essentials of diagnosis boxes, society guideline comparisons, and MCQs for self-assessment tailored to ABIM Board level
• Offers an abundance of management algorithms and flowcharts to help plot the best route for clinical care
• Includes a full-colour plate section

Written for gastroenterology, hepatology and internal medicine specialists, Yamada’s Handbook of Gastroenterology, Fourth Edition continues to offer a succinct guide for daily use on the wards and also as a resource for preparation for GI Boards and re-certification.

Preface

On behalf of my co‐authors, Drs. Bhattacharya, Hwang, and Ko, I am pleased to introduce the fourth edition of Yamada’s Handbook of Gastroenterology. Yamada’s Handbook is based on the Textbook of Gastroenterology and Principles of Clinical Gastroenterology by Dr. Tadataka Yamada and is divided into two major sections: symptom‐based evaluation chapters and disease‐based management chapters. In addition to updating the content for this version of Yamada’s Handbook, in most chapters we have incorporated Key Practice Points, Essentials of Diagnosis, and Potential Pitfalls, easily identified in “call‐out boxes,” that highlight the most important factors that guide clinical care. We have written case scenarios accompanied by discussions for many of the chapters that we hope will provide the context necessary to translate medical knowledge to clinical practice. In addition, we have included a series of questions, with detailed answers located in the back of Yamada’s Handbook, that provide a means to test and solidify the reader’s knowledge base. New to this edition are references to recent national society clinical practice guidelines that have improved the timeliness of our recommendations. Finally, we have added endoscopic and radiographic images that illustrate the breadth and depth of our specialty (see the color plates section).

We hope Yamada’s Handbook of Gastroenterology is a useful companion to the Yamada Textbook of Gastroenterology and Principles of Clinical Gastroenterology, especially for readers interested in a condensed reference guiding the care of patients with gastrointestinal and liver diseases. In addition, we expect that trainees of all levels will benefit from Yamada’s Handbook by providing a solid foundation upon which they may build a comprehensive understanding of this exciting and rapidly evolving field of medicine.
