This volume provides a comprehensive and state-of-the-art text for
health care professionals who are interested in the diagnosis and
treatment of nausea and vomiting. Because the majority of causes of
nausea and vomiting arise from disorders of the gastrointestinal
system, the text emphasizes the GI system by organ from esophagus to
colon. It also reviews how disorders of the abdominal wall, the
endocrine system, and autonomic and central nervous systems can
contribute to nausea and vomiting syndromes that can be difficult to
diagnose. Various treatment modalities are presented and organized in
terms of drug treatments, electrical stimulation devices, and dietary
therapy and nutritional support. Furthermore, the book is enhanced by
chapters on the pathophysiology of nausea, the pathophysiology of
vomiting, the physiological changes in the brain during nausea and
vomiting, and the psychological underpinnings of nausea and vomiting.
And because many children are afflicted with unexplained nausea and
vomiting, a chapter devoted to pediatric patients is also included.
Written by authorities in the field, Nausea and Vomiting: Diagnosis
and Treatment is a valuable resource that will help practitioners and
healthcare providers consider specific diagnoses in treating the
noxious and burdensome symptoms of nausea and vomiting.
