ISBN-10: 1416003177

ISBN-13: 978-1416003175

Saunders

With almost 100 authors and 68 chapters, this textbook provides useful information on the treatment of digestive disorders, citations of the relevant literature, and coverage of controversial issues. General physicians and also those with a particular interest in gastroenterology and hepatology will find the book helpful. My recommendation is to ignore the subtitle. Instead of being viewed as a companion to the excellent Sleisenger and Fordtran's Gastrointestinal and Liver Disease, this book could be considered a less voluminous and less expensive alternative for readers interested mainly in the treatment of digestive disorders.

With an extraordinary need for early intervention and prevention to slow or halt its progression, Metabolic Syndrome is one of the most challenging health problems. Only through an understanding of the science underlying this syndrome can successful interventions be developed and implemented. In The Metabolic Syndrome: Epidemiology, Clinical Treatment, and Underlying Mechanisms, the writers stimulate new thinking concerning underlying mechanisms and encourage heightened efforts to develop new therapeutics, potentially targeting uniquely intersecting pathways. Developing this new synthesis and analysis of the Metabolic Syndrome will bring together the viewpoints of epidemiologists, physiologists, molecular biologists/ biochemists, and clinicians toward understanding the current state of knowledge of both the causes and consequences of the Metabolic Syndrome.
