The Little Black Book of
Gastroenterology, 3rd Edition
By Mikel Rothenberg, MD
By David W. Hay, MD
To appreciate the mechanisms of
disease, it’s essential to understand
how things work normally. It
then becomes straightforward
to appreciate how normal
structure and function are altered,
resulting in illness. Laboratory
medicine, biochemistry, pharmacology and
pathophysiology are integrally related to
each other. This book will provide a “one-stop
shopping experience” for the information you
really need to know about the selected topics.
The Little Black Book of
Gastroenterology, Third Edition is a
convenient resource offering quick
access to vital information at the
point of care. Completely revised
and updated, the Third Edition of
this compact handbook provides
comprehensive, practical, evidence-based
information on the diagnosis and treatment of
diseases in gastroenterology and hepatology.
The introductory section addresses common
problems in gastroenterology and cross
references specific disease states.
3. Identify signs and symptoms of abdominal emergencies and recognize when surgical
intervention is required.
4. Recognize risk factors for, and early signs and symptoms of, an acute abdomen and flares of
inflammatory bowel disease.
5. Determine the appropriate treatment regimen for esophageal emergencies based upon the
nature of the ingestion or obstruction.
6. Discuss the signs, symptoms, and treatment of hepatic failure.
7. Recognize signs and symptoms of acute pancreatitis and identify which patients are at
highest risk for mortality.
8. Understand the indications for total parenteral nutrition and tube feeding in patients who
present with gastrointestinal emergencies.
