Idiopathic intestinal inflammation II

The book summarizes the latest interdisciplinary findings in the diagnosis, differential diagnosis, treatment and clinical research of idiopathic intestinal inflammation. The text is complemented by the authors' own clinical experience, especially with regard to a unique set of patients with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis treated with biological therapy.
The book is a continuation of the previous monograph by Professor Milan Lukáš and his team and is intended for physicians of various disciplines who encounter patients with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis in their practice.

Only brand new chapters, written by top authors, are included.

Separate chapters introduce new diagnostic methods, such as computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, and medical treatment. The question of interdisciplinary cooperation in the diagnosis and treatment of extraintestinal manifestations of intestinal inflammation affecting the musculoskeletal system and eyes is important. A separate chapter is devoted to psychiatric issues, obesity, laboratory markers of disease activity and prognosis.

There are also chapters on the diagnosis and treatment of short bowel syndrome and some post-resection conditions.

The book will be of interest to physicians in the fields of gastroenterology, internal medicine, surgery, immunology and clinical nutrition.
