Proceedings of the Ninth Symposium on the Regulation and Disturbances of Gastrointestinal Function

More about the book

Leading researchers in the fields of motility, blood flow, and inflammation with respect to regulation and disturbances of gastrointestinal function have contributed to the present volume. Dr. Michael Tryba, as the invited international specialist, reviews studies of numerous severely ill patients in intensive care units at high risk of complications such as stress bleeding and systemic infections. His conclusions that for the prophylaxis of stress bleeding, acid suppressing agents should not be used, and indeed all sessions of the Ninth Symposium, provided a source for lively discussion between investigators from different areas of research, including clinical and experimental medicine.
