Synopsis

Disorders of gastrointestinal transit are among the major causes of ill-health and, today, provide one of the most common reasons for specialist referral. Fortunately, however, recent developments in measuring techniques - including some that are non-invasive - have made the quantification of gastrointestinal motility feasible, and a number of new drugs are now available that specifically influence the enteric nervous system, leading to great advances in the management of gastointestinal disorders. This volume presents up-to-date information about gastrointestinal motility. Focusing particularly on the physiological and pharmacological aspects of intestinal transit, the contributors shed much light on this complex subject.
