Geriatric Gastroenterology

Description:

Aging trends in the United States and Europe continue to demonstrate an increasingly older society, a trend that is unlikely to change for decades to come. This trend renders it prudent for health care providers to better prepare for the changes in society and their health needs. The current number of older adults (aged over 65), about 13% of the U.S. population, is expected to grow to over 20% in the next 20 years. Preparation for the changes in society involves provision of training for current and future generations of physicians to deal with health problems of older adults.
Training programs in internal medicine and gastroenterology are required to deal with disorders of aging in the present day hospitalized, long-term care and community older adults. Physiological changes and disease processes in older adults differ significantly from those of the young; these are aspects that trainees and practicing physicians need to have an understanding of. Yet texts devoted to gastrointestinal illness in the elderly are scant at this stage and are clearly in demand.
This text provides a comprehensive overview of gastrointestinal disease and disorders in older adults. Divided into sixteen sections, this major reference work covers all aspects of gastroenterology as it pertains to older adults, including epidemiology, gastrointestinal physiology, motility disorders, luminal disorders, hepatobiliary disease, systemic manifestations, neoplastic disorders, gastrointestinal bleeding, and gastrointestinal cancer. In addition to fully revised chapters from the previous edition of Geriatric Gastroenterology, the latest edition features new chapters on drug injury to the GI tract, gut microbiota and aging, dysphagia, diabetes and its manifestations, and nursing for GI disorders. Nutrition and related disorders, as well as capsule endoscopy and its utility in the geriatric population, are also highlighted in the text. Presented in a simple, easy to read format, the volume includes numerous figures, tables, and key points to enable ease of understanding.

True to his learning, Dr. Pitchumoni xxvii shares his knowledge and experience and continues to teach and help many students worldwide despite the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.
Dr. Pitchumoni ’s publication of over 250 articles in major peer-reviewed journals and more than 100 chapters in the reputable textbooks are in addition to 7 edited books.

The return is his vast knowledge of internal medicine and gastroenterology.

The one award that he takes pride in is the recognition by students of Drexel University with the covetable Blockley-Osler award for excellence in teaching clinical medicine at bed side in the tradition of Sir William Osler.

However, his passion was to be a general gastroenterologist, he expanded his interests to cover nutrition and geriatrics. The desire to emphasize the older adults ’ unique needs encouraged Dr. Pitchumoni to work closely with Professor Dharmarajan, a longtime professional colleague with a similar background and professional xxviii About the Editors achievements. Both the editors, one with tremendous experience in the science of geriatrics and the other an experienced clinical gastroenterologist, perceived the need for a comprehensive book in geriatric gastroenterology. The success of the first edition of Geriatric Gastroenterology by Springer, which was released in 2012, prompted the authors to expand the book with many more chapters in the second edition. The editors expect the same enthusiastic reception for the second edition.
