Books: Dr Glen Furuta was the guest editor of “Eosinophilic
Esophagitis, An Issue of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Clinics” written
in 12/07. It is available via Barnes & Noble or Amazon: Amazon’s product description is as
follows: “As Guest Editor, Dr. Glenn Furuta has assembled an
extraordinary group of highly accomplished individual players-pediatric and
adult gastroenterologists, endoscopists, and surgeons, pathologists,
immunologists, and allergists--to produce a state-of-the-art issue devoted to
Eosinophilic Esophagitis. This disease is complex, and in its varying
presentations in children and adults, may have more than one pathogenesis.
One thing is certain: eosinophilic esophagitis is an important disease that
causes considerable morbidity in those afflicted and is a major cause of
esophageal symptoms, particularly dysphagia. Eosinophilic esophagitis is
increasing in frequency like bronchial asthma, to which it has been compared.
The relationship of eosinophilic esophagitis to gastroesophageal reflux
disease remains poorly defined in some cases. Chronic eosinophilic
esophagitis seems to lead to fibrosis in some patients, and eosinophilic
esophagitis has been linked to the Schatzki ring long associated with hiatal
hernia and GERD. These issues, as well as a strong emphasis on current
approaches to diagnosis and therapy are presented.” |
