(Rome IV Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders –Disorders ...)
Rome IV Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders –Disorders of Gut-Brain Interaction (Fourth Edition). As with earlier book editions beginning in 1994, the Rome IV textbook is a comprehensive update of knowledge in FGIDs and in the Rome IV diagnostic criteria. It is a 1,500-page, two-volume book created by 117 internationally recognized clinicians and investigators in the field. Volume I contains a comprehensive set of background chapters on neurogastroenterology (basic science and physiology); pharmacology, pharmacokinetics and pharmacogenomics; age, gender, women’s health and the patient’s perspective; cross-cultural aspectsof FGIDs; the role of the microenvironment (food and microbiota); and biopsychosocial aspects of assessment and management.

(The MDCP redefines the ways in which clinicians can care ...)
The MDCP redefines the ways in which clinicians can care for patients having even the most complex functional GI disorders. The 2nd edition is a case-based learning module that updates the content of the first MDCP book published in 2015. There are over 70 cases, more than double that in the first edition, and all cases are revised to meet the Rome IV diagnostic standards. The book helps the clinician understand the complexity and dimensionality of these disorders. Discerning clinicians recognize that just making a diagnosis is not sufficient to determine treatment. For example, a patient with IBS-D having mild and occasional symptoms of abdominal discomfort and loose stools and functioning without impairment would be treated quite differently than a patient with the same diagnosis having continuous severe and disabling pain and comorbid anxiety disorder with fears of incontinence when leaving the house.

Rome IV Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders –Disorders of Gut-Brain Interaction (Fourth Edition). As with earlier book editions beginning in 1994, the Rome IV textbook is a comprehensive update of knowledge in FGIDs and in the Rome IV diagnostic criteria. It is a 1,500-page, two-volume book created by 117 internationally recognized clinicians and investigators in the field. Volume II provides the key clinical information on 33 adult and 17 pediatric FGIDs from esophagus to anorectum, as well as a newly developed chapter on centrally mediated disorders of gastrointestinal pain. For each FGID we provide recent information on the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and psychosocial aspects along with evidence- and consensus-based recommendations on diagnosis and treatment. Volume II also contains new information and the revised Rome IV diagnostic criteria for adult and pediatric FGIDs. Also there are appendices that contain key reference information including the Rome IV diagnostic criteria tables, a comparison of the Rome III and Rome IV criteria, a flowchart to assist in the biopsychosocial assessment of patients with FGIDs and how to treat or when to seek a mental health consultant. There are also the validated Rome IV pediatric and adult questionnaires criteria for epidemiological and clinical research.

The book is organized into 12 chapters that cover the spectrum of FGIDs, but in a fashion that is specifically designed to address the diagnoses most commonly seen, with emphasis on “how to” diagnosis and treatment information. Chapters first address the burden of FGIDs on the patient and their relation to other functional somatic syndromes. Following this is general information relating to diagnostic and management strategies for primary care, patient-centered approaches to care, and then an understanding of these disorders from a biopsychosocial perspective. The second part addresses the most important FGIDs: esophageal, gastroduodenal (functional dyspepsia), bowel (e.g., IBS and constipation), anorectal (e.g., dyssynergic defecation and incontinence), childhood disorders for neonates-toddlers and children adolescents, centrally mediated disorders of GI pain (e.g., chronic pain and narcotic bowel syndrome) and finally multicultural aspects of FGIDs. The book concludes with the comprehensive list of the Rome IV FGIDs and their diagnostic criteria.

Functional gastrointestinal disorders comprise many unexplained afflictions for which no organic cause can be identified. These disturbances occur worldwide and make up half the gastroenterology cases in the Western world. Diagnosis and management is complicated by the fact that no-one can decide whether the disorders have an emotional or a psychological basis. This book presents a single source of standardized definitions, diagnostic criteria and treatment recommendations for these common conditions. Physicians should no longer need to make a diagnosis of exclusion; this book should provide a consensus document of management and treatment.

(The field of pediatric FGIDs has grown over the last two ...)
The field of pediatric FGIDs has grown over the last two decades, and for this reason we have decided to publish a separate book on pediatric FGIDs, which is extracted from the main Rome IV chapter material. This book has an introduction by co–guest editors Samuel Nurko, MD (chair of the Neonate-Toddler Committee) and Carlo Di Lorenzo, MD (chair of the Child-Adolescent Committee). Following this are the two updated and expanded pediatric chapters of Rome IV and also newly validated sets of the pediatric diagnostic questionnaires and criteria, a series of pediatric Multidimensional Clinical Profile (MDCP) cases for the Rome IV book, and a set of diagnostic algorithms for both neonate-toddler and child-adolescent. Thus, the pediatric gastroenterologist can possess a complete but compact book on FGIDs relative to his or her specialty.
