Description
Book SynopsisThe first comprehensive overview of an emerging field, Metabolic Medicine and Surgery introduces a new paradigm in patient management that crosses existing subspecialty boundaries. This approach is necessitated by the challenges of treating patients with obesity, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease and prediabetes, as well as those with maldigestion, malabsorption, malnutrition and nutritional deficiencies. This book teaches physicians and surgeons what they need to know about clinical nutrition, metabolism and the metabolic effects of bariatric surgery. It is also applicable to those in primary care, including physicians, residents, medical students, nurses and nurse practitioners, physician assistants and dietitians who are on the front lines of treating patients with obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
The book is presented in four sections: 1. An Overview of Metabolic Medicine and Surgery; 2. Metabolic Syndrome, Insulin Resistance and Obesity; 3. Di
Trade Review
"… an excellent, if not very dense, book. While this is a very fluid field characterized by important new discoveries and persistent questions, the authors have successfully summarized metabolic medicine, the complications of this condition, and the treatment options for patients. The book is perhaps best suited to bariatricians, but it would be an excellent choice for any individual caring for this patient population. Weighted Numerical Score: 83 - 3 Stars"
