The introduction of parenteral nutrition support has given patients with short bowel syndrome the time they need to achieve maximal intestinal rehabilitation and has allowed these patients to survive. The pioneering work of Drs. Byrnes and Wilmore in the 1990s focused on novel techniques to enhance intestinal adaptation and absorption, including modification of diet, special nutrients, oral rehydration solutions, growth factors, and surgical techniques. Intestinal Failure and Rehabilitation: A Clinical Guide brings together an expert group of clinicians to help us understand current information regarding the prevention, diagnosis, care, and management of patients with intestinal failure. "Readers will find the book valuable in contributing to their understanding of the pathophysiology of intestinal failure, as well as indicating efficient and novel management strategies. The book provides a very comprehensive overview of intestinal failure. Health professionals working in the field will find this valuble book extremely useful. The topics covered in the book not only provide important practical information, but are also likely to stimulate further research in this field." - Doody's "This book is an excellent resource for physicians, dieticians, nurses, and pharmacists. It stimulates ideas of research in budding nutritional scientists." - Practical Gastroenterology, Aug. 2005
