Description
Esophageal Diseases and the Role of the Microbiome provides evidence on biomic influence in esophageal diseases. The book builds on the translational information on H pylori for ulcer disease as well as the explosive focus on biomic influence in virtually all areas of esophageal diseases. This important reference will help translational researchers by providing scientific understanding and hypothesis generation that is needed for furthering this field of study. It will also provide clinicians with disease management options for esophageal diseases (for GERD and PPI options/side effects) and present cutting-edge science to promote provider/patient understanding and options.- Delivers a translational understanding of new paradigms for esophageal disease- Explains the effects of microbiome balance in the esophagus- Suggests potential treatment options of esophageal dysbiosis
