SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This comprehensive and important book examines gastritis in all its aspects with scholarship that arises from the authors' intimate knowledge of the subject. Professor CHELl has contributed to the study of gastritis for over 30 years, and every section of this book lists references to his important publications. I share the view of the authors that endoscopic or macroscopic appearances are only an introduction to the proper study of gastritis. They correctly stress the histologic basis for diagnosing, classifying and understanding gastritis, leading us from an histori cal review through normal morphology, and from acute gastritis to chronic gastritis which is examined critically in great detail with respect to clinical manifestations ans pathophysiologic changes, and is then related to other disorders such as peptic ulcer, polyps and endocrine tumors. The description continues with specific forms of gastritis including that most difficult condi tion, gastritis of the surgically operated stomach. The coverage in all areas is comprehensive and fully documented from the litera ture, which has been critically interpreted. The organization and completeness of this work will long serve as guide and reference to those who seek to know gastritis.
