Digestive Diseases and Treatment Advances in Digestive Diseases

A digestive disease is any health problem that occurs in the digestive tract. Conditions may range from mild to serious. Some common problems include:  Amylase: Enzyme produces in the pancreas and salivary glands that helps in the digestion of starches from the diet. Blood amylase levels may be increased in patients who have pancreatitis or salivary problems like Sjogren’s disease.  Amyloidosis: A group of diseases that results from the abnormal deposition of a protein called amyloid in tissues and organs. Bezoar: A clump of food or hair in the digestive tract. Celiac disease resulting from the abnormal reaction by the body's immune system to gluten, a protein found in grains such as wheat, rye, and barley and other foods. Symptoms include diarrhea, anaemia, and weight loss.

               The complexity and magnitude of medical advances in the management of digestive diseases make it ever more challenging for clinicians to apply this tremendous amount of information to their practice. This activity will provide learners with a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the art advances in the diagnostic, therapeutic, and preventive modalities of digestive diseases based on the latest evidence, literature, and clinical research. New Advances gives clinicians a superb update on cutting-edge developments in gastroenterology and hepatology. Interact directly with our clinical faculty and learn about practical approaches to problems.
