Crohn's disease is an inflammatory bowel disease, whose symptoms are similar to other intestinal disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome and ulcerative colitis; it can therefore be difficult to diagnose. Its knowledge and understanding have increased considerably in the last years; new advances in genetics, medical and surgical management offer today new possibilities for patients suffering from an inflammatory bowel disease. However, Crohn's disease remains a difficult disease to deal with, both from a research and clinical point of view. This book provides general practitioners with a basic knowledge of the disease, offering in the same time an update on new facts about Crohn's disease to specialists. It can also be useful for residents willing to develop a deeper knowledge of inflammatory bowel diseases.

This practical guide provides patients who have inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) with cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) strategies for coping with IBD. It teaches a number of skills that can make coping with Crohn’s or colitis easier. Chapters provide an overview of Crohn’s and colitis as well as the interplay between stress and the gut, before offering strategies on relaxation training, physical activity, managing stress and avoidance, diet and nutrition, and medical treatment options. The book also emphasizes the importance of the doctor-patient relationship and helps patients learn how to think about medical management (including the possibility of surgery) to minimize anxiety from catastrophic thoughts and balance potential risks and benefits appropriately. Dr. Hunt challenges readers to engage in specific behavioral experiments to reduce shame and stigma and highlights practical applications with case illustrations and clinical vignettes. This book can be used as a standalone self-help book or in conjunction with practitioners during in-person therapy.

Crohns Disease (CD) is one of the most important chronic inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) that can affect the whole gastrointestinal tract from mouth to anus and whose inflammation extends through all layers of the gut wall. Treatments normally consist of controlling the symptoms, maintaining remission, and preventing relapse. Despite many years of study, the exact aetiology and pathogenesis of this disorder still remains unclear; however, great advances have been made in the last decades and have provided insights into the complex, multi-factorial processes and mechanisms that can result in chronic intestinal inflammation such as those present in Crohn's Disease.This book will describe etiological factors (host-microbiome interactions, nutrition, immune system, genetic and life-styles), novel and conventional diagnostic tools (magnetic resonance enterography, multidetector contrast-enhanced computed tomography, small bowel magnetic resonance imaging, intestinal ultrasound, endoscopy and histology), complications (musculo-skeletal, and intra-abdominal) along with conventional and novel treatment options (strictureplasty techniques, use of biological agents, probiotic micro-organisms and genetically engineered lactic acid bacteria) for CD and other IBD. This new book is a compilation of topics that have been written by experts from all over the world (Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Chile, France, Hungary, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom and the United States of America) who work in medical, clinical or research settings offering different viewpoints on the most up-to-date information currently available on Crohns Disease.

Crohn's disease is a chronic illness that afflicts millions of patients worldwide. Despite its increasing recognition as a medical specialty within gastroenterology, there has been little attention devoted to Crohn's from a surgical perspective. This volume fills that void and acts as the first catalogue to address the surgical management of Crohn's disease. The goal of this work was to provide surgeons with the latest medical and surgical information to manage patients with Crohn's disease effectively.In this book, contributions from both gastroenterologists describe the history, diagnosis, nutrition, medical management, and surveillance of Crohn's disease. Chapters from general and colorectal surgeons detail common clinical techniques, minimally invasive surgical approach and management of perianal disease. In addition, surgical complications specific to Crohn's disease are also reviewed.This book provides all of the essential information needed in the surgical management of Crohn's disease in one simple volume. It aims to be a useful resource for practicing surgeons and surgical residents as well as gastroenterologists. The authors wish readers to understand the complex decision making and sophisticated surgical techniques that these patients often demand.
