| Annotation | This textbook provides a practical and comprehensive account of the management of diarrhoea and constipation in older people. These common disorders are often manifestations of a more serious underlying illness: thus, effective diagnosis and treatment are essential to improve quality of life. The text includes updates on pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment, and highlights older people's vulnerability to diarrhoea and constipation, and the complications caused. (RH). |
