Gyula Mozsik Boeken

Introductory remarks treat the establishment of a department of medicine at the medieval U. of PÉcs (now PÉcs U.), Hungary, and the assistance given by international scientists (recognized by honorary doctorate degrees) to their Hungarian colleagues. MÓzsik (PÉcs U.) compiles seven chapters focusing on newer treatments for diarrheal conditions, trends in research (e.g., advances in understanding ulcers and basic GI mechanisms), the mis-marketing of non-steroidal anti- inflammatory drugs, and the brain-gut connection. But there is no discussion of inflammatory bowel disease or colon cancer. Papers include the author's curriculum vita and publication list. Photos feature the degree ceremonies. The volume lacks an index. Distributed in the US by ISBS. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
