cord-014770-cgtzlra1	Brandt, Lawrence J.	Book reviews	1995		.txt	text/plain	5384	264	48	The volume combines some basic reviews, such as chapters on the pathophysiology of viral diarrhea and gastrointestinal tract immunology, with detailed exploration of more focused topics, such as rotavirus proteins. While interesting and one of the more clinically applicable sections of the book, the inclusion of a chapter on bacterial diarrhea in a volume dedicated to viral gastroenteritis is somewhat puzzling. While this book has certain outstanding features, there are some shortcomings which warrant mention, most notably a paucity of references beyond 1990 in some chapters and the failure to recognize viral pathogens which, through gastrointestinal tract infection, cause significant disease other than diarrhea. The final chapter in the book is devoted to the therapeutic aspects of gastrointestinal motility, including biofeedback training for fecal incontinence. Once again, adequate references are provided for those who desire more in-depth study, The next several chapters begin at the oropharynx and proceed through the gastrointestinal tract, presenting a discussion of the motility of each area.	./cache/cord-014770-cgtzlra1.txt	./txt/cord-014770-cgtzlra1.txt
