On the subject of stomach and gastric diseases, current cli-
nical, morphological, pharmacological, biochemical as well as cellular and molecularbiological aspects will be presen-
ted.
The articles of the first part of this book will discuss the normal functions of the stomach (such as motility, secre-
tion, tissue regeneration etc.). The second part deals with pathophysiological aspects (such as inflammation, ulceration and tumor formation) and modern possibilities of treatment.
The authors aim at gaining a deeper knowledge of the sto-
mach, its physiology and pathophysiology in order to use this knowledge for the better of their patients.
