Product Description
Although recent advances in diagnosis, staging and symptomatic treatment have improved the clinical outcome considerably, there is still no causal therapy in human acute pancreatitis. That is why - more than 130 years after the first experimental acute pancreatitis was induced by Claude Bernard - there is the need for further study of acute pancreatitis experimentally. This volume provides a complete overview of the techniques to induce acute pancreatitis, with the aim of helping scientists in the decision-making of which technique and criteria of analysis should be chosen.
