      abstract = {This book provides readers with a succinct but  comprehensive overview of current concepts relating to  intestinal failure, including its treatment, with a  particular focus on recent advancements. The opening  chapters address basic aspects of intestinal failure,  including etiology, clinical pathophysiology, physiology of  intestinal adaptation, and intestinal microbiota. The  complications of intestinal failure, such as bacterial  overgrowth and intestinal failure-associated liver disease,  are then discussed. A series of chapters specifically  address important strategies in the nutritional,  pharmacological, and surgical treatment of intestinal  failure as well as the concept of intestinal  rehabilitation. Finally, two significant emerging  developments are considered: regenerative medicine and  distraction enterogenesis. The authors are internationally  recognized experts from Europe and North America who are  ideally placed to describe current knowledge and progress  in the field.},
