Sign up now to receive Malabsorption Watch(tm)
on a bimonthly basis.
Malabsorption Watch(tm) is a bimonthly newsletter produced through an educational grant from NPS Pharmaceuticals, Inc. It provides practicing physicians with at-a-glance, highly topical and current information regarding the clinical features, diagnosis and management of malabsorption, a clinical term that encompasses defects occurring during the digestion and absorption of food nutrients by the gastrointestinal tract. Some of the leading causes of malabsorption include cystic fibrosis, chronic pancreatitis, lactose intolerance, and gluten enteropathy.
We believe this newsletter will play an important role in scanning the recent literature and providing you information that is both timely and relevant to your practice. Each issue of Malabsorption Watch(tm) is produced with guidance from our editorial advisor, Alan Buchman, MD, MSPH, a leading expert on digestive diseases at the Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University.
All issues of Malabsorption Watch(tm) can be accessed through this web site or, if you are a US physician, received by fax.
