About This Book
The Cause of Pyloric Stenosis of Infancy chronicles the debate surrounding the cause of pyloric stenosis from its earliest discovery 300 years ago to the present. The Primary Hyperacidity Theory offers a credible explanation for all the classical signs and symptoms of pyloric stenosis as well a its associated features. In addition, this book comprehensively explores the medical and surgical treatment options as well as the general features used for diagnosis. An understanding of the true cause of pyloric stenosis will thus allow for treatment that is more individualized and sensitive to patients' needs.
- Catalogues the classical signs and symptoms of pyloric stenosis and relates to their proposed causes
- Investigates previously unexplained time-sensitive symptoms by relating them to a delay in maturation of the negative feedback between gastrin and acidity
- Solves the mysteries of first-born preponderance, male predominance, and familiar inheritance
- Includes stories from real life families dealing with pyloric stenosis to supplement science
