	This unit presents a comprehensive survey of all major clinical and pathologic aspects of ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Clinical presentation, pathology, pathophysiology, epidemiology, and extraintestinal manifestations are covered. It includes updated material on the manifestations of IBD in children and adolescents, the incidence of cancer in patients with IBD, etiologic theories, biochemical and cellular mediators of inflammation, and strategies for therapeutic intervention. New slides and legends emphasize drug therapies, specifically olsalazine, mesalamine, non-systemically active steroids, azathioprine, 6-mercaptopurine, cyclosporine, and other agents under development. Nutritional therapy is also highlighted. ". . . This is particularly helpful with respect to the incidence of cancer in chronic ulcerative colitis and Crohn's. New and more recent references are given for a number of slides. The reference update is particularly beneficial for topics such as cancer incidence, cancer surveillance, Crohn's recurrence, and some of the epidemiologic aspects....Overall, the information and projection quality of this complete slide package is excellent. The program represents a useful tool for anyone in education programs at any level." Roger L. Gebhard, M.D., Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Unit 1 Table of Contents Authors: David B.
