Summary

This innovative, multidisciplinary book is for health professionals, teachers and students concerned with the care and study of those who suffer from nausea and/or vomiting. The book describes illnesses and other conditions in which nausea and/or vomiting may occur, including those which may have significance for differential diagnosis. Since nausea and vomiting are such common side effects of medical treatments and drugs, information about dangers and complications arising from nausea and vomiting themselves is also provided.
