Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome and Cannabinoid Hyperemesis

Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome and Cannabinoid Hyperemesis

Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome and Cannabinoid Hyperemesis comprehensively reviews the clinical features and pathophysiology of cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS) and cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome (CHS). This book differentiates the clinical presentation of CVS and CHS from other vomiting syndromes and provides the information necessary to diagnose and effectively treat these disorders. Compiled by expert CVS/CHS clinicians and written by physicians and researchers from several disciplines, this reference provides the most updated, evidence-based approaches, and summarizes the latest research on CVS/CHS. Important topics such as the neural systems that drive nausea and vomiting, clinical features of CVS/CHS including its subtypes, insights into pathogenesis, as well as the curious association of hot-water bathing associated with both of these disorders are all explored. This is a must-have reference for residents and fellows in training, as well as busy clinicians who care for patients with CVS and CHS across multiple care settings including ambulatory clinics, the emergency department, hospitals, and substance use/abuse treatment centers. It is also a useful reference for investigators with an interest in these vomiting disorders. Provides a comprehensive review of the diagnosis and management of CVS and CHS and the impact of these disorders on patients - Outlines the pathophysiology and known factors that contribute to CVS and guides further investigation and treatment - Explores the role of cannabis in CVS and CHS, reviews the current literature, and identifies knowledge gaps that need to be addressed Unique and comprehensive resource on cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS) and cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome (CHS) that provides updated management approaches to care Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome and Cannabinoid Hyperemesis comprehensively covers the varied aspects of both adult cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS) and cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome (CHS). It clearly differentiates CVS and CHS from other vomiting syndromes in terms of presentation, diagnosis, and treatment options and provides the necessary information to understand the disorders and provide appropriate care for patients while also providing enough background to further investigators studying these disorders. Compiled by experts in the field of motility and written by experts in several disciplines this reference this reference provides an evidence-based approach to management, treatment, and research. Important topics like nervous system pathways of nausea and vomiting, clinical features, subtypes and insight into pathogenesis, as well as the curious association of hot bathing and CVS and CHS are all explored. This is a must-have reference for residents in training, and graduate and medical students in gastroenterology, as well as those dealing with CVS and CHS in general medical care, emergency care, and substance use/abuse. It is also a useful reference for investigators looking to advance treatments for these disorders. William L. Hasler, MD is a Professor of Medicine in the Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, at the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, Arizona. Dr. Hasler’s research focuses on nausea and vomiting and the pathophysiology of gastric motility disorders, and he is an internationally recognized expert in clinical and translational research in CVS and gastroparesis. He serves as a lead advisor to the Rome Foundation and has helped craft the clinical descriptions of CVS and CHS in adults. He also provided pivotal input to develop the first clinical guidelines on the management of CVS in adults David J. Levinthal, MD, PhD is an Assistant Professor of Medicine in the Division of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Dr. Levinthal’s research focuses on the neural mechanisms of brain-gut interactions and autonomic function, and he is involved in clinical and translational research in CVS. He serves as a Counselor of the American Neurogastroenterology and Motility Society, a Medical Advisor of the Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome Association, and helped to develop the first clinical guidelines on the management of CVS in adults. Thangam Venkatesan, MD is Professor of Clinical Medicine in the Division of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition at the Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. Patients with CVS travel across the US and beyond to access her well-established CVS center. As a leading CVS expert, she serves as the Chief Medical Advisor of the Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome Association and spearheaded the first clinical guidelines on the management of CVS in adults. She conducts clinical and translational research to develop better therapies for patients with CVS around the world.
