Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome and Cannabinoid Hyperemesis comprehensively covers the varied aspects of both adult cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS) and cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome (CHS). The book clearly differentiates CVS and CHS from other vomiting syndromes in terms of presentation, diagnosis and treatment options, providing the necessary information to understand the disorders and present appropriate care for patients while also including enough background to help investigators studying these disorders. Compiled by experts in the field of motility and written by experts in several disciplines, this reference provides an evidence-based approach to the management, treatment and research of CVS and cannabinoid hyperemesis. Important topics like nervous system pathways of nausea and vomiting, clinical features, subtypes and insights into pathogenesis and the curious association of hot bathing, CVS and CHS are all explored.  This is a must-have reference for residents in training, graduate and medical students in gastroenterology, and those dealing with CVS and CHS in general medical care, emergency care and in substance use/abuse. Outlines the physiology and known contributors to the development of adult cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS) to guide in the further investigation and treatment of adult cyclic vomiting syndrome Provides the definition and recognition of adult CVS to help organize and guide patient care Explores cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome (CHS) and its relationship to adult CVS INDICE: 1.
