Reciprocal Translation Between Pathophysiology and Practice in Health and Disease brings a novel perspective, closing the knowledge gap between normal/abnormal physiology. Chapters describe the basic mechanisms underlying a disease or trauma-related response, describe consequences in practice, and provide insights on how to use information to better understand disease outcomes. Other sections explore how these responses are beneficial and driven by similar hormones and inflammatory immune cell derived modulators. This is a must-have resource for those seeking an authoritative and comprehensive understanding on how to treat the basic mechanisms underlying disease or trauma-related responses.
With contributions from Petronella L.M. Reijven.

- Provides an overview of fundamental/foundational content and then goes on to translate the information to more clinically-oriented perspectives
- Highlights the benefit of normal pathophysiological response to stress and the misunderstandings surrounding the treatment of this response
- Explains how treatment should be adapted to support the inflammatory response and how to treat its inflammatory cause
- Includes case studies and slides
Basic researchers, clinical researchers and clinicians in the life sciences and medicine interested in understanding and treating the basic mechanisms underlying disease or trauma-related responses

Peter B. Soeters
Peter B. Soeters, MD, PhD is Emeritus Professor of Surgery at Maastricht University and retired in 2006. He has been a licensed surgeon and intensivist and after starting general surgery gradually focused on patients with abdominal catastrophe (inflammatory bowel disease, postoperative or spontaneous abdominal complications) and morbid obesity. He introduced artificial nutrition in 1970 in the Netherlands. In 1984 he established a surgical laboratory, in which interorgan inflammatory metabolism was studied in small and larger animal models and studies in humans were supported. He supervised 35-40 PhD students addressing these issues. Twelve of these PhD students became full professors. He published 280 peer reviewed papers, 65% of them as first or last author (H-index 72) He held several positions in Surgical, Gastroenterological, Hepatological, Nutritional/ Metabolic Societies and scientific journals nationally and internationally, and holds 8 honorary memberships of these societies. He was knighted in the order of the Dutch Lion in 2006.
