Abstract:
The journal Gastroentérologie clinique et biologique succeded to Archives des maladies de l'appareil digestif published since 1907 and is one of the world's oldest journals in gastroenterology. Gastroentérologie Clinique et Biologique was created as the discipline was emerging, benefiting from new techniques such as nasogastric intubation, coprologic examinations, the first images from gastrointestinal radiology, as well as the enormous progress made in gastrointestinal surgery. The journal was founded by Albert Mathieu, a remarkable chef d'école at Paris's Saint-Antoine Hospital. The journal showed rapid success, becoming the official organ of several learned societies, in particular the French National Society of Gastroenterology (Société nationale française de gastroentérologie [SNFGE]). Thoroughly updated in the 1970s, Gastroentérologie clinique et biologique has never ceased to evolve, adapting to technical and scientific upheavals, the globalization of knowledge, and the domination of the English language.
