Dar Days
Dar Days is a narrative account of Charles R. Swift's experiences in Tanzania during his eight year employment by the Tanzanian government, serving as Consultant Psychiatrist to the Ministry of Health and Professor of Psychiatry in the new Faculty of Medicine. This book proceeds chronologically from Swift's arrival in Dar es Salaam in September 1966 to his departure in July 1974. Dar Days is unique in its description of life in a newly independent African nation. It helps the reader understand why Tanzania has remained politically stable throughout its forty years, a paradigm of what can occur when people work together for a common good.
Metabolic Issues of Clinical Nutrition
As widely spread health problems related to over- and undernutrition have grown nowadays to an epidemic extent and even prevail over infectious diseases, a better knowledge of the metabolic basis of clinical nutrition has become essential. The extremes of the nutritional spectrum, undernutrition and obesity, are no longer considered as isolated opposites with different effects on separate risk groups, but paradoxically prove to be interacting in a setting of rapidly changing lifestyles, as is presently the case worldwide. Recurring issues such as insulin resistance, changes in intermediary metabolism, fluid and electrolyte physiology, genetic and non-genetic inheritance are highlighted, as well as the biological linkage between maternal undernutrition and the development of obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease in later life. The problems at stake present a new and enormous challenge for future healthcare policies and, therefore, are better tackled today. This book will be an interesting source of knowledge for internists, family physicians, pediatricians, dieticians, endocrinologists, gastroenterologists, and public health officers.

Policies to protect children from the harmful impact of food marketing
Children continue to be exposed to powerful food marketing in settings where they gather (e.g. schools, sports clubs), during children’s typical television viewing times or on children’s television channels, on digital spaces popular with young people, and in magazines targeting children and adolescents. Such food marketing predominantly promotes foods that are high in saturated fatty acids, trans-fatty acids, free sugars and/or sodium (HFSS), and uses a wide variety of marketing strategies that are likely to appeal to children, including celebrity/sports endorsements, promotional characters, product claims, promotion, gifts/incentives, tie-ins, competitions and games. Food marketing has a harmful impact on children’s food choice and their dietary intake. It affects their purchase requests to adults for marketed foods and influences the development of children’s norms about food consumption. This WHO guideline provides Member States with recommendations and implementation considerations on policies to protect all children from the harmful impact of food marketing, based on evidence specific to children and to the context of food marketing.
