Nutritional disorders are related to poor health outcomes including longer hospital stays, postoperative complications, cancer treatment toxicity, shorter survival, and reduced quality of life. The use of nutritional assessment tools for both diagnostic and outcome measure purposes has been widely explored. However, understanding of their responsiveness to nutritional interventions is still in its incipient stages. There has been increasing awareness of the importance of nutritional screening and assessment, especially the integration of skeletal muscle mass evaluation into clinical practice. In this context, a standardized definition of low muscle mass, myosteatosis, and muscle strength is ...
Chronic alcohol use is associated with heart, liver, brain, and other organ pathology. Alcohol is a drug of abuse and a caloric food and it causes poor intake and absorption of nutrients, thus playing a major role in many aspects of clinical consequences. Alcohol use lowers consumption of fruit and vegetables, lowers tissue nutrients, and, in some cases, requires nutritional therapy by clinicians. Alcohol, Nutrition, and Health Consequences will help the clinician define the causes and types of nutritional changes due to alcohol use and also explain how nutrition can be used to ameliorate its consequences. Chapters present the application of current nutritional knowledge by physicians and di...

The most comprehensive book ever written on leatherback sea turtles. Weighing as much as 2,000 pounds and reaching lengths of over seven feet, leatherback turtles are the world’s largest reptile. These unusual sea turtles have a thick, pliable shell that helps them to withstand great depths—they can swim more than one thousand meters below the surface in search of food. And what food source sustains these goliaths? Their diet consists almost exclusively of jellyfish, a meal they crisscross the oceans to find. Leatherbacks have been declining in recent decades, and some predict they will be gone by the end of this century. Why? Because of two primary factors: human redevelopment of nestin...
