Early Nutrition and its Later Consequences: New Opportunities
Health problems such as hypertension, tendency to diabetes, obesity, blood lipids, vascular disease, bone health, behaviour and learning and longevity may be ‘imprinted’ during early life. This process is defined as ‘programming’ whereby a nutritional stimulus operating at a critical, sensitive period of pre and postnatal life imprints permanent effects on the structure, physiology and metabolism. For this reason, academics and industry set-up the EC supported Scientific Workshop -Early Nutrition and its Later Consequences: New Opportunities. The prime objective of the Workshop was to generate a sound exchange of the latest scientific developments within the field of early nutrition to look for opportunities for new preventive health concepts. Further, a closer look was taken at the development of food applications which could provide (future) mothers and infants with improved nutrition that will ultimately lead to better future health. The Workshop was organised by the Dept. of Pediatrics, University of Munich, Germany in collaboration with the Danone Institutes and the Infant Nutrition Cluster, a collaboration of three large research projects funded by the EU.

The aim of the European Group for Paediatric Work Physiology is to promote the in ternational exchange of scientific information relevant to the physiology of exercise in of physiologists, paediatricians, and physical growing individuals. The group consists educators. The main purpose of these meetings has been to provide scientists in this field with an informal and efficient channel for mutual discussion. Meetings have previously been held in the Federal Republic ofGermany, Czechoslo vakia, Israel, Belgium, Canada, and Sweden. This time, it was a great honor us to be entrusted with the organization ofthe Tenth Symposium ofPaediatric Work Physiolo gy. The congress took place in Joutsa, a sm...
Yearbook of Pediatric Endocrinology 2005
The body of knowledge in most medical specialties is rapidly expanding, making it virtually impossible to follow all advances in clinical and basic sciences that are relevant to a given field. This is particularly true in pediatric endocrinology, at the cross-road of pediatrics, endocrinology, development and genetics. The 2005 Yearbook of Pediatric Endocrinology brings you a selection of articles that report the year's breakthrough developments in basic sciences and evidence-based new knowledge in clinical research and clinical practice that are relevant to the field. Covering the medical literature published from July 2004 through June 2005, the editors and associate editors selected from ...
The Development of Modern Epidemiology
This book marks the 50th anniversary of the foundation of the International Epidemiological Association (IEA). It is a unique compendium by the world's leading epidemiologists of how the field has developed, and how it can be (and has been) applied to the control of common conditions and threats to public health. Five distinct sections guide the reader through the wealth of material: · Gives an historical account of the concepts and ideas, and current importance of epidemiology to global health issues and to organisations such as the WHO. · Illustrates the advances and contributions to epidemiologic knowledge and the control of disease in specific areas such as cancer, cardiovascular disea...
Ralph Edwards: RARE EVENTS
Medical treatments designed to help people can also be harmful or fatal. Around 2.5 million people die this way each year. So if any kind of medicine makes someone unwell, they or their doctor should report it. Those reports, from nearly every country in the world, go to the Uppsala Monitoring Centre (UMC) in Sweden. As the Centre’s first director, Professor Ivor Ralph Edwards transformed it from a tiny operation with limited horizons into an internationally acclaimed scientific organization at the heart of the World Health Organization’s Programme for International Drug Monitoring. He was then succeeded by his wife, Dr Marie Lindquist. This is the story of how a new science developed and a passionate and dedicated pursuit of worldwide medicines safety, with an unerring focus on the welfare of patients. The pioneering work of Ralph, Marie and their collaborators on every continent protected the lives of millions of people. It may yet improve the lives of billions more.
