Nutritional Care of Preterm Infants
Improved conditions of care for premature infants have led to markedly increased survival rates over the last few decades, particularly in very low and extremely low birth weight infants. Nutritional measures play a central role in the long-term outcome, health, and quality of life of these premature infants. In this updated and extended edition, leading experts from all over the world present the most recent evidence and critical analyses of nutrient requirements and the practice of nutritional care (with the focus on very low birth weight infants) to provide guidance for clinical application. The chapters of this publication show how growth and development can be nutritionally supported, w...
Nutritional Care of Preterm Infants
Improved conditions of care for premature infants have led to markedly increased survival rates over the last few decades, particularly in very low and extremely low birth weight infants. Nutritional measures play a central role in the long-term outcome, health and quality of life of these premature infants. In this publication, leading experts from all 5 continents present the most recent evidence and critical analyses of nutrient requirements and the practice of nutritional care (with the focus on very low birth weight infants) to provide guidance for clinical application. After the introductory chapters, covering nutritional needs and research evidence in a more general manner, topics such as amino acids and proteins, lipids, microminerals and vitamins, parenteral and enteral nutrition as well as approaches to various disease conditions are addressed. Due to its focus on critical appraisals and recommendations, this book is of interest not only for the researcher who wants to keep up to date, but also for the clinician faced with premature infants in his practice.
Nutrition and Growth
Adequate nutrition is a crucial component for child growth. Under- or malnutrition may not only affect present and future growth, but also a child's ability to develop skills. In this publication, specialists in nutrition and growth present some of the best studies from peer-reviewed journals published between July 2016 and June 2017. Each paper is briefly summarized and supplemented with editorial comments which evaluate the clinical importance of each article and discuss its application. This 'Yearbook' is an important tool for practicing physicians, including pediatricians, subspecialists in pediatric gastroenterology, metabolism and nutrition, and endocrinology. Nutritionists and dieticians, as well as other health professionals involved in the care of children, will also find this to be a useful resource.
Nutrition and Growth
complex variety of factors affect linear growth, weight gain, and body composition, with nutrition being one of the most important contributors. However, the mechanisms through which nutrition affects growth is not completely understood. This publication focuses on the interplay between nutrients and the endocrine system via manuscripts describing different clinical conditions and diagnoses covering various aspects of nutrition and growth. As in the previous volumes of the Nutrition and Growth Yearbook, an international group of experts in nutrition and growth selected limited number of significant peer-reviewed papers that were published between July 2021 and June 2022. All of the papers are supplemented with editorial comments which aim to serve as “food for thought”. This publication provides an important contribution in examining the relationship between nutrients and the endocrine system. The authors hope that their selections and comments will increase the interest among healthcare providers and researchers in the field and lead to more research in this area.
Worker and Public Health and Safety
This book on "Worker and Public Health and Safety: Current Views" brings together current scholarly work and opinions in the form of original papers and reviews related to this field of study. It provides important and recent scientific reading as well as topical medical and occupational information and research in areas of immediate relevance, such as chronic and occupational diseases, worker safety and performance, job strain, workload, injuries, accident and errors, risks and management, fitness, burnout, psychological and mental disorders including stress, therapy, job satisfaction, musculoskeletal symptoms and pain, socio-economic factors, dust pollution, pesticides, noise, pathogens, and related areas.
Psychological Implications of Preterm Birth
Preterm birth which comprises about 10% of births globally has significant short and long term implications for the child, its parents and the wider family. It poses a significant physical and mental health as well as economic burden on society. While the physical health complications of preterm birth are reasonably well documented in the literature, the data in terms of psychological impacts is still quite thin, especially for the long term. Indeed, preterm birth and the precocious hospitalization in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) might be highly distressful for both infants and parents. Different sources of stress (e.g., lights and sounds, parental separation, invasive and painful...
Dietary Protein Research Trends
Proteins are made of strings of amino acids that form chains known as peptides. Our bodies need dietary protein to accomplish many basic functions, such as building bones, moving muscles, and repairing tissue. Dietary protein, an essential nutrient, comes from meat, dairy, and certain grains and beans. Proteins differ by the types and order of amino acids they contain. Even though there are only 20 amino acids, they create almost endless variations in chains as long as 500 links. Proteins form inside animals (including humans) and plants through processes that synthesize peptides. For humans, we cannot synthesise certain "essential protein," and so we must ingest them through food. These ess...
