Dietary Intake and Type 2 Diabetes
The prevalence of diabetes is on the increase in the UK and worldwide, partly due to changes in lifestyle which predispose individuals to overweight and obesity. It is estimated that about 90% of the currently diagnosed adults have type 2 diabetes, and based on the World Health Organisation (WHO) report, about 422 million adults were living with diabetes in 2014 compared with 108 million in 1980; this condition caused about 1.5 million deaths in 2012. In the United States of America, it is estimated that about 30.3 million adults are living with diabetes, with a further 1.5 million new diabetes cases diagnosed every year, representing an increasing prevalence of this condition. Diabetes repr...

Nutrition and Chronic Conditions
The effects of nutrition in chronic conditions, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, dementia, stroke, and inflammatory bowel disease continue to generate interest among researchers. This stems from the fact that diet is a modifiable risk factor for these diseases, which manifest either as single entities or in co-morbid states in individuals and populations around the world. In particular, the prevalence of diabetes and cardiovascular disease is on the rise, especially in developed countries, but also in developing economies, partly due to lifestyle changes, including diet. For example, ischaemic heart disease is the leading cause of death globally. When combined with stroke, these con...
Recent Advances in Enteral Nutrition
The subject of enteral nutrition is an interesting one both to the healthcare professionals working in this practice area and to the individuals who may benefit from nutritional support. These individuals usually have functional guts but may be suffering from dysphagia (with the underlying neurological deficits) or the effects of radiotherapy treatment. Enteral nutrition involves the provision of nutritional support to individuals whose nutritional requirements cannot be met by a normal diet. In particular, it is the process of delivering enteral feed via feeding tubes such nasogastric feeding, nasojejunal and percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tubes. Often, enteral nutrition provision invo...

Nutrition in Chronic Conditions
The effects of nutrition on chronic conditions, such as diabetes, obesity, heart disease, and stroke, continue to generate interest among researchers. This is because diet is a modifiable risk factor. The composition of diet, including the proportions and types of macronutrients and micronutrients, is a major contributor to chronic diseases. The beneficial effects of nutritional interventions on chronic conditions have been well documented, although differences remain among researchers concerning their overall impact. The evaluations of the role of nutrition in chronic conditions draw on diet's effects on body weight, body composition, glycemic, and insulin excursions, and vascular remodelin...
Strategic Concept for Managing Healthcare in Nigeria
The current effort of Mr Eboh is an attempt to look at the management of healthcare in Nigeria from an independent perspective. He seeks to develop new and exciting concepts, employ change management models and enunciate pragmatic strategies for the purpose of promoting a workable health sector in the country. Mr Eboh's many years of management experience in the National Health Service, United Kingdom coupled with his academic background in Health Service Management are quite unique and evident in the way he reviewed the current healthcare in Nigeria and the approach aimed at restructuring and supporting a more potentially effective healthcare planning and delivery systems. This book will no doubt be quite useful for people that develop policies for healthcare services across the boundaries of management structures both in government and private healthcare institutions. Similarly, it will be very valuable for those that wish to develop career in managing the nation's healthcare services, as well as for academics and professionals due to its depth of analysis of healthcare issues.
