Summary : "Description: The leading clinical reference work in the field--now significantly revised with 85% new material--this handbook has given thousands of practitioners and students a comprehensive understanding of the causes, consequences, and management of adult and childhood obesity. In concise, extensively referenced chapters from preeminent authorities, the Handbook presents foundational knowledge and reviews the state of the science of evidence-based psychosocial and lifestyle interventions as well as pharmacological and surgical treatments. It provides guidelines for conducting psychosocial and medical assessments and for developing individualized treatment plans. The effects of obesity--and of weight loss--on physical and psychological well-being are reviewed, as are strategies for helping patients maintain their weight loss.

Summary : Nutrition plays a fundamental role in the development of living beings, and its importance has acquired a new dimension because of technological, economic, social, and political advances. Global changes in society and the increase in the prevalence of complex diseases as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, neurodegenerative and even cancer, have led to the search and generation of therapeutic strategies in accordance with the scientific advances of the 21st century. Nutrition, beyond its conventional approach, has gained greater prominence from the publication of the human genome project and the knowledge of the effect of food components on genes, leading to the development of functional foods and a new approach of the nutriology known as functional nutrition. Functional nutrition is the science that studies the development and use of bioactive compounds of foods or nutraceuticals, at specific doses, for the treatment of complex diseases. From understanding of the biochemical-metabolic alterations as mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, dysbiosis, inflammation, leptin resistance, neuroinflammation, a new approach to the disease is built. Based on many scientific studies, this book describes the biological effects, mechanisms of action, applications and doses used of bioactive compounds such as vitamin D, omega-3 fatty acids, ascorbic acid, coenzyme Q10, vitamin E, probiotics, caffeine, among others, to the treatment of complex disease. The implementation of functional nutrition is a therapeutic option designed to counteract the biochemical-metabolic alterations present in the disease.

Summary : This book is the first of a new series which will present the proceedings of the newly established Nestlé Nutrition Workshop Series: Clinical & Performance Programme aimed at adult nutrition. Undernutrition is a common phenomenon in elderly people, and malnutrition reaches significant levels in those being in hospital, nursing homes or home care programs. Consequences of malnutrition often go unrecognised owing to the lack of specific validated instruments to assess nutritional status in frail elderly persons. The Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) provides a single, rapid assessment of nutritional status in the elderly of different degrees of independence, allowing the prevalence of protein-energy malnutrition to be determined and to evaluate the efficacy of nutritional intervention and strategies. Easy, quick and economical to perform, it enables staff to check the nutritional status of elderly people when they enter hospitals or institutions and to monitor changes occurring during their stay. Moreover, the MNA is predictive of the cost of care and length of stay in hospital. This publication will be of immense assistance to heads of geriatric teaching units, teachers in nutrition, clinicians general practitioners and dieticians, enabling them to better detect, recognise and start treatment of malnutrition in the elderly.

Summary : Parenteral nutrition in general is required if nutritional needs cannot be met by oral or enteral feeding. In the paediatric patient, its initiation depends both on individual circumstances and the age and size of the infant or child. This compact reference work on parenteral nutrition in children is based on the 'Guidelines for Paediatric Parenteral Nutrition' that have been developed jointly by the European Society for Paediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (ESPGHAN) and the European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN), in collaboration with the European Society for Paediatric Research (ESPR).These guidelines were based on systematic literature reviews as well as a formal consensus process of a multidisciplinary panel of professionals. However, as a result of the scarcity of good quality clinical trials in children, many of the recommendations were extrapolated from adult studies and based on expert opinion. A detailed analysis of the available data was performed, and for each statement, the level of evidence and grade of recommendation was assessed. This reference guide has been conceived as an aid for the treating physician to assist him in the decision process, thus being a valuable companion in clinical practice.
