Advances in Clinical Nutrition - - Bog - Springer - Plusbog.dk

Advances in Clinical Nutrition - - Bog - Springer - Plusbog.dk

The advent of any new and effective therapy is soon followed by large numbers of publications in which the indications and benefits are explored critically. It is not unexpected, therefore, that within five years of the first Bermuda Symposium on advances in parenteral nutrition that a second Symposium was considered appropriate to review progress and explore new areas of investigation, as well as enlarging the scope of the meeting to include enteral nutrition. The rate of progress can be judged by the number of subjects which were not discussed at the first Symposium. For example, home parenteral nutrition, computer assisted assessment and prescribing, Studies of body protein synthesis and breakdown and the role of branched-chain amino acids are all new subjects for this Symposium which were not covered at all in the first meeting. Much progress has also been made to our understanding of the biochemi­ cal complications of parenteral nutrition and the problems related to long term access to the circulation. Nutritional care has become safer and more effective. There is an increasing awareness of the difficulties in making a true nutritional assessment in selecting patients for total parenteral nutrition and more attention has also been focussed on different approaches to enteral support in the management of undernourished patients. There is also continuing debate on the cost effectiveness of this expensive method of treatment and critics look in vain for evidence of efficacy based on controlled trials in specific groups of patients.

Nutrition and Exercise in Obesity Management - - Bog - Springer - Plusbog.dk

Nutrition and Exercise in Obesity Management - - Bog - Springer - Plusbog.dk

It is a pleasure to present, Nutrition and Exercise in Obesity Management, for reference and textbook use. The text is an outgrowth of the Obesity­ Weight Control Track of the 1982 La Crosse Health and Sports Science Symposium, sponsored annually by the La Crosse Exercise Program, University of Wisconsin-La Crosse. With versatile faculty, topics, and attending professionals, the Obesity-Weight Control Track stimulated an effort to produce interdisciplinary resources on obesity. Out of this effort, three books have been compiled and edited. The first book, Evaluation and Treatment of Obesity, introduces an inter­ disciplinary, practical approach to obesity management. This book, Nutrition and Exercise in Obesity Management, compiles the information specifically related to nutrition and exercise management of obese indi­ viduals. The third book, Behavioral Management of Obesity, relates be­ havioral theories to the modification of eating habits and activity patterns. These three books apply the latest information from the fields of medi­ cine, nutrition, exercise, and psychology to the problem of obesity. The information is intended to guide health professionals in the interdisci­ plinary management of obesity. In 1983 the Obesity-Weight Control Track focused on controversial issues of theoretical and practical concern. The speakers from this track contributed their expertise to the compilation of two additional books. Thus, Trends and Controversies in Obesity Research and Innovation in Obesity Program Development will complete the series. Consider the five volumes a consolidated, comprehensive reference related to the growing, interdisciplinary field of weight control.

Nutrition, Food Markets and Agriculture - Christian J. Jaggi - Bog - Springer - Plusbog.dk

Nutrition, Food Markets and Agriculture - Christian J. Jaggi - Bog - Springer - Plusbog.dk

Today, nutrition is mainly discussed under nutritional, medical-health or ideological aspects (e.g. vegetarianism, veganism, etc.). Although the food industry represents one of the most important markets, questions of food production, agriculture, food trade and biodiversity are mostly discussed under national auspices. Not only on the producer side, but also from the consumer perspective, food markets - although still nationally structured - have become more and more global markets, which can be seen, for example, in the development of food commodity prices. In addition, large food corporations are pursuing the strategy of standardizing the entire value chains in the agricultural and food sectors - under their control, mind you. The book addresses economic issues related to food production, agriculture, food trade and biodiversity. Alternatives to traditional agriculture, factory farming, and biodiversity loss are discussed - and reflected upon from an economic perspective. Particular attention is paid to aspects of globalization. This book is a translation of the original German 1 st edition Ernährung, Nahrungsmittelmärkte und Landwirtschaft by Christian J. Jäggi, published by Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden GmbH, part of Springer Nature in 2018. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation. Springer Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for the production of books and on the related technologies to support the authors.

SPSS for Starters, Part 2 - Ton J. Cleophas - Bog - Springer - Plusbog.dk

SPSS for Starters, Part 2 - Ton J. Cleophas - Bog - Springer - Plusbog.dk

The first part of this title contained all statistical tests that are relevant for starters on SPSS, and included standard parametric and non-parametric tests for continuous and binary variables, regression methods, trend tests, and reliability and validity assessments of diagnostic tests. The current part 2 of this title reviews multistep methods, multivariate models, assessments of missing data, performance of diagnostic tests, meta-regression, Poisson regression, confounding and interaction, and survival analyses using log tests and segmented time-dependent Cox regression. Methods for assessing non linear models, data seasonality, distribution free methods, including Monte Carlo methods and artificial intelligence, and robust tests are also covered. Each method of testing is explained using a data example from clinical practice,including every step in SPSS, and a text with interpretations of the results and hints convenient for data reporting. In order to facilitate the use of this cookbook the data files of the examples is made available by the editor through extras.springer.com. Both part 1 and 2 of this title contain a minima amount of text and maximal technical details, but we believe that this property will not refrain students from mastering the SPSS software systematics, and that, instead, it will be a help to that aim. Yet, we recommend that it will used together with the textbook "Statistics Applied to Clinical Trials" (5th edition, Springer, Dordrecht 2012) and the e-books "Statistics on a Pocket Calculator Part 1 and 2 (Springer, Dordrecht, 2011 and 2012) from the same authors.

Statistical Analysis of Clinical Data on a Pocket Calculator, Part 2 - Ton J. Cleophas - Bog - Springer - Plusbog.dk

Statistical Analysis of Clinical Data on a Pocket Calculator, Part 2 - Ton J. Cleophas - Bog - Springer - Plusbog.dk

The first part of this title contained all statistical tests relevant to starting clinical investigations, and included tests for continuous and binary data, power, sample size, multiple testing, variability, confounding, interaction, and reliability. The current part 2 of this title reviews methods for handling missing data, manipulated data, multiple confounders, predictions beyond observation, uncertainty of diagnostic tests, and the problems of outliers. Also robust tests, non-linear modeling , goodness of fit testing, Bhatacharya models, item response modeling, superiority testing, variability testing, binary partitioning for CART (classification and regression tree) methods, meta-analysis, and simple tests for incident analysis and unexpected observations at the workplace and reviewed. Each test method is reported together with (1) a data example from practice, (2) all steps to be taken using a scientific pocket calculator, and (3) the main results and their interpretation. Although several of the described methods can also be carried out with the help of statistical software, the latter procedure will be considerably slower. Both part 1 and 2 of this title consist of a minimum of text and this will enhance the process of mastering the methods. Yet the authors recommend that for a better understanding of the test procedures the books be used together with the same authors'' textbook "Statistics Applied to Clinical Studies" 5th edition edited 2012, by Springer Dordrecht Netherlands. More complex data files like data files with multiple treatment modalities or multiple predictor variables can not be analyzed with a pocket calculator. We recommend that the small books "SPSS for starters", Part 1 and 2 (Springer, Dordrecht, 2010, and 2012) from the same authors be used as a complementary help for the readers'' benefit.

Handbook of Psychiatric Diagnostic Procedures - R.c.w. Hall - Bog - Springer - Plusbog.dk

Handbook of Psychiatric Diagnostic Procedures - R.c.w. Hall - Bog - Springer - Plusbog.dk

The first volume of this Handbook discussed neuroendocrine diagnostic tests and the diagnostic use of central nervous system amine metabolites. That volume further reviewed the toxicological evaluation of patients and the laboratory evalua­ tion of treatment outcome. It suggested a system for evaluating newly admitted psychiatric patients and dermed the scope of diagnostic procedures available in the emergency department. Volume II focuses on the use and interpretation of electro physiologic and radiologic diagnostic tests in psychiatry and then explores the laboratory evaluation of special groups of patients. The clinical sections of this volume are designed to assist the physician in in­ stituting a proper workup for specific patients and defining tests which will assist them in the differential diagnosis of various psychiatric disorders. Such workups are critical to exclude possible organic disorders which can present with psychia­ tric symptoms. The workup suggested for the various classes of patients will assist the clini­ cian with differential diagnosis, provide base-line information for long-term follow­ up, delineate biological perimeters at the beginning of treatment, protect the pa­ tient from unrecognized cardiac, renal, hepatic, or endocrine disorders which could be adversely affected by the administration of medications, and provide a rational sequencing of workup for particular disorders to insure the most thorough yet cost­ efficient approach to the patient.

Handbook of Psychiatric Diagnostic Procedures Vol. I - R.c.w. Hall - Bog - Springer - Plusbog.dk

Handbook of Psychiatric Diagnostic Procedures Vol. I - R.c.w. Hall - Bog - Springer - Plusbog.dk

The Science of Psychiatry We live in exciting times. Psychiatrists practicing their specialty are beset as never before with news of developments in the field. The conduits of news to the practicing clinician are usually either stories written in the popular medical press such as news circulars and advertisements from commercial concerns, or from de­ tailed scientific articles written for the scientific community. In both forms, the news has been coming thick and fast. The problem encountered most often by practicing psychiatrists and clini­ cians responsible for hospital facilities is integrating this material into a coherent whole, with sufficient technical detail to permit the appropriate development or use of the new tests and procedures in the clinical setting. The two volumes comprising the Handbook of Psychiatric Diagnostic Pro­ cedures represent an attempt to provide a clinically useful review of the current accepted applicability of these tests and procedures, to enable the clinician to properly implement and evaluate the procedures as well as the results obtained.

Immunological and Clinical Aspects of Allergy - - Bog - Springer - Plusbog.dk

Immunological and Clinical Aspects of Allergy - - Bog - Springer - Plusbog.dk

In the scientific aspects of immunology, the pace of advance has been almost overwhelming, but with some notable exceptions, clinical benefits have been slow. For those who are interested in allergy, the situation has been somewhat different. Here, the scientific aspects have lagged sadly behind other branches of immunology. There has, however, been a recent explosion of knowledge, which began with the discovery of immunoglobulin E, and a curious situation has come to light. The speculations of the older allergists, which had often been derided as mere inventions, now appear to be largely true. A number of ''preposterous'' hypotheses have acquired the respectability that comes with scientific proof and the entire field is now full of excitement and challenge. It is no longer doubted that ''reaginic'' antibody can sensitize cells that reside beneath the surface of the skin or mucous membranes. Skin prick tests with ''hair of the tail of the dog'' have been legitimized by correlating them with the carefully validated results of radioallergosorbent tests. It has furthermore been shown beyond doubt that immunotherapy with increasing amounts of bee venom really can ''hyposensitize'' patients who have previously suffered anaphylactic reactions to bee stings. This book has been published in the hope that, in the field of allergy, it will bridge the gap between basic science and the clinical application.

Cholestatic Liver Diseases in Children and Adults - - Bog - Springer - Plusbog.dk

Cholestatic Liver Diseases in Children and Adults - - Bog - Springer - Plusbog.dk

Cholestatic disorders of infancy and adulthood represent a major group of causes of end-stage chronic liver disease. There has been great scientific interest in these disorders in recent years, so the time has come to evaluate treatment modalities in old and even new cholestatic diseases. Since secondary malnutrition plays an important role in inducing multiorgan morbidity in these patients, nutritional and metabolic aspects need better understanding. The influence of disease and nutrition-related problems on liver transplantation as the ultimate therapy of cholestatic disorders is also of current interest. This book, the proceedings of an International Falk Workshop held in Hamburg, Germany, 25-26 January 1996, brings together a group of experts from around the world to explore and elucidate these topics. It will be of interest to all hepatologists and clinicians, especially paediatricians.

Pediatric Dialysis - - Bog - Springer - Plusbog.dk

Pediatric Dialysis - - Bog - Springer - Plusbog.dk

The provision of optimal dialysis therapy to children requires a thorough understanding of the multi-disciplinary manner in which the pediatric patient is affected by renal insufficiency. Knowledge of the technical aspects of peritoneal dialysis, hemodialysis and continuous renal replacement therapy must be complemented by attention to issues such as anemia, renal osteodystrophy, hypertension, growth, cognitive development, nutrition, nursing care and the psychosocial adaptation of the child and family to chronic disease. The inaugural edition of Pediatric Dialysis provides a comprehensive review of these and other related topics with a singular emphasis on the unique aspects of their application to children. With authoritative, clinically relevant, well-referenced chapters written by a host of recognized international experts who emphasize key aspects of contemporary management, Pediatric Dialysis has been designed to serve as a primary resource to all clinicians involved in the care of the pediatric dialysis patient.

Soil - Miroslav Kutilek - Bog - Springer - Plusbog.dk

Soil - Miroslav Kutilek - Bog - Springer - Plusbog.dk

The main focus of this monograph is to explain the important role of soil and the environment to a broad audience. Soil is one of the five essential factors crucial for human life. On the one hand the authors describe a responsible approach and use of soil, established on a basic knowledge of the nature of soil and the countless ongoing processes within soil. On the other hand they explain the precarious link between soil and regional environment, which is indispensable for plant and animal communities. In addition to these topics its chapters describe the unique roles of soil texture, soil structure and soil pore systems in hydrologic cycles, plant nutrition and conditions affecting the preservation or eventual extinction of soil. This book concludes with the principles of soil protection and revitalization. General readers with an interest in biology, chemistry, physics or geology will find this book highly informative.

Examination of the in vitro Regenerative and Neuroprotective Potential of Short Chain Fatty Acid Butyrate - Clarissa Annabella Lohmann - Bog -

Examination of the in vitro Regenerative and Neuroprotective Potential of Short Chain Fatty Acid Butyrate - Clarissa Annabella Lohmann - Bog -

Immune-mediated polyneuropathies stem from dysregulation of the immune system and affect a wide range of the population. Inflammatory diseases such as chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) and Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) are the most common acute and chronic treatable immune-mediated polyneuropathies. The immune system mediates primarily demyelination but also neuronal degeneration through oxidative stress. As a result, patients suffer from hyporeflexia or areflexia accompanied with sensory and motor deficits as the disease progresses, which can lead to hospitalization and death. Over the years, nutrition and intestinal metabolism have become more relevant for the regulation of the immune system. In particular, short chain fatty acids (SCFA) have become the focus of attention. Currently, the best-studied SCFA is butyrate, produced by bacteria in the intestine along with propionate and acetate. Butyrate has already achieved promising results in areas such as oncology and immunology. Now, in the context of this master thesis, the question arises of the neuroprotective and neuroregenerative abilities of butyrate under oxidative stress.

Strategy, Planning and Organization of Test Processes - Frank Witte - Bog - Springer - Plusbog.dk

The book provides concrete tips for the successful organization of software tests. Because: Planning and conception in advance are essential for successful test projects. Setting the right course prevents problems from the outset and highlights the need for action in software testing. In addition to theoretical basics, this work shows the implementation in practice and deals with typical problems. Frank Witte explains the decisive aspects to be considered in the test concept in order to optimally support and accompany the test process. This book is a translation of the original German 1 st edition Strategie, Planung und Organisation von Testprozessen by Frank Witte, Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden GmbH, part of Springer Nature in 2020. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation.

Detection and Measurement of Visual Impairment in Pre-Verbal Children - - Bog - Springer - Plusbog.dk

Detection and Measurement of Visual Impairment in Pre-Verbal Children - - Bog - Springer - Plusbog.dk

Over the past few years there have been considerable advances in our understanding of the normal development of vision and in our ability to detect and meaSl1re visual impairment in early childhood. It was appropriate, therefore, that a workshop, sponsored by the European Communities, should be held on the ''Detection and Measurement of Visual Impairment in Pre-verbal Children.'' This workshop, which was held at the Institute of Ophthalmology, London, between 1 and 3 April 1985, brought together visual physiologists and ophthalmologists who exchanged and discussed ideas of mutual interest. After an introductory session when the normal development of vision and the causes of visual impairment were reviewed, there were sessions devoted to the theoretical aspects of electrophysiological and psychophysical tests, the measurement of visual acuity in pre-verbal children, the measurement of other visual functions, and visual screening of pre-verbal children. This volume contains the papers presented at the workshop, and transcripts of the various discl1ssions that took place. It was a measure of the success of the workshop that participants from several different disciplines were able to have fruitful discussions and to suggest areas of common interest where collaborative ventures could usefully be pursued. It is hoped that this venture will be followed by others where a mul ti­ disciplinary approach will improve both our knowledge of visual handicap in childhood and our management of this important group of sensorily impaired children.

Automotive Ergonomics - - Bog - Springer - Plusbog.dk

Automotive Ergonomics - - Bog - Springer - Plusbog.dk

Ergonomics teaches how to design technology in such a way that it is optimally adapted to the needs, wishes and characteristics of the user. In this context, the concept of the human-machine system has become established. In a systematic way and with a detailed view of the complicated technical and perceptual psychological and methodological connections, this book explains the basics of automotive ergonomics with numerous examples. The application is shown in examples such as package, design of displays and control elements, of environmental ergonomics such as lighting, sound, vibrations, climate and smell. The design of driver assistance systems from an ergonomic perspective is also a central topic. The book is rounded off by methods of ergonomic vehicle development, the use of mock-ups, driving simulators and tests in real vehicles and prototypes. For the first time, those responsible in the automotive industry and in the field of relevant research are provided with a specialized systematic work that provides the ergonomic findings in the design of today''s automobiles. This provides planners and designers of today''s automobiles with concrete information for ergonomic product development, enabling them to keep an eye on decisive requirements and subsequent customer acceptance. This book is a translation of the original German 1 st edition Automobilergonomie by Heiner Bubb, Klaus Bengler, Rainer E. Grünen & Mark Vollrath, published by Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden GmbH, part of Springer Nature in 2015. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation. Springer Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for the production of books and on the related technologies to support the authors.
