The Building Blocks of Life A Nutrition Foundation for Healthcare Professionals

The Building Blocks of Life A Nutrition Foundation for Healthcare Professionals

Within the United Kingdom (UK) most mainstream healthcare practitioners receive little or no nutrition education during their years of training. As a consequence the understanding of nutrition amongst primary care practitioners such as general practitioners pharmacists midwives and practice nurses is limited and is largely focused on energy consumption and obesity. There is little knowledge of the wealth of micronutrients that underpin health nor of the ticking timebomb of insufficient intakes of those micronutrients amongst a significant proportion of the population in the UK. The Building Blocks of Life: A Nutrition Foundation for Healthcare Professionals is a step towards redressing that balance. It sets out an informative and engaging narrative on how and why nutrition is the basis for good health. It discusses UK-specific issues with regards to diet and intakes of vitamins minerals essential fatty acids and other micronutrients. It also raises concerns about the potential negative health implications of the generally poor UK diet and suggests ways that healthcare practitioners can support patients in improving their long-term health outlook. Nutrition policy in the UK needs to be dragged into the 21st century and this book sets out evidence-based arguments which challenge current public health myths such as the idea that 10 micrograms of vitamin D is all anyone needs or the messaging around the consumption of saturated fat vs highly processed seed oils or that everyone can get all the nutrients they need from a varied and balanced diet. Although The Building Blocks of Life: A Nutrition Foundation for Healthcare Professionals focuses on concerns around poor diet and the consequent micronutrient inadequacies in the UK the nutritional detail is relevant no matter where you are in the world. Everyone eats all the time. It is time that mainstream medicine looked towards food as both a cause and a solution to many of the chronic degenerative conditions that plague modern life. | The Building Blocks of Life A Nutrition Foundation for Healthcare Professionals

Hydraulics in Civil and Environmental Engineering

Hydraulics in Civil and Environmental Engineering

This classic text now in its sixth edition combines a thorough coverage of the basic principles of civil engineering hydraulics with a wide-ranging treatment of practical real-world applications. It now includes a powerful online resource with worked solutions for chapter problems and solution spreadsheets for more complex problems that may be used as templates for similar issues. Hydraulics in Civil and Environmental Engineering is structured into two parts to deal with principles and more advanced topics. The first part focuses on fundamentals such as hydrostatics hydrodynamics pipe and open channel flow wave theory physical modelling hydrology and sediment transport. The second part illustrates engineering applications of these principles to pipeline system design hydraulic structures river and coastal engineering including up-to-date environmental implications as well as a chapter on computational modelling illustrating the application of computational simulation techniques to modern design in a variety of contexts. New material and additional problems for solution have been added to the chapters on hydrostatics pipe flow and dimensional analysis. The hydrology chapter has been revised to reflect updated UK flood estimation methods data and software. The recommendations regarding the assessment of uncertainty climate change predictions impacts and adaptation measures have been updated as has the guidance on the application of computational simulation techniques to river flood modelling. Andrew Chadwick is an honorary professor of coastal engineering and the former associate director of the Marine Institute at the University of Plymouth UK. John Morfett was the head of hydraulics research and taught at the University of Brighton UK. Martin Borthwick is a consultant hydrologist formerly a flood hydrology advisor at the UK’s Environment Agency and previously an associate professor at the University of Plymouth UK.

Clinical Cases A Step-by-Step Approach

Clinical Cases A Step-by-Step Approach

It is vitally important for medical students and junior doctors to grasp an understanding of ‘real-life medicine’. This innovative book of cases shows how a particular presentation may progress and the different complications that may arise and emerge over time which may be missed by the ‘snapshot in time' approach taken by many problem-based volumes. The content reflects the average length of stay for a patient in hospital in which their situation can change in a multitude of ways and the management of chronic conditions may also need to be adapted as complications arise. Demonstrates the real bedside experiences that medical students can expect in whichever simple or complex way that they may present Cases selected from a range of sub-specialties for comprehensive coverage across the curriculum Illustrates the complicated progressive problems that will be seen while practicing as a doctor with detailed diagrams and diagnostic imagery to aid understanding Shows with timepoints how differential diagnoses may change as more information becomes available and new symptoms arise Describes a typical initial hospital stay and subsequent presentations to the general practitioner and hospital readmission The Authors Andrew Solomon BM BCH MA(Hons) DM FRCP is a Consultant Physician East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust Stevenage UK.

Infant Child and Adolescent Nutrition A Practical Handbook

Infant Child and Adolescent Nutrition: A Practical Guide Second Edition is an evidence-based practical guide introducing readers to the theory behind optimal child nutrition. Containing practical advice on how to put that theory into practice this new edition facilitates learning through case studies key points and learning activities. Divided into seven sections chapters cover prenatal nutrition and nutrition throughout childhood from preterm babies to adolescents up to the age of 18. Sections throughout focus on topics ranging from nutrient requirements balanced eating patterns and common problems to cultural influences on food choices and guidelines on assessing growth and dietary intakes. Prevention and management of obesity and allergies are covered in separate chapters. The first 1000 days are given particular consideration with chapters on diets for preconception pregnancy milk feeding and complementary feeding during infancy. The chapter on nutritional treatments covers common conditions such as diabetes and Crohn’s disease as well as more intricate feeding regimes and tube feeding required for children with rarer diseases and syndromes. New in this second edition are: · Changes in in food allergy prevention and oral immunotherapy treatments. · Causes and management strategies to deal with fussy and selective eating in toddlers. · The importance of iodine in diets before and during pregnancy to improve children’s cognitive abilities. · Updated recommendations on vitamin D supplementation. This second edition is an essential reading for students taking courses in nutrition and paediatric healthcare. It serves as a useful reference for individuals responsible for the nutritional intakes of children in primary care and community settings including early years practitioners midwives health visitors school nurses and governors social workers paediatricians and general practitioners.
