Outpatient Nutrition Care: GI Metabolic and Home Nutrition Support Practical Guidelines for Assessment and Management

Outpatient Nutrition Care: GI Metabolic and Home Nutrition Support Practical Guidelines for Assessment and Management

As the number of patients receiving home care nutrition support increases proper assessment and management of this therapy is crucial and clinicians need to practice at an advanced level. This second edition provides practical nutrition care information for professionals working with individuals outside of the hospital including registered dietitians nurses pharmacists and physicians. It covers screening assessing and treating malnutrition; outpatient nutrition care in diabetes cardiovascular disease gastrointestinal disease and home enteral and parenteral nutrition. Each chapter describes the disease process as well as the management of the disease or therapy. Key Features Presents practical information on proper nutrition care of individuals in the outpatient setting and those receiving home nutrition support New information on GI tests and procedures; gastroparesis/pancreatitis parenteral lipids and bariatric surgery Expanded chapter on short bowel syndrome and malabsorptive disorders Additional information on feeding options including an overview of oral oral supplements and enteral and parenteral nutrition Teaches the user additional information on disease processes as well as the management of the disease or therapy | Outpatient Nutrition Care: GI Metabolic and Home Nutrition Support Practical Guidelines for Assessment and Management

The Glycemic Index Applications in Practice

The Glycemic Index Applications in Practice

In 1981 David Jenkins Thomas Wolever and colleagues introduced the concept of the glycemic index (GI) to differentiate carbohydrates based on the rate of blood glucose rise following their consumption. Although GI was first used in diet therapy for diabetes research evidence has accumulated since then to thousands of publications from all over the world with applications for prevention and/or management of many diseases as well as effects on physiological states and exercise. The Glycemic Index: Applications in Practice has gathered together in an unbiased and critical way all the evidence and research on GI including diabetes cardiovascular disease cancer obesity polycystic ovary syndrome pregnancy outcomes sports performance eye health and cognitive functioning. It provides a detailed explanation on how to correctly measure a food’s GI how the GI of food products can be altered as well as the use and misuse of GI labelling around the globe. The contributors are either pioneers or experts in the area of GI from all around the globe including Australia Canada Europe and the United States. The book is a valuable source of information for healthcare professionals of various disciplines nutritionists dietitians food scientists medical doctors sports scientists psychologists public health (nutrition) policy makers and students in these fields as well as an important addition to university libraries. | The Glycemic Index Applications in Practice

This book is a compilation of endoscopic images of the upper gastrointestinal tract. The 3rd edition is enriched with high-resolution digital images highlighting the classification and staging of endoscopically relevant diseases. Serial documentation of diseases and procedures like corrosive injury variceal obliteration peptic ulcer etc. provides a complete informative and interesting perspective. Rare conditions like Dieulafoy’s disease and Gastric antral vascular ectasia (GAVE) have been extensively discussed along with common diseases of the GI tract. This book outlines the technique and interpretation of endoscopic images proving to be a helpful guide to endoscopy practitioners. Key FeaturesExplores various GI tract diseases through coloured high resolution clinical photographs. Serves as a useful reckoner for trainee endoscopists and practitioners pursuing gastroenterology or gastrointestinal endoscopy. The text is updated with tables flowcharts classifications and international treatment guidelines. | Atlas of Diagnostic Endoscopy 3E

Signal Transduction and Smooth Muscle

Signal Transduction and Smooth Muscle

All hollow organs such as blood vessels the gastrointestinal tract airways male and female reproductive systems and the urinary bladder are primarily composed of smooth muscle. Such organs regulate flow propulsion and mixing of luminal contents and storage by the contraction and relaxation of smooth muscle cells. Smooth muscle cells respond to numerous inputs including pressure shear stress intrinsic and extrinsic innervation hormones and other circulating molecules as well as autocrine and paracrine factors. This book is a review of smooth muscle cell regulation in the cardiovascular reproductive GI and other organ systems with emphasis on calcium and receptor signaling. Key selling features:Focuses on smooth muscles of different types Describes ion channel signaling mechanismsReviews calcium and receptor signalingIncludes novel cutting-edge methodologiesSummarizes studies of mice with genetically encoding sensors in smooth muscleChapter 9 of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF under a CC-BY 4. 0 license. https://s3-us-west-2. amazonaws. com/tandfbis/rt-files/docs/Open+Access+Chapters/9781498774222_oachapter9. pdf | Signal Transduction and Smooth Muscle

Human Variation From the Laboratory to the Field

Human Variation From the Laboratory to the Field

The transition in anthropological and biomedical research methods over the past 50 years from anthropometric and craniometric measurements to large-scale microarray genetic studies has resulted in continued revision of opinions and ideas relating to the factors and forces that drive human variation. Human Variation:From the Laboratory to the Field brings together the contributions of 22 scientists working in four continents to identify and address challenges imposed by variability. It reviews the way we examine and analyze human variation paying specific attention to genetics growth and development and physiology. In presenting new evidence and findings it also discusses current developments in methodology and analytical techniques detailing both field and laboratory approaches and looking at how the two perspectives complement each other. In bridging that gap between laboratory trials and studies of the human in context this book covers a number of interesting research areas including — Human adaptation to natural and artificial light including variations in circadian photosensitivity and effects of light on GI activity Cold tolerance and lifestyle in modern society Genetics of body weight and obesity Human adaptability to emotional and intellectual mental stresses Geography migration climate and environmental plasticity as contributors to human variation Impact of natural environmental stressors including pollution on physiological and morphological processes This book is the latest volume in a series of works from the Society for the Study of Human Biology (SSHB) which for half a century has advanced and promoted research in the biology of human populations in all of its branches including human viability genetics human adaptability and ecology and evolution. It holds two scientific meetings a year. This volume represents work presented during its most recent gathering. | Human Variation From the Laboratory to the Field
