Nutritional Abnormalities in Infectious Diseases: Effects on Tuberculosis and AIDS
by Chris E TaylorListed in the 1997 edition of Doody’s Rating Service: A Buyer’s Guide to the 250 Best Health Sciences Books!Until recently, it had been presumed that chemotherapy was sufficient to control tuberculosis (TB). However, it has been estimated that this disease will claim more than 30 million lives in the coming decade. The emergence of multidrug resistant strains, the lack of patient adherence to therapy, and the resultant growing number of TB cases has made it clear that alternative approaches to fight this disease must be taken. Nutritional Abnormalities in Infectious Diseases: Effects on Tuberculosis and AIDS focuses on nutritional factors in relation to tuberculosis and AIDS to help you better understand and treat these diseases. Health care providers and researchers can refer to this valuable resource to identify the most crucial nutritional determinants involved in the control of TB, outline the nutrient-sensitive host defense mechanisms involved, define the effects of malabsorption and drug-drug interactions, and demonstrate the effects of co-infection with HIV on the incidence of TB.Representing the findings of a symposium held during the 94th General Meeting of the American Society for Microbiology, in Las Vegas, Nevada, Nutritional Abnormalities in Infectious Diseases is the work of several outstanding scientists who were invited to make presentations on selected aspects of nutrition and infectious diseases. They give you valuable information about: the effects of malnutrition on host immune parameters intracellular host defense mechanisms phagocytosis the role of cytokines the immune function vitamin A, zinc, and protein deficiency malnutrition and the developing worldWhile the role of adequate nutrition in maintaining a healthy individual is certainly well-known, the findings in Nutritional Abnormalities in Infectious Diseases uncover the role of nutrition in the progression of tuberculosis and AIDS--a matter of great economic and public health significance. Intended for researchers, practitioners, and health care providers in colleges, universities, and government institutions, this important session was sponsored in part by the Respiratory Disease Branch, Division of Microbiology & Infectious Diseases, NIAID.
Nutritional and Analytical Approaches of Gluten-Free Diet in Celiac Disease
by Edurne Simón Idoia Larretxi Itziar Churruca Arrate Lasa María Ángeles Bustamante Virginia Navarro María del Pilar Fernández-Gil Jonatan MirandaThis study by the University of Basque Country Gluten Analysis Laboratory analyzes the gluten free diet from different perspectives. The authors provide background information on gluten, celiac disease, and other pathologies related to gluten intake. Later chapters cover topics such as techniques for gluten detection in foodstuffs and additives, as well as techniques used in complex matrices. Given that the only effective treatment for celiac disease is a strict, lifelong, gluten-free diet, and that the ingestion of small amounts of gluten can cause major symptoms in gluten intolerants, in recent years there has been an increasing interest in gluten free foodstuffs. In fact, the gluten-free product market has become one of the most prosperous in the field of food and beverages. The book provides a detailed analysis of the nutritional composition of gluten-free foodstuffs and a comparison with their gluten containing analogues. While targeted towards clinicians and science professionals, such as those working to develop gluten-free foods, it also discusses the energy and nutrient content of a gluten-free diet and offers different nutritional education strategies to improve the eating habits and nutritional status of those living with celiac disease.

Nutritional Anemia (Nutrition and Health)
by Klaus Kraemer Crystal D. Karakochuk Michael B. Zimmermann Diego MorettiUnderstanding the causes of anemia is critical to inform appropriate strategies to prevent and treat anemia, particularly to reduce the risk of anemia and the burden of disease. The strength of this book lies in its cross-disciplinary nature. This publication summarizes the current state of evidence on the multifactorial causes of anemia, with a specific focus on nutritional anemia. The chapter authors are leading experts in nutrition and global health. The introductory chapters provide an overview of the global burden of anemia prevalence, the economic implications and functional consequences of anemia, and the significance of these factors to guide policy and programs. Subsequent chapters provide current evidence on iron and other micronutrient metabolism and homeostasis in regards to anemia, the multifactorial contributors to anemia (e.g. infection and genetics), and the interactions between nutrients that may contribute to anemia. The summarizing chapters detail program and policy approaches to treat, prevent and reduce anemia in the global context. Nutritional Anemia is a comprehensive resource for those involved in global health and nutrition policy, strategy, programming, or research, and serves as a guide for how government, NGO, and international agencies can effectively treat, prevent and reduce anemia globally.

Nutritional Applications in Exercise and Sport (Nutrition in Exercise & Sport)
by Ira Wolinsky Judy A. DriskellA comprehensive compilation of applied topics, Nutritional Applications in Exercise and Sport discusses issues related to the life cycle, group-specific nutritional concerns of athletes, and the particular sport of the athlete. It addresses the physically and medically disabled athlete, athletes addicted to alcohol, tobacco, or marijuana, and those with eating disorders. The book also focuses on the nutritional applications of exercise and sport rather than the usual treatment of nutrient-specific metabolism. Studies and tables clearly illustrate the concepts and provide quick and easy access to the information readers need to put theory into practice. It serves as a companion resource to books that take a nutrient/metabolism specific approach.
Nutritional Approaches To Aging Research
by Gairdner B. Moment Richard C. Adleman George S. RothThe general plan of this volume, Nutritional Approaches to Aging Research is for each chapter to present first a reasonably succinct state-of-the-art appraisal of present knowledge in the particular field or problem covered. This will vary considerable depending on the subject matter. Following this, each chapter will focus on the problems and pitfalls, both conceptual and technological, of work in the particular field and, no less important, present some of the opportunities and implications of work in that particular area.

Nutritional Aspects Of Aging: Volume 1
by Linda H. ChenThe first section in Volume 1 describes the fundamentals of nutrition and aging which include research strategies for the study of nutrition and aging. The nutritional modulation of the aging process which has provided a major breakthrough in the field of nutrition and longevity is also discussed. These include biomedical influences, and social and psychological aspects. Section 3 includes dietary characteristics of the elderly population and methods for the assessment of nutritional status. The nutritional status of the elderly with respect to individual nutrients as determined by dietary survey and by biochemical methods is described in Section 4. Section 4 also includes discussion on nutrient metabolism, requirements, nutritional imbalances, and deficiencies of nutrients. Energy metabolism and obesity as a factor in pathogenesis of diseases are also discussed.
Nutritional Aspects Of Aging: Volume 2
by Linda H. ChenIn the first section of Volume 2, toxicological factors affecting nutritional status are discussed. Medications and alcohol may affect nutritional status. Section 2 provides a discussion of nutrition-related diseases which occur more frequently among the elderly. Cardiovascular diseases including coronary heart disease and cerebrovascular disease are the leading causes of death in the U.S. The relative importance of cardiovascular diseases, in terms of all deaths for the given age group, rises steadily with age. The death rate from these diseases is 28% for the middle age group (35 to 44) and is 69% for the old age group (age 75 and above. This reflects the continued progression of artherosclerosis with aging. Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the U.S. The death rate from cancer also rises steadily with age. The death rate from diabetes mellitus increases progressively with age and more rapidly after the age of 45. The incidence of diabetes mellitus is 0.23% under age 25 and 6.2% over 45.
