Nutritional Support after Gastrointestinal Surgery
by Donato Francesco Altomare Maria Teresa RotelliThis volume provides readers with the necessary information to select the most appropriate nutritional support following gastrointestinal tract surgery.Most patients are worried about resuming oral intake, particularly when the surgery has altered the GI tract normal physiology removing organs (e.g. total colectomy) or part of them, or modifying the natural sequence of the different GI tract parts (e.g. after esophagectomy or pancreatectomy). Patients may also worry about the possible complications of an inappropriate alimentation. As a matter of fact, several metabolic processes can be modified by GI tract surgery (e.g. major liver resection or pancreatectomy), thus making the nutritional support essential: and the same support is fundamental in bariatric surgery, nowadays widely used for super-obese patients. There is therefore a need for a nutritional guide in surgery and in troubleshooting postoperative cases where nutrition is a major issue This book offers nutritionists insights into the possible alterations of GI tract physiology occurring after surgery, and will be a valuable resource for surgeons, gastroenterologists, coloproctologists, nutritionists and clinical specialist nurses, seeking guidance on postoperative nutrition.

Nutritionism: The Science and Politics of Dietary Advice (Arts and Traditions of the Table: Perspectives on Culinary History)
by Gyorgy ScrinisPopularized by Michael Pollan in his best-selling In Defense of Food, Gyorgy Scrinis's concept of nutritionism refers to the reductive understanding of nutrients as the key indicators of healthy food—an approach that has dominated nutrition science, dietary advice, and food marketing. Scrinis argues this ideology has narrowed and in some cases distorted our appreciation of food quality, such that even highly processed foods may be perceived as healthful depending on their content of "good" or "bad" nutrients. Investigating the butter versus margarine debate, the battle between low-fat, low-carb, and other weight-loss diets, and the food industry's strategic promotion of nutritionally enhanced foods, Scrinis reveals the scientific, social, and economic factors driving our modern fascination with nutrition.Scrinis develops an original framework and terminology for analyzing the characteristics and consequences of nutritionism since the late nineteenth century. He begins with the era of quantification, in which the idea of protective nutrients, caloric reductionism, and vitamins' curative effects took shape. He follows with the era of good and bad nutritionism, which set nutricentric dietary guidelines and defined the parameters of unhealthy nutrients; and concludes with our current era of functional nutritionism, in which the focus has shifted to targeted nutrients, superfoods, and optimal diets. Scrinis's research underscores the critical role of nutrition science and dietary advice in shaping our relationship to food and our bodies and in heightening our nutritional anxieties. He ultimately shows how nutritionism has aligned the demands and perceived needs of consumers with the commercial interests of food manufacturers and corporations. Scrinis also offers an alternative paradigm for assessing the healthfulness of foods—the food quality paradigm—that privileges food production and processing quality, cultural-traditional knowledge, and sensual-practical experience, and promotes less reductive forms of nutrition research and dietary advice.
Nutritionism: The science and politics of dietary advice (Arts And Traditions Of The Table: Perspectives On Culinary History Ser.)
by Gyorgy Scrinis'Gyorgy Scrinis exposes the folly of the reductionist approach and proposes an alternative food quality paradigm, based on respecting traditional dietary patterns and reducing technological processing. It may offend nutritionists and will upset the food industry, but it could also herald a delicious revolution in our ability to eat well.' - Dr Rosemary Stanton OAM, NutritionistFrom the fear of 'bad nutrients' such as fat and cholesterol, to the celebration of supposedly health-enhancing vitamins and omega-3 fats, our understanding of food and health has been dominated by a reductive scientific focus on nutrients. It is on this basis that butter and eggs have been vilified, yet highly processed foods such as margarine have been promoted as being healthier than whole foods.Gyorgy Scrinis argues that this ideology of nutritionism has narrowed and distorted our appreciation of food quality, while promoting nutrition confusion and nutritional anxieties. The food industry exploits these anxieties by nutritionally modifying their food products, and marketing them with nutritional and health claims.Through a fascinating investigation into such issues as the butter versus margarine debate, the battle between low-fat, low-carb, low-calorie and low-GI weight-loss diets, the limitations of dietary guidelines, and the search for the optimal dietary pattern - from Mediterranean and vegetarian to paleo diets - Scrinis builds a revealing history of the scientific, social, and economic factors driving our modern fascination with nutrition, and explores alternative ways of understanding food quality.

Nutzung von Routinedaten für die Qualitätsmessung in der ambulanten Pflege
by Kathrin WehnerIn der eigenen Häuslichkeit versorgt zu werden, ist für viele pflegebedürftige Menschen von großer Bedeutung. Neben Angehörigen gewährleisten ambulante Pflegedienste die häusliche Versorgung. In Deutschland wird ein Viertel der zu Hause betreuten pflegebedürftigen Menschen von ambulanten Pflegediensten versorgt. Das Thema der Qualität der ambulanten Pflege ist zunehmend Gegenstand pflegefachlicher und politischer Diskussionen. Eine Möglichkeit zur Messung von Versorgungsqualität ist die Nutzung von Routinedaten von Kranken- bzw. Pflegekassen. Für die ambulante Pflege gab es hierzu bislang keine Überlegungen. Im Rahmen der Forschungsarbeit wurde daher die generelle Nutzbarkeit von Routinedaten für die ambulante Pflege untersucht. Im Ergebnis zeigt sich, dass eine Reihe von qualitätsrelevanten Versorgungsaspekten in der ambulanten Pflege anhand von Routinedaten operationalisierbar ist. Die Mehrzahl der relevanten Versorgungsaspekte ist jedoch nicht über Routinedaten abbildbar. Hierfür wären unter anderem grundlegende Anpassungen der gesetzlichen Rahmenbedingungen erforderlich.
Não É Só Sangue: Uma Conversa Sobre o Ciclo Menstrual
by Patrícia LemosO ciclo menstrual é reflexo da sua saúde. Aprenda o que o seu corpo lhe está a querer dizer. Além das questões menstruais, o livro ajudará as mulheres a compreender o importante conceito de literacia de corpo: que se traduz na capacidade de interpretarmos os sinais que o corpo nos dá e capacitar-nos no sentido de nos permitir tornarmo-nos uma autoridade nos nossos próprios assuntos. Porque é que precisa de um livro sobre ciclo menstrual? O mais provável é que seja diferente do que aquilo que lhe contaram. Para algumas pessoas, a menstruação é a chatice que aparece de quando em vez; para outras, não incomoda assim tanto. Mas para todas as pessoas que menstruam: o ciclo menstrual é informação. Patrícia Lemos, educadora para a saúde menstrual e fertilidade, ajuda-nos a compreender o nosso ciclo menstrual e a olhá-lo como um indicador de saúde, sempre — e não apenas quando se pensa em ter bebés. Neste livro, descobrirá que:· No ciclo menstrual, o mais importante é invisível aos olhos. · Ovular faz-nos falta, mesmo quando não queremos engravidar. · A expressão do período (cor, consistência, cheiro, duração) fornece pistas sobre a nossa saúde.· Num pico de fertilidade, as probabilidades de conceção são de cerca de 20% a 25% a cada ciclo. · A TPM tem tratamento, e não é suposto existir. · A síndrome dos ovários poliquísticos é uma condição crónica, não se cura com a pílula e não se diagnostica apenas com uma ecografia.· A endometriose é uma condição de saúde séria e estrogénio-dependente. · Infertilidade e subfertilidade são coisas distintas.

O Estranho e Surpreendente Mundo dos Sentidos
by Guy LeschzinerCOMO OS SENTIDOS MOLDAM A NOSSA PERCEÇÃO DO MUNDO Os nossos sentidos são vitais para a compreensão de tudo o que nos rodeia. Eles enriquecem as nossas experiências de vida e são parte integrante das nossas memórias. No entanto, são falíveis e inconsistentes, vulneráveis a diferenças entre indivíduos e a doenças, pelo que aquilo que consideramos ser real não é mais do que uma reconstrução complexa, uma realidade virtual criada pelo nosso cérebro. A verdade é que os nossos sentidos podem trair-nos, oferecendo-nos a sua própria interpretação do que podemos ver, ouvir, cheirar, tocar ou sentir. Neste livro, o Dr. Guy Leschziner, um conceituado neurologista, apresenta-nos histórias reais e extraordinárias de pessoas cujos sentidos foram alterados de alguma forma, com consequências inesperadas e por vezes devastadoras: pessoas a quem as palavras ativam as papilas gustativas, produzindo um verdadeiro sabor; pessoas cegas que têm uma visão pormenorizada e vívida; pessoas para quem as sensações de quente e frio se invertem. Estes relatos surpreendentes demonstram as limitações dos sentidos, a sua dependência do bom funcionamento do nosso sistema nervoso e, mais importante, o modo como a perceção do mundo pode ser bastante diferente da realidade para cada um de nós. «Um mergulho fascinante nas profundezas das funções e disfunções dos sentidos.» Publishers Weekly «Um livro profundamente comovente e poderoso, repleto de ideias provocadoras sobre a perceção humana e a forma como construímos a realidade.» DANIEL M. DAVIS, autor de O Incrível Sistema Imunitário «Um livro intenso, divertido e excecional. O professor Leschziner conduz-nos numa viagem de exploração dos nossos sentidos, fazendo-nos questionar a natureza da nossa realidade e a forma como interpretamos o mundo que nos rodeia.» Dr. Alistair Stanhouse, psiquiatra e autor de Head First «Através de histórias vívidas de doenças que afetam os nossos sentidos, o professor Leschziner faz uma análise profunda da imensidão de experiências sensoriais presentes em todos os momentos das nossas vidas, mas de que quase não estamos conscientes. Uma fantástica abordagem da neurociência à compreensão dos sentidos.» Allan Ropper, autor bestseller internacional «Fiquei encantada desde o primeiro parágrafo. Através de histórias reais sobre o que acontece quando a nossa frágil perceção do mundo que nos rodeia é afetada, o Dr. Guy Leschziner liga-nos de novo aos nossos sentidos.» Professora Alice Roberts, autora, anatomista e antropóloga
