Wang, 2015-04-17 There is no other time in life when the provision of adequate and balanced nutrition is of greater importance than during infancy and childhood. During this dynamic phase characterized by rapid growth, development and developmental plasticity, a sufficient amount and appropriate composition of nutrients both in health and disease are of key importance for growth, functional outcomes such as cognition and immune response, and the metabolic programming of long-term health and well-being. This compact reference text provides concise information to readers who seek quick guidance on practical issues in the nutrition of infants, children and adolescents. After the success of the first edition, which sold more than 50'000 copies in several languages, the editors prepared this thoroughly revised and updated second edition which focuses again on nutritional challenges in both affluent and poor populations around the world. Serving as a practical reference guide, this book will contribute to further improving the quality of feeding of healthy infants and children, as well as enhancing the standards of nutritional care in sick children. |

| pediatric nutrition book: Paediatric Parenteral Nutrition B. Koletzko, K. Krohn, O. Goulet, R. Shamir, 2008-08-07 Parenteral nutrition in general is required if nutritional needs cannot be met by oral or enteral feeding. In the paediatric patient, its initiation depends both on individual circumstances and the age and size of the infant or child. This compact reference work on parenteral nutrition in children is based on the ‘Guidelines for Paediatric Parenteral Nutrition’ that have been developed jointly by the European Society for Paediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (ESPGHAN) and the European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN), in collaboration with the European Society for Paediatric Research (ESPR). These guidelines were based on systematic literature reviews as well as a formal consensus process of a multidisciplinary panel of professionals. However, as a result of the scarcity of good quality clinical trials in children, many of the recommendations were extrapolated from adult studies and based on expert opinion. A detailed analysis of the available data was performed, and for each statement, the level of evidence and grade of recommendation was assessed. This reference guide has been conceived as an aid for the treating physician to assist him in the decision process, thus being a valuable companion in clinical practice. |
