Book Description
Abstract: A reference text for clinicians and nutrition researchers presents the proceedings of a recent symposium that focused on energy and protein requirements during infant development. The text includes 11 authoritative, critical reviews and 4 technic al discussions, prepared by experts in the respective fields of study, that have been grouped among 4 principal themes: (1) energy needs during infancy (including a model to explain metabolic rate variability); (2) protein requirements during infancy (covering the needs of both term and preterm infants, and the types of proteins and growth modulators in human milk); (3) protein-energy interactions, including their assessments and mechanisms; and (4) problems in meeting the energy and protein requirements of infants (including amino acid needs and glucose and lipid metabolism in parenteral feeding of infants). A discussion paper is appended to each of these 4 sections. Tabular data and illustrations are provided throughout the text, and literature citations are appended to each of the reviews.

Book Description
In this volume, world-renowned specialists review the latest scientific information and recommendations for protein and energy requirements of infants and children. New data obtained with the latest techniques show significantly lower requirements for both energy and protein than previously thought. This will have far-reaching implications for nutrition and health, not only during infancy and childhood, but also for long-term health outcomes, such as obesity and related disorders. Indeed for the latest generation of some infant formulas, many of the new nutrition concepts presented in this volume (especially those concerning protein level and quality) have already been translated into clinically tested products that are coming ever closer to the "gold standard" human milk, not only in terms of composition, but also of outcome. The important public health implications of the information reviewed in this volume provide essential reading for pediatricians, clinical investigators and health workers engaged in the prevention of nutrition-related disorders.

Book Description
The Model Chapter on Infant and Young Child Feeding is intended for use in basic training of health professionals. It describes essential knowledge and basic skills that every health professional who works with mothers and young children should master. The Model Chapter can be used by teachers and students as a complement to textbooks or as a concise reference manual.

Book Description
The first chapters discuss growth and development, nutrient needs of infants and children, and the clinical approach to assessing and collecting food intake information. The next chapters focus on nourishment of well infants and the special needs of preterm and low-birth-weight infants. The following chapters deal with behavior; how food patterns are developed, shaped and changed. Subsequent chapters focus on more current issues related to the development of food patterns for young children, parent and child interactions as they influence food patterns and the use of behavior modification techniques to achieve the acceptance of foods and teaching feeding skills to young children. Also discusses the application of nutrition in special circumstances, such as children who are vegetarians and the prevention of chronic diseases by dietary intervention.

Book Description
With the aim to improve clinicians' understanding of the important effects nutrition can have on maternal health and fetal and neonatal development, Maternal-Fetal Nutrition During Pregnancy and Lactation defines the nutritional requirements with regard to the stage of development and growth, placing scientific developments into clinical context.

Book Description
Lipids have been in clinical use as components of intravenous nutrition for over 50 years. Over the last 15 years, new and improved lipids that include olive oil and/or fish oil have replaced the more traditional ones. These new lipids offer the opportunity to deliver high amounts of fatty acids and possess different functional properties: in particular, they can influence inflammatory processes, immune responses and hepatic metabolism. This book brings together articles written by leading international authorities in the area of intravenous lipids. Contributions discuss the latest findings in the field, ranging from pre-clinical research to the most recent clinical trials. Lipid functionality and utility in pediatric, adult surgical and critically ill patients are covered, as is the use of lipids in long-term home parenteral nutrition. Addressing a broad spectrum of topics, this publication provides a wealth of information for basic scientists, clinical researchers and clinical practitioners alike.

Book Description
Abstract: The role played by nutrition in growth anddevelopment, and the energy and nutrient requirements ofchildren are the focus of a text for students of health care occupations. How much and what kinds of foods areappropriate for children are described. The collection andassessment of food intake information is discussed. Manyaspects of eating and feeding during infancy, childhood and adolescence are examined. These include the development offeeding patterns; management of mealtime behavior; nutrition and athletics; vegetarian diets; diet and hyperactivity;nutrition of the developmentally handicapped; and otherspecial nutritional problems and concerns.

Other chapters focus on the nutritional importance of nonprotein nitrogen; the role of essential and nonessential amino acids in neonatal nutrition; the significance of nucleic acids, nucleotides, and related compounds in infants; and the role of tumor necrosis factor in protein metabolism.

Book Description
WHO and UNICEF jointly developed this global strategy to focus world attention on the impact that feeding practices have on the nutritional status, growth and development, health, and thus the very survival of infants and young children. The strategy is the result of a comprehensive two-year participatory process. It is based on the evidence of nutrition's significance in the early months and years of life, and of the crucial role that appropriate feeding practices play in achieving optimal health outcomes. The strategy is intended as a guide for action; it identifies interventions with a proven positive impact; it emphasizes providing mothers and families the support they need to carry out their crucial roles, and it explicitly defines the obligations and responsibilities in this regards of governments, international organizations, and other concerned parties.
