Abstract

"Pediatric Food Preferences and Eating Behaviors reviews scientific works that investigate why children eat the way they do and whether eating behaviors are modifiable. The book begins with an introduction and historical perspective, and then delves into the development of flavor preferences, the role of repeated exposure and other types of learning, the effects of modeling eating behavior, picky eating, food neophobia, and food selectivity. Other sections discuss appetite regulation, the role of reward pathways, genetic contributions to eating behaviors, environmental influences, cognitive aspects, the development of loss of control eating, and food cognitions and nutrition knowledge. Written by leading researchers in the field, each chapter presents basic concepts and definitions, methodological issues pertaining to measurement, and the current state of scientific knowledge as well as directions for future research."--Publisher's website.

Abstract

Often, information in review books can raise as many questions as it answers. This interferes with the study process, because the learner must either look up additional information or skip ahead without truly comprehending what he or she has read. As an alternative, Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition: A Practically Painless Review presents bite-size chunks of information that can be read and processed rapidly, helping learners to stay active while studying and to pick up new information the first time they read it. This book's question and answer format allows for self-testing or study with a partner or a group. The format also facilitates dipping into the book during a few minutes of downtime at the hospital or office. Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition: A Practically Painless Review is a quick and easy way to master these tricky topics and is suitable for those studying for the pediatric board exam, practicing physicians brushing up their skills and any busy clinician who wants to learn more about these topics while on the go.

La nutrizione artificiale in età pediatrica ha contribuito a modificare in modo sostanziale l’outcome e lo stato nutrizionale in numerose condizioni patologiche acute e croniche causa di malnutrizione. Questo volume, che si propone come guida pratica per l’utilizzo della nutrizione parenterale in pediatria in ambito ospedaliero, ha lo scopo di presentarne i principi e di descriverne gli aspetti pratici: vengono infatti trattati nei vari capitoli i fabbisogni energetici e nutrizionali, la composizione delle miscele nutrizionali, le indicazioni alla nutrizione parenterale, il monitoraggio clinico dei pazienti e le potenziali complicanze della procedura. Il libro può quindi rappresentare un utile strumento di lavoro non solo per medici pediatri, ma anche per il personale infermieristico e per i farmacisti ospedalieri nella loro attività quotidiana. .
