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

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.

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.

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 Autismo tem cura
by Marcus Pfeiffer Renata Campos J. PintoO autismo é bem mais comum do que muitas pessoas pensam. Os últimos estudos nos mostram números chocantes. Pior do que isso, podemos ver um aumento constante de crianças diagnosticadas com autismo. Como se não bastasse, quando visitam médicos e pediatras, os pais ouvem que o autismo é uma enfermidade mental sem cura e que precisam aprender a conviver com isso. Permita-me dizer a verdade, a recuperação do autismo não é simples. E como poderia se o próprio autismo é um transtorno tão complexo? Contudo, ele definitivamente é curável. Vou repetir mais uma vez: O autismo tem cura Não se deixe enganar pelas declarações dos cientistas e especialistas. E acima de tudo, não permita que ninguém te desencoraje. Principalmente se você acredita em Deus, você precisa saber que Ele já criou a cura para todas as doenças.
