En los últimos años nos hemos dejado deslumbrar por los avances técnicos y los nuevos recursos a nuestro alcance para realizar intervenciones quirúrgicas y actuaciones médicas cada vez más audaces, pero nunca hay que olvidar que una corta interrupción en el aporte de substratos energéticos y plásticos al organismo puede desencadenar importantes alteraciones enzimáticas, metabólicas y una restricción de la capacidad de homeostasis. La desnutrición ha estado asociada desde antiguo con la disminución de la resistencia a la enfermedad. Aunque la Nutrición Clínica sigue siendo una disciplina joven, ya ha desarrollado un importante cuerpo de doctrina tanto en los aspectos preventivos como curativos de la alimentación natural y artificial, y ha protagonizado una expansión sin precedentes en las últimas décadas. Hoy podemos considerar la Nutrición como una especialidad agente-específica, igual que la Genética o la Farmacología, y, como ellas, con interacciones órgano-específicas, sin olvidar su relación con la edad o determinadas situaciones fisiológicas específicas. Pero es ya un hecho incuestionable que avanzamos a pasos agigantados hacia la Nutrición de Precisión, que consiste en trabajar en la práctica clínica con un enfoque Órgano-Específico en lo que se refiere a la evaluación y tratamiento nutricional. El proyecto que el lector tiene en sus manos fue concebido con dicha filosofía.

Addressing all aspects of brain death and thoroughly detailing how a potential organ donor should be maintained to ensure maximum use of the organs and cells, The Brain-Dead Organ Donor: Pathophysiology and Management is a landmark addition to the literature. This first-of-its-kind, multidisciplinary volume will be of interest to a large section of the medical community. The first section of the book reviews the historical, medical, legal, and ethical aspects of brain death. That is followed by two chapters on the pathophysiology of brain death as investigated in small and large animal models. This includes a review of the many hormonal changes, including the neuroendocrine- adrenergic ‘storm’, that takes place during and following the induction of brain death, and how they impact metabolism. The next section of the book reviews various effects of brain death, namely its impact on thyroid function, the inflammatory response that develops, and those relating to innate immunity. The chapters relating to assessment and management of potential organ donors will be of interest to a very large group of transplant surgeons and physicians as well as critical care and neurocritical care physicians and nurses. Neurologists, endocrinologists, neurosurgeons, and pathologists will also be interested, especially in the more basic science sections on various aspects of brain-death and hormonal therapy. Organ procurement organizations and transplant coordinators worldwide will also be interested in this title. Other chapters will be of interest to medical historians, medico-legal experts, and ethicists.

Retail is ‘going digital,’ and grocery shopping is no exception. While some businesses are relaying on their corporate website to make the sale, both traditional brick-and-mortar and new disruptive business models are increasingly using online marketplaces to offer their products online. European Union law has been gradually updated to reflect this new reality, with Intellectual Property Rights legislation and Consumer Law leading the way toward a suitable regulatory framework in the Platform Economy. However, the EU has not devised a comprehensive strategy for tackling the challenges posed by the online sale of physical consumer goods, such as effective public enforcement in online environments. In fact, sector-specific legislation, including Food Law, largely ignores online transactions. In this context, the book evaluates the impact that online marketplaces are having on European Union sector-specific legislation and its e-nforcement. The goal is to assess whether the existing regulatory and policy framework are sufficient for promoting compliance and bridging the enforcement gap in the digital single market. Focusing on the e-food market, the book presents a state-of-the-art overview of how online marketplaces are altering EU law and its enforcement by public authorities.

Humanity is aging. In the last century, life expectancy has increased by as much as 25 years, the greatest increase in 5'000 years of history. As a consequence the elderly constitute today the fastest growing segment of the world's population. This new situation creates many social problems and challenges to health care which both the developed as well as the developing countries will have to cope with. The present publication shows that scientific progress has reached a level where nutritional interventions may play a decisive part in the prevention of degenerative conditions of age, improvement of quality of life and impact on health care burden and resources. Topics deal with such different aspects as the influence of prenatal and early infant nutrition on the future aged individual and effects of energetic restriction on longevity. Further contributions include studies on mitochondrial alterations, digestive problems, specific metabolic deviations mediated by insulin, bone degradation, structural changes, neuromuscular dysfunctions, mental state of the elderly as well as the response of the immune system to nutrient intake. Finally the book offers a review of requirements appropriate to meet the age-related public health challenges of the 21st century.
