En el marco de la atención nutricional integral hospitalaria, la terapéutica nutricional juega un papel fundamental en los resultados clínicos de pacientes en unidades de cuidados intensivos neonatales. La presente obra proporciona información sobre el cuidado nutricional parenteral en recién nacidos hospitalizados y aborda temas como los criterios clínicos de indicación, la prescripción, el monitoreo y la gestión clínica y administrativa durante el soporte nutricional parenteral. Está dirigida a profesionales de la salud que deseen ampliar sus conocimientos sobre los conceptos básicos, el cálculo, la implementación y el seguimiento del soporte nutricional parenteral en neonatología y busca favorecer la toma de decisiones clínicas y administrativas que generen ahorro de tiempo y mejoren la calidad de la atención en los recién nacidos.

La atención integral en salud de la terapéutica alimentaria enteral de los recién nacidos es fundamental: es un objetivo de singular importancia en el contexto de la atención oportuna, segura y de calidad. Esta atención integral debe contemplar la realización de una terapia médica nutricional que brinde las herramientas y los soportes requeridos para atender a los recién nacidos prematuros. Así pues, el presente texto pretende responder a desafíos que se presentan en la práctica clínica y que se analizan en el contexto de la asistencia clínica y la academia en aras de satisfacer las necesidades nutricionales de los recién nacidos prematuros. En 10 capítulos, este libro ahonda en aspectos clave para la práctica clínica y responde a las necesidades académicas y de investigación que surgen en las Unidades de Cuidado Intensivo Neonatal. En suma, esta obra constituye un documento de consulta rápida para profesionales de la salud, docentes y estudiantes que quieran complementar lo aprendido en el libro Terapéutica nutricional parenteral neonatal.
Improved conditions of care for premature infants have led to markedly increased survival rates over the last few decades, particularly in very low and extremely low birth weight infants. Nutritional measures play a central role in the long-term outcome, health and quality of life of these premature infants. In this publication, leading experts from all 5 continents present the most recent evidence and critical analyses of nutrient requirements and the practice of nutritional care (with the focus on very low birth weight infants) to provide guidance for clinical application. After the introductory chapters, covering nutritional needs and research evidence in a more general manner, topics such as amino acids and proteins, lipids, microminerals and vitamins, parenteral and enteral nutrition as well as approaches to various disease conditions are addressed. Due to its focus on critical appraisals and recommendations, this book is of interest not only for the researcher who wants to keep up to date, but also for the clinician faced with premature infants in his practice.
This reference provides concise information on the treatment and management of inherited metabolic diseases for the clinician. World experts cover all commonalities of therapy giving practical advice and guidance for daily practice. All established treatment protocols in this quickly developing area of medicine are clearly described, including follow-up protocols and monitoring. Alternative and experimental therapies are also described and evaluated. Numerous tables, figures, and several indices (symptom, disease name, tests, etc.) allow rapid access to specific details. This book is invaluable to anyone dealing with patients with inherited metabolic diseases, pediatricians, internists, neurologists, and clinical geneticists.
This edition of the Manual of Neonatal Care has been completely updated and extensively revised to reflect the changes in fetal, perinatal, and neonatal care that have occurred since the sixth edition. This portable text covers current and practical approaches to evaluation and management of conditions encountered in the fetus and the newborn, as practiced in high volume clinical services that include contemporary prenatal and postnatal care of infants with routine, as well as complex medical and surgical problems. Written by expert authors from the Harvard Program in Neonatology and other major neonatology programs across the United States, the manual’s outline format gives readers rapid access to large amounts of valuable information quickly. The Children’s Hospital Boston Neonatology Program at Harvard has grown to include 57 attending neonatologists and 18 fellows who care for more than 28,000 newborns delivered annually. The book also includes the popular appendices on topics such as common NICU medication guidelines, the effects of maternal drugs on the fetus, and the use of maternal medications during lactation. Plus, there are intubation/sedation guidelines and a guide to neonatal resuscitation on the inside covers that provide crucial information in a quick and easy format.
This work responds to the need to find, in a sole document, the affect of oxidative stress at different levels, as well as treatment with antioxidants to revert and diminish the damage. Oxidative Stress and Chronic Degenerative Diseases - a Role for Antioxidants is written for health professionals by researchers at diverse educative institutions (Mexico, Brazil, USA, Spain, Australia, and Slovenia). I would like to underscore that of the 19 chapters, 14 are by Mexican researchers, which demonstrates the commitment of Mexican institutions to academic life and to the prevention and treatment of chronic degenerative diseases.
Current research has given us a more complete understanding of how the chemicals in foods and herbs interact with natural and synthetic drugs. In some cases a single food or supplement can profoundly increase or decrease the toxicity and/or efficacy of a single drug. Although it is standard practice to examine the effects of food consumption on the
Written to help identify major gaps in our knowledge of how gender and age affect psychiatric diagnoses and to stimulate much-needed research to fill these gaps, Age and Gender Considerations in Psychiatric Diagnosis serves as both a valuable short-term source for the DSM-V Task Force and its disorder-specific workgroups, and a long-term guide for future studies that will contribute to revised psychiatric classifications in these three areas. Here, 47 experts present findings in three areas of psychiatric research that historically have been neglected but rightfully have received increasing attention in recent years and thus are worthy of investigation into their clinical features, etiology, and course: 1. Significant gender differences in prevalence, symptom profiles, and risk factors for mental disorders, including neurodevelopmental, neurophysiological, and environmental factors for men and women that cut across diagnostic categories-for example, the critical importance of gender in how psychiatric illness develops and presents; DSM's approach to gender to date; and relevant research findings and gaps in the epidemiology, etiology, and pathophysiology of disorders and the gender-related expression of psychopathology, including the controversial and complex question of whether DSM should have different diagnostic criteria for men and women. 2. Mental disorders in infancy and early childhood, including diagnosis and measurement of psychopathology; PTSD and social and cognitive factors related to the experience of stress; reactive attachment disorder (unique in part because of its specificity to early childhood); mood and anxiety disorders and difficulties in diagnosis; sleep disorders, including two new disorders, Night-Waking Dysomnia and Sleep-Onset Dysomnia; feeding disorders, including the need to address overeating and overfeeding (especially given the alleged U.S. epidemic of obesity); early childhood manifestations of behavior disorders; and early symptoms and diagnosis of autism. 3. Mental disorders in the elderly, such as dementia and depression, once considered normal consequences of aging but now understood to represent mental disorders, including the need to identify specific brain structure abnormalities, biomarkers, and the many contributing biological, psychosocial, and environmental factors of mental illness in late life and to understand their roles in the elderly to better diagnose and monitor disease progression. Written for clinicians and researchers alike, this thought-provoking compendium contributes critical information that helps enhance our understanding of the causes of mental disorders, develop effective preventive and treatment interventions, and inform future editions of DSM and ICD.
