Do your students need to calculate someone's body mass, but can't remember the formula? A diabetic patient wants a piece of fruit and the dietitian isn't around to consult with: what should your students suggest or caution? Following the format of the widely adopted RNotes[trademark]: Nurse's Clinical Pocket Guide, this scrub-pocket-sized reference offers at-your-fingertips nutritional facts and important-to-know-but-rarely-memorized formulas.

Most indigenous microbes occur in the intestinal tract, and their interactions with the host are largely unknown. Current understanding of host-microbe interactions links early microbial contact to the origin of disease, a theory that has its roots in the hygiene hypothesis. Modern life style appears to deprive the infant of conditions that provide adequate anti-inflammatory or tolerogenic stimuli upon antigen encounter. Thus, maturational signals from the environment and the diet are insufficient to adequately shape the immune system. This publication deals with the relationship between the gut microbiota as well as altered pattern of early microbial contact and the origin of human disease. New aspects of the original hygiene hypothesis are discussed in relation to disorders spanning from allergy and autoimmunity to obesity. The results presented suggest that all these disorders may be linked to aberrant antigen absorption and immune responses associated with dysfunction of mucosal defense. Researchers, clinicians and students interested in the interaction of the host with indigenous gut bacteria and the consequences for human health will find this publication of utmost interest.show more

Through a combination of simulated medical records and online decision-tree modules, Medical Nutrition Therapy Simulations guides students through clinical experiences that allow them to practice their critical thinking skills. These simulations acclimate students to the routine and rigors of the average clinical rotation in which they're expected to do all of the following: Conduct a complete nutrition assessment of a patient Collect, analyze, and interpret data Set priorities for nutrition care plans Document conclusions about complex problems The 10 simulation scenarios included in this text outline the details of cases relating to congestive heart failure, diabetes, liver disease, and other critical conditions. These simulations can be used in role-play activities with preceptors or with actors, as well as with high- or low-fidelity simulation robots. Each new copy of this text also includes access to 10 online decision-tree modules that are focused on the same topics as the in-text simulation scenarios. In these decision-tree modules, each decision the student makes impacts the outcome of the patient's treatment, encouraging the student to improve their ability to make decisions effectively and reliably. A comprehensive resource unlike anything currently available, Medical Nutrition Therapy Simulations provides a perfect environment to practice and prepare for clinical rotations. Each new copy of Medical Nutrition Therapy Simulations is accompanied by an access code that unlocks 10 decision-tree modules that cover the following topics: Celiac disease Congestive heart failure Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease Type 1 diabetes mellitus Type 2 diabetes mellitus Liver disease Lung cancer Pancreatitis Renal failure Wound care These modules mimic real-life clinical situations in which choices or outcomes of treatment are uncertain and are determined by the choices made by the practitioner. Each module features three decision points that determine the final outcome for the patient. show more
