Nutritional Pathophysiology of Obesity and Its Comorbidities: A Case-Study Approach challenges students and practitioners to understand the role of nutrients within the pathophysiology and development of disease, specifically those diseases which develop as a result of obesity. Through a case-based approach, the author presents complex clinical scenarios that require multiple treatment strategies, including targeted diet modification as an adjuvant to medical therapy. The book is divided into 9 modules and 5 appendices each of which covers aspects of obesity and its comorbidities. Within each module, a case is detailed with relevant history, laboratory and physical data, and follow-up information. Each case is followed by a resource section which delineates current understanding of the pathophysiology of the condition, as well as the actions of nutrients and food components shown to modify these processes. A "further readings" section cites current supporting clinical and basic literature as well as published guidelines.

Praise from Veterinarians, Authors & Book Reviewers "The future is upon us and this ground-breaking book is a vital
cornerstone. In dealing with cancer, our worst illness, this
Survival Guide is educational, logical, expansive, embracing,
honest and so needed." "The message of this book jumps off the written page and into
the heart of every reader, and will become the at home bible for
cancer care of dogs. The authors have given you a sensible and
systematic approach that practicing veterinarians will cherish. I
found the book inspiring and, clearly, it will become part of my
daily approach to cancer therapy for my own patients." "I wish that I had had The Dog Cancer Survival Guide when my
dearly beloved Flat-coated Retriever, Odin, contracted cancer. It
would have provided me alternative courses of action, as well as
some well needed "reality checks" which were not available from
conversations with my veterinarian. It should be on every dog
owner's book shelf--just in case..." "A comprehensive guide that distills both alternative and
allopathic cancer treatments in dogs...With the overwhelming amount
of conflicting information about cancer prevention and treatment,
this book provides a pet owner with an easy to follow approach to
one of the most serious diseases in animals." "Picking up The Dog Cancer Survival Guide is anything but a
downer: it's an 'empowerer.' It will make you feel like the best
medical advocate for your dog. It covers canine cancer topics to an
unprecedented depth and breadth from emotional coping strategies to
prevention-in plain English.Read this book, and you will understand
cancer stages, treatment options, and types, and much more. If you
have just had the dreaded news, pick up a copy and it will guide
the decisions your dog trusts you to make."
