Dr. Mimouni and Dr. Koletzko have assembled some of the world's leaders on breast milk for preterm infants to provide a current overview of the benefits and barriers. Authors address the following topics: Preterm human milk macronutrient composition; Bed-side human milk analysis in the NICU; Human milk fortification; DHA supplements; Potential benefits of bioactive proteins in human milk for preterm infants; New insights into variations of metabolite and hormone contents in human milk; Immune properties of human milk in relation to preterm infant feeding; Human milk oligosaccharides; Treatment and quality of banked human milk; Use of donor milk: collection, storage and safety; Postnatal CMV infection through human milk in preterm infants: Transmission, clinical presentation, and prevention; NEC and human milk feeding; Neurodevelopmental outcomes of preterm infants fed human milk; Evidence-based methods that promote human milk feeding of preterm infants; and Human flavor learning: the breastfeeding experience. Lactiation consultants, NICU nurses, and neonatologists will find these clinical review articles to be very valuable.

Obesity has reached epidemic proportions globally and presents a major challenge to policy makers and clinicians alike. Recent research has suggested that obesity has its origins in early life and that early diet can programme a developing fetus and young infant s future susceptibility to obesity. This volume contains recent findings presented at the International Conference on Early Nutrition Programming and Health Outcomes in Later Life: Obesity and Beyond - a satellite meeting of the 15th European Congress on Obesity, held in Budapest in April 2007. Basic scientific research, data from epidemiological studies and clinical trial results were all presented during the programme.

This volume includes articles discussing the evidence for an effect of early nutrition programming on later obesity and cardiovascular risk; the growing evidence for an intergenerational cycle of obesity; the role of maternal leptin in programming appetite; possible cellular mechanisms for altered energy balance, including mitochondrial programming and the effects of regulators of metabolism; and how epigenetic changes might be the fundamental underlying mechanism explaining programming effects. Consumer understanding of the concept of early nutrition programming and the extent to which early nutrition programming is taken into account in infant feeding policies are also discussed.

The possibility that nutrition in early life could influence propensity to adult disease is of great concern to public health. Extensive research carried out in pregnant women, in breastfeeding women and in infants strongly suggests that nutrition in early life has major effects on long-term health and well-being. Health problems such as hypertension, tendency to diabetes, obesity, blood lipids, vascular disease, bone health, behaviour and learning and longevity may be a ~imprinteda (TM) during early life. This process is defined as a ~programminga (TM) whereby a nutritional stimulus operating at a critical, sensitive period of pre and postnatal life imprints permanent effects on the structure, physiology and metabolism.

For this reason, academics and industry set-up the EC supported Scientific Workshop -Early Nutrition and its Later Consequences: New Opportunities. The prime objective of the Workshop was to generate a sound exchange of the latest scientific developments within the field of early nutrition to look for opportunities for new preventive health concepts. Further, a closer look was taken at the development of food applications which could provide (future) mothers and infants with improved nutrition that will ultimately lead to better future health. The Workshop was organised by the Dept. of Pediatrics, University of Munich, Germany in collaboration with the Danone Institutes and the Infant Nutrition Cluster, a collaboration of three large research projects funded by the EU.

Many of the contributors have important roles to play in a new EC supported integrated project: Early nutrition programming of adult health (EARNEST) which will take place between 2005 and2010 and will involve more than 40 research centres. Further Workshops on the same theme are planned as part of this project.

Proceedings of the 9th International Conference of the International Society for Research in Human Milk and Lactation (ISRHML), October 2-6, 1999, Bavaria, Germany. The quality of infant feeding is of major importance for child health development and well being, and breast feeding is the natural form of supplying food to the infant and is considered to be ideally adapted to the needs of both mother and child. This contributed volume therefore, brings together the research on the physiological foundations and on the biological effects of breast feeding, both short and long term. This book contains the work of scientists from over thirty countries, many of whom are leading researchers in their fields, and details papers presented by the invited speakers of the conference and short summaries of presentations of original research results.

Lieblingsbuch für Lieblingsfach. Sie wollen in der Pädiatrie keine Frage offen lassen? Sie legen Wert auf eine leicht verständliche Sprache, viele Abbildungen und eine übersichtliche Gliederung? Dann machen Sie den Koletzko zu Ihrem Lieblingsbuch! Und er bietet Ihnen noch mehr: kurze Einführungen für den ersten Überblick, zahlreiche Fallbeispiele in den Kapiteln, eine Übersicht über die Meilensteine der kindlichen Entwicklung, zuverlässige Normwerttabellen, zahlreiche Merksätze, kurze Zusammenfassungen in Lerntabellen und Übersichten, und ein Fallquiz für noch mehr Praxisnähe. Der Koletzko hilft Ihnen, strukturiert zu lernen, Kernaussagen zu erfassen, Zusammenhänge zu verstehen und ein umfassendes Bild der Kinderheilkunde zu erhalten.

Ziel des ErnAhrungsratgebers ist es, Kindern, Eltern und Erziehern eine fachlich zuverlAssige, zugleich aber auch verstAndliche BroschA1/4re zum Thema Cholesterin an die Hand zu geben. In dem BA1/4chlein werden kurz die Grundlagen des Cholesterinstoffwechsels in verstAndlicher Form dargestellt sowie die Folgen einer schweren HypercholesterinAmie verstAndlich gemacht, ohne Angst zu erzeugen.
Der Schwerpunkt des Bandes liegt in der ErnAhrungsberatung. Er gibt Hilfestellung zur Auswahl von Lebensmitteln und Speisen anhand von attraktiven Beispielen und Rezepten. In den teils erzAhlenden, teils in Dialogform gehaltenen Text sind vierfarbige Illustrationen und tabellarische Darstellungen eingestreut.

Hidden hunger is not about providing enough calories, it is about a lack of micronutrients, which has life-long consequences for the children who are mostly affected. This begins with physical and cognitive developmental disorders and continues with an increased risk of non-communicable diseases and the occurrence of obesity. The book compiles the contributions of the Fourth Congress on Hidden Hunger 2019 as original articles. The focus of the congress was the problem of malnutrition and overweight, which can coexist and is termed a "double burden". Part of the book deals with the causes of malnutrition and the challenge of achieving an agricultural system that is more focused on food quality. Another part discusses the causes and intervention approaches to tackling childhood obesity, especially in connection with malnutrition. All in all, this publication is a summary of important work by highly renowned authors on the topic of the congress: "Hidden Hunger and the Transformation of Food Systems: How to Combat the Double Burden of Malnutrition?" Like its two predecessors, the book fills an important gap by summarizing the essential aspects for science, applied research, and politics at a high level.
