Download or read book Nutrition and HIV written by Saurabh Mehta and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-05-15 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world continues to lose more than a million lives each year to the HIV epidemic, and nearly two million individuals were infected with HIV in 2017 alone. The new Sustainable Development Goals, adopted by countries of the United Nations in September 2015, include a commitment to end the AIDS epidemic by 2030. Considerable emphasis on prevention of new infections and treatment of those living with HIV will be needed to make this goal achievable. With nearly 37 million people now living with HIV, it is a communicable disease that behaves like a noncommunicable disease. Nutritional management is integral to comprehensive HIV care and treatment. Improved nutritional status and weight gain can increase recovery and strength of individuals living with HIV/AIDS, improve dietary diversity and caloric intake, and improve quality of life. This book highlights evidence-based research linking nutrition and HIV and identifies research gaps to inform the development of guidelines and policies for the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. A comprehensive approach that includes nutritional interventions is likely to maximize the benefit of antiretroviral therapy in preventing HIV disease progression and other adverse outcomes in HIV-infected men and women. Modification of nutritional status has been shown to enhance the quality of life of those suffering HIV/AIDS, both physically in terms of improved body mass index and immunological markers, and psychologically, by improving symptoms of depression. While the primary focus for those infected should remain on antiretroviral treatment and increasing its availability and coverage, improvement of nutritional status plays a complementary role in the management of HIV infection.

Download or read book Magnesium in the Central Nervous System written by Robert Vink and published by University of Adelaide Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The brain is the most complex organ in our body. Indeed, it is perhaps the most complex structure we have ever encountered in nature. Both structurally and functionally, there are many peculiarities that differentiate the brain from all other organs. The brain is our connection to the world around us and by governing nervous system and higher function, any disturbance induces severe neurological and psychiatric disorders that can have a devastating effect on quality of life. Our understanding of the physiology and biochemistry of the brain has improved dramatically in the last two decades. In particular, the critical role of cations, including magnesium, has become evident, even if incompletely understood at a mechanistic level. The exact role and regulation of magnesium, in particular, remains elusive, largely because intracellular levels are so difficult to routinely quantify. Nonetheless, the importance of magnesium to normal central nervous system activity is self-evident given the complicated homeostatic mechanisms that maintain the concentration of this cation within strict limits essential for normal physiology and metabolism. There is also considerable accumulating evidence to suggest alterations to some brain functions in both normal and pathological conditions may be linked to alterations in local magnesium concentration. This book, containing chapters written by some of the foremost experts in the field of magnesium research, brings together the latest in experimental and clinical magnesium research as it relates to the central nervous system. It offers a complete and updated view of magnesiums involvement in central nervous system function and in so doing, brings together two main pillars of contemporary neuroscience research, namely providing an explanation for the molecular mechanisms involved in brain function, and emphasizing the connections between the molecular changes and behavior. It is the untiring efforts of those magnesium researchers who have dedicated their lives to unraveling the mysteries of magnesiums role in biological systems that has inspired the collation of this volume of work.

What if you were told that something found in your diet could prevent memory loss, Alzheimer and heart disease? What if complex neurological problems, developmental delay in children and infertility in you or a loved one were due to the deficiency of an easily available nutrient?

That means they're not just theories - they're proven facts. This is what our new book is about – B12. Time to de-construct the mystery behind this vitamin to small, manageable, easy-to-understand pieces. “Vitamin B12 is the only nutrient not supplied by a vegan diet.

I'm sure I could have found the majority of the information on the topic doing my own research online, but the time investment required would have been huge. Getting the book at a discounted rate just made it even better value.” - Andy Cowan, JuiceFiend.co.uk. “The B12 Deficiency Survival Handbook” is the direct result of hours and hours and hours of data-crunching, research papers and case studies, separating the junk from the real legit science.

Download or read book Vitamin B12 Deficiency in Clinical Practice colour written by Hugo Minney and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-05-03 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr Joseph Chandy, a practicing doctor for almost 50 years, has written a fascinating and important book. Some 20 years after starting to practice, Dr Chandy came across a patient with vitamin B12 deficiency who presented with neurological symptoms, but without the characteristic changes in blood cells. In the subsequent 30 years, he dedicated himself in General Practice to identifying and treating patients who had insufficiency of B12. The book vividly described this very human story and the challenges he faced from the authorities who were reluctant to admit that he was making the correct diagnoses. The authorities behaved very badly in prioritising the 'rule book' over the clinical symptoms. The book shines throughout with Dr Chandy's devotion to the well-being of the patient and it should be read by all GPs, in training and those with experience. Medical scientists should also read the book since Dr Chandy ranges across several areas of medicine where much more research is needed. The book is very readable and full of helpful practical information. If the regulatory authorities read the book, it could lead to an improvement in an unsatisfactory aspect of the current practice of medicine.Note this version is printed in colour with colour diagrams and colour photographs. There is a much cheaper version printed in black and white. The charity www.b12d.org is selling both items at cost (cost of printing) so the price difference is entirely due to cost of printing. Please feel free to make a donation if you would like to.
