Nutrition and cancer
Nutrition plays a crucial role in supporting patients receiving treatment for cancer. Carefully considered nutritional options can help to manage patients with weight loss and cachexia, support the patient's ability to recover from surgery and cope with treatments such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Patients living with and beyond cancer can also benefit from advice on optimal nutrition and lifestyle changes.
Edited by Dr Clare Shaw, Consultant Dietitian at The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust, Nutrition and Cancer takes an unrivalled look at this prevalent disease, offering the reader:
* An insight into the nutritional challenges faced for patients with cancer
* A practical guide to nutrition and dietetic practice in cancer care
* A detailed look at nutritional options for different diagnostic groups
* Contributions from a wide range of cancer specialists
An excellent resource for dietitians, clinical nutritionists, doctors, nurses and other health professionals working with cancer patients, this book is also a fascinating reference for students and researchers with an interest in the area.

Nutritional Strategies for the Very Low Birthweight Infant
The goal of nutritional management in VLBW and ELBW infants is the achievement of postnatal growth at a rate that approximates the intrauterine growth of a normal fetus at the same postconceptional age. In reality, however, growth lags considerably after birth; although non-nutritional factors are involved, nutrient deficiencies are critical in explaining delayed growth. This practical clinically-oriented pocketbook reviews and summarises all available clinical evidence. It enables the reader to implement parenteral or enteral feeding plans, with the goals of reducing postnatal weight loss, earlier return to birthweight, and improved catch-up growth. Both nutrient balance and growth and the impact on neurodevelopment and health outcomes are evaluated. With many tables and algorithms to summarise key data and management strategies, Nutritional Strategies for the Very Low Birthweight Infant is an invaluable guide for all healthcare professionals caring for premature babies.

Manual of Pediatric Nutrition
The growing knowledge base of nutrient requirements, the continuing evaluation of what constitutes a healthy diet, and increasing awareness of the influence of diet in infancy and childhood on adult health have underscored the critical importance of nutrition in determining health and wellness in children, both in childhood and in the rest of their lives. The 5th edition of the Manual of Pediatric Nutrition provides the necessary background and practical basis for nutritional assessment and therapy for pediatricians, dietitians, house officers, fellows, and students. Organized into three main sections, (I) Nutrition and the Well Child, (II) Nutrition and the Hospitalized Child, and (III) Nutrition and Specific Disease States, the manual covers the basics of nutrition assessment, nutritional requirements, and feeding guidelines for healthier infants, children, and adolescents. Oral health and food assistance programs are also reviewed, along with the use of specialized enteral and parenteral products in the treatment of sick children. A wide range of pediatric clinical disorders are included in the section on specific diseases. Appendices provide conversion tables, information on drug-nutrient interactions, and growth charts.

Tele‐Medical Nutrition Therapy to Promote Healthy Eating and Nutrition Adherence of Chronic Patients in the COVID‐19 Pandemic: A Pragmatically Before‐After Trial
ABSTRACT
Background and Aims
Patients find it difficult, during the pandemic, to receive appropriate nutrition services because of the limited access to health services. This study assessed the effectiveness of a tele‐consulting nutrition intervention on the nutrition adherence of patients with diabetes and hypertension.
Methods
A tele‐medical nutrition therapy (MNT) intervention was conducted as a one‐group before‐after trial. The estimated sample size was 314. Of these, 183 patients were selected from Hefdah‐e‐Shahrivar and 131 from Farabi Hospital. Patients were asked to complete an adapted version of the nutrition adherence self‐reported instrument to compare nutrition adherence when they received face‐to‐face therapy versus tele MNT.
Results
In total, 166 completed all phases of the study. The results showed that the nutrition adherence score significantly increased compared to before the intervention. Hedges's g effect size also confirmed the high efficacy of telenutrition therapy. The magnitude of differences was within a high range (effect size 3.76 [CI: 3.40–4.12]).
Conclusions
The present findings showed that providing teleconsulting nutrition services to diabetic and hypertensive patients can positively affect their nutrition adherence. Telenutrition to promote a healthy diet can contribute to effectively controlling diseases in chronic patients during/after the pandemic with no gaps or failures.
Trial Registration
This study was a tele‐nutrition intervention. In this study, we provided consultation on regular food consumption and did not order any chemical substances or nutritional supplements. Furthermore, we did not perform any treatment or invasive intervention, we assumed that a registration number was unnecessary, so we did not apply for clinical trial registration.

Bioactive foods in promoting health
While everyone knows fruits and vegetables are beneficial to good health, it's increasingly seen as important to know which ones can be effective in treating specific illnesses. For example, which are good for cardiac care? Which can help combat and treat asthma? What are the safety concerns to be aware of when using herbs in combination with traditional medicines?Diet and nutrition are vital keys to controlling or promoting morbidity and mortality from chronic diseases, and the multitude of biomolecules in dietary fruits and vegetables play a crucial role in health maintenance. They may, therefore, be more effective and certainly could have different actions beyond nutrients however this science is still evolving. This book brings together experts working on the different aspects of supplementation, foods, and plant extracts, in health promotion and disease prevention. Their expertise and experience provide the most current knowledge to promote future research. Dietary habits need to be altered, for most people and the conclusions and recommendations from the various chapters in this book will provide a basis for that change.The overall goal of this book is to provide the most current, concise, scientific appraisal of the efficacy of key foods and constituents medicines in dietary plants in preventing disease and improving the quality of life. While vegetables have traditionally been seen to be good sources of vitamins, the roles of other constituents have only recently become more widely recognized. This book reviews and often presents new hypotheses and conclusions on the effects of different bioactive components of the diet, derived particularly from vegetables, to prevent disease and improve the health of various populations.
