This book presents an up-to-date review of biological, medical and psychological aspects of childhood obesity from a holistic point of view. Special emphasis is given to problems specific to paediatric obesity such as the development of adipose tissue, metabolic peculiarities, clinical features of syndromic obsesity, psychosocial factors and strategies for prevention and treatment. The volume highlights recent progress and delineates future research objectives.

Description
Bacterial meningitis remains a serious disease with significant morbidity and mortality despite the availability of potent antibiotics and remarkable advances in intensive care technology. However, renewed efforts in recent years have led to new therapeutic approaches and improved the outcome of disease. Authored by well-known and respected specialists, this book provides a much-needed review of the latest basic research findings and developments in the diagnosis and treatment of bacterial meningitis. The contributions address all aspects of the disease from epidemiology and pathogenesis to adjunctive therapy and the special problem of the immunocompromised host.
