Description
Of increasing interest in clinical nutrition world-wide is the role of diet in the recovery of hospital patients. The subject remains poorly understood by the non-specialist however, even though these are the personnel chiefly responsible for the administration of nutritional support in the clinical setting. This book provides a complete reference source for all clinical departments and interested physicians covering every aspect of nutritional support from its scientific disease states.
