内容説明

This text portrays an understanding of metabolism, mediators, and mechanisms, and the role they play in formulating optimal support for surgical patients. In addition to an emphasis on the general considerations of nutrition and metabolism, the book covers the basics of intermediary metabolism and the causation and pathophysiology of cytokines and mediators. The practical aspects of patient care, including potential complications and how to prevent them, are also discussed. This revised edition incorporates advances in the field, from the increased emphasis on parenteral nutrition to nutritional pharmacology and examination of the mechanisms and mediators by which changes in metabolism occur in illness.
