Nutrition-Infection Interactions and Impacts on Human Health (eBook, PDF)

Redaktion: Pammi, Mohan; Abrams, Steven A.; Vallejo, Jesus G.

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book provides a summary of the current state-of-the-art evidence of nutrition-infection interactions, including relevant clinical and basic science research and its impact on health and disease. It explores the role of nutrition in health and disease as well as effects of both under and over nutrition. Chapters cover roles of GI microbiota, enteric syndromes, immune-nutrients, pro/pre and postbiotics, HIV infection, nutrient-drug interactions, infection-nutrient interactions in special populations, and identifying future research directions for nutritional and anti-infective strategies.

Autorenporträt

Mohan Pammi is assistant professor in the Department of Pediatrics at Baylor College of Medicine and an attending neonatologist at Texas Children's Hospital. Dr. Pammi has significant interest in nutrition-infection interactions and immunonutrients including lactoferrin and probiotics. His laboratory researches novel strategies to prevent and treat Staphylococcus and Candida infections. He has published articles on basic and translational research on lactoferrin and has considerable experience in conducting systematic reviews for The Cochrane Collaboration. Jesus Vallejo is professor in the Department of Pediatrics at Baylor College of Medicine and co-director of the Clinical Scientist Training Program at Baylor College of Medicine. He is a nationally known infectious disease specialist. His research focuses on the role of innate immunity in infections, particularly viral infections resulting in myocarditis. Steven A. Abrams is professor in the Department of Pediatrics at Baylor College of Medicine and a neonatologist at Texas Children's Hospital. He is also a faculty member at the Children's Nutrition Research Center located at Baylor College of Medicine.
