Adult Short Bowel Syndrome: Nutritional, Medical, and Surgical Management serves as a practical guide to the medical, surgical and nutritional care of complex patients with Short Bowel Syndrome (SBS), providing information on SBS with the most up-to-date, evidence-based data available. Additionally, the book presents global perspectives and highlights emerging areas of research that are influencing the care of patients with SBS. Intended for nutritionists, dieticians, physicians (specifically, general practitioners, gastroenterologists, and surgeons), nurse practitioners, pharmacists, students and researchers, this book serves as a quick reference on the medical, surgical and nutritional care of complex patients with short bowel syndrome.

Presents emerging areas of research related to Short Bowel Syndrome (gut microbiome, pre/probiotics), as well as current applications in clinical practice Compiles an overview, classification and complications of the Short Bowel Syndrome disease state Contains effective dietary concepts (including rationale and use of oral rehydration solutions) for managing malabsorption caused by Short Bowel Syndrome Includes medical and pharmaceutical management techniques to compliment nutrition interventions Discusses surgical options for consideration in patients with Short Bowel Syndrome Highlights international perspectives on treatment and care

Prepare for clinical practice by "solving" 29 realistic case studies in nutrition and medical nutrition therapy. Using the medical record as its structure, you draw on the information provided (hospital admission data, laboratory test results, intake/output records, and physician and other health care provider progress notes) to solve the case. A series of questions follow the case, focusing on pathophysiology; assessment; clinical, nutritional, and behavioral outcomes; interventions; and appropriate follow-up for the patient.

Nelms/Roberts' NUTRITION THERAPY & PATHOPHYSIOLOGY, Cengage International Edition, 5th Edition, covers disease pathophysiology and treatment, emphasizing the best application of the nutrition care process to prepare you for practice and serve as a reference textbook. Evidence-based practice strategies for prevention, treatment and management of numerous conditions -- from cells to organ systems - is explored. Illustrations enhance your understanding of disease progression, surgical procedures and treatment protocols, while Practitioner Interviews and case studies equip you with real-world insight on how to work with patients. Coverage of nutrition therapy, including pediatric and older adult populations, medical treatment, the role of nutrition, nutrition-focused physical examination, micronutrient assessment, nutrition interventions, monitoring and evaluation of the nutrition care process and more, is included.
