Fetal Programming: The Connection between Nutrition and Disease covers the intestinal microbiota of newborns, how it is extremely prone to changes influenced by the method of delivery, diet, use of antibiotics and probiotics by the mother, environment, socioeconomic status of the mother, geographical location, infections with pathogenic microorganisms, and more. The book describes the root of disease-oxidative stress and improper nutrition-and how they specifically effect pregnancy. In recent years, it has become more and more evident that nutrition is crucial for the proper development of the immune system of the fetus, and its disruption can lead to disease.This period in a newborn’s life is crucial for interventions on the intestinal microbiota in order to reduce the risks of developing chronic diseases by correcting dysbiosis.Explores research linking the father's diet and its affect on the fetal programming of the child's diseaseIncludes different common diets analyzing the effects on healthDescribes diseases due to improper nutrition, as well as treatment through nutrition

In severe asphyxia, lipid peroxidation occurs. Neonatal lipid concentration may indicate the severity of asphyxia and be a reason for needing cooling therapy. Asphyxia in Neonates describes the results of research into the impact oxygen deficits in neonates. The physiological consequences of asphyxiated newborn infants include changes in the pH of plasma and changes in lipid concentrations. These changes can result in apoptosis, loss of cell membrane integrity, and damage to the brain.FeaturesReviews pathophysiology of asphyxiaDescribes the influence of asphyxia on lipids concentrationsSummarizes the weight distribution of neonates with asphyxia based on lipid concentrationIllustrates the use of lipids as an indicator of prognosis following asphyxiaProvides guidance for lipids parameters in cooling therapy
