This
book is a guide for clinicians seeking to use metabolic approaches in
the care of hospitalized patients. Since a nutritional component exists
for practically any disease process managed, it is important to properly
address the macro- and micronutrient issues that can help facilitate a
favourable clinical outcome.
Metabolic medicine is a
newly recognized speciality that applies proven nutritional approaches
to support hospitalized patients within existing standards of care. Optimizing Metabolic Status for the Hospitalized Patient: The Role of Macro- and Micronutrition on Disease Management
addresses the gap of nutrition knowledge among physicians who generally
care for patients without addressing the nutritional and metabolic
perspective.
Features:
- State-of-the-art guidelines for practicing metabolic medicine in the hospital setting
- “Hands on” guide for day-to-day metabolic management of hospitalized patients
- Personal insights from one of the field’s leading practitioners, drawing upon decades of experience
- Historical reviews of key scientific developments
This
book is written by Dr Michael M. Rothkopf, Clinical Professor of
Medicine at Rutgers/New Jersey Medical School. Dr Rothkopf founded the
Metabolic Medicine Center at Morristown Medical Center and is the
current Metabolic Medicine Consultant for the Heart Transplant, Lung
Transplant, Cardiac Surgery and Wound Care Programs at RWJBH/Newark Beth
Israel Medical Center.
This book is directed at the
physician level of hospital care. It provides value to a broad range of
physicians regardless of their medical specialty or subspecialty. It
will also be useful for medical students and resident physicians in
training as well as nurse practitioners and physician assistants working
in hospital settings.
