Optimizing Metabolic Status for the Hospitalized Patient: The Role of Macro- and Micronutrition on Disease Management

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.
