{"product_id":"severe-adult-malnutrition-von-steve-collins","title":"Severe Adult Malnutrition","description":"\u003cp\u003eSevere adult malnutrition is a common feature in both emergencies  and developmental situations.  This book provides a review of the  history and issues surrounding adult malnutrition before going on to  examine new data on the diagnosis and treatment of adult  malnutrition.  Drawing heavily on studies conducted during the  height of severe famines in Somalia 1992, Sudan 1993 and Angola  1993, it presents original data on the most extreme cases of adult  starvation ever reported in medical literature.  The book establishes  screening and diagnostic criteria to assess malnourished adults  under the operational conditions seen during famine relief  programmes.  It provides evidence that measurement of middle  upper arm circumference is an efficient tool for assessing  admissions.  Arm circumference measurements can be combined  with simple clinical signs such as oedema, apparent dehydration and  the ability to stand, to produce prognostic models useful in  assessing admissions.  The book also examines the ideal protein  content of rehabilitation diets, concluding that diets with lower levels  of protein can substantially reduce mortality during the initial phase  of treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783843394840\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe limits of human adaptation to starvation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783843394840","offer_id":39470098153565,"sku":"9783843394840","price":68.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/515b3005-cfbc-4b84-9a33-28647986547d.jpg?v=1776495511","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/severe-adult-malnutrition-von-steve-collins","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
