Description: This text, based on the proceedings of the third Clintec International Horizons Conference, offers a panoramic view of the effects of nutrition on the human body. An international array of multidisciplinary researchers present their latest scientific and clinical studies, and discuss results with researchers from divergent but related fields. The editors' aim, through this unique and creative interchange, is to strengthen scientific direction, propel a more rapid incorporation of technical and clinical advances into patient care, and directly improve nutritional care for the critically ill.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index.
Based on the proceedings of the Third Clintec International Horizons Conference held in Amsterdam in June 1996.
