Malnutrition in Chronic Diet-Associated Infantile Diarrhea: Diagnosis and Management documents the proceedings of eighth annual symposium on nutrition research. The symposium addressed the complex problem of ""Enteropathy of Infantile Malnutrition"" by assembling a distinguished group of international scientists at the Children's Nutrition Research Center, Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas. Leading experts in the fields of pathology, immunology, gastroenterology, and nutrition reviewed the state of knowledge on the topic; researchers from countries including Sweden, the People's Republic of China, Brazil, India, Australia, and the United States presented the latest findings from field studies. The volume contains 52 chapters organized into seven parts. Part I contains papers on intestinal mucosal histology in infantile malnutrition and chronic diarrhea. Part II presents studies on Intestinal mucosal immunology. Part III examines the epidemiological relationship between malnutrition and chronic diarrhea in infants and children. Part IV focuses on the diagnosis and dietary and pharmacological management of chronic diarrhea. Part V deals with clinical disorders of transient carbohydrate malabsorption. Part VI reports on the terminology and classification of patients with malnutrition in chronic diet-associated infantile diarrhea while Part VII discusses future research priorities.
