Nutrition is one of the most important factors that impact health in all
areas of the lifecycle. Pregnant women need adequate food and health care
to deliver a healthy baby who has a good birth weight and a fighting chance
for survival. In many regions of the world, the infant mortality rate is very
high, meaning that many...

most brilliantly by...
The field of DNA repair has been the subject of increasing interest at both the
genetic and biochemical levels, leading to impressive progress in this area. DNA
repair and its associated regulatory mechanisms lie at the heart of almost every
fundamental aspect of cell biology, including transcription, cell cycle, apoptosis,
and...
The focus of this book is on the normal postoperative appearance of
the gastrointestinal tract and the abnormalities specific to various
surgical techniques. The authors have generally avoided the topics of
